Bottoms said she was “perplexed” about the governor’s controversial announcement to reopen the state’s bowling alleys, nail salons, gyms, tattoo parlors and other “non-essential” businesses at the end of this week. The mayor of Georgia’s largest city said she is “at a loss” both as a parent and as an elected government official by the governor’s decision. Bottoms said she did not speak with the governor prior to his announcement, which comes as the state’s coronavirus cases and deaths are still increasing each day....

Bottoms, who made history with the most successful single fundraiser of any one mayor in Atlanta history, tweeted out a link to a letter addressed “Dear Atlanta” explaining her news and her choice not to seek re-election.

Atleti were already 3-0 to the good after the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano but took no chances in the Russian capital, with Angel Correa and Koke on target before Fernando Torres hit a brace and substitute Antoine Griezmann rounded off the scoring with an exquisite chip. However, Filipe Luis departed the pitch on a stretcher after being left writhing in pain from a blow to the calf....

On a fateful night at the Vicente Calderon, Atletico made a stern statement by restricting the free-flowing Barcelona attack to producing embers instead of blazing away with the game. They also won the tie somewhat spectacularly with Antoine Griezmann underlining the game with a fantastic brace to his name. Let us look at some of the game’s talking points: #1 Antoine Griezmann’s star turn There can be little doubt left as to the quality of Antoine Griezmann....

Despite Ubisoft’s ability to consistently output bestselling games, many have claimed the studio has been creatively strained in recent years, and that Assassin’s Creed suffers from franchise fatigue. Consequently, terms such as “Ubisoft towers” have become somewhat disparaging descriptions of overused gameplay elements, especially within open-world games. However, with Assassin’s Creed Rift, Ubisoft has the potential to redeem itself, as it seems to be trying something new with the franchise....

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Update 1.5.3 Changes Detailed in Patch Notes Adding to the difficulty in the decision-making, only four melee abilities and four ranged abilities can be equipped in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so players that want to be predominantly archers or swordsmen will have to decide which alternate skills help bolster their primary fighting style the most. For gamers that have settled on their favorites, stick with what works....

As an open world game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is filled to the brim with exploration opportunities, side quests, and other activities for players to engage with. For this reason, there are three categories to examine when determining how long it takes to beat: story only, an average playthrough, and a 100% completion run. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Review Roundup The first category, story only, is for players that ignore all side content throughout the entire game....

There’s some obvious differences at first glance, such as Odyssey’s DLC being episodic and Valhalla filtering in smaller content. However, there seems to be one big difference in the overall approach. Of course, despite AC Valhalla’s Wrath of the Druids DLC releasing soon, there is the caveat of how little is known, but even a cursory glance notices that major myths seemingly won’t play much of a role in Valhalla’s DLC....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the latest iteration of Ubisoft’s iconic stealth-action franchise, takes the player to 9th century England and follows the story of Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan, as she or him (players can choose between a male or female version), along with their brother Sigurd Styrbjornsson, finds a home for her clan in the new world. The game has grown to be not only one of the biggest titles in the franchise but one of Ubisoft’s most successful titles till date....

As many know, Ubisoft has been rocked with several misconduct and sexism allegations all the way up to the now-former CCO. Ubisoft is reportedly taking steps to correct this toxic workplace culture, but as it looks forward, many have started looking back. Because “women don’t sell,” the franchise has been fighting a battle behind the scenes to even get them into the game. Unfortunately, that has likely bled into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as well (due to its development cycle dating a couple years back), and it forces players to see the gender change mechanic in an all new light....

Ubisoft has long said it plans to continue updating Valhalla with additions well after launch. The company talked about how popular the game has been since its launch in November, and how Ubisoft expects to keep the momentum going forward.

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: How To Get Saint George’s Armor One of the best weapon types for devastating offensive maneuvers is the Flail, which, despite their slow attack start-up, can unleash insanely fast consecutive strikes that deliver huge health and stun damage to targets. With some information on what Flails do in each hand, Eivor Wolf-Kissed can become a destructive tornado of steel. In The Main Hand While equipped in Eivor’s main hand, a Flail will have a light attack combo with 7 sinister strikes....

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: How to Get Excalibur Those who want a heavy-hitting weapon that also has a fast attack speed and versatile maneuvers should definitely try out a Great Sword, as they are arguably the best melee weapon type in the game. Players can be aggressive and not leave themselves too vulnerable to counterattacks by foes or focus on defense by mixing up parries, dodges, and light attacks. To best use one of these big blades, however, Eivor will need to learn techniques that can bring out a Great Sword’s deadliest strikes....

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: How to Get Gungnir (Odin’s Spear) Although Spears can be used from the start of the game, their true potential unlocks after one acquires the Heavy Dual Wield perk from the Way of the Bear skill tree, as this grants new attacks to a Spear’s moveset for even more options to impale enemies. To best make use of this polearm, players should practice with them in various manners to learn the best combos and techniques with which to dominate the battlefield....
