    Really good scen, huge and detailed open world. Really nice graphics for a cross-gen game.
    In this world, there are so many interactions to play and control ships, a storyline and side missions, a ton of new cities to arrive and play. This game is addictive and can run for 70 - 100 hours of play in reality.

    Graphics are better than odyssey, in fact these looks like true next gen. Voice acting is so much better than Odyssey. Missions are more fun than Odyssey. Parkour is million times better than in Odyssey. Basically yeah, it's very good. Don't let these fake zeros distract you.

    According to my prologue playing experience, I must note, that Ubisoft has completed a huge work with the mistakes of their previous parts, like Odyssey and Origins.

Less boring grind and more interesting side quests, more complicated and challenging battle system where you have to think and to react not to grind if you want to win. The absence of the tedious leveling system of Origins/Odyssey is also wonderful as for me. Also we have a full-value stealth system including the possibility of the instant kill of EVERY enemy by the hidden blade which is also perfect for me. The massive battles are perfect if to compare them with the Odyssey. Now we have a complete captivating castle sieges unlike the previous part where we had tedious battles of blue and red commands. Ubisoft tryes to make the Assassins' Creed franchise great again and that is good. The only minus for me are some graphic bugs and boring music. Maybe the open world is a little empty. So the real mark is 8/10, the game is not ideal of course, but I have seen here a lot of nonobjective negative comments, so that's why my mark is 10. However it is the best Assassin from the Black Flag times. Keep it up Ubisoft - that was a very pleasant surprise in this terrible year. Ну, а если вкратце и по-русски - это лучший ассасин со времен Черного Флага. Expand

    Here's a 10 to make this score more like it should be, sad to see this site has so many fake accounts and bots. This game is amazing and these losers are trying to lower this score. Awful. At the same time there's over 500 fake 10/10 accounts on demon souls remake, can't believe anyone takes this site even seriously.

    To me personally this top 3 Assassin's Creed game ever made. These two maps alone (England and Norway) have so much content and stuff to explore. And then they add Ireland later?? That's everything i wanted from this game, maybe even more.

    This game has so much more content than spider-man miles morales and is way better than demon's souls remake (yes i tried them all, demon's souls remake is awful by the way and spider-man miles morales is way too short). If i could recommend one game from november 2020, it would be Assassin's Creed Valhalla, maybe Black Ops too, but that's it really.

    Spent 2 hours climbing mountains in Norway and it was maybe best fun i have had in 2020 video game. This game can be extremely relaxing, climbing some huge mountain and just looking at the distance while wind slowly blows. It can also be very brutal, if you want, you can fight so many different enemies and bosses. There's so much to do, so much to explore and it's actually fun. Amazing game.

    There are a few sound issues early in the game with voice acting but it's super minor.

Some negative reviews said the graphics were not optimized but I'm using a $100 RX570 graphics card at 3440 x 1440 on medium to high settings and it is smooth and beautiful. It's actually better framerates and smoother with this ultrawide Premium Freesync monitor than it was on my 1080p non-Freesync monitor. Really surprised at the optimization and performance. Gotta go. Have alot to explore. Expand

    Assassin's Creed is not something you can quickly finish and move on to next "cool game". This game series focuses on exploration, stealth and really just enjoying the environments.
    Of course it also has brutal combat and all that cool stuff, but what i'm trying to say is that it's not your average 5-10 hour game. If you don't wanna actually enjoy it and take your time, there's no point

    According to Ubisoft this game was huge success and as hardcore assassinscreed fan i'm very happy for it. This game is amazing anyway, but just to hear that it's actually doing really well just made this november so much better. It's so much better than Odyssey that these two games shouldn't even be compared. This is more like 2020 Black Flag or something like that.

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. Maybe this Valhalla caters to me the most of all AC title until now. Expand

    Assassin's Creed games are very good and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I don't even wanna know what kind of trash you are playing. This game has more content and better graphics than most 2020 video games could dream of. You are clearly just hateful person who knows absolutely nothing about topics you talk about. Ubisoft has made many great games and this is one of them. But i'm actually glad that you don't own this game, because piece of sht people like you don't deserve to enjoy great games like this. Just do all actual REAL gamers a favor, stop your whining and just find a new hobby, gaming clearly isn't for you. AC Valhalla is amazing and one of the best games of 2020.

    Support this game, if you wanna see more good Assassin's Creed games. If you don't support this then they will go back to Odyssey with next one.

Absolutely no other gaming company makes these kinds of historical fiction games where you can climb on top of every building, etc. Haters don't care about historical locations at all. They most likely don't even know / care about history that much. They just wanna whine about every game Ubisoft makes, because they think it makes them look cool, but in reality it makes them look stupid, because Assassin's Creed has millions of fans all over the world and they clearly understand the appeal of these games. These are likely more level headed people, so no wonder they don't come to sites like metacritic, they don't even care about places like that. But this site attracts losers who just wanna hate and whine. I Found this news-site from 2017 that was about "fake reviews on AC Origins". Then why has nobody removed all these fake zeros?? Or maybe they don't care anymore, because last of us 2 gets 100s of fake positive and negative reviews every single day. I can say one thing, i will support Ubisoft till the day i die, they make good video games and it's very clear that they get hate because they are popular. If haters would get their way and all these other companies would go away then gaming would be dead because we would get 1 game in 5 years. Because that's all they want. They want only CDprojectred to exist and they hate absolutely everything else and i think i know why. Because they can pirate their games and of course losers will automatically support them. Expand

Back in 2003 when Remedy released amazing game "Max Payne 2" they had to give up Max Payne and sell it to Rockstar, because max payne 2 didn't sell enough. "Why?" you would ask. Well because everyone fcking downloaded it for free, that's why. Game cracking has been thing forever and now suddenly people act like gaming companies are BAD when they use denuvo, because now they can't download their games day 1. Expand

    Best assassin creed so far, What really impresses me, though, is how consistently great the story is throughout the entire adventure.

    Extremely fun game, if you actually know what you are doing. If you are used to linear games that tell you what to do at every second then don't even try AC Valhalla, it's clearly not for you. This games focuses on fact that YOU will explore the world, YOU will make YOUR own journey. If you don't like these kinds of games, there's no point trying it.

    If This games doesn't get absolutely any "The Game Awards" nominations, i might leave gaming forever. Like i wouldn't even care anymore at that point, because it would be biggest injustice in history of gaming, ever.

If they actually think 6 hours long spider-man miles morales is worth that nomination more, then that's just pathetic. I'm not saying spider-man don't deserve it, but leaving Valhalla completely out, while giving some short games spot JUST BECAUSE they are console exclusives is pathteic. Absolutelty pathetic. I'm not saying AC Valhalla needs to get "game of the year" nomination, i'm saying, give it ANY nomination. Music, art direction, best action / adventure game, ANYTHING. It doesn't even have to win, just nomination would be enough. I have been gaming over 10 years, it's my biggest passion and hobby and if this game gets no nominations i might just give up gaming. Literally any joy i feel from gaming would be gone and it would be gone because i would know that i'm part of community that doesn't understand greatness. But hopefully it gets some nominations, i'm really hopeful, because i have some faith left in this community, not much, but still, some. Expand

    Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed Valhalla was biggest launch in AC history, it was also nominated for Best Action / Adventure game. It has so much content and it's overall very fun, enjoyable game. Hater can just leave, because you all already lost. This game is Massive Success and nothing will change that fact! One of the best games of 2020.

    From graphics, story, combat and exploration aspect this game is very nice, some bugs tho, hopefully these will be fixed in future patches. Overall very good. This most fun i have had with video game in 2020. Doom Eternal is close second place. It's more like 9 obviously, but giving it 10 because there's so many fake 0's.

    Generally I'm glad it was a huge new game with plot and side missions. As from the first Assassin in those years it surpassed more in mass content and gameplay. This story is also shocking in many ways.
    The game is already 30 hours but passed only by a quarter and impressions positive huge.

Voice acting is also better than Odyssey. I also like that it's long game, i'm sore tired of these overhyped games that will be over after 5-6 hours. What i hate most on this planet is fanboys of some other games that come here and just give low score, because they think that's okay. No it's not!

    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]
