    No innovation, as boring as always.I hope Ubisoft can make a different Assassin’s Creed. It’s about the same every year.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is Best Video Game Ubisoft has released in 3 years, not only that. It's also one of the Best Assassin's Creed games ever made. There's no need for spoilers or long review, i think that should say it all.

    Extremely fun and beautiful looking game, literally perfect game to play until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out, but i would play it anyway, because i'm huge AC fan.

    How can anyone give this amazing, beautiful Assassin's Creed game 0/10?? It's one of the best in the series, so whoever gives it 0 is clearly not a fan and never has been. I bet these people are just envy that this game gets attention. How tasteless and pathetic someone needs to be to give some good game 0/10 just because they are envy? Well now i'm angry, here's my 10/10, take that.

    Good job Ubisoft, hopefully there will be some patches more, but it's already very good! Hopefully Far Cry 6 continues this trend of good Ubisoft games.

    Buggy mess, quest breaking bugs everywhere.
    They finally patch the game then the very next quest it bugs up again.
    No answer from Ubisoft.
    Avoid like the plague.

    Leading up to release, the noise around Valhalla did manage to hype me up. And it didn't disappoint... at least that's what I thought at the beginning. And, from my own experience, it seems to be a pattern throughout all of the AC games: they start out strong and slowly fade away towards the end once all of the routines settle in.

    The story is alright, but nothing too exciting. Usual
    Leading up to release, the noise around Valhalla did manage to hype me up. And it didn't disappoint... at least that's what I thought at the beginning. And, from my own experience, it seems to be a pattern throughout all of the AC games: they start out strong and slowly fade away towards the end once all of the routines settle in.

    The story is alright, but nothing too exciting. Usual Ubisoft problems there: boring dialogues and poor animation. World events it's the only breath of fresh air in this entry. Most of them seem fun and interesting, although they lack in depth and duration. I've stumbled upon a few quest-breaking bugs with World Events as well.

    Speaking of bugs, there's quite a few. Although sometimes it's difficult to say whether something is a bug or it's a poor game design. Abilities require some serious rebalancing, I ended up using only one ability (the one with the harpoon) as it was dealing much more damage than all the other ones. Skill tree was rather annoying with all the sub-nodes to unlock, as unlocking them didn't add anywhere nearly enough difference to actually notice during gameplay.

    Visually the game looks like Odyssey, in the best-case scenarios that is. But in most cases, it actually looks worse. Very disappointing in that regard.

    And gear and weapons... Oh boy, that was one of the stupidest changes they introduced. The gear system is basically non-existent. I ended up using the first gear set (Berserk) I got at the very beginning of the game throughout the rest of it. Other gear sets had weak buffs and looked much worse next to my upgraded gear. Same with weapons: tons of shields, barely any interesting weapons. I found a badass axe at the beginning of the game and used it for the whole game as I couldn't find anything better.

    Overall experience was very mediocre. The game feels extremely rushed into release and unimaginative. Like with pretty much all of the previous AC games, they could do a much better job if only they invested a decent amount of time into development. 3 years of development is a joke, regardless of how many studios were involved.

    Oh, birds and flames at half the framerate are still there ;)

    Не рекомендую покупать ни эту игру, не прошлую, не следующую, юбисофт слишком сильно прогнулся под бабский каблук и гей активистов, каждая новая игра полное фуфло да еще и с повесточкой. Тут только торенты, да и только лишь для ознакомления и сравнения чтобы в очередной раз убедиться что ведьмака пока что никому не переплюнуть.

Specially main theme, but there's also so many good themes that play while you just free roam. Very well made soundtrack.

    Without a doubt it is the best of the last 3 ACs. however the gameplay is highly repetitive, the open world is overwhelming.

    the best thing about this installment is the world and the environment. but the saga needs a break to reinvent itself for the new generation. PC performance is quite acceptable, although there are some bugs that take you out of the game the map is huge again

    the map is huge again and completing the game will again take a hundred hours.
    sadly the mobility of the character is crude. the combat system is the most difficult and worked of the saga
    the game has more lights than shadows but the saga needs to reinvent itself again, if you have played the previous installments, you will have the feeling that you have already played this one, but the setting will make you continue

Yeah Unity had awful launch, but they pretty much fixed it in first 2 months and i almost hate that people bring it up all the time, because so many games have had absolutely awful launch, but they never get so much whining, maybe it was because AC is so popular idk. Either way Unity has best parkour of the series and graphics that still impress me today. Odyssey was kind of mistake imo, because story was meh and it grindy.

Now, if you are someone who has not really enjoyed any AC games since AC 3, take my advice and i mean it, please just give up this series, it's clearly not for you. I personally absolutely, deeply hate Assassin's Creed 3, i have played it only 1 time and i will absolutely never play it again. It takes you 7 hours to play as actual main character while doing most boring missions possible. Just no. While i have finished Unity, Black Flag and Origins at least 3 times. So there's that. I personally really like Valhalla and it reminds me these three games i mentioned. It's not me trying to hate people who like AC 3, even tho i'm very, very tired of them whining about Desmond's death, but again, if you don't like these new games, just give it up. That's it. But to other millions of fans who have played and enjoyed this series past 7 years i would recommend this! All the classic elements like hood, hidden blade, one shot assassinations are back. They removed all the grind from Odyssey, you get 2 skill-points at the time and it's very easy to get them. Story is interesting, characters are likable, graphics look incredible. That's all i have to say. 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]
