I have hit numerous game breaking bugs in this game. There are certain quests that have been bugged since release that Ubisoft STILL has not fixed, but they keep pushing updates to sell cosmetics. This was my most frustrating gaming experience ever, after sinking a considerable amount of time in this game I simply cannot progress, and Ubisoft refuses to refund or fix their game. It's a shame, because at it's core it is very fun, but in it's current state I absolutely cannot recommend it.… Expand

    Для меня, как фаната серии, все последние части из серьёзной игры про убийцу со всеми составляющими, каноничными составляющими, превратились в недорпг с игрушечной боёвкой, бесконечными микротранзакциями, влияющими на прогресс и с просто отвратной лицевой анимацией. В общем словил кринж, как говориться.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played through this game twice, including dlc, so well over 150 hours, and it was torture, you have no connection with the characters at all, you don't care if they live or die, or actually in the case of Sigurd( sp.) I wanted him dead. The game is so boring and repetitive, and pointless. I really tried to like it, but it is an empty shell. I played one hour of Mass Effect which I have played about 100 times and felt so much more invested than 150 hours of AC. I could go on for an hour telling all the things I hated about this game but I won't. Waste of money.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is just my opinion. Your gameplay experience may be totally different.
    Contains spoilers!!!
    I have played the game for 136 hours and have a 384 skill level.
    The first 40 hours of gameplay were captivating and engrossing.
    At 60 hours it became monotonous.
    At 80 hours it was boring.
    I didn’t waste time looting during the last two story arcs as I had already upgraded my gear to mythical.
    When I had control of Basim (“I did it because of my family”) during the last Animus scene I just re-entered the Animus without interacting with any of the environment…I just wanted to end the game. We all know the “tree” has many stories to tell.
    A lot of game resources could have been used to improve the core game if they omitted the immersion breaking Animus (current day) gameplay and data nodes.
    Once you finish the “end game” you see a pop up stating something to the fact “you have more secrets to discover and more lands to explore.” My reply is I finished the game and regret buying the season pass. I probably won’t play any of the expansions or DLCs as it adds nothing to the end game nor do I have any incentive to replay the game.
    Here are somethings I learned during my gameplay experience:
    I used the raven only a dozen times. Totally useless in the game.
    Most of your combat interactions will be melee so build around that.
    Assassination is an afterthought in this game.
    I upgraded the settlement to just below level 6…only to realize that the only buildings needed were the Hidden Ones Bureau for the Hidden Ones questlines and the cartographer. You spend very little time in your settlement anyway.
    • Stable not needed…available in most towns and cities.
    • Trader not needed…available in most towns and cities.
    • Seers hut not needed unless you want to do the side quests. You only get 10 skill points for completing both parts of the quest. You have to collect 30 “tears” for each part of the quest and you have a chance to kill a level 400 legendary animal. Entire side quests have no effect on the end game.
    • Fishing hut not needed unless you want to waste time on broken quests.
    • Hunting lodge not needed unless you want to waste time on broken quests.
    • Shipyard not needed unless you want to change the appearance of your longboat which you don’t spend that much time on. No other longboat upgrades available.
    • Tattoo shop not needed unless you want to constantly change the limited available tattoos and hair styles.
    • Barracks not needed unless you want to recruit other players Jomsvikings. Has no effect on monastery raids. Go into a monastery with Eivor, kill everyone and then use your horn to call your raiders as you need them to open up the doors and raid chests.
    • Museum not needed. Only gives you cosmetic items for your settlement.
    • Reda is worthless as you need a large amount of opals to buy his junk.
    • All other outbuildings not needed unless you want feast buffs. I only used the longhouse feast buff once as I didn’t see any real benefit of the buffs during gameplay.
    Data nodes are useless. Just immersion breaking parkour puzzles that have nothing to do with the endgame. I did the first three data nodes and passed on the others.
    Chasing flying books only to be rewarded with a random tattoo. I did three and passed on the rest of them.
    The overabundance of “blocked” doors which have a chest with a miniscule amount of basic crafting materials and silver. Not worth the effort to solve the puzzles.
    The berserker quest is useless. When you finish the quest you get to recruit the berserker and not the bear. The bear dies from old age at the end of the quest.
    De-synchronized because I killed three civilians who happen to be in the middle of a quest/combat area.
    The convoluted skill tree. Just a disaster. Granted you can respect at no cost, but it is a waste of time to respect from bear to raven to wolf as the scenario changes. It doesn’t make a difference near end game as you have the skill points for all three skill trees.
    Yggdrasil story arc is boring and immersion breaking.
    Most of the countryside is lifeless.
    Would have been nice to have the ability to kill Basim by midgame and also the option to let Sigurd die in Fulke’s dungeon.
    I won’t comment on the game breaking bugs as that is another topic in itself.
    I have learned my lesson to not buy pre-order game bundles. I’ll just save my cash and wait awhile after a game is released to purchase it.    … Expand

    This is a historically illiterate game that I find highly offensive. I suppose it's what I've come to expect from Ubisoft but it really is disgraceful how they are misrepresenting things intentionally in order to mislead a generation of kids.

    Horrible. Origin was pretty nice. Odyseey was very good. But this is just cheap. Eivor is horrible boring. The climbing is bad. The story is boring as f***. I dont like the style overall. Its just all a lesser version of odyseey. Very sad. Could have been a lot more.

    Ubisoft has made the worst game of the year. And the word "game" is a bit overrated. There isn't anything in this game that works. During 90+ hours in-game and I haven't found anything that works in this game. Also performance is crappy as the game crashes multiple times during playing. At least I got this piece of **** free from MSI. I feel sorry for people who had to pay for this game

    Disappointment is not the word that is appropriate here!! Two years lead to nowhere, during these two years they simply sucked money out of people and it was not important for developers to make an interesting story, do not believe YOU ALREADY!!!! And as the money stopped coming, they kicked out a crumpled, disgusting finale that shows how much they don't give a **** about us

    The worst assassin's Creed I've ever played and arguably the worst game I've ever played. Clunky and boring combat, Eivor is incredibly weak no matter how much you power him up and boss/legendary animal fights just consist of the enemy spamming its special the whole time. Next time I'm definitely not paying full price for an assassin's creed game. I'll wait until it goes on sale

And stop making some kind of MMO RPG out of the game, there's only one name left from the Assassins and the hidden blade of the main character, I want to kill enemies with one blow from above, as before, and not spend half a day on it.

    usual ubisoft that does things from ubisoft, yet another game that tries to steal a bit from all sides while losing its identity (like the last 2 Assassin's Creed)
    let's start with the most serious things: as always stupid, repetitive side missions, which add nothing to the game or to the main story and which result in a tedious challenge and you can't wait to finish as soon as possible,    usual ubisoft that does things from ubisoft, yet another game that tries to steal a bit from all sides while losing its identity (like the last 2 Assassin's Creed)
    let's start with the most serious things: as always stupid, repetitive side missions, which add nothing to the game or to the main story and which result in a tedious challenge and you can't wait to finish as soon as possible, huge game map full of collectibles (useless as always) just to give a semblance of longevity and justify such an unnecessarily large map
    Let's talk about optimization on pc? ubisoft ridiculous as always, cares about the pc as always, ridiculous framerates even with hardware from thousands of euros and above all cpu often and willingly 100% (I have a 9700k) thanks to denuvo (was it really necessary?)

    I conclude by saying that we are now in 2021 and that if there are still people who defend this stuff, which is by far, without a doubt the worst gaming company, it means that we deserve this crap, to see a company that percolates in this way its customers, which uses the exact same graphics engine and the exact same animations in 3 different games within 3 years (adding tiny things from title to title just to pretend it's a new game) just to save in production and taking as much money as possible from your customers makes me sick

    This game does not deserve the score it has. Audio is very poorly compressed and even though soundtrack is very good they didn't use them much idk why. Dialogues are so badly written everything feels like rushed. Characters aren't interesting not even Eivor's because they filled the game with unnecessary alliance grinding. Mid game is so boring idk how im gonna finish this.

    Ubisoft wouldn't know how to make a good combat system even if the best in the industry taught them for 100+ years, game is an absolute mess and probably has some of the worst design choices I've seen in a long time. Coming to this game from something like Elden Ring makes the experience a thousand times worse. The game is also an unfinished mess, filled to the brim with bugs.

    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]
