    I have ps4 version, ps5 version and pc version, so i tested all of them after latest patch and pc version runs better imo. Absolutely no lag or framedrops.

    It's so obvious that whoever gives this anything below 7, has absolutely never (specially last 7 years) cared about Assassin's Creed games. I don't even wanna know what kind of overhyped trash these people play. AC Valhalla is one of the best AC games ever.

    I would say so far it feels like one of the best Assassin's Creed games, maybe close second to Black Flag from modern era.

    I'm someone who really thinks deeply what games to spend my time on and what not. So far been playing Valhalla about 20 hours and i can already tell that i'm easily going to 100's. Very addicting and beautiful graphics too.

    I get serious Black Flag vibes, even tho i liked Unity too (i don't care about rough launch, they fixed it). Very good, hopefully DLC's are equally good.

    Ubisoft somehow managed to make really good game in like 2 years, nice. Far Cry 5 had nice graphics, but story was meh and Odyssey was cool at first but overall it was meh. I don't even wanna mention last year's Ubisoft games. Valhalla turns the tables. Hopefully Far Cry 6 continues this trend and they actually stay good, how nice would that be.

    I preordering it in June i think, i was 50/50 at first, but i was like "whatever", because setting was very promising. I had high hopes, but didn't want to over-hype it either. now been playing it 10 days or so and it's so good.

    30 hours in and i'm very confused what "before you buy" was talking about. Maybe he really is just tired of these games and that's fine, but this one is million times better than Odyssey and very good AC game. So yeah, maybe i should trust myself more than watch some youtube videos.

    To be completely honest, it's one of three games (other two are doom eternal and final fantasy 7 remake) i have truly enjoyed in 2020 and even at that, it might take top spot.

It's one of the better Assassin's Creed games ever and if you don't like it, go play your avengers. Keep your hands off this awesomeness, if you give it 0 or 1 out of 10, you clearly don't deserve to play games like this anyway.

    Loved the game for the first 30-40 hours even though this is probably the most buggy singleplayer game I have ever played. The combat is so underwhelming and the sound design is AWFUL. The story delivery (character expressions and voice acting) and the cinematic experience is the typical ubisoft mediocrity. It had a few good moments but they were far too rare. But I still had a great time exploring the world and farming resources. But the moment I got tired of exploring, is the moment where the game started to drag and become annoying.

    Some Story arcs were really good. But most of the later arcs felt so unnecessary and fillerish. The story could have moved on to the Sigurd arc without any of these later arcs. It felt like an actual chore to play-through the story in the 2nd half.

    Also the ending felt so lacking that I didn't even realize that it was supposed to be the end.

    The game has a really good OST but it is so under-used and miss-used. Story raid music for example where Einar selvik's osts start to play are so good but they are added so quietly that you can barely hear them in the raid.

    I just wish the story would have been only half as long. That would have made the game a much better experience.

    Even if this game’s only problems were just with the story and game play (new combat is dumbed down), this would be an average game. Of course, that is not the case. The PC port is, in typical Ubisoft fashion, terrible. You really should not expect competence after such a well-documented history of anything but. I will not bother knocking the technical problems because it is your own damn fault if you expect better.    … Expand

    Story is surprisingly good, it almost sucks to bring it out like some BIG thing, but Odyssey's story was too "all over the place" and boring, at least to me. It had way too much pointless filler. Valhalla actually innovates a lot and feels more like Black Flag and Unity in 2020.

    Better "no non-optimisation" than their other game WD: Legion.

    For real, 2020 is not a good year. Odyssey was better in all aspects. Game feels emptier. It generally feels like less story/quests, more areas to search like a Dyson vacuum.

    Skill tree is ok. The thing that doesnt make sense is revealing it progressively. Just show it so that I know where I want to go.

The new quest structure and side activities are diverse and unique even though sometimes odd. The misteries are captivating like Stonehenge. The fighting mechanics is far more enjoyable and I'm especially happy about finishing moves being reintroduced. The story is really mind-fetching and the male Eivor is a really sympathetic character especially his voice is rather likeable. All in all Valhalla manages to be sufficiently different from Odyssey and origins to be seen on an other level as a utterly different game.

    From Norway to England to North America and more to come in future, this game is truly beautiful and brutal experience.

    Pros:
    East England is adorable
    Finally Vikings with some nuances
    The main story is really well told
    Improved loot system

    Cons:
    Bugs - Some even game-breaking, quests that don´t appear. Still not fixed 15 days after launch
    The combat - It´s less precise, has less weight to it and is not as fluid compared to Odyssey
    Conversation choices lack impact

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just want to say. That I love Norse mythology. I literally tutored kids about it( and Greek Mythology)

    I loved Odyssey ( it got me back playing AC after Black Flag) so when I saw that is one was about the Norse gods and Vikings; I was so excited. I pre-ordered the game (120.00 dollars) which Is something I rarely do.

    I have played it for over 60 hours. I only play maybe an hour or 2 at a time, because I honestly get so bored and tired of it, that I have to quit.

    I am bored as hell with it. I regret pre-ordering it. I wouldn’t even play 60 dollars for this game.

    I am literally forcing myself to play, ( and finish) because of the money I spent on it.

    I hate that there is almost no loot. ( I love loot). Yes I explored. I got all the main loot( I looked it up online to make sure I didn’t miss any), and it still isn’t enough.

    I hate that they took almost all the “sidequests” out of the game. What they call sidequests are too short( most are a 2 minutes or less) and most are forgettable. The exploring was boring. I have most of the map cleared now, and it wasn’t worth it, honestly. I liked some mystery events ( I refuse to call them side quests). Like the old man at the edge of the cliff. He was funny. I liked the wolf one. I like the “Have seen this man” one. But the exploring and the events are forgettable.

    I hate the longships “ customization”. I can’t choose my raiders or put a theme to it.( I like being able to choose all Artemis Daughters on Odyssey)

    The climbing is horrible. I have glitched over 30 times and had to shut down the game with task manager, also I can’t drop down half the time. Plus half the time the character does something I didn’t want. Like diving down when I want to climb up. Or jumping the wrong way. Overall it’s clunky and not smooth. I even get stuck/frozen just from running sometimes. The combat is not great. They changed the buttons and it doesn’t feel smooth. I do like the double axe throw and the valkyrie skill.

    The audio is awful. Between the muffle voices and interrupting and overlapping voices. It’s not great.

    The skills tree is not great either. I miss all my cool abilities ( that I can choose).

    Also the raven is not as helpful as the other eagle. I can’t even tag targets. I do not have great eye-sight and eagle was better at helping.

    The drinking game is cool, but when It starts to get blurry and dizzy it hurts my eyes and I can’t finish the drinking game. ( Their should be an option to turn that part off)

    Almost all of the characters are forgettable and have no heart, soul or personality.

    Plus all the Bugs( including both annoying ones and game breaking) , but that’s in all games, unfortunately.

    Odyssey did the loot, ships and even the sidequests ( the main ones, not the message boards) better.

    Overall, once I force myself in to finish this game. I will NOT be replaying it. ( I replay most games at least 3 times)

    I’m am happy that some people like/love it though. Its just not for me.


    I also to want say I played since 2 until Black Flag, and then I started playing again in Odyssey. So I have played the earlier games.    … Expand

    I have two versions, PS4Pro version and PC version. PC version is obviously best, but runs well on PS4Pro as well. Can't comment on base consoles tho.

    Assassin's Creed games is basically closest we will ever get to actual time travel. Visiting these old cities and locations is just amazing. Of course it's still fiction, but so is Red Dead Redemption and that's fine. Still close enough.

    I wonder why, out of all games, Assassin's Creed always gets hit by bots created by losers who have no life. Is it really because it's so extremely popular video game series? I mean it must be. Stuff like Tony Hawk remake or Mafia Remake people hardly care to leave comments, but AC? That's like most commented game every time it come out. Okay i get that Odyssey was meh and even then itI wonder why, out of all games, Assassin's Creed always gets hit by bots created by losers who have no life.

This game is huge comeback for Ubisoft, one of the better Assassin's Creed games ever made. It must be that either one person who hates Assassin's Creed for whatever stupid reasons he has, created about 100 fake accounts, that would explain it. There's also this other thing....it's 2020 after all. Oh well. Great game anyway, no matter how many 0's it gets, it wont change that fact.… Expand

    Makes me wonder why they even did Odyssey like they did. It clearly didn't work. I'm not saying it was bad game, it had some good stuff too, but overall Valhalla stands out as superior in basically ever way. AC is finally back!

    Out of Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla -Valhalla is easily best one. Bringing back old elements, deleting ones that were never needed. Very enjoyable AC game.

    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]
