    This game deserves nothing but praise. Yeah it had some bugs at launch, but what games doesn't. Unlike Bethesta, Ubisoft always cleans their games up. In fact, huge patch is coming tomorrow.

    Beautiful game that has more content than any recent release and i would say 80% of that content is actually interesting.

    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.

    All major issues were fixed in today's patch, whoever still gives it anything below 7/10 is not actual Assassin's Creed fan and your opinion doesn't count. 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.

    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. Yes i'm hardcore Assassin's Creed fan, but it could have been easily boring and grindy like Odyssey, but it isn't It's absolute opposite. Amazing.

    I gave up on Ubisoft in 2019, it was pathetic. Breakpoint was huge fail, never do this again.

    This game blows most 2020 entries away. Of course it had some bugs at launch, they fixed it basically with 1.0.4 patch. I played 3 hours after patch came out and haven't had any problems since. "Force Open Door" works perfectly now.

    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.

    There's a lot of room for improvements and i bet Cyberpunk comes out before all these can be applied, but i think they will support this game for long time into 2021, so it's all good. So far impressions are very positive.

    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.

    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.

That just pathetic honestly. I looked at Origins user score and there seemed to be actually lots of people also figuring this same thing out and giving it fair scores, but where are these people now? Did they disappear or something? If anyone reads this from reddit or some Assassin's Creed community, please just spread the word! This user score needs more positive reviews!

    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]
