    This game was a letdown TBH, so much hype yet it failed to match my expectations, I stopped playing the game roughly 6 hours into it, things became repetitive too quickly and boring and buggy experience, and there was literally no parkour. But ig there is more to the story later down the line but for me it's an okish game that's it.

    If its open world wasn't so repetitive and full of boring interactions, I could see it as a successful game. It's not so bad that it can't be played, but it's not a good game because it's made with the logic of classic Ubisoft games. Also, these games have evolved from being historical games to being too fantastical and that's not good.

    Valhalla is fun most of the time. Raids, missions, combat feel right. Stealth doesn't and this mechanic doesn't work. I really dislike homo propaganda. It makes me sad taht even in my leisure time I'm attakced by unpleasent ideology.

    I'd rate Assassin's Creed Valhalla a solid 7/10. The game stands out with its intriguing dual-setting approach, transitioning from the cold expanse of Norway to the warm summer landscapes of England.

    Unfortunately, the character development falls flat, leaving many of the characters feeling like they were written by a 5 year old child. Despite these shortcomings, Assassin's Creed Valhalla maintains its appeal through its unique settings and gameplay elements.    … Expand

It can hardly be called AC, considering the main gameplay loop is focused on frustrating boss fights and open combat, alongside raiding and pillaging to build your own setllement. While the game has some interesting ideas, it focuses too much on what is considered popular in the media and RPG genre: fantasy elements, because Witcher 3 had them and tons of boss fights alongside a large focus on combat, because Dark Souls had it. Which is a shame, because i can see a good game beneath it all, but a lot of the games elements are half baked, sometimes systems in place don't work properly, mostly stealth and climbing: You will find Eivor getting detected through walls or by enemies far beyond range of sight, parkour is frustrating; most of the time Eivor will jump down or go to a wrong place, ignoring player input.
    Game looks and sounds beautiful, it's the best part of the entire experience, alongside exploration. Maybe if the game focused on what made the AC franchise great and tried to improve its original parts, instead of focusing on whats popular, the game could have been good, great even. But as it stands, Valhalla overstays its welcome by beign a 300h+ game to fully complete, filled with content and systems that are not compelling enough to justify this sort of game time.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a fun viking game but a weak/middling assassin's creed game since a lot of the features prioritise open combat over stealth, taking the Assassin's Creed name off of Valhalla is a surefire way to get more enjoyment out of the game

    When I went through the Origins and the Odyssey, I did not complain that this is "no longer the same assassin as it was", although it is so. I simply enjoyed exploring the beautiful and vast worlds of ancient Egypt and Greece. Well, plus / minus the stories were not bad, albeit they were simple. Even in these games there was a fairly convenient game-play.
    And now we have Valhalla...    When I went through the Origins and the Odyssey, I did not complain that this is "no longer the same assassin as it was", although it is so.

    And now we have Valhalla... beautiful graphics? Yes, there is, but it's already 2023, so it should already be just norm. Music? Yes, it's just yes. Story? It is on about the same level as the previous ones, but a little more interesting. There are also a lot of side quests, but almost all of them are five minutes long.
    Now about what I didn’t like, and what made me quit the game, after a certain point:
    A lot of small bugs... ugly and uneven animations... disastrously stupid AI of enemies... Catastrophically disgusting and hacky DLCs... transformation of authenticity into a donation dump of hundreds of tasteless and unnecessary items for the Vikings era... constant changes by the company of various interesting things which were found in the game by the players (as soon as something appears on YouTube, it is deleted by the company).
    But the strongest rejection for me personally was the combination of the terrible appearance of the map and the stub of the "scanning eye" with the fact that these maps are simply incredibly huge. I suddenly realized that I didn't want to explore this World IN THIS way. I don't want to spend SO much time on this using a very unpleasant scanner tool that worked fine before in Origins and Odyssey.
    For me personally, they killed the franchise with their Valhalla game. Rest in peace Assassin's Creed.    … Expand

    Overall a fun game, with beautiful gameplay and really good graphics if it was not for one HUGE problem: the story is PURE WOKE.

    I really appreciate the idea of treating the story of viking invasion of England, but all the elements which were added together with it have absolutely no logical tie with history, to the point of sometimes being ridicolous: let's start from the first problem: the idea of pairing Normans with Assassin Creed's narrative -thereby being anti-templar and anti-christianism- is so against historical truth to the point of ludicrousness.

    Viking's original religion was in no way a bad copy of the Mujaheeddins, in fact the whole idea that vikings believed that they were fighting to be the best warriors in order to ascend to the Walls of Allah (Wall-Allah or Valhalla) has no logical tie with history : pre-christian Scandinavians believed that fire was the spirit of divine and by the time that they were invading England, the Norwegians had become the Normans thanks to French influence, hence adopted Christianism as their religion and latin as their tongue. I would expect that from a French software house this would be a very much known things, but as it seems wether France has forgotten its history or no-one inside this company is effectively French.

    The only vikings who did believe in Valhalla were those enslaved by saracinians and working for them as pirates in the mediterranean.

    Had one read even the most vague book of history, he would know that one of the greatest kings of the Norman-English kingdom in fact later on led the crusades PRECISELY WITH THE TEMPLARS, his name was Richard the Lionheart.

    So the entire script behind this game looks like an attempt from really non-french and non-european people to cancel European culture.

    The reasons why I am awarding this a 7, still, are purely in order to award the visible effort of non-politicised developers who worked hard to bring very good graphics, music and a very solid and fun gameplay, otherwise the storyline itself could be simply thrown in the trash like the entire Assassin Creed saga.

    Please bring back REALLY French narrative and not this protestant/woke/leftist/nazi-like ridicolous stuff in Ubisoft. Thank you.    … Expand

    Now Ubisoft, you have to deal with me.
    Before I go on to rate this I will explain the background I come from so you can understand.
    For a Long time, I have been an AC fan, my First AC game was in fact AC1 on the PS3, It was also the first game I paid for after saving a lot of my parents' lunch money. I spent and enjoyed my time in that game so much. At the time I never knew there was a    Now Ubisoft, you have to deal with me.

    For a Long time, I have been an AC fan, my First AC game was in fact AC1 on the PS3, It was also the first game I paid for after saving a lot of my parents' lunch money. I spent and enjoyed my time in that game so much. At the time I never knew there was a sequel, so seeing the box for the first time had me surprised and gitty. So I saved and bought that one too and AC II blew my perspective of games out of my mind. So years went on, I Played AC Brotherhood and Revelations, Waited for ACIII and was also amazed by it. AC Black Flag wasn't bad too and then came AC UNITY, and the Last AC Game I played, Syndicate.

    Then something changed, something I've been noticing ever since Unity, The Helix Credits the weirdly marketed content, well that didn't matter because a New AC game was coming out. To my surprise, It wasn't an AC game at all. It was some RPG, Damage based game with soft stealth...This is where my Disolvement of this franchise began and it continued for more than Half a Decade. AC in my Eyes was truly dead.

    But why am I playing Valhalla then, I like it don't I, oh yes I do. No, I hate this game right down to its core. Let me tell you why?

    -Stealth mechanics are some really basic implementations complemented by rubbish-looking animations.
    -Poorly Reused assets, I understand that reusing assets is a normal thing in the game industry but Ubisoft literally used pretty much every asset they made over the 5 years and used it right in front of your face. Literally, the first female character you meet uses assets from Odyssey.
    -Poor Combat Mechanics, The combat is a hack and slash with glorified finishers. It feels like a High budget mobile game.
    -Animation Feedback, I don't know who did the animations but it all feels so generic there is nothing that feels high quality anymore.
    -Character, Eivor is a boring character with a cheap past to make him/her important.
    -Boring level Design, Are We still claiming things to see things? Damn. It's understandable that you want the player out there in the world but who cares if there aren't interesting things to do?

    AC Valhalla uses every trend, marketability, lazy development trend, and modern gaming feature in existence to make sure that it makes money.
    And funny enough people like this. I get it people like content, but is quantity really good as quality?
    Personally no that's why I've waited for so long.

    So if every single thing about this game is designed so cheaply, why am I playing it, why are other people playing it?

    For me at least I am playing it so I get to see where the franchise is and what exactly not to do If I ever Work for Ubisoft or make a game myself.

    For other people, it may seem normal for Assassin's Creed to be like this as it made it easier for them to play. Sadly for veterans like me, we are not so fooled.

    Anyway, I am going to rate this what it feels like after playing a bit of it.
    If I ever finish this game I will update but after playing I guess over 10 hours it feels like a 5/10. This is not an AC game. It is half of something like it was made in such a rush.

    I'm going to be here a while...Oh did I mention this game also tried to destroy my PC by running in unlocked mode and in 4K on start-up, I mean geez Ubisoft, It's bad enough that this game sucks, now you want to suddenly test my PC's hardware on 100% Utilization across the board.

    Definitely don't do that again.    … Expand

    I really loved this game, it could have been my favourite AC.... if only the number of bugs and crash was reasonnable. I crash in each session, lost my progression. It's not acceptable.

    A part from this buggy aspect, the game is excellent, I love the universe, the soundtrack a part from one of the Raid one which too repetitive. A lot of variety, a lot of quests....

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is way different from AC games(I didn't play Origins yet.), it has a skill tree and level system which I love. I think this is a good game, but it's not an AC game.

    -Terrible climbing controls. (not that terrible as first games.)
    -So long, bro. Last few hours I was crying when I was playing, just wanna scream "Please finish now, I can't take any longer."

    Lo primero que he de decir es que para disfrutar este título se ha de jugar con todo a máxima dificultad excepto el combate, que si te cuesta puedes adaptarlo a tu nivel.

    La IA es bastante mala, los niveles no están preparados para el sigilo por lo que esta disciplina deja mucho que desear. La dificultad del combate es absurda y proviene únicamente de los proyectiles que te impactan de manera automática y de conceder invulnerabilidad temporal a ciertos enemigos.

    Dejando de lado eso, el juego es una pasada. Mundo bonito y divertido de explorar, gran narrativa y una jugabilidad que a mi me ha atrapado por más de cien horas.

    Como recomendación, no te obsesiones con el 100% del juego. Juega lo que te apetezca, si comienza a cansarte o abrumarte, déjalo por unos días y retorna luego.    … Expand

    Fabuła na początku wydaje się ok, ale jest niesamowicie rozciągnięta i ostatecznie zwyczajnie głupia. Pełna jednakowych postaci i niemal nic nie zapada w pamięć.
    To niesamowite, że udało im się sprawić, by bitwy ze zdobywaniem zamków były aż tak jednakowe i monotonne.
    Zakończenie tak nijakie, że nawet można nie zauważyć, że to koniec.
    Ta gra jest trochę jak opowiadanie przez bananowe dzieci jak to jest być biednym.

    Dziwny koncept bohatera o "zmiennej" płci (którego zdecydowanie dominującą jest kobieta), ale możemy narzucić mu 1.

    Bohater/ka przez całą grę tylko szuka czyim być przydupasem, by ten ktoś zaczął ją lubić, mimo że solo mogłaby wygrać wszystkie wojny.

    Krótkie, ale poważniejsze zadania poboczne, lecz mimo tego bez pomysłu i szybko zaczynają nudzić.
    Mechanika szukania samemu tego, co trzeba w nich zrobić, jest spoko i początkowo je ratuje, ale z czasem nawet to im nie pomaga.
    Czasem niemoralne/toksyczne rzeczy są przedstawione jako coś dobrego lub po prostu fajna zabawa. Granie w tą grę momentami odbierało mi chęci do życia.

    "Pyskówki", czyli dialogi będące rymowanymi, słownymi potyczkami są głupkowate. Miałyby więcej sensu z dubbingiem w tym samym języku co napisy, ale nadal byłyby głupkowate.

    Każda czynność wałkowana jest milion razy do porzygu. Gra nie szanuje czasu gracza.
    Mimo upływu lat gra potrafi bugami zepsuć jakieś wyzwanie lub misje i zmusić do powtórki.

    Klimat brudniejszy, niektóre lokacje niczym żywcem wyjęte z Wiedźmina.
    Bardzo ładna trawa.
    Brzydcy ludzie, zwłaszcza dzieci - ich twarze często przypominają dziwacznych, chorych starców, albo dorosłych karłów.

    Ekonomia nie istnieje. Nie kupuje się broni, tylko śmieci.
    Od początku do końca gry używałem tego samego zestawu zbroi, czasem tylko zmieniając jego wygląd (a jest ich mało i wszystkie niezbyt atrakcyjne).
    Odnajdywane skrzynie i innej "wielkie skarby" to zazwyczaj syfiaste sztabkami żelaza czy innego syfu do poprawiania statów ekwipunku.

    Its a great game but Ubisoft publish way to many AC games so the improvements don't out way the cost of the game. I would rather have a new AC games once every 3 to 4 years and have a hole new experience then have a new one every 1 to 2 years and have a new story and a couple other changes.

I would rather have a new AC games once every 3 to 4 years and have a hole new experience then have a new one every 1 to 2 years and have a new story and a couple other changes.

    The textures in this game look mostly the same as Odyssey. Their is slight improvements to the character modals and of course some aspects do look nicer. But the textures overall haven't improved much at all.
    I feel like way to much remains unchanged and that isn't a good thing when spending £60 on a new game. Ubisoft need to stop over working their devs and give them more time to give us a mind blowing experience when we buy a new AC game. I don't wanna pick up a new title and be able to compare them side by side seeing what's new and what isn't. When you compare the original AC games apart its like night and day but now comparing Odyssey to Valhalla is like 12pm to 3pm.

    The horse riding in this game feels like something I would have expected 10 years ago. Even the 1st Red Dead Redemption game had better horse riding. The horses feel like they are imported from a car game and then a horse texture has been applied.
    Certain textures in the game have a really low resolution and then others look amazing? Like the pin on character modals, Snow, smoke, horses... They all look out of place.

    The map in this game makes Odyssey look like a complete planet. Its tiny. At 1st I thought I was just on the tutorial map. Nope that is the map. Like I said if you give the developers more time then they would be able to give us more content. Maps are supposed to get bigger not 1 third of the size. Well if the map is smaller then it must be packed full of content right? WRONG! Some things in this game just felt long and dragged out and didn't drive anything forward. Just unnecessary filler content that felt like just another thing to do and I just wanted to skip over it.

    The monetization in this game sucks as well. I feel like Ubisoft are just creaming the series at this point. You can basically buy everything in this game for cash including weapons and XP. When I see that in a game I know not to expect much from it. That's when they no longer care about the games integrity and they are squeezing every last drop out of it and it really shows in the gameplay.
    Randomly when I was playing the game, after the tutorial I was given loads of OP items out of no where? I think its cos I was playing the Ubisoft+ version but still things like this ruin the game as its not the way its supposed to be played.

    Ubisoft just overall aren't the best place to get games from. I try not to be bias with the stuff I have read the company online. With all their good games they end up killing them with monetization and over saturating the market by releasing a new one every 5 minutes.

    I am not saying this game is terrible thou. It just gets ruined by the publisher rinsing it for easy money. The story is overall quite good. Some of the side objectives are fun, like this dice game for example. The combat overall is fluent although unchanged from the previous game, although more healing supplies would be nice. At times I was running round like an idiot looking for health items. I believe this game would have lived up to expectations if it was given more time and wasn't ruined with buyable weapons, armor and XP. I hope Ubisoft gets brought out by a better company.    … Expand

    The game crashed, froze, music stuck, me being stuck on a mission, me being literally stuck. The characters in my story are teleporting.
    Except for the crashes, they were all minor concerns for me.
    I'm enjoying the game, but the story, writing, and dialogues are all mediocre. There's no real goal, nothing to propel you forward, and you're basically doing the **** for other people over and over again.
    The gameplay is enjoyable, but not exceptional, and this is not an AC. It's attempting to link it to the franchise, but it's simply not possible; the parkour is so constrained that 90% of what you could do in unity is lost here.

    Imagine being on a wall, looking behind you, and wanting to leap from the wall to another ledge, which is something you can do in every previous game, but you can't do it here. It's quite frustrating.
    The hidden blade is practically useless; there is no incentive to go stealth other than to waste time. Eivor isn't even a member of the creed.

    There are 5 songs on the boat; I couldn't find anyway to find find or unlock more; imagine sailing for 50 hours with the same 5 songs or just the sound of the water.

    Eivor isn't really engaging or charismatic. He serves no actual function other than to serve as a slave to everyone.

    Upgrades and all of the weapons' stats and runes seem pointless; all you need is XP and skills to get genuine power.

    So many micro-transactions my god.

    This game is so simple, merely reaching the required strength level allows you to demolish anything... To find any challenges, I had to play in a higher power level zone.

    This game is empty, no loot drop nothing, and I've discovered 5 weapons in 35 hours.

    Technically, the game looks decent, but not great, and visually, it's just plain uninteresting. I'm using HDR, and I'm not sure if the game is bugged, but the colors are occasionally very flat.

    Since Unity, I haven't really like any ac, but this one was quite interesting. I adore the Vikings, their history, mythology, and gods, but I doubt I would have played as long if I hadn't already learned about and enjoyed the period. I would have definitely stopped after 5 hours.

    I'd like to talk about how this game handles gods, but it would be a major spoiler, and I'm not a fan.

    If you're a long-time fan of AC, you'll probably dislike it, or if you do, it won't be the greatest for you.

    If you like the new style of ac and odyssey, you'll probably enjoy this one as well. There's less grinding and a level cap, which is a plus.

    This game tries to accomplish a lot of things, but it doesn't do any of them better than any other game. It's just okay, so I'll give it a 5.

    So, while the games is better than Odyssey, being better than awful does not make you good. I've played every single Assassin's Creed game, and each one has done something that has stayed with me. The music, gameplay, story, writing, and so on. After 25 hours, Valhalla had done nothing to amaze me, no times where I stayed and thought, 'Wow, this is fantastic.'

    It doesn't do anything differently from any other action game. And it certainly does not outperform the most well-known RPG on the market.

    It's a shame because Valhalla has so much potential, and we all know that ubisoft can achieve greatness and has done so in the past.

    But it appears like Ubisoft is simply not trying; they're settling for good enough. They're overly concentrated on developing as many games and microtransactions as possible in order to generate as much money as possible... They're on the wrong track, and I don't want to see the gaming business follow suit.    … Expand

    In short, more from acquaintances AC.

    The game looks beautiful. Fighting is fun and feels great 80% of the time.
    But then comes the typical AC / Ubisoft problem, the quest design. An effort has been made, but it feels irrelevant and repetitive and too long. Each area has its quest line and they are not exciting.

Game is a little bit more RPGish now, but is still has a lot of flaws. I liked how different weapons create different combat feeling, but crafting system in general felt odd. I literally levelled up first random set I found and kept it for the entire game. This is how unnecessary crafting was. I liked the blue mysteries on the map. These unique stories were a great idea to fill the map with content. The number of alliances to form was a madness though. I finished this game a week ago, and I can remember maybe two plots of these regional quests. Halfdan in Donecaestre and maybe crimes of Lunden. I never thought I would ever say, that game can be too big, but Valhalla clearly is. It makes you tired. And repetition kills all the brilliance of it.

    As in Odyssey, buildings and parkour is absolutely shunned in-favor of the combat system. Don't mistake me, combat in the modern games is quite fun, but it's not what should be leaned on in a game about assassination, or at least supposed to be...
    Aside from this, it is a decent game as a modern Lite-RPG Hell-scape. The story and quests are slightly padded but overall does not entirely overstay it's welcome.

    А теперь, наверное, нужно рассказать почему именно 5/10, а не 7 или 8?
    1. Лор и история: если рассматривать игру как некоторое ответвление серии AC - то тут большая беда.. да, есть раскрытие некоторых моментов и связывание данной игры с миром AC, но это лишь в записях и не более. Если говорить про сюжет, то он действительно местами замечателен, при 2м прохождении ты всё больше и больше замечаешь делатей, зная конечно же концовку (особенно это видно в диалогах).
    Но кроме этого на протяжении игры мы видим как меняется Эйвор в лучшую сторону и начинает мыслить иначе (свой взгляд на действия Незримых и т.д.), но зачем же Ubisoft будут это развивать? Конечно же под конец диалогами и действиями ГГ они и это испортят!
    2. Дополнительные задания: всё стало лучше и тут скорее можно поставить "+", чем "-", НО есть 1 но.. все эти задания максимально не серьёзные в отношении мира и выглядят как насмешкой над игрой и миром.
    3. Баги: это то, за что стоит уже пинать Ubisoft.. Вы серьёзно? Как можно давать 10/10 когда который год из-за Ubisfot Connect вылетает игра, т.к. не смогла записать сейв на облако?! Максимально кривые звуки первый месяц; невозможность выполнения некоторых заданий (а в мире они есть); невозможность отключить ну уж очень долгие анимации добивания; - и это всё либо не правят вовсе, либо откладывают в долгий ящик. Зато поправить ОПИСАНИЕ персонажа из-за которого в Twitter кто-то ущемился -> сразу правим..
    4. Дополнения: будем честны, но дополнения максимально слабые. Эти DLC максимально выглядят как выкачивание денег ("привет EA" говорит Ubisoft, постукивая снизу). Если 1е дополнение как-то и можно пережевать, то 2е - это крах. Оно абсолютно не запоминается, в нём нет попросту ничего. Потеряете ли вы что-то если не будете их проходить - НЕТ. Ах да.. забыл сказать, что прохождение DLC занимает всего несколько часов.
    5. Магазин (за реал): тут и добавлять нечего, сразу огромный "-" и можно спокойно забывать про 10/10. В сингл играх не должно быть такого и за такое компании нужно пинать, но почему люди это едят то?! Почему Вы готовы платить свои деревянные за пони, которое ну не ввязывается никак в этот мир???

    И подводя итоги: игра действительно была замечательна вне серии AC (+если убрать донат магазин), можно было бы смело ставить 8-9 из 10.

    Пугает, что Ubisoft скатывается в яму из которой очень тяжело будет выбраться, ей нужна лишь прибыль и прибыль, более ничего. Она готова убить серию игр ради прибыли. И самое печальное - люди это принимают. К сожалению, таким темпом следующая игра действительно может стать игрой-сервисом благодаря нам - игрокам.    … Expand

    I feel as though we don't spend enough time in Scandinavia, which are known to have gorgeous sights in real life. But the version of Scandinavia we get in this game is a harsh, frozen land with a few rundown harbor-towns and empty mountains. There's nothing. And before you know it, you're on a boat headed to England where the majority of the game takes place.

    Raiding outside of their homeland was a huge part of Viking history, but I had hoped that there would be more of a focus on what the Viking life was like back home, when they weren't raiding. England in this game also looks painfully plain compared to the sights of Odyssey and Origin; it's just grass, hills, and trees. Nature is pretty, but I can go outside right now and see these same sights. There's nothing too exciting about it to me.

    I'm a huge fan of all things related to Norse mythology, Vikings, etc. so this has been a bit of a letdown for me so far, compared to the previous titles at least. I hope it will grow on me over time, but so far I've yet to be blown away.    … Expand

    AC Valhalla has very big map and it's very long game, so basically if you don't like long game, there's no point trying this one. But if you do like long games, it's very solid. One of the better AC games imo.

The map is huge, that doesn't mean that it is interesting at all. If the landscape wasn't so well done this game would be boring enough to replace sleep medication. The "collectables" flung across the map in uninteresting locations are an excellent touch to the dull design. The combat system is not garbage but it is not at all good. Enemies can spam all abilities while you are left to kite them around until you get enough stamina to do a single hit then kite them around some more. The stealth is pointless and horribly done for an Assassin's Creed game, there is not corner hiding at all, no ducking under cover but they added gore. The only thing it seems Ubisoft focused on was accessibility features. Menu narration, have no idea why that is a feature, text size, among other frivolous features that really add nothing and seem to have been the studios focus. The story is near non existent, you can just skip the entire thing and kill whoever with no lead up at all. No worth while investigation, no getting to know the citizens of the area and helping them out for the greater good, its so far from what the series used to be it shouldn't even be Assassin's Creed. This game is a monument of a lazy development team that just shovel what ever they can out into their fanbase and hope the mindless masses buy it. The music is good when it plays, that rarely happens, even with the music frequency maxed out. Pure waste of potential with this game. I will update further the more I play it but so far its just meh and inspires no joy.… Expand

    * I would describe the narrative as soulless. I did not care for any character at any point
    * the sheer size of the map and quests is bloated. even then, few things to do outside of main quests feel rewarding
    * most jarring as an AC fan: the world feels less believable than fairly ever. i do not feel like i am in the viking age. i could excuse many small issues in previous titles as i still felt the core was thruthful and i felt in the world. i do not here.
    * the main quest: this is where most of any narrative falls or stands. in this case, well, it is somewhat refreshing not to search for the apple of all damnation. however, the alternative is just bland. invade england, take all. there was so much potential for ethical thoughts that are dear to the AC series. the church is corruptive but keeps order, the vikings are honest but destroy. however, nothing of that gets explored

    Summary:
    The series has strayed far from its core storytelling, but kept it s main user satisfactory gameplay.

    The start is somewhat great, then it goes south. Let alone that it's ahack & slay game, as the 2 previous ones.
    Too much repeating quests, and 16 alliances ... boring as hell after the first few.
    They didn't forget to add good sidequests, they just labeled them mandatory main quests for allies.
    And the end is confusing crap from a damaged brain.

    ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA is a beautiful looking game that suffers from possibly the worst controls in gaming history, the incompatibility of the ASSASSIN'S CREED series and too much excess baggage. Let me explain:
    Firstly the CONTROLS: Eivor (player character can either be male or female) controls like a fully loaded Mack truck hauling 3 equally loaded trailers driven by a drunk. But    ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA is a beautiful looking game that suffers from possibly the worst controls in gaming history, the incompatibility of the ASSASSIN'S CREED series and too much excess baggage. Let me explain:
    Firstly the CONTROLS: Eivor (player character can either be male or female) controls like a fully loaded Mack truck hauling 3 equally loaded trailers driven by a drunk. But somehow we are supposed to believe that s/he can gracefully scale walls the best ninja wouldn't be able to? Combat is clunky and unresponsive, but the worst offender is the climbing mechanic: shift utilizes an UNintelligent system where the AI assumes what you wish to do - which at least in my case was wrong 95% of the time. Trying to climb down something or getting off something has a 90-10 chance of success. The controls are atrocious! Whoever came up with these should be flayed alive. Add the console-friendly menus to the mix and embrace the suck.
    Second issue: IDENTITY CRISIS. The latest ASSASSIN'S CREED games, ORIGINS, ODYSSEY and VALHALLA (probably the preceding ones, too, but I haven't played them) suffer from an identity problem, that is ASSASSIN'S CREED itself. While the original lore of assassins versus Templars draws form the Crusades, the later games' attempt to justify the excursions into Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and per-medieval Viking Age falls flat on its face and is totally unbelievable and outright ridiculous. The ASSASSIN's CREED game mechanics also don't work with the setting itself, a Viking using stealth?! It just doesn't mesh. The last 3 ASSASSIN'S CREED games should not have the AC name and should ditch all AC elements.
    Third: EXCESS BAGGAGE: Ubisoft, drop the present timeline with Layla Hassan and the Animus already!!! It's immersion breaking (a deathblow to any Open World game!), the character is annoying and uninteresting. I always skip her dialogues and hit the Animus as soon as the game lets me, which at the first interruption works relatively fast, but later you need to do some quests. Ditch this, or at least let us decide if we want to have this or not (like the gender selection at the beginning it could be an option). There are also lots of annoying cutscenes that drag on which cannot be skipped and a lot of filler content that is just bloating.
    There are also several bugs (many MANY crashes, synchronization issues with the forced use of the Ubisoft Connect Program), even over half a year after the game's release. At times my long boat would flip over and become unmaneuverable until I quit out and reloaded the game. Couple that with horrendously long load times and you can imagine how much fun that was.
    When the game works properly and you've made it past the annoying cutscenes and Layla sequence and reach England, VALHALLA shines: it is one of the most beautiful looking Open Worlds, hands down. You can get some mileage out of it simply by exploring the vast area. Sailing down the rivers while mist engulfs you is just pure atmosphere and makes you feel like in the movie The 13th Warrior.
    I also like the branching skill tree a lot - not overly complex but not too simple either, which allow different play styles (full out assault, bows or stealth assassinations) or mix them to your heart's content.
    Unfortunately after a while repetition sets in. And grinding. The world is divided in Power Levels (you gain Power Levels by upgrading your gear and weapons and by investing in the skill tree). However some neighboring regions have such a steep rise in Power Level that hours of grinding and collecting ore, ingots and leather becomes mandatory. Many game mechanics that start out to be fun (raids) soon become tedious and repetitive as well. And once you've uncovered the entire map there's little to keep you playing on. The missions are not very varied either, ranging from fetch quests (a lot of them) to assassinations.
    Overall VALHALLA is the best looking AC game with beautiful locations and vistas to behold, but it offers too little innovations to be compelling in the long run - let's face it, Ubisoft has been making the same game over and over and over again with ROGUE, UNITY, SYNDICATE, ORIGINS, ODYSSEY and now with VALHALLA, it just comes with a different paint job. Also Eivor (either gender) is a very bland character compared to ODYSSEY's Kassandra. It's just slightly above average and the fun factor is like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs and unfortunately more downs than ups, especially if you played previous entries in the series.
    Oh, and then there's the overly long load times that don't seem to be justified. Also at each startup of the game you are informed about how this game was created by a team of ultra-woke loons of many genders, faiths and nationalities - yes, the cringe-worthy screen greets you every time you start the game and takes a chunk out of your time as well.    … Expand

Why of course, do several hours of tedious repetitive quests with uninspired, poorly written and horribly voiced side characters over and over and over and over again. You want to take a break and try some side content? Why of course, here are your low-quality low-effort "world events" that will baffle you by their presentation more often than by their actual content.

    And, unlike in Odyssey, this time I'm actually sad about all this. Eivor grew on me immensely in the course of the game, as did the combat system. Raids lost their appeal after about the fifth one I did but still were a welcome distraction from the monotonous story quests. And the world itself is incredible, lush and vibrant in ways not many games can achieve. Too bad, then, that it overstays its welcome for about 10-20 hours (of purely story-related content).

    Ubisoft really need to scale down. Valhalla shows that, if their heart is in the right place and the writers actually care about the story, new AC installments can come very close to the legendary ones like AC2, Black Flag and Unity. But as long as they keep making the games more and more bloated and padded with completely arbitrary fluff, aimed at making you skip the grind by buying things at the store to finally FINALLY progress the damn story, they'll stay in this weird limbo of "ah yes, yet another Assassin's Creed game".    … Expand

That, alone, is just a taste of the frustrations you shall encounter as you adventure across England. Later on in the game, you'll come across barred doors that need to be opened from the inside. You'll do this by destroying what appears to be a wooden beam locking the door from the inside. Simple, right? Not for me! All I hit is the open air and the lock stays in place until I have to pull out my bow. Or, how about the little beeping sound when you are trying to jump off a rock and the game won't let you? And let's talk about that camera with a mind of its own. Try calling your mount, and see what I'm talking about. Oh, and it's a joy when Eivor is telling his crew the STFU every time you come across a raid opportunity. Not to mention how often the longship would get hung up on the environment and I'd have to manually reverse course to continue on my way.

    It's not all annoyances and frustrations. The world is massive and beautiful. The missions are engaging and well written. The voice acting is excellent, and the music is exquisite! I also appreciate how the game encourages exploration.

    So, how would I rate AC: Valhalla over the course of my 100+ hour playtime? 51% fun/49% frustration! Would I recommend this title? Sure, just not at full price. Wait until all the DLC comes out and you can nab the whole package in a future Ubisoft sale or around $50!    … Expand

    Graphics is more realistic but colours are extremely oversaturated with drastic colour changes to the point that turning the camera results in repainting the entire world from green/blue to yellow/red. Also sunlight and beams are so strong to the point the they will hurt your eyes...

    Every action has been slow down and and received some form of inertia, which makes everything feel slow, heavy and clunky, from simple movement, to changing direction, climbing and fighting, everything feels like a chore.
    To perform some simple actions, like looting a big chest, you now have to call for help and wait until a member of your crew arrives, which is very annoying.
    Opening crates and or harvesting is no longer possible, you have to smash the containers or the mineral nodes, wait for them to be destroyed, wait for the loot to pop up and finally spam the loot button cause you can no longer grab everything nearby with a single action...also hitting a container is a freaking lottery because the aim is completely messed up and your character constantly misses the object that is right in front of him.

    Combat has lost its flow, it's no longer fast paced and has gained a useless stamina bar, also you can no longer craft arrows for whatever reason...!?
    The game constantly take away the control of the camera from you, which could be fine for console but it's extremely annoying for PC; for instance every time you run and call your horse, the camera automatically rotates and show you the freaking ground forcing you to stop and wait for the horse to arrive...and if you try to fix the camera, it automatically turns back in the wrong position...

    The map is a mess, icons that showed locations are now tiny white and yellow lights that you can barely see because the map is also white...genius...

    Exploration is a pain in the ass, every freaking door is barred and you need to find an alternative hidden entrance or you have to find a oil jar to blow a barricade away, too bad the stupid jar is always hundreds of meters away, turning the whole process into an annoying treasure hunt chore.

    Some of the sound effects are very loud and annoying, also some triggers are completely wrong and as you explore you constantly trigger the same sound over and over.

    Music is not as good as in Odyssey, but it's ok.
    Voice acting is great.    … Expand

But it's all overshadowed by the cover-your-eyes awful combat.

    It's hard to understand why, but the developers deliberately made the combat mechanics less precise. Perhaps some focus group feedback though Odyssey was too difficult? The parry timing window is now so huge that one may accidentally parry the wrong attack, and parrying itself is no longer necessary to win encounters. Also gone is the combo system from Odyssey, where Kassandra's next light/heavy attack would vary based on where it was in a five attack "combo" sequence. I can only assume this was a botched effort to make the combat easier for "casual" players, but the end result is to turn the combat into button mashing.

    Ubisoft also puzzlingly expanded the skill tree and the number of points invested in it. The tree itself is now so huge that you have to scroll and zoom to see it all, like a google maps layout. This means that when you "level up," you can no longer see and feel an instant power difference, as you could in Odyssey. I assume this was to eliminate the "grind" in Odyssey, but a grind is only as boring as the content you're grinding through.

    Naval battles, that gem from Black Flag that was partially resurrected in Odyssey, is gone again too.
    As for non-combat world interaction, it's so clunky and awful that it feels like something from the PS1 or N64 era. It's a huge step back even from the foundational games of the series. For example, in 2009's Assassin's Creed II, when player-character Ezio walks through a crowd, he twists his body and puts his hands on people's shoulders to move them out of the way. In Valhalla, Eivor either walks through them like they're ghosts or gets stopped dead still like they're a brick wall.

    I would add that neither the male for female voice actresses can stand-up to Melissanthi Mahut's portrayal of Kassandra, but that's really an unfair standard. Mahut's performance was one of the best in the history of gaming, comparable with Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard, Mass Effect), Yuri Lowenthal (Peter Parker, Marvel's Spider-Man), and Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2).

    I spent $100 on the deluxe edition without hesitation as a result of the goodwill Ubisoft earned with Odyssey, which was one of the best games of 2018. Valhalla wasn't worth it, and I regret the purchase.    … Expand

I just wish there was more choices of sets compared to odyssey where you could have 30+ entirely unique outfits. Onto the story of Valhalla: it’s not good. You have essentially no choice in various outcomes that Ubisoft makes you think matter. The entire arc as a whole is just so unbelievably dry and devoid of flavor. The romance options feel very forced, and like I said, in many cases no matter what decisions you make the game already has a predetermined outcome. I wanted to love this game, Origins was just a glimpse into the masterpiece that was Odyssey, and I hoped Valhalla would go even further, but it didn’t. It’s worth picking up if it goes on sale, but at full price and compared to previous iterations it’s not that great of a game.… Expand

By the end of the game, I found myself just wanting it to be over, as if playing the game had been a full-time job and the slog finally came to an end. Overall, Valhalla was an ambitious game, but it's poorly paced and filled so full of repetitive fluff, and so anti-climatic in it's story moments, that I enjoyed only a small portion of the 90 hours I played.

    I'll start with the good: The world of AC Valhalla is absolutely beautiful, with plenty to explore. The world is filled with diverse biomes, with terrain ranging from open fields to mountainous landscapes. This world is filled with short "world events" that, honestly, were my favorite part of the game. As mini-sidequests, they had a much lighter and more playful tone than the story, and many of them were actually hilarious. I think the best writing in the game can be found in these world events, and I always looked forward to reaching and experiencing every single one.

    Starting to get into what I didn't like: The world is also filled with an encumbering amount of collectibles, that are often hidden behind the same generic puzzle (sometimes even the exact same), to the point where solving and collecting the item just becomes tedious. To make matters worse, you can't see what the collectible is before getting near it, so trying to actually grab any meaningful wealth items or collectibles feels almost like a lootbox with little pay-off, with their sole purpose to just take up your time.

    I felt that way throughout the game, even with the main story. That so much of Valhalla just existed to drag out my experience, and force me to commit as many hours as possible in the illusion of it being a "massive" game. Truly, I felt like most of the game was just filler, with key story moments being rushed over and anticlimactic, while random arcs that very well should've been optional were forced on me and got more screentime than what should've been dramatic and critical plot moments. Similarly, the pacing of the story was awful, it felt like every time I started getting interesting in the main story, it would throw more (not optional) filler at me until I lost interest again. By the end, I had put 90 hours in Valhalla, but probably only actually enjoyed about 10 of those hours.

    Don't get me wrong - some of the story is great, especially toward the end, but those moments are so few and far between that it's hard to appreciate them at all (especially when the whole main story arc is so tonally inconsistent, and constantly feels like it alternates between comedy and drama).

    Though I don't usually complain too much about bugs, I did hit a few progression-blockers that really annoyed me. I can't even get to the game's epilogue now after finishing everything in the world, and a specific sidequest remains blocked by a known-issue that I'm just hoping will be fixed in a future update. Also, the bow (my favorite weapon in the game) has a quiver bug that results in me always having a lower arrow capacity I should, which was pretty annoying.

    I loved AC Odyssey and it's world, and to-date, I think it's still my Assassins Creed game. Maybe the Viking setting just didn't interest me enough, or maybe story just wasn't the priority for this game, but if there was anything I could change, I'd wish for a more condensed version of Valhalla that focuses on what it does best, and eliminates the mediocre filler.    … Expand

You basically find it nowhere; bosses dont drop any and the world is so empty i wish you good luck at finding it yourself. Also it seems like every character is based on the facial motion tracking of Mark Zuckerberg thats how much emotions there are in their facial expressions. But all that was not a killer for me. What made this game so boring I stopped playing it after 23h was the fighting system. It is so dynamic and thrilling you could almost mistaken it for minecrafts fighting system. Fighting felt like chopping wood. Always. the. same. movements. I didnt believe the critics because i thought it cant be that bad and till now i enjoyed every single AC game.

Now with that out the way I enjoyed my time with the game but I think the biggest problem with it for me was the length of it all. At first the story is pretty dang good. I loved going to parts of England and making alliances with all these different people but after maybe 20 hours I began to become tired of it and started realizing that there was a pattern to it.

    1. You go to the region hoping to make an alliance only to realize that there is a problem that needs to be solved before you could make one
    2. You help the fellow people solve their issue (usually ending with an attack on a fort of some sort)
    3. You finally get your alliance and (usually) never see these people again

    I honestly wouldn't have a problem with these style of gameplay if it hadn't been for the fact that these alliances get in the way of the main story. In some cases the main story would come back into the game and this crazy event will take place leaving you on the edge of your seat wondering what is coming next only to realize that in order to get to the next part of the story you have to play through another 10 hrs of alliances. I enjoyed my time with AC Valhalla but near the end it felt like I was just going through the missions hoping that the next alliance I did either got me to the next part of the main story or got me to the ending of the game    … Expand

    Valhalla suffers from Ubisoft trying to fuse together old style AC games with the RPG focus of the last two, Origins and Odyssey.

With game mechanics such as blending in with crowds, sitting down on benches, and luring drunks, it's clear Ubisoft is trying to make all sides happy with old school AC and RPG. Unfortunately, this is what brings it down. Ubisoft also limited gear, to the point where you have little to look forward to. As a reward for almost everything in the game, you get skill points. You get so many skill points, you are able to fill out the different skill trees half way through the game and become godlike. I bumped all of the game difficulty options to max, and it was still too easy. Add to that, Enemies almost always present themselves in an area with their backs facing you and never moving, almost as if saying, "please assassinate me."

    Zealots- Valhalla's version of mercenaries- just roam in a circle in their respective zone. They never hunt you, even though early in the game you're told they will come after you. The fights are very souls-like, which I would be ok with if given a reward but in most cases, you guest it- more skill points. Later in the game you may actually get some runes, but you will get so many of these and you are so overpowered you won't care.

    The Story is pretty good, and probably one of the highlights. There's no side quests really- instead a bunch of world events scattered throughout the game. A lot of these are actually entertaining. Most are pretty funny. Unfortunately, all you are ever rewarded with are.... more skill points. So after doing a few, there's really no draw to partake in these.

    Combat is much better in Valhalla- you can't just spam abilities and the Stamina bar encourages you to time your moves and abilities just right. I kind of like this- it provides a challenge. Timing your blocks, parry, and hits feels rewarding. Unfortunately, Ubisoft was lazy with the abilities, which are broken down in to ranged and melee. You find books to open up these abilities which is fine- but it's not long before you realize that a lot of abilities are just pointless, and some abilities do the exact same thing for ranged and melee. There's an axe throwing ability which does the same ranged as it does in melee. You also get a skill for poison and fire separate for ranged and melee. Why?

    The Settlement portion was a neat idea, but again very lackluster. I read several interviews where this was supposed to make you care about your settelment inhabitants by improving their respective shelter. What I found was, the only one that mattered was the trading post, the blacksmith, and the hunting lodge. The rest seemed pointless. After upgrading a building, you might get a quest from who lives there, but it's one and done. The barracks is probably the most disappointing- it allows you to customize your own viking guard to go on your boat, but it's pointless. It behaves no different going on raids than the ones already on your boat. You can hire custom made Vikings throughout the game from other players, but again pointless- they do nothing more than the ones already provided.

    Speaking of raids, this seems great at first. But they become boring when you realize there's no urgency. It tries to make it feel like you need to get in, pillage, and get out. But you can actually take your time trying to figure out the never ending "every building requires a puzzle to solve to get in (ugh)." To improve, there should be a limited time until some sort of reinforcements arrive and you are forced to retreat with what you have. Ubisoft should also make it to where your viking crew can die, making custom made viking units a little more valuable.

    The graphics are of course amazing. Playing on an i7 9700k 2070 super setup at 1440P, everything looks great, particularly distant landscapes. There are a few annoying spots in large settlements where FPS drops- and it's frustrating that Ubisoft hasn't figured this out yet.

    I must have replayed Odyssey a dozen times so far. I don't think I will replay Valhalla much because there's not much to bring me back.    … Expand

    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.
