lol but the biggest disappointments were the complete lack of historical or mythological accuracy and the fact that they promised to give many many killing animations but in the end, it was just the demo animations with maybe 10-15 more added in and you saw the same animation an insane amount of times in one battle, unlike in AC where the animations are usually more varied. Even the more unique animations were restricted to the QTE section and not in the actual combat. Also the fact that the campaign is abysmally short, which I suppose is a good thing so you don't have to waste anymore of your time.

All in all, the only good things I can say about it is the gore, the ridiculous-to-the-point-of-funny developments and again, the gore. Killing people brutally is sweet, but it gets tiring when you have seen about 30-40 guys getting their arms chopped off by you in just under an hour -_- Enough with the freaking arms!
