    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.

    Miles better than Odyssey in terms of story-telling and characters. An enjoyable experience even though it gets repetitive.

    I was actually blown away by this game. For such a vast world, there's so much to do.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

While i like deserts and color scheme of Origins a lot, it can get kind of boring after a while. But in Valhalla, there's so much variety. 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

Ubisoft games on Metacritic have usually always very low scores and usually very few votes.

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

    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]
