I gotta say, I love the Assassin's Creed games, but they're getting waaaaay fucking bloated. I know I'm in the minority wanting shorter games but fuck off with these massive 100-hour+ sagas. Took me about 170 hours to get 100% trophies in AC Odyssey and I'm at about 200 hours into Valhalla with no end in sight. Full disclosure: I'm sure I could burn through the story missions and be done with it, but I have a touch of OCD or some shit with in-game maps and feel absolutely compelled to track down all the little collectibles.

Valhalla is going to be my last AC game for the foreseeable future, which bums me out because I genuinely enjoy these games but I can't keep myself from collectible hunting so I guess I'll completely avoid these games in the future

Skyrim is an open-world game done right (or at least done better). It's fun to explore. They don't litter the mini-map with treasures, you find treasures and shit through questing and exploring naturally. I've spent well over 1000 hours in Skyrim and I'd go back to it any day. The way they present the mini map and tie trophies to collectibles in AC is fucking annoying and turns playing the game into a chore.

Again I realize some people can probably ignore this shit, so it's partly my own doing because my brain is wired to track these things down, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating
I definitely don't have time for all the shit they put in open world games now so, for me, it's all for nothing. Hell, I started witcher 3 like 3 months ago and haven't done much of anything lol. I just think that mainly all this time between titles is beyond ridiculous. I'm old school. I'm fine with having a solid 30-70 hour playthrough of something. I don't really need something that I have to pour a thousand hours into to feel like I've gotten the full experience. 6-10 years between games in the same series is absurd, really, especially when it's closer to 10. I mean, skyrim came out in 2011 and it's gonna be probably 2024 or 2025 before we see the next one. If we go on the same time frame for the one after then I'll be in my 50s when the next one comes out lol. I may not even live to see the 8th installment. I get they work on other games, though, so they aren't the best example
