    Best Ac game since Black Flag. Incredible open world, actually two of them, because Norway and England are on separated maps. So much to discover, story is really enjoyable so far, voice acting for main character is perfect. Can't believe they will add Ireland later as well, not like it's huge world already, but i'm not complaining. More of this Ubisoft, more of this.

    This game is one of the better comebacks i have seen in years. Odyssey had the graphics, but story was weak and voice acting was meh. This one has everything and more. Voice acting is perfect, music is just amazing, i could literally hours meditate for that main menu theme. Graphically it takes things further than ever. Some locations look just amazing. Performance is actually pretty good,This game is one of the better comebacks i have seen in years. Odyssey had the graphics, but story was weak and voice acting was meh.

Some locations look just amazing. Performance is actually pretty good, it's obvious that it wont have best ever performance on 2013 consoles, but it still very much playable and on PC it's good enough to get 60-70fps if you have up to date graphics card. Ubisoft is obviously going to patch it to get performance even better. Highly recommending this one.… Expand

    I have bought so many games this year, mostly because there was nothing to do thanks to quarantine. I bought Tony Hawk 1+2 remake, i bought Ghost of Tsushima, i bought 2018 spider-man (it's amazing btw), i refused to buy last of us 2 because how they lied to their fans, that was disgusting. But overall of all these games i have bought this year, i have enjoyed AC Valhalla most.

    Best Ubisoft game they have made in 4 years, truly impressive stuff. To whoever says that
    it's boring, i'm sure you will find your fun in Marvel's Avengers, leave good games to people who actually know how to enjoy them. This is literally perfect game to spend my time on until Cyberpunk comes out.

    AC Valhalla almost feels like "Thank You" letter from Ubisoft to all their fans that have supported them past 7 years. It's truly amazing game and there's nothing more that pisses me off than these absolute nolife losers who give zeros without even caring about this series or buying it. I wish all the worst in your lives.

    Really surprised Ubisoft managed to make this. I mean they have had hits before, but after 2019 flop i kinda lost hope, seems i was too quick to judge. AC Valhalla is at least 100 hour game with tons of good content, locations, enemies etc. Story is also surprisingly good, specially if compared to Odyssey.

    Why Metacritic allows reviews with zero scores from people who clearly don't even have this game, makes absolutely no sense. But whatever i guess. This game is amazing anyway. I would give 9, but now i'm forced to give 10 to get this score to where it needs to be.

    No.1 of Assassin's Creed Games
    Open World same level to compare with TESV: Skyrim and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
    Great Cinematic Game and Great Story Teller
    Most Brutal Blood & Gore perfect match for Vikings Theme

    Still BUGs but no problem, I love this game!

    This game is much way better than Assassins Creed Odyssey and have much more fun stuff and some old mechanics from past AC games.
    Less trash things on the map, better graphics. But still have some bugs that have to be patched.
    Now waiting for season pass and siege of Paris.
    Don't listen to haters who underestimate the game.

Or maybe he is just tired of these huge game-worlds, i guess that happens when you start taking gaming as a job, instead of fun hobby. This one has million times more interesting content than Miles Morales, so i guess if someone just wants games to be quickly over, then Miles Morales is better choice. I personally love long games that have tons of content, so i would very much recommend Valhalla. To each their own i guess.… Expand

    I think this is the best the AC-RPG combination could offers in term of gameplay and plot-wise. The combat feel more grounded now and while for most of the time it still feel very easy there are some occasion where it requires patience and precision. The enemies are less spongy and there are more variations than just the classic warrior-archer archetype.

The enemies are less spongy and there are more variations than just the classic warrior-archer archetype. But, I gotta say the strong point for Valhalla, aside the combat and hidden blade return, is the story but it takes a while for it to come together, so I understand why some people feel bored and I don't blame them this is something that Ubisoft has to work on for the next installment. If you're a long-time fan and despise the new RPG style I won't recommend this game but I do encourage you to check the first civilization, Aelfred and modern setting story!

    It's really good game, if you actually wanna enjoy it, not rush it, so you could play next big game faster. Assassin's Creed games are meant to be played for months NOT few days. I bet penguinz gives it 4.5, because not enough action and too much sailing.

    Not only one of the best games of 2020, it's one of the best Assassin's Creed games, better than last two. Thankfully it already sold extremely well, almost double the amount what Odyssey did. So despite some bitter youtubers who are trying to do absolutely everything to cancel this games, it's doing very well.

    Some people seem to be disappointed that it doesn't have stuff happening all the time, everywhere you look and call it "boring" for that.

    It was never meant to be grand theft auto or dark souls. Never. Just cause it's not your flashy anime type game and you don't get it, doesn't mean it's boring.    … Expand

    Penguinz is almost like anime villain, because you know when he gives low score to games he don't like or understand (he has never liked AC games) then his minions will give 0's to that game without even trying it. He also looks like anime villain, so it actually makes perfect sense. Valhalla is good by the way, so much better than Odyssey.

    My experience -
    Positives: 1. Norway is well designed
    2. England map design is even better 3. More than enough secrets / mysteries 4. Story is fun enough 5. Main character's voice acting is one of the best in AC series 6. Combat is fun, specially with abilities, without it's just fine 7. So many towers / houses / places to climb, parkour is million times better than in odyssey 8. I    My experience -

    9. Variety of different enemies.
    10. Stunning graphics, landscapes, cities.
    Negatives:
    1. Like usual with Ubisoft games, performance could be better, but this
    launch is about 300 times better than RDR2 PC version launch (and Rockstar had whole years for that).
    2. Some bugs as expected with huge open world games, but nothing awful.
    3. Is it just me or water seems kinda empty? Maybe i just haven't explored enough idk, i was expecting giant squids, Odyssey had whales, so why not.

    I think biggest problem with Assassin's Creed games is that some people have absolutely no clue what kind of games these are.

Assassin's Creed has millions of fans around the world and AC Valhalla had one of the biggest Ubisoft game launches EVER. And while many who like this game keep playing it and never really visit sites like this, metacritic attracts haters who very often don't even have particular game, just to give low scores, because it's so easy here. Any, absolutely any loser can make metacritic account with 3 minutes and give 0 score and that will affect overall score, it shouldn't be like that, but it is. For example yesterday one person made over 8 accounts in 20 minutes and gave 0's to this game, because his version was censored or whatever. His comments and scores are still on this site, that's how easy it is to manipulate that user score.… Expand

    Here's a 10 to counter fake reviews, most of them make absolutely no sense with their typical "ubisoft sucks, blah blah blah". So far this one is one of the top AC games. In fact everyone should give 10 to this game, even if you think it's 8 or 9, because there's just way too many losers who don't even own this game and they just give 0 scores. It's very important to fight back against this.

    Surprisingly good Assassin's Creed game, not only better than Odyssey, but it's just so much better. But it's pretty obvious that tons of people don't understand the appeal of Snowy Norway or Beautiful England and just call it boring. That's a shame, but whatever. To me 5 hours long Spiderman Miles Morales is boring, so to each their own i guess.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla has two big maps for exploring, sailing with your boat on rivers, nice story, good voice acting and decent combat. To me it's one of the best of 2020.

    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]
