    In terms of its size Dawn of Ragnarok is a full-fledged, traditional expansion we used to see back in the day rather than a typical modern DLC. It offers a surprisingly good story but the mythological setting didn’t bring any substantial changes to the gameplay. It’s just more of Valhalla and while I enjoyed the base game I’ve simply had enough of Vikings by now.

    While Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok has some brilliant ideas, it's far from the epic expansion that you'd want it to be. It's hampered by reused mechanics and a story that's woefully disconnected from your main character's arc.

    For the most part, though, Dawn Of Ragnarök is more of the AC Valhalla you like: more boating around singing, more armour, more raids (in which I kept getting referred to as Eivor but we'll let that one go). More NPCs with UK regional accents. More sub-bosses for different areas, leading you towards a big boss. A big new weapon and new, grim ways to instakill enemies. It's not game changing but it does feel game subtly-altering, and if you had to get one Valhalla DLC it should be this one. I think the best endorsement of Dawn Of Ragnarök is that it's fun, and it made me want to play Valhalla more. Job done.

    Thank you Ubisoft for releasing another fun, entertaining video game, that doesn't have bosses that take 7 hours to beat. While otherThank you Ubisoft for releasing another fun, entertaining video game, that doesn't have bosses that take 7 hours to beat. While other companies release just boring, outdated games (Horizon, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring), i knew i could rely on Ubisoft releasing something that is actually fun to play. Some whiners say all the time "huh Ubisoft should learn from other companies" ummm no. It's the other way around. Other companies should learn from Ubisoft, how to make actually fun games.… Full Review »

    Great, fun game as expected, youtubers keep hating it, just like they did with Valhalla, but that's just how it is now. Every new Ubisoft gameGreat, fun game as expected, youtubers keep hating it, just like they did with Valhalla, but that's just how it is now. Every new Ubisoft game will be sht on by youtubers until 2030, because they just can't help themselves. They wont stop hating until Ubisoft goes back to AC 1 style, but thankfully that will never happen. If it was up to me, i think they should go back to something that would be combination of Black Flag story/combat and Unity parkour. But i take Valhalla and Dawn of Ragnarok any day over AC 1. You shouldn't care at all what some youtubers think, you should decide what you like. Valhalla was great and this is also solid, best out of all expansions imo. So my advice for AC fans would be - Ignore negative youtubers and enjoy great games, easy.… Full Review »

    Lmao IGN review is hypocrisy at it's finest. They complain that while story is good, it still feels like Valhalla and they give it 6/10. ButLmao IGN review is hypocrisy at it's finest. They complain that while story is good, it still feels like Valhalla and they give it 6/10. But when Elden Ring feels like Dark Souls 3, then that's completely fine? lmao. Good game, just avoid negative reviews i guess, especially IGN apparently.… Full Review »
