If you've somehow managed to avoid Assassin's Creed up to this point and are looking to dive in, (or, as is more likely the case, you're looking to fill a gap in the vast library of historical murder simulators Ubisoft has created since 2007) now might be the time to do so. Ubisoft is running a franchise sale on its stabby depictions of human civilisation, offering impressive discounts on some of the best games in the series, as well as its newest entry at half-price.
The best offers in the franchise sale are, jointly, Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Both games are available for 90% off, bringing the price of each down to $6 (£5) apiece. If you have to choose between them, Valhalla is the larger and more comprehensive game of the two, featuring numerous systems and ideas that don't appear in Origins.
