    Why so many negative reviews? AC Valhalla at least in my opinion is very good AC game. Way better than Odyssey or even Origins.

    My favorite location in whole game must be Norway, it's way smaller than England, but all this ice and mountains just make it looks so magical. Great game, would recommend.

    Positives: runs well enough on any (decent) PC, graphics are good, story is interesting, lots of place to explore.
    Negatives: I don't really have negatives, but there's always something to improve, like for example they could do that you can wear hood while fighting. That would be great.

    I like the fact that it's long game not 4-8 hours. I'm power level 150 i think and there seems to be so much more coming. So far it's one of the best in the series.

    Way better than Odyssey. All this endless grind is gone and xp comes easily. You get x2 skill points each time and it's really easy to get them. Just explore, raid, open chests, etc. Assassin's creed is back for sure!

    People who give this game 0/10 have clearly never played it. Nobody buys 60 dollar Assassin's Creed and then gives 0/10.

    Nobody cares about extremely overrated Witcher trash made by one of the worst companies ever. This page is for Assassin's Creed, one of the most important gaming series. This game is directly inspired and made by same people who made Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Your stupid Witcher 3 didn't even exist back then. You know nothing about video games, just leave!

    Very good Assassin's Creed game and one of the Best PC Games of 2020! I bet people who hate it are also same people who like Marvel's Avengers. Its so obvious. Tasteless gamers.

    It is not only the best assasins creed game so far created, but finally rly good game about vickings, and also rly great RPG game.

RPG system is also nice, every quest is like cutscene, character development is kinda ok, you can choose from 3 diffrent playstails, but you can max them all out also. Finally you can equip any weapon you want in assasins creed game, which make rly rpg from it, you can even equip 2 shields in your 2 hands. Music is rly good, Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner and Einar Selvik did rly amazing job with music, whole world is stunning, almost every npc in this game can be interracted with, npcs in your settlement or your crew have diffrent characters, everyone is special, and you will know them later, they are not just empty npcs.

    I have played pretty much every 3xA game of 2020 and i can safely say that AC:Valhalla is one of the best PC games of this year. After yesterday's update it feels even smoother imo. Would recommend to gamers who like brutal combat, huge world to explore, tons of different quests and good main character or in other words, to anyone who likes Assassin's Creed games.

    Go **** YOURSELF!
    This game is perfectly balanced! You get skill points all the time and 2 each time by the way.
    These "microtransactions" mean ABSOLUTELY nothing in this game!
    Nobody forces you to buy them. Just get a life.

    At least this game works perfectly unlike this Cybertrash 2077 that was promoted as next generation of open world games. AC Valhalla is very good game and using any booster is absolutely optional. You get xp everywhere, there absolutely no need to use them.

    It's so obvious that tons of these 0/10 are 100% fake. These people haven't even played it.

    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]
