    I wanted to try with the free trial, long time fan of AC franchise.
    Did not play Od as it was similar to Origins ( which I enjoyed but it is not an assassin game anymore)
    Tho the reason why this game has 1 rating. Is that they still do not have the unbelievable common sense to allow SKIP Cinematic. How despicable. This game also keeps restarting instantly when you save settings    I wanted to try with the free trial, long time fan of AC franchise.

    Tho the reason why this game has 1 rating.
    Is that they still do not have the unbelievable common sense to allow SKIP Cinematic. How despicable.

    This game also keeps restarting instantly when you save settings without asking. So it repeats every time you adjust ( 6 times last 20 min and still intro scene.)
    There is no real way to make this game look good beside on high otherwise it all looks kind of blurry and disturbing in a odd way, changing monitor did not work. ( HDR)
    I just cannot believe this trash. SItting in front of something I could not care less for 20 min already and I am just walking and nothing else.
    This is beyond stupidity I do not get it.
    If you dont care for story like most do and just want to play a viking game, then you are F and do not buy.
    THis game has over 3 hours of unskippable garbage.    … Expand

    This game offers a huge amount of content, arguably, too much. If you either don't care or find the story missions and setting interesting, this could be a great sandbox experience for you to put in potentially hundreds of hours in. If you, like me, found the story and quests boring and uninspired, you will be dreading having to put another few dozen hours into just completing the story.This game offers a huge amount of content, arguably, too much.

Some of the best story missions are in optional side quests, and while the implications of these story moments are interesting, it seems that it will only end up mattering in future entries.… Expand

    By far the worst entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Yes Vikings are pretty cool, but when the story is bland and world feels empty. That's not something for me.

This is some netflix, disney kind of work, it just breaks immersion really bad. I heard they already had black ancient greeks in odyssey so they couldn't resist the wokeness again i guess. Tbh, It's an insult to scandinavian history, people and they do it on purpose for the sake of sjws etc. I want to give it 4 because of the graphics and couple of main characters development.

    It is the most boring AC game, I ever played. I am trying to finish it since one year and each time I try, I don't want to play it again. P.S: I played all AC games. After I purchased this game, I started to play AC Origins, which I bought many years ago. I could finish that in one week, as like all other ac games

    I played quite a few assassin's creed... but this one, can't be bothered to focus on it for more than 15 minutes. It's formulaic, boring, repetitive and uninteresting. uninstall and forget. Don't get me wrong, it's the same on all ubisoft franchises: same thing over and over again, it get's boring really quickly.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a great-looking open-world game with impressive landscapes and cinematography. However, the checklist collectible open-world still needs some work to feel truly engaging, and combat is too tedious and too frequent to be compelling. As a lapsed fan of Assassin's Creed trying to see if I can click with the series once again, Valhalla didn't quite hook me as I was hoping it would.

    Assassins Creed Valhalla is a lot of fun and easy to sink dozens of hours into. It is the best entry in the more recent trilogy and genuinely elevates the gameplay mechanics. Content could be considered somewhat bloated still, but it is diverse enough and the setting and story is solid most of the way through.

    Sneaking is fun, fighting is fun, walking through the great outdoors is so much fun. Sightseeing too! Valhalla is free minded and could be innovative, but lacks skills to persuade its players about that. [Issue#308]
