To be fair I like the series more with Origins/Odyssey, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea :)

We'll see how Valhalla goes but I imagine it'll be more Origins/Odyssey vs older titles. Levels for combat are much better in Odyssey compared to Origins though and it's not too difficult to keep up. They did improve leveling in the game and I'd like to see another improvement in the next game.
