SECTOR GAMING 20: Assassins Creed Valhalla + SpiderMan Miles Morales + Bienvenida Xbox Series X / S + Noticias
Episode notes
The episode reviews the launch of Xbox Series X and Series S in Spain, just days before the arrival of PlayStation 5, and debates whether a new console needs an AAA exclusive to justify the purchase. It also discusses sensationalist rumors and reports about supposedly burned or faulty consoles, along with their possible effects on less-informed buyers.
In the games segment, the podcast offers first impressions of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, highlighting its charisma, movement, combat and recreation of New York, while leaving a definitive verdict for later. The main discussion focuses on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: its Viking setting, exploration, consequential choices, RPG progression, customization and combat. Impressions are highly positive, but the hosts also point out bugs, artificial-intelligence issues, crafting shortcomings and technical aspects that still need polishing.
The episode also recommends two virtual-reality experiences, I Expect You To Die and Asgard’s Wrath, describing their puzzles, combat, exploration and physical-space requirements. The final section covers news about games, prices, delays, acquisitions and console loading-time comparisons.
