    some players may feel that the game occasionally suffers from some technical issues and bugs. Nevertheless, Assassin's Creed Valhalla still provides an in-depth experience that allows you to explore the history of the Vikings and their role in Anglo-Saxon Britain. If you're a fan of the series or interested in historical adventures, this game is definitely worth checking out.

    I'm tired of Ubisoft because of their stupidity and I'm not waiting for a new game.

    Honestly the 7.5 score it has is the best representation of it. Great fantastical elements dragged down by awful side content and England is just boring to explore. The main questline is quite decent though.

    Sin duda, AC: Valhalla es un muy buen juego. La cantidad de contenido que tiene es simplemente apabullante y mucho de ese contenido es de bastante calidad, incluso muchas de las tramas secundarias y eventos del mundo tienen su historia y su interés.

La cantidad de contenido que tiene es simplemente apabullante y mucho de ese contenido es de bastante calidad, incluso muchas de las tramas secundarias y eventos del mundo tienen su historia y su interés. La historia principal es obviamente la más interesante, y tiene bastante que contar y un protagonista muy bien creado con buenos personajes alrededor. Las mecánicas de juego continúan lo visto en Oddysey y lo desarrollan un poco, pero no demasiado; y si bien hay cosas que se pueden pagar con dinero real, lo cierto es que no son nada necesarias si eres un poco dado a hacer mucho del contenido.

    Gráficamente, el juego está muy bien, con una alta calidad en la ejecución de todos los apartados artísticos. Aunque, personalmente, a nivel de diseño se me hizo un tanto repetitivo, la Inglaterra medieval no tiene una gran variedad de localizaciones ni sitios especialmente impresionantes o chulos, y eso la hace mucho menos atractiva que otros lugares visitados en la saga. A nivel de sonido es muy bueno, especialmente cuando suena la música de Wardruna, pero todo desde las voces a los efectos funciona de maravilla. Eso si, hay que tener en cuenta que tiene una buena cantidad de problemas, desde pequeñas tonterías a salidas a escritorio.

    Por todo ello, sin duda es un buen juego de rol que vale la pena explorar y disfrutar. Un 8.

    En cuanto al DLC de Paris, personalmente me parece flojo en todos los aspectos. No malo, pero tampoco bueno y sin duda no tiene la cantidad de contenido que debería para el precio que tiene. Solo vale la pena si lo encuentras muy rebajado y tienes ganas de un poco más de AC: Valhalla.

    I've never liked the Assassin's Creed series. Starting from the first two. Found them clunky, dull, and repetitive. Things have changed since the first release. Ubisoft has been experimenting with the open-world formula for years. I've played all Far Cry games and can say they never could hit that sweet spot of freedom and scripting.

    It's safe to say they managed to hit it with Valhalla. Not to the extent of Rockstar level, but still much better than any other Ubi title. There is a ton of content and variety. I'm quite impressed to see a such amount for the level of development these games partake. Do not envy the devs. Combat feels mostly right, the story is... well, okay.

    Where it falters largely is the RPG system, or the lack of one. They've tried to mimic one, but there is nothing underneath. It's an illusion of choice buried by a mountain of minor customizations.

    I enjoy this game quite a bit. I would enjoy it far more if it didn't crash so often... and yet will recommend.

    I've really enjoyed it. Gameplay, story, characters...all the things that I didnt like in AC Odyssey (which made me not liking the game that much), they did them great here. The only 'BUT' i could say here is that the game is too long, but that's it, I enjoyed everything else.

Even just map of England, full of different unique looking places and snowy Norway stands on it's own. Odyssey was garbage and Valhalla 100% went in better direction. This is not my favorite type of AC, but i still like it a lot. Music, graphics, main character's voice acting (Male), map design, color scheme, art style- it's all well done. Expand

    I never liked these older games (ac1 till ac3), they are just boring and very outdated compared to stuff like Unity or Black Flag.

Assassin's Creed actually got good starting with Black Flag, everything before it had this nonsense Desmond modern day stuff and awful mission structure. Black Flag and Unity made stuff way better. Valhalla is decent, but lacks lots of stuff that made Unity and Black Flag great. Ironically some people think that Mirage will be like AC1, while it will clearly be more like Unity. I guess nostalgic people have forgotten how outdated combat and parkour was in these earlier games. Unity was huge leap forward in terms of graphics, parkour and combat and that's the game Mirage takes inspiration from. Sure it has similar outfits, like in AC1, but there will be obviously countless of different outfits and outfit colors just like in Unity. But basically, i would say if you are bored, Valhalla is worth playing, but there are better AC games out there and hopefully Mirage brings back golden age. Expand

But i guess that just shows how stupid some gamers truly are. But i can easily point out games that are actually botted on this site, for example anyone who thinks that all these last of us 2 reviews are legit, is a fool. Also Cyberpunk 2077 reviews are fakest thing i have ever seen. There are other examples as well, like Sony exclusives that usually get during the first 2 days massive amount (thousands) of extremely positive reviews, full of insanely bad grammar and nonsensical sentences. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my personal take about these "bots". But this game is nice imo. AC:Mirage (2023) seems to be even better AC game, hopefully they can match or make even better parkour than Unity's. Expand

    I honestly can't help but feel like mystical stuff should be left outside of the AC game, and if they really want to make a game with mystical things, gods and powers, it should be a completely separate game, otherwise, it just breaks the flow, plot immersion, etc.

I couldn't finish fully Odyssey, but here I managed to 100% while still being invested in the world. I think the element of a homestead was great, its fun to keep returning to such a central location. Hopefully this element stays. Next to that, the music was outstanding. The man who sings most of these songs is called Einar Selvik and he has a band Wardruna that is very old-norse inspired. I have been listening to his albums on repeat now for a good time, and its all thanks to AC Valhalla. Very satisfying conclusion, and I am looking forwards for the next one! Expand

    uh-oh, "where are cities, i hate forests blah blah blah". Did you even play previous games? Assassin's Creed 4 had huge map, with lots of locations. Origins was mostly just desert. Odyssey has zero parkour (Valhalla has way more, in comparison at least). Over half of AC 3 map was just forests. There have been so many different kind of locations in AC series over past 10 years, yet some people are acting like Valhalla is first Assassin's Creed ever to have huge map, or have forest areas or whatever else these haters will find issue with.

    Truth is Valhalla does parkour better than both Odyssey and Origins. Has better combination of huge forests and Cities, than AC 3. New York was absolutely pathetic in AC 3, in Valhalla you can climb and parkour way more in London + forest areas/mountains are so much better and have more variation than AC 3. Valhalla does so many similar things, that previous games have done and many of them better than last few games, yet somehow now this series is dying? Get out of here with that nonsense. I shouldn't even mention that it's selling better than Origins or Odyssey, but i will, will mention that just to make these haters even angrier.

    Either way, from now on I REFUSE to consider these Valhalla haters as an actual Assassin's Creed fans, they simply aren't. So basically whenever i meet someone who claims to like AC series, my first question will always be - DO YOU LIKE VALHALLA and if the answer is NO, then i will just walk away. I refuse to interact with these losers for rest of my life. I'm just done!

    These haters seem to be combination of people who actually never even cared for this series and those who only care about AC 1. Either way Black Flag is great, Unity is great, Syndicate is great, Origins is great and Valhalla is great. I don't even care, if Odyssey exists, it's just meaningless grind fest and AC 3 is just awful.

    This game has incredible atmosphere and music. I literally spent over 30 minutes just climbing the walls of London and enjoying the sunset. There are many incredible looking locations in this game. If you go into walking mode, some of the best music pieces of AC series history, start playing.

    I have seen that some are trying to point out, that this game is empty, that's not true at all.

    I have seen that some are trying to point out, that this game is empty, that's not true at all. It has just enough things to explore, but some of the empty areas are very much intentional. Red Dead Redemption 2 was exactly the same way. There are areas that have interesting stuff and then there are areas of just nature, beaches, forests etc. After all it's trying to be realistic presentation of 800s Norway and England. It would be awful, if behind every corner was some monster to fight with or gang of soldiers. That's one of the reasons why Odyssey failed, it had too much unnecessary content and thankfully Valhalla fixes that mistake.

    Story in this game isn't sadly strongest, but it's not bad either. Just somewhere in between. Some missions are very fun, some are very basic and even boring. For example i was way more interested in Black Flag's story. But to look at this game as a complete package, it's still very nice and overall game design/open world design is way better than last two entries.

    I have no idea where AC is going next or what's happening with this series, but if Valhalla happens to be last decent AC, then at least this series ended on positive note.

    At least these 800s Viking Norwegians in this game are very likable, sad that i can't say same about modern Norwegians, but i don't want to assume, i'm sure (hopefully) lots of Norwegians actually like this game and understand how they actually tried to make stuff authentic and while it's not perfect, it's good enough.

    First of all, I am writing this review completely independently of AC Odyssey. Although many people say that Valhalla is very similar to Odyssey, not everyone plays this game as a serial. Maybe Valhalla could be the first AC game they played. However, I will mention the Odyssey part at the end.

    The most striking feature of the game is the art design. Ubisoft has managed to create a world that looks very "beautiful", as it did in Odyssey. I say by suppressing the beautiful part because the game loses its authenticity because of this beauty. Although it is very pleasant to look around, it has an image that can upset some realists. Since I don't have such an obsession, I really enjoyed watching the surroundings. Although I like the snowy parts very much, I could not come across any snowfall in the game. Maybe it's not snowing in the game, but I hope it does. Although I think that the game has very good materials in terms of music, it is appropriate to say that these music were not used very successfully in the game. The game has a really interesting music, but this music does not play until the last mission, for example. While definitely noticing the ineffectiveness of the music in the game, it continued to be incredibly frustrating that the sounds the NPCs made had no meaning whatsoever.

    In terms of gameplay, although Valhalla does not come with very innovative mechanics, it is a game that manages to play itself. There are still three classes in the game, but if you level up enough, you can join all classes. Valhalla, which is much more wild than the previous game, does not miss such animations, but after a while you see them all so much that you wish you could turn them off in the settings. The skills that make the game really fun are very limited compared to Odyssey. So you can't use it as easily as before. In addition, the game is really easy in terms of numerical values. Be sure to play the game by keeping the difficulty high. The biggest shortcomings in terms of gameplay are the endless bugs and control weirdlings that cost me 10 hours of my 70 hours of gameplay. The game really has a hard time understanding what you are trying to do on the keyboard. Considering that one of the main elements of this game is platforming, this interrupts the gameplay sequences. In addition, errors that require you to constantly load your old save may cause you to close the game at any time.

    We wouldn't be wrong if we say that the only part of the game that got better after Odyssey is the story. Although I don't care about the so-called family story of Odyssey, which I can't even take seriously, it is definitely more enjoyable to manage our devoted brother Eivor, who is the 2nd king of the environment he is in, and who nevertheless works harder for his people than the 1st king and supports the 1st king on top of that. There are characters that show how close death is even to the main character, instead of the absurd characters who are resurrected just so that there is no deficiency in the family table, even though we kill like in Odyssey. Although you don't spend much time, the death of these characters definitely leaves something to you. It is also very nice to be asked to account for what you did in the game and to see what you did in the game, although it seems like it was taken from RDR2.

    So why is Valhalla disliked? Because according to Odyssey, there is no real development in the game. If you've buried more than 50 hours in Odyssey, you might question why they made this game. In addition to the fighting mechanics that you did not realize have changed, the castle sieges, which turned into meaningless field battles, were just as ridiculous and you could complete the missions by simply opening the castle doors without killing anyone. In addition, the skills that make Odyssey really fun cannot be used as easily as Odyssey in Valhalla. Definitely do not play this game after Odyssey, make sure to squeeze in a few games. The biggest and most beautiful difference of Valhalla from Odyssey is that the story is more brutal and serious.

    Valhalla is a really good game when evaluated independently of the game before it, but was this game really needed after Odyssey?

Thanks to that exploring in Odyssey was awful, because high level enemies killed you everywhere unless you were high level yourself. That doesn't happen in Valhalla, in Valhalla you can assasinate anyone with one hit and thanks to that explore the whole world without worry of getting killed. Also, i like that Valhalla has better music and more serious tone than Odyssey, Odyssey was too light-hearted and not in a Syndicate way (Syndicate was perfect mix of serious and lighthearted), but Odyssey does it in cringe way. Most dialogue in Odyssey is just bad writing. Valhalla is more serious, more focused and Norway-England is in general more interesting setting than Greece could ever be anyway. Expand

Like what did some of these people expect from Valhalla? To go back to Assassin's Creed Revelations? Are you kidding me? They would NEVER do that. Never. Most people (all the gamers who never cared about Ezio) started to care about AC when 4th one came out. That huge map, pirate theme and 1715 era was actually interesting. I love how none of these Valhalla haters never mention Black Flag, because it would automatically destroy every argument they possible could have. They know that people like Black Flag. Odyssey was a joke and everyone knows that. Valhalla was step in right direction and that direction was never going to be going back to anything that happened before Black Flag. Assassin's Creed is important and popular because of three games, these are - Black Flag (best map and main character), Unity - (best graphics and parkour) and Origins (it was different from previous ones). So yeah, these are the three options Ubisoft has. They will never go back to AC 1 style and you guys know why? Because it wouldn't sell even half that Valhalla did, that's why. AC 1 is outdated and boring and it never that good anyway, so it's literally time to move on. It is very likely they go back to something like Unity / Syndicate, while having some Black Flag elements like you can still have a boat or something. That would be perfect balance, but to go back to AC 1? Never, absolutely never. Expand

Yes it is! Deal with it!

    Now it's solid open-world AC game, but sadly it's not better than Black Flag. I just wish story/mission design was more interesting or unique. Black Flag had all kinds of unique mission designs and also story was better. In Valhalla missions aren't that interesting, but there's still many fun ones. But true star of Valhalla is it's open world and freedom to do whatever you feel like. That's what was missing from AC 1 for me, because these games can simply be so much more than just generic assassination games. AC is not and should not be Hitman. AC should be ALWAYS compared to games like GTA or Red Dead Redemption. You can do so much more in these games than just the basic story stuff and that same logic should apply to AC and most people seem to understand that. It seems to be minority who complains that AC is not so linear anymore. Most people seem to like that freedom and more activities. This open world is there for a reason! Might as well fill that open world with content and that's what Ubisoft did in both Black Flag and Valhalla, even Unity and Syndicate. That is the right direction.

    To say that they make same game every time is biggest nonsense possible. That's something that could be said for Doom or literally every souls game (different location and same idea, you just kill one boss after another and that's about million times more braindead game design than Assassin's Creed could ever be). I'm not even sure what these haters want this series to be, because to me it feels like, they don't care about it anyway. This "SaMe GaMe" argument could be said about every fighting game, forza horizon series (okay actually every racing game ever), Tomb Raider series and so on. I could give countless examples.

    Assassin's Creed is at least interesting in a way that you can roam around in these ancient locations and time periods, to me that's cool. If you don't care about history and just want some mindless sht, then don't play these games. It's that simple. Of course not everything in these games is 100% historically accurate and that's completely fine. It's historical-fiction. Just like Red Dead redemption 2 is not 100% Historically accurate. Rockstar even said that 100% accurate game would make for just boring and depressing experience and i absolutely agree with that. Overall, Valhalla is very solid Assassin's Creed game.

    I believe Ubisoft is big enough and resourceful enough to produce a range of products large enough for a wide audience. That means an individual doesn't necessarily have to play *all* assassin's creed games. That would spare one of burnout and make for a much better experience, such as mine. AC Valhalla came hot off the heels of Odyssey, but I didn't play that one, neither Origins.

AC Valhalla came hot off the heels of Odyssey, but I didn't play that one, neither Origins. I played this one because it is a setting to my liking. The graphics are beautiful, as it is usual of Ubisoft making these 3D lands, and the combat, although being called weak, is good, especially if you play it on the hardest setting. Give this game a chance, it is wonderful. Expand

    I really struggled with the first day of play, coming from a playthrough of AC:Black Flag. The differences in control scheme and the way the world works (parkour, exploration and combat) made me initially wary.

    Since then, I've adjusted, and, well, the fact that I put about a week more into the game since should tell you how much I am enjoying the experience. The graphics are of

    Since then, I've adjusted, and, well, the fact that I put about a week more into the game since should tell you how much I am enjoying the experience.

    The graphics are of course phenomenal and never-before seen, but what really stands out after spending some time going back and forth between Valhalla and older games is that the integration of storylines works much better than for instance in Odyssey or Black Flag - it feels a lot less as if I am checking off boxes or following the same set of random quests, and much more like a natural extension of exploring a gigantic world.

    Incrível qualidade gráfica, cenário impecável, progressão prazerosa, missões secundárias legais, elementos de gameplay que agradam tanto aos fãs antigos da franquia quanto aos fãs da atual trilogia, personagens carismáticos, história envolvente e muitas horas de diversão garantida.

    It's pretty okay Assassin's Creed, nothing great or amazing, but still fun enough. Have to give it 10, because some people think it's really funny to give 0/10 to game they have never played.

    Beautiful open world, huge maps to explore, and very good combat make this one of the best games in the series.
    The battles are more brutal than ever, very bloody, the graphics are story driven, I recommend to all fans of this series.
    One of the best in the Assassins Creed series thanks Ubisoft!

    TLDR: More of the same formula that was established in Origins and Odyssey, with some expanded systems and features, but don't purchase it if you're looking for something entirely different or didn't like the previous two games. Play at your own pace and only play the content that you want to complete, otherwise it can become tedious and a bit of a slog to get through.

Play at your own pace and only play the content that you want to complete, otherwise it can become tedious and a bit of a slog to get through.

    PROS:
    - Very good worldbuilding and sense of exploration that has been a highlight of the series since Origins
    - 9th century Norway and England are fantastic and beautiful
    - Robust combat mechanics (if a little bit more glitchy and rough than Odyssey's more fluid animations)
    - Good weapon (duel wielding) & player customisation (i.e., hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, etc)
    - Decent story and voice acting for most important characters
    - Fun and interesting puzzles off the beaten path
    - Good RPG mechanics for upgrading character's skills (bit hard to navigate the skill tree, though)

    CONS:
    - Too much filler content (completionists will hate playing this game!)
    - Armour sets are a bit dull
    - Some character models and animations aren't as detailed as those in Origins or Odyssey (especially non-important NPCs)
    - No naval combat (if you liked the ship-to-ship battles in Odyssey, then you'll be disappointed)
    - Raiding can be fun, but a bit repetitive at times
    - Settlement upgrade system seemed a bit of a chore to me; didn't really feel invested in it (although it was nice to see how your settlement changed over time)

    Good game. The game world is very rich. The atmosphere, many game mechanics, stories and much more. 100 in 1. It is rather difficult and time-consuming to list all the possibilities at once. Although the previous part about the Odyssey is my favorite, I also really liked Valhalla. An excellent choice for those who like long adventures.

    Better graphics than Elden Ring, that's for sure. Overall this game surprised me, it's not best AC game, but it has more to offer than Odyssey or Origins. Story is not most interesting thing in this game, but open world and exploration makes this game solid. I still wish they would go back to Black Flag/Unity era tho.

    Main story is too long and boring. In Odyssey very short main story, in Origins too, but so much more better than this one. I don't understand why game creators copy Kassandra from Odyssey to this game. It's almost the same character model. Randvi is very good character, but why is copy paste? And some other characters in the game have same hair style like Randvi (from Odyssey's KassandraMain story is too long and boring.

    It's a hell of a cool story when I watched the video, and when I started going through the game myself, I saw even better than everything stunningly gorgeous in the game and an amazingly big story like the big Valhalla game itself. This is one of the best Viking editions and an amazing story! I am very glad that I have officially purchased this edition!

    Haven't finished it yet, but i can say i have had so much more fun with this, than i did with Odyssey and Origins combined. Valhalla finally feels like actual AC game. Specially after they added Assassin outfits. There used to be some bugs, but most of them are fixed by now. Great game 100 more time piayers!

    My first AC in years since the first one. I gotta say I'm impressed. The storyline that aboards begin pretty interesting, also sometimes the game feels like another game when visiting unique places, taking apart of the viking to a next level. I'll would give the game a nine if wasn't because the combat it's not very well polish but I do enjoy it yet so... Ubisoft finally is raising again.

    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]
