    Not impressed. Not bad graphics, but that's it. Just another huge disappointment by ubis**t.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vuruş hissiyatı yok mekanikleri çok hantal kalmış. Yapay zeka çok aptal. Grafikleri de odyssey ile aynı pek birşey değişmemiş. Üstelik optimizasyon sorunu da var dost abim rtx 2070le drop yiyordu. Buglar da tabiki çok fazla, çünkü bu bir ubisoft oyunu. Tek beğendiğim şey level sisteminin kalkması ve hikaye işlenişi. Onun dışında herşeyi çöp.… Expand

    Cons:
    - PC optimizations is f***ing bad, like really bad. Someone in Ubisoft should be fired considering how bad this game runs on a rtx 2070.
    - Animations should be improved - Combat system isn’t great - Same game mechanics since 2012. Copy/paste from Odyssey - General bugs, audio bugs, system crash… - IA is bad! Pros - Great landscapes - Great atmosphere - A lot of content -    Cons:

    - Great landscapes
    - Great atmosphere
    - A lot of content
    - Using a torch to set a house on fire is dope !
    - Sometimes it looks really nice

    I suggest you to buy the game when it is under 30$.

    The score is 0 because I'm trying to play on PC and it runs terrible.    … Expand

A larger, more lifeless, checklist map with endless throwaway bandit camps. And as I'm playing on a PC, another dubious accomplishment: it's even less optimized than Odyssey was at launch. The performance of this game is unforgivable as many other much more visually well done games do not run so poorly on my system. If I hadn't received my copy for free I would be quite upset. If they fix the performance I would give this game a 4 but as it stands at launch I would give it a 3. However, due to the smooth brains rating this utter tripe 10, I will rate it 0.

    tl;dr It is offensively bland and takes zero risks. If you want another helping of cardboard flavored slop you got it.    … Expand

    Petite critique d'Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Je suis (étais?) grand fan de la série, mais avec cet opus, c'est la douche froide.

    Malheureusement, ce jeu est avant tout un RPG viking et non un Assassin's Creed. Je pense que les bonnes notes attribuées à ce jeu viennent de joueurs qui voulaient avant tout un RPG de viking. Mais au point de vue AC, je suis fort déçu : Au point de vue    Petite critique d'Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Je suis (étais?) grand fan de la série, mais avec cet opus, c'est la douche froide.

    Malheureusement, ce jeu est avant tout un RPG viking et non un Assassin's Creed. Je pense que les bonnes notes attribuées à ce jeu viennent de joueurs qui voulaient avant tout un RPG de viking. Mais au point de vue AC, je suis fort déçu :

    Au point de vue narratif, y'a peu d'élément AC. Vu que la confrérie est bien établie à cette période-là, on aurait pu penser qu'on allait avoir une histoire bien encré dans le myhtos des Assassins. Mais ce n'est pas le cas. On incarne un viking dont la motivation première est d'établir sa colonie et de forger des alliances. Il faut attendre plus de 20h pour que l'histoire devienne (un peu) intéressante au niveau lore AC.
    Le coté infiltration est encore un peu plus nerfé. Non seulement, y'a beaucoup de phase qui oblige les combats corps à corps (raid, assaut, ...) mais ils ont en plus enlevé des compétences et objets liés à l'infiltration. L'infiltration est toujours possible par moment, mais beaucoup moins jouissif du coup.

    Au niveau RPG, c'est devenu fort limité aussi. Odyssey avait ses défauts, mais avait le mérite de proposer un RPG complet, très riche au niveau contenu, et des mécaniques bien ficelées. La comparaison fait mal :

    Un système de loot et de crafting très (trop) limité, remplacé par du grinding, pour avoir des équipement/ ressources, il faut aller là où il y a un point doré, chercher l'accès à un coffre, et espérer qu'il contienne ce qu'il nous faut. Ca devient vite répétitif et lassant.Je peux comprendre avoir retirer le loot pour les soldats de base, mais ils auraient du garder pour les "élites". Même un zealot ne donne rien d'intéressant comme loot, du coup, on n'a pas vraiement de motivation à leur faire la chasse.
    Plus de vrai quêtes annexes. Remplacé par des "world event" fini en 5 minute qui n'ont pas vraiment d'intérêt. En dehors de la quête principale, la seul raison de voyager sur la carte, c'est les points dorées qui, on espère, nous donnera les ressources qu'il nous manque... Ce manque des quêtes annexes provoque non seulement un manque de développement narratif par rapport à Evior et ses compagnons, mais aussi un sentiment de" vide" par rapport à la carte. C'est pas qu'il n'y rien à faire, c'est qu'il n'y a rien d'interessant (impactfull) à faire.
    Système de level supprimé pour les armes. On a encore des stats, mais sans level affiché, c'est difficile à dire si une attaque à 64 est bien ou non par rapport à notre niveau.. idem pour les armures. C'est extrêmement confus...
    Arbres à compétences ou en avance à l'aveuglette... On progresse au hasard plutôt que par stratégie ou par volonté de progresser vers un gameplay que l'on aime.
    Système de némessis supprimé, alors qu'il apportait un gameplay assez intéressant sur Odyssey. Comme mentionné, par rapport au zealots, y'a aucune motivation d'aller les tués. Y'a pas d'aspect narratif, y'a pas de loot, et y'a pas de système "némessis" comme dans Odyssey... Et c'est surement pas le gameplay qui va me pousser à afronter ces sac-à-pv !

    Bref, niveau RPG, perso je n'y trouve pas mon compte non plus.

    Pour le reste du jeu, encore beaucoup de défaut aussi :
    des bugs qui gâchent l'immersion;
    des ennemis sac-à-pv qui en plus se soignent. Ca rend les combats long et ennuyeux.
    des NPC qui font un 180° niveau personnalité en l'espace d'une conversation.
    Une impression de "déjà vu" omni-présante, que cela soit au niveau scénario ou des concepts du jeu. Certaines choses venant d'ancien AC, mais beaucoup d’inspiration prise ailleurs aussi. Peu de choses originales à se mettre sous la dent...
    Des QTE... En 2020, ça fait tâche...
    La traditionnelle mission sans équipement... Ca fait très "old-school" (dans le mauvais sens du terme)...

    Au final, je me suis rendu compte que je me forçais à jouer, et que j'y prenais pas de plaisir. Je le finirai surement un jour, mais en attendant, j'ai de meilleurs jeux qui m'attendent.

    Enfin, bref, AC était une licence que j'achetais les yeux fermés, et j'avais d'ailleurs pre-commandées les éditions collectors des trois derniers opus... mais maintenant, j'y réfléchirais à deux fois avant d'investir mon temps et mon argent dans les prochaines éditions...    … Expand

    It feels like you are playing a beta version. AI and combat are just awful. Always the same moves and finishes, enemies hitting the air or allies getting lost. Overall it feels grotesquely innatural.

    Ubisoft, Ubisoft never changes. I gate that level of hypocrisy, when they release the game without all additional payments, and later add it, after all reviews, metascores and game awards are finished. Good job ubisoft. I won't buy any of your new game even if it looks ok on release. Because later you might start charging for opening options or saving the game progress

    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]
