It looked that way from early on and I've heard similar stuff.  Definitely a bummer, Assassins Creed games can be fun but Valhalla looked worse than Odyssey early on.  Hell I'd rather play Black Flag Remastered than Valhalla and I really dug the idea of fighting the Templar Knights and just Brits in general.  1776 in like 800 yehhh buddy.

If you enjoy it then hell yes enjoy the hell out of it but I would personally really like the series to return to the Altair/Ezio style or at least the Unity one.

I feel like they shouldn't of made such massive changes after Syndicate. Mechanically speaking it's probably the most polished "traditional" Assassin's Creed game. The story is really well-devised and generally once you learned how they revised parkour it became the best thing ever. Probably one of my favorites behind Brotherhood and 2.

Didn't quite like the story or forced [code]BOAT[/code] mechanics of Black Flag but I also enjoyed it for what it was.
