    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.

    Good - Graphics, Ambient Music, Story, Characters, Huge Open World
    Negatives - Needs Some Patches
    Overall Conclusion - One Of The Best Of 2020

    World of gaming truly is full of extremely toxic (yes i hate that word too but it works in this context) people. Amount of salt, anger and just whining is beyond pathetic. AC Valhalla is well crafter Assassin's Creed game that (obviously) could use some patches and these patches are coming Mid-December by the way, but overall very good!

Not to even mention that Ubisoft graphics on Far Cry and Assassin's Creed games have always been top tier quality. Specially on PC. Extremely unfair, but seems like they have been gaining more following and after all their games sell million, so maybe it's just small minority that wants to hate them for whatever reasons. I believe in them and i like their games. I'm also fan of Rockstar, Capcom and CD Project, so there's that. Expand

    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.

    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.

Although my personal experience this time is very unsatisfactory, I still have higher expectations for the next brand-new Assassin Creed, hoping to play the once "Real Assassin" in the near future.

    AC Valhalla does alot of things decently well, but nothing great. The combat, quests, map, and story are all decent. After 25 hours of gameplay, I feel like there's nothing more to see. Looking at others' reviews, I might need another 30 hours to complete the game which is far too long.

    It's weird paradox that Assassin's Creed has millions of fans all over the world, but for some reason they never really come to metacritic. Maybe it's because AC fans are more mature and don't give a f_ck about some random scores on some random pages, that would make sense actually.
    And it sold over 1.8 million anyway, so basically who cares about metacritic user score at this point.

    Okay if you havent bought this game and you love rpgs with exploration and lots of customisation then Id advise you to wait a while before purchasing this game.

    If you love sneaky assassin games then maybe wait a while too or reconsider.. If you love hack and slash linear Viking games with little to no rewards for boss fights, exploration etc then this is the game for you. Story

    If you love hack and slash linear Viking games with little to no rewards for boss fights, exploration etc then this is the game for you.

    Story is ok..first game in years I just couldn't finish, due to boring, dark and depressing story and a serious lack of incentive..

    No armour and weapon drops?
    No armour /weapon rewards for big kills?
    Feck all armour designs especially light leather armours for sneaky builds.
    No dismantling No arrow crafting No transmogrification NPC's actually have better gear No reward in exploring.
    No replay value World events incredibly lame Bugs crashes and more bugs
    No decent music playing Disappointing customisation options-hair styles are all butch, too many tattoos not enough feminine hairstyles
    Skill Tree-awful awful awful
    Raiding-repetitive...well vikings..I'm so over that, they were a nasty bloodthirsty bunch of criminals really Chasing things on rooftops Mini map compass location Poor bird has been downgraded
    Killing bosses for no reward (other than to make the world a better place)
    No darts-where are my assassin tools? I miss them so much.
    Awful finishers happening ALL THE TIME..hate that..no quiet 'Im just walking thru town minding my own business assassinations', no double assassinations..big pause when assassinating, quick time events on assassinating.. No decent light armour in cash shop either

    Thats it- its an ok game with some terrible systems dragging it down. It's better to play it in a linear fashion and forget about exploring and hunting down bad guys, its not worth the time and effort.

    Finally video game that isn't over in 5-6 hours, thank god! And it's not some endless filler, but it's most of them time actually interesting and world is really interesting to explore, specially with those amazing graphics.

    I feel bad for these people who leave 0/10 scores. I would hate to be so empty and sad that i need to give 0/10 scores to games that i don't even play. Must suck to be one of these people.
    Thank you Ubisoft for this amazing game tho!

    Been hardcore Assassin's Creed fan since 2013 and i'm very impressed with Valhalla. Without a question it's one of the best in the series taking elements from Origins and Black Flag, while also adding something completely new. I personally found "Ghost of Tsushima" pretty boring compared to Valhalla, but these games shouldn't be compared anyway, because they are very different.

I'm not saying it's bad game and i'm glad it owned last of us 2 is sales, but other than that, Valhalla is way superior game and continues masterclass Assassin's Creed saga! Expand

    Played all the assassins creed games up to this one was a big fan of the series but this is by far the worst in the series for me, the god awful combat in this game and janky graphic glitches that happen like hanging from thin air to getting stuck in the ground while crouching, never mind the CTD's that happen.

    Assassin's Creed is one of the greatest things that has happened to gaming after Grand theft auto series.

    Truly standout graphics compared to other 2020 games, i would say one of the best graphics even. Story is 85% fun, there's some filler, but that's expected from huge games like this. But even then all missions are at least decent, but most are actually good. All this nonsense from Odyssey is gone. Also, basically all classic AC elements are back, ,like hidden blade.

    Good side - Graphics,Music,Story.
    Meh side - where's unity and black flag legacy outfits? i'm so tired of Altair's outfit in every game, come on, unity and black flag please!!!!!!
    Bad side - most bugs got fixed with 1.0.4 patch, but there's tons of things they could still patch because it's insanely big game.

    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]
