    THIS is how you do it Ubisoft, FINALLY! Not some endless xp **** and boring missions. Valhalla brings back greatness to AC series!

    After 30 hours i can say this might be my favorite after Black Flag, maybe even better idk. I think they are equally good.

    In a world full of mediocre video games and overhyped story simulators, Ubisoft, out of all companies managed to make one of the best Assassin's Creed games in 2020. What universe is this again?

    Some more patches would help, but overall it runs well and i haven't encountered any bugs, but i'm sure there's stuff to fix still, because it's very big open world. But other than that, it's really good.

    From modern ones easy top 4 - Black Flag, Valhalla, Unity, Origins. Good stuff. But i would like to mention Syndicate because it's so underrated, it's not best, but it's still fun enough and has some really nice graphics at times.

    My favorite thing is to watch haters disappear when they find out that some game is actually doing great. These fcking sad hateful people who just hate every new game without ever trying it make me sick. Awesome game!

    Norway and England look both incredible. Contrast between them makes both of them special in their own way. I love architecture in England, old bridges, towers, etc. Graphically stunning. Power level goes up really fast, if you actually loot chests and stuff. No grind or bs like that. Well done Ubisoft.

    Power level 100 right now and i can't stop playing, it's way too addictive. Haven't felt like that in very long time, seriously. Ubisoft is complete mystery to me, they can make absolute trash in 2019 and then one of their best games ever in 2020. Hopefully Far Cry 6 will be good as well, looking forward to that.

    Verything is like promised, you can raid, you can go in stealth, you can wear hood, you have hidden blade, story is solid, big and open world i'm enjoying it.

    Absolutely no bug will justify giving 0/10. That just shows that you never even cared about this game. I wanna see how people start giving "Cyberpunk 2077" - 0/10 scores, because it's obviously going to have bugs.

    What bugs are people talking about? I'm playing right now and it's actually very solid. I remember Red Dead Redemption 2 PC launch, well that one was awful.

    As i have played pretty much every Ubisoft AAA game i would almost say that AC Valhalla might be their best map's they have ever designed. Also, one of the best Assassin's Creed games ever. I don't even care what next AC will be or if it fails or whatever else, because i already know i'm going to play Valhalla for years to come.

    Very good Assassin's Creed as expected, trailers didn't mislead and there's actually way more interesting content than i could have ever expected. So far i have seen three maps, Norway, England and Vinland (North-America). There's this "dream-world" where you meet all the gods, that's also really cool. Hyped for Ireland and Paris DLC's.

    Haters can just f..ck off honestly. I'm so done with this "i had this one bug, 0/10 reeeeee", like grow up or something. Nothing is perfect, Ubisoft usually always fixes bugs and this launch has been actually pretty okay, so far i like this game a lot.

    I mean what can say is that i bought it day 1 and it was little rough, but playable for sure. Now it's in way better state and even tho it needs more patching, early game (and by that i mean at least first 50 hours) is all good. What needs more work is endgame, but overall it's very well made, maps are huge and there's so much to do and explore.

    I Found Assassin's Creed series for myself in 2013, before that i barely knew it existed. I knew there was someone running on rooftops in white robe, but that was it. I never cared, until Black Flag came out and that changed everything. Now i have been hardcore fan since 2013, there have been hits and misses, but i almost love all of them.

    This "Cash Shop" is absolutely meaningless, it's very obvious that you haven't even played the game. I'm 60+ hours in the game and there's absolutely no grind, xp and levels come extremely easily.

So these fake review's with their 0/10's are really disgusting actually because they are trying to mislead other people with their lies. There's 100's of hours gameplay footage on youtube and most of these videos has from 10 000 to 100 000's of views and thousands of likes, so people are very clearly liking this game.

    Why lower metascore from 84 to 83? This is clearly in every possible way better game than Origins.

    I'm so extremely happy i actually waited and bought Valhalla instead of Cyberpunk 2077. I saw tons of leaked Cyberpunk footage and this game is just not ready, not even close.

    Typical "DelayProjectRed" fanboy. It has nothing to do with Witcher. This game is clearly inspired by 2013's AC4: Black Flag, that came out way before Witcher. Ubisoft made these games way before your overhyped Witcher even released. Assassin's Creed games are way better than Witcher.

Assassin's Creed games have actual interesting historical locations and parkour that no other games even come close to.

    Plastic texture? Nice try. AC Valhalla has one of the best graphics of 2020. Have you seen Cyberpunk 2077 graphics? Cyberpunk looks awful, specially on ps4 and xbox one, but even PC version is not anything special. Pretty obvious you haven't even played Valhalla, just watching youtube video doesn't count. This game has 8.0 user score on PC platform because it was biggest

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is nice game that takes place in 800s Norway and England. Graphically one of the best of 2020, story is solid, combat is very brutal.

    Someone asked here why it has user score 8.0, well how about this, it's good game.
    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is one of the best PC games of 2020 alongside Half-Life:Alyx and Doom Eternal.

    Cyberpunk fanboys are absolutely pathetic. Valhalla and many other actually good games from past 4 years got so much hate because they had few bugs (not even comparable how buggy Cyberpunk is on Ps4 and even on PC). But now when everyone knows that Cyberpunk is buggy mess, every fanboy tries to act like "it's just fine". Pathetic. It's top level hypocrisy!

    Cyberpunk is nothing new or nothing special anyway. It's literally mixture of Skyrim and GTA V, absolute wannabe with worse world details than GTA 4 from 2008.
    I'm extremely disappointed in Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 (PC as well) performance and bugs and very soon millions of other people will be as well. Cyberpunk fanboys always whined about other games when they had any bugs at launch and acted like "Cyberpunk 2077 will be this "Absolute Next-Gen miracle". It's time for reality check i guess. All it proves is that sheep will follow basically anything that gets popularity and likes.

    Ubisoft has lots of hits and misses and that's because they make so many games.
    But for almost every miss they have at least two hits.
    Ubisoft hits : Far Cry 3 (2012) , Far Cry 4 (2014), Watch_Dogs (2014) (PC Version, but PS4/Xbox One versions look decent as well), AC 4: Black Flag, AC Origins (2017), AC Valhalla (2020), Immortals: Fenyx Rising (2020), AC Unity (2014) (PC Version

    Decent Ubisoft games: Far Cry 5 (2018), The Division 2 (2019), AC Syndicate (2015), Steep (2016), AC Odyssey (2018), Cold Fear (2005), Ghost Recon Wildlands (2017), Watch Dogs 2 (2016), Far Cry: Primal (2016), Rayman Legends (2013)

    Ubisoft Fails: The Division (2016), Ghost Recon Breakpoint (2019), Watch Dogs: Legion (2020) If DLC and Online turn out to be REALLY good, it can go to "Decent category, right now it's too bland), Assassin's Creed 3 (2012), Heroes of might and magic VI (2011)

    Of course they have more games, but i tried to mention mix of modern and older games. My point stands that they have made some really good and even decent stuff. Valhalla easily belongs to "Ubisoft hits" category.

    Extremely good Assassin's Creed game, i tried to play Black Flag again yesterday to see, if i like it more or less than Valhalla (because Black Flag was my previous favorite) and i have to say, i actually enjoy Valhalla more.

    Good , but it's already very good VG!
    I have played over 25 hours.
    Assassin's Creed Valhalla plays best on PC, but i'm sure it also runs well on next-gen consoles.
    I personally own only PC and PS4 versions.

    This is so much better than Cyberpunk 2077, it's crazy. I was actually waiting for Cyberpunk 2077, but it's extremely buggy and you need extremely high end pc to actually run it. Ps4 version is even worse. Thank god i bought Valhalla.

    Ghost of Tsushima is just boring Assassin's Creed rip-off and nothing else. Assassin's Creed is one of the best gaming series ever and will never leave and will never fall. Deal with it haters.

    I bet some people are pissed that CyberBug 2077 turned out to be complete failure and now they come here to dislike Valhalla. So typical, but thankfully Valhalla already was huge success and there's absolutely no way anyone will lower these user scores for Valhalla. AC fans will protect this game forever.

    If you hate this game that means you also hate Origins and Black Flag, because Valhalla is direct inspiration from these. And if you hate Black Flag your opinion means absolutely nothing to do, so there's that.

    It's absolutely pathetic that people whine about Ubisoft's optimizatsion, while their games are perfectly playable. But they hype Cybertrash 2077 to moon and back while this game gets 39fps with gtx 1070 and looks like trash. It's over.

    Poor optimisation? Kidding me? This game runs perfectly fine compared to optimisation nightmare that is Cyberpunk 2077. But difference here is that Ubisoft game's development takes usually 2-3 years, but Cyberpunk 2077 had 8 years to make it good and it still barely runs on high-end videocards.

    I will not put a critic about how good this game is. There already are so much 10 out of 10 reviews here.

    But I would try to share three small advices to make the game better. Surely play it on the hardest difficulty and this for all (combat, exploration, assassination), disable the compass and use the crow to direct you and, most important, use your competence points only when

    Surely play it on the hardest difficulty and this for all (combat, exploration, assassination), disable the compass and use the crow to direct you and, most important, use your competence points only when needed (to not increase your level too fast which will cause the game to be too easy).

    Applying these, the game is just ... wow. Thanks ubisoft for that.

    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]
