    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 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 thatGreat, fun game as expected, youtubers keep hating it, just like they did with Valhalla, but that's just how it is now.

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.… Expand

    Thank 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 While other companies release just boring, outdated games (Horizon, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring), i knew i could rely on Ubisoft releasing something that is actually fun to play.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.

    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. 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.

    In times where gaming is pretty much dying and bunch of gamers (hopefully it's minority) think that every game should have only Souls combat (because apparenly game is boring, if it doesn't take you 20 hours to fight one boss), i'm glad that there's still Ubisoft.

Honestly without Ubisoft i might give up gaming and only come back when Rockstar releases something (and that's like once every 8 years). Capcom is always hit or miss and there really isn't much else. Maybe Dead Space remake delivers (hopefully), Days Gone was amazing, but didn't get a sequel, because it was an actual game and not enough movie. Sony movie games in general don't interest me, it's like playing interactive cutscenes. Ubisoft is only one of those companies who actually makes lots of games every year. Of course not all of them hit the mark, but ones that do, are great. This is one of the good ones.… Expand

    Amazing world and abilities. The raven shapeshifting is the coolest thing since Zelda BOTW glider. More AC Valhalla is more fun for me. There is a lot in this DLC and I think that the price is worth it since people pay a lot more on cosmetics in other games or even in this game. On PC the Ubisoft+ is perfect way to enjoy this if you do not afford 40 dollars. I am happy to see more fantasyAmazing world and abilities.

    Good game, doesn't reinvent the wheel, but as game reviewers have already stated, innovation is completely overrated and even unnecessary as Elden Ring got 95 on Metacritic by using the same animations and graphics from Dark Souls 3.

    This is a great installment in the already large Valhalla. People say they don't need fantasy, this is not AC, this should be included in the gamepass... I say this is an incredible expansion with enough content and new features to be sold separately. Kuddos for Dawn of Ragnarok!

    Well, technically a 9.5/10 due to bugs but a solid DLC and well worth the money. The writing is very solid, the quests are solid, exploration and combat are much better, especially exploration which isn't good in the base game. Good stuff, easily the best paid Valhalla DLC so far.

    Only company that actually releases multiple games each year and each time certain type of "gamers" try to sht on them, while actually everyone buys their games anyway. I bet Ubisoft haters are those same losers who think that Elden Ring is most innovative game of all time, 2013 graphics and 2016 combat, "innovative at it's finest". Ubisoft at least tries.

    Solid DLC. Funny to watch some people here complain "huh i hate this game, so nobody can like it! Must be bots!" Lmao.

Just cause you have bad taste in video games, is literally your personal problem and honestly i'm not surprised that Ubisoft fans are finally making new accounts here to protect their favorite games, because compared to Sony Movie games, Ubisoft fans have never cared for user scores on some sites, these games sell millions anyway, people are too busy playing these games than caring about some useless user scores on some websites. But it has been pretty obvious that in recent years some 40 y old virgins are endlessly trying to hate Ubisoft games (for whatever lame reasons they have), so i'm absolutely not surprised that Ubisoft fans are finally trying to say that "this is not okay basically, this mindless hating has literally gone too far", so they are clearly making new accounts, so they could express that they DO like this game. I know it might be shocking concept to some people, but gamers actually have different taste in gaming. I almost feel it's kind of cringe that i have to explain something so obvious, but why not i guess. Either way, solid DLC.… Expand

    The best DLC of the bunch. It wholly deals with the fantastical parts of Valhalla which to me were the only interesting parts of Valhalla. If you enjoyed the England portions, you can safely skip this DLC but otherwise a great purchase.

    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.

    Dawn Of Ragnarok is an extremely ambitious expansion that could be categorized as a stand-alone game. With a significant playtime that fluctuates between some very funny and somewhat tedious, the gameplay can be very unique and immersive.

    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.
