    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. However, the game's size becomes a hindrance, resulting in both the main story and side stories feeling as insignificant as you towards the person you like.

    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.

    After completing the base game, playing the DLCs of Assassin's Creed Valhalla hasn't been very exciting for me. The base game didn't provide a proper conclusion to our main character's story, and I was looking forward to wrapping it up. However, the current gameplay isn't really holding my interest.

    Very average Witcher and Dark Souls wannabe. 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.

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.

    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...

    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.

    Total: 7+

    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.

    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 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.

    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."

The setting in Norse Viking age is cool, but the side quests are non existent (i mean it) the whole plot in norse mythology is boring as hell.

Esos puzzles asquerosos, mal programados y frustrantes me han hecho tener que rebajar la nota de este, por lo demás, magnifico juego.

    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.

    Мои главные три фу: 1.Отсутствие изменений и нововведений и даунгрейд механик. Казалось бы игра должна эволюционировать, но нет. Я не понимаю как в третьей игре серии анимации и графика может быть ХУЖЕ ЧЕМ В ORIGINS. При том что игра весит 155 гигабайт. 155!! RDR 2 весит 119, и там сравнивать просто не с чем. Valhalla на фоне RDR2, на фоне даже их же игры Far Cry 5, выглядит просто как дешевая халтура. 2. Сценарная импотенция. Думаю не надо объяснять, что тема с анимусом уже просто, от нее реально тошнит от одного голоса этого пустого персонажа Лейлы, линия в современном мире которая никого абсолютно не интересует. 3. 3. Собственно геймплей. Уже сказано было, не знаю как можно было так обгадить боевую систему. Абсолютно плоский, тупейший слешер с корявыми анимациями, хотя добивания действительно неплохие, так и сделали бы битвы как в For Honor которые базируются на добиваниях! Но нет. Мы ничего не хотим менять. Мы хотим высерать каждый год по ассасинс криду и накручивать себе лайки на метакритике. Полное разочарование

    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.

    W porównaniu do poprzedniej części: nieco mniej przyjemna rozgrywka, ładniejsza grafika, brudniejszy klimat, bardziej nużące i powtarzalne czynności, głupsza fabuła.

    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.

    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.

    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]
