    Spent 170 hours on Valhalla. This game is very solid. It has to be one of the best open worlds ever created. It is beautiful, stunning at times. Music and score is nice, really immersive. I must say Ubisoft is trying to listen to the critics, because I see some improvements within the franchise. Quests are a little better, dialogs don't seem as stupid as it used to be in Odyssey.

I must say Ubisoft is trying to listen to the critics, because I see some improvements within the franchise. Quests are a little better, dialogs don't seem as stupid as it used to be in Odyssey. Game is a little bit more RPGish now, but is still has a lot of flaws. I liked how different weapons create different combat feeling, but crafting system in general felt odd. I literally levelled up first random set I found and kept it for the entire game. This is how unnecessary crafting was. I liked the blue mysteries on the map. These unique stories were a great idea to fill the map with content. The number of alliances to form was a madness though. I finished this game a week ago, and I can remember maybe two plots of these regional quests. Halfdan in Donecaestre and maybe crimes of Lunden. I never thought I would ever say, that game can be too big, but Valhalla clearly is. It makes you tired. And repetition kills all the brilliance of it. I would be happy to give it a score of 9 if Ubisoft made it around 20% smaller, and made the story stand out a little more.… Expand

    The game crashed, froze, music stuck, me being stuck on a mission, me being literally stuck. The characters in my story are teleporting.
    Except for the crashes, they were all minor concerns for me.
    I'm enjoying the game, but the story, writing, and dialogues are all mediocre. There's no real goal, nothing to propel you forward, and you're basically doing the **** for other people over and over again.
    The gameplay is enjoyable, but not exceptional, and this is not an AC. It's attempting to link it to the franchise, but it's simply not possible; the parkour is so constrained that 90% of what you could do in unity is lost here.

    Imagine being on a wall, looking behind you, and wanting to leap from the wall to another ledge, which is something you can do in every previous game, but you can't do it here. It's quite frustrating.
    The hidden blade is practically useless; there is no incentive to go stealth other than to waste time. Eivor isn't even a member of the creed.

    There are 5 songs on the boat; I couldn't find anyway to find find or unlock more; imagine sailing for 50 hours with the same 5 songs or just the sound of the water.

    Eivor isn't really engaging or charismatic. He serves no actual function other than to serve as a slave to everyone.

    Upgrades and all of the weapons' stats and runes seem pointless; all you need is XP and skills to get genuine power.

    So many micro-transactions my god.

    This game is so simple, merely reaching the required strength level allows you to demolish anything... To find any challenges, I had to play in a higher power level zone.

    This game is empty, no loot drop nothing, and I've discovered 5 weapons in 35 hours.

    Technically, the game looks decent, but not great, and visually, it's just plain uninteresting. I'm using HDR, and I'm not sure if the game is bugged, but the colors are occasionally very flat.

    Since Unity, I haven't really like any ac, but this one was quite interesting. I adore the Vikings, their history, mythology, and gods, but I doubt I would have played as long if I hadn't already learned about and enjoyed the period. I would have definitely stopped after 5 hours.

    I'd like to talk about how this game handles gods, but it would be a major spoiler, and I'm not a fan.

    If you're a long-time fan of AC, you'll probably dislike it, or if you do, it won't be the greatest for you.

    If you like the new style of ac and odyssey, you'll probably enjoy this one as well. There's less grinding and a level cap, which is a plus.

    This game tries to accomplish a lot of things, but it doesn't do any of them better than any other game. It's just okay, so I'll give it a 5.

    So, while the games is better than Odyssey, being better than awful does not make you good. I've played every single Assassin's Creed game, and each one has done something that has stayed with me. The music, gameplay, story, writing, and so on. After 25 hours, Valhalla had done nothing to amaze me, no times where I stayed and thought, 'Wow, this is fantastic.'

    It doesn't do anything differently from any other action game. And it certainly does not outperform the most well-known RPG on the market.

    It's a shame because Valhalla has so much potential, and we all know that ubisoft can achieve greatness and has done so in the past.

    But it appears like Ubisoft is simply not trying; they're settling for good enough. They're overly concentrated on developing as many games and microtransactions as possible in order to generate as much money as possible... They're on the wrong track, and I don't want to see the gaming business follow suit.    … Expand

    the game is so reputative plus all the damn bugs from interacting with NPC to the climbing the combat is so bad that you get tired of it so fast the different weapon doesn't make that much of a different all the wealth hunting is the same the game says it's assassins creed but it has nothing to do with assassins creed games plus the huge empty map makes it worst

    AC Valhalla offers a very beautiful, fleshed out open world to dive in (art direction is, once more, truly exceptional) and an intriguing, enjoyable story, especially for those who like the vikings setting.

Moreover, the protagonist is well-balanced, witty and relatable, while, at the same time, (s)he allows some room for role playing. I really liked Kassandra in Odyssey and I didn't believe that they could actually match that, but they did (plus the fact that Magnus Bruun is great as Eivor, better than Melissanthi Mahut as Kassandra imo whose performance was good, but uneven). The supporting cast is good as well, with very few exceptions. Last but not least, I really liked the spooky/mystic atmosphere of the game, Ubisoft nailed it in this aspect (the phenomenal soundtrack helps a lot with this of course).

    So, why did I give it a 7, instead of an 8 or a 9? The main reasons are the following 3:

    1. Lack of refinement. This is classic Ubisoft. They craft these amazing open worlds, they put so much effort and passion and love, but they sabotage themselves by not allowing a few more months of production to cover that extra mile and achieve greatness. And in order to achieve greatness you have to tend to the details as thoroughly as possible, take care of those little things very few people notice if they are there, but many people notice if they are not.

    2. The combat is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand they fixed the main issue I had with Odyssey (enemy sponges), on the other the combat doesn't always "connect", it often feels awkward and disjointed. Also, it's too exaggerated/arcadey for my taste (for instance, the heavy attack usually flings the enemies 5-6 meters away, wtf). I think this was the perfect opportunity for a more grounded, tight and impactful combat system which would significantly add to the immersion. Sadly, they missed it.

    3. It drags far too long; obviously this is completely subjective, but I felt that the game would've been far better if they'd removed some of the fat (which, imo, is about 10-15 hours of unnecessary content).

    Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying my time with the game. It's a good game. Unfortunately though, it has some serious issues which I think Ubisoft has the knowledge, experience and resources to address, but they didn't. And this is not the 1st time, it is actually the rule rather than the exception with all of their games.

    That's all, Severouss out.    … Expand

    Like most of the AC games, this one also has a good beginning and ending.
    And like the last 2 games, it has an almost dead and soulless open world which gets extremely boring as you feel like you're killing puppets while you're killing guards as the game progresses.
    Combat is a bit better than odyssey but the AI needs a LOT of work.

    A buggy mess. I could barely get into it before giving up. Either the visuals are ugly or they're glitched as hell because they look like a major downgrade on my pc. And I get occasional major framerate drops which force me to quit the game.

    It MIGHT be good in six months to a year, when the game has been polished to a playable state. Until then, DO NOT BUY.

    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]
