    AC Valhalla is overall a very good game and could be recommended to almost everyone, but it has it's flaws which shouldn't be skipped.

    Let's start with pros - the game looks gorgeous and most of the time runs nicely. I also really like these small eyeball movements and facial expressions of the main characters (others dont have any expressions so such things like screaming only comes to opening mouth for them). But that's all.
    Now for the cons - The game been crashing for me everyday at least once dropping me back to the desktop. If i were lucky enough to play for some time, sooner or later i came onto some kind of bug or error that blocked the progress - NPC i should be following stands like a statue, script didn't triggers even tho i am in a correct possition, or Quest started without it's objective and i couldn't end it (the one with the barrier). That alone had a massive impact on my enjoyment with the game.
    Next up - Plot. The game's being set in RPG genre. Yes Eivor is cool and easy to identify with but the whole story is boring and unnecessarily stretched out. Not a single decision has a impact on story. Everything comes to go to point X and kill bunch of NPC's - all the time. Eivor is a viking right? Forget about sneaking then. Ubisoft was promising 'getting back to the roots of the series' with sneaking within monks - yes you can actually do it. Is there a reason you should do it for? Not at all. 99% of the time you have to use violence (call your crew and raid the place) in order to open up a way to your goal. All this 'assassin's vs templars' plot could be easly removed from the game and nothing would happen.
    The whole 'settlement' thing also does very little for the game. I only returned there whenever the main story ordered me to do so. Of course you can upgrade the gear there (that also has very little impact for the game - you can literarlly go with your starting eq and you'll be fine) or give back gathered collectibles in return for more minningless items.
    Birds fly with 15 FPS (even if you're right next to them) witch makes them look hillarious.
    Sounds are compressed 'to save up some disk space' but they sound just awfully. I also can't remember a single musical background.
    The game is clearly designed to take at least 50 hours if you rush it, so that the regular player will have to buy at least two months of ubisoft+ to finish it. In my honest opinion - less hours but better narration or gameplay is worth more than gigantic world filled with boring activities.
    It doesn't deserve more than 7. It's an okay game but nothing besides that - not a good Assassin's Creed game nor a game about Vikings.    … Expand

    Another craft from Ubisoft. If the previous two parts looked good, but Valhalla was already boring. The main character's story didn't grab me. And everything that concerns the plot about the Assassins has not been interesting to me at all for 10 years.

    Przez pierwsze 24h wydaje się naprawdę dobra, ale po tym nie pokazuje nic nowego, wszystko jest wtórne, a z upływem czasu wszystkie postacie coraz mniej mnie obchodziły i coraz mniej pamiętałem o ich istnieniu. Ostatecznie fabuła jak i każda mechanika tylko rozczarowuje i drażni.

    Fabuła na początku wydaje się ok, ale jest niesamowicie rozciągnięta i ostatecznie zwyczajnie głupia. Pełna jednakowych postaci i niemal nic nie zapada w pamięć.
    To niesamowite, że udało im się sprawić, by bitwy ze zdobywaniem zamków były aż tak jednakowe i monotonne.
    Zakończenie tak nijakie, że nawet można nie zauważyć, że to koniec.
    Ta gra jest trochę jak opowiadanie przez bananowe dzieci jak to jest być biednym.

    Dziwny koncept bohatera o "zmiennej" płci (którego zdecydowanie dominującą jest kobieta), ale możemy narzucić mu 1.

    Bohater/ka przez całą grę tylko szuka czyim być przydupasem, by ten ktoś zaczął ją lubić, mimo że solo mogłaby wygrać wszystkie wojny.

    Krótkie, ale poważniejsze zadania poboczne, lecz mimo tego bez pomysłu i szybko zaczynają nudzić.
    Mechanika szukania samemu tego, co trzeba w nich zrobić, jest spoko i początkowo je ratuje, ale z czasem nawet to im nie pomaga.
    Czasem niemoralne/toksyczne rzeczy są przedstawione jako coś dobrego lub po prostu fajna zabawa. Granie w tą grę momentami odbierało mi chęci do życia.

    "Pyskówki", czyli dialogi będące rymowanymi, słownymi potyczkami są głupkowate. Miałyby więcej sensu z dubbingiem w tym samym języku co napisy, ale nadal byłyby głupkowate.

    Każda czynność wałkowana jest milion razy do porzygu. Gra nie szanuje czasu gracza.
    Mimo upływu lat gra potrafi bugami zepsuć jakieś wyzwanie lub misje i zmusić do powtórki.

    Klimat brudniejszy, niektóre lokacje niczym żywcem wyjęte z Wiedźmina.
    Bardzo ładna trawa.
    Brzydcy ludzie, zwłaszcza dzieci - ich twarze często przypominają dziwacznych, chorych starców, albo dorosłych karłów.

    Ekonomia nie istnieje. Nie kupuje się broni, tylko śmieci.
    Od początku do końca gry używałem tego samego zestawu zbroi, czasem tylko zmieniając jego wygląd (a jest ich mało i wszystkie niezbyt atrakcyjne).
    Odnajdywane skrzynie i innej "wielkie skarby" to zazwyczaj syfiaste sztabkami żelaza czy innego syfu do poprawiania statów ekwipunku.

    W porównaniu do poprzedniej części: nieco mniej przyjemna rozgrywka, ładniejsza grafika, brudniejszy klimat, bardziej nużące i powtarzalne czynności, głupsza fabuła.    … Expand

    Leading up to release, the noise around Valhalla did manage to hype me up. And it didn't disappoint... at least that's what I thought at the beginning.

And, from my own experience, it seems to be a pattern throughout all of the AC games: they start out strong and slowly fade away towards the end once all of the routines settle in.

    The story is alright, but nothing too exciting. Usual Ubisoft problems there: boring dialogues and poor animation. World events it's the only breath of fresh air in this entry. Most of them seem fun and interesting, although they lack in depth and duration. I've stumbled upon a few quest-breaking bugs with World Events as well.

    Speaking of bugs, there's quite a few. Although sometimes it's difficult to say whether something is a bug or it's a poor game design. Abilities require some serious rebalancing, I ended up using only one ability (the one with the harpoon) as it was dealing much more damage than all the other ones. Skill tree was rather annoying with all the sub-nodes to unlock, as unlocking them didn't add anywhere nearly enough difference to actually notice during gameplay.

    Visually the game looks like Odyssey, in the best-case scenarios that is. But in most cases, it actually looks worse. Very disappointing in that regard.

    And gear and weapons... Oh boy, that was one of the stupidest changes they introduced. The gear system is basically non-existent. I ended up using the first gear set (Berserk) I got at the very beginning of the game throughout the rest of it. Other gear sets had weak buffs and looked much worse next to my upgraded gear. Same with weapons: tons of shields, barely any interesting weapons. I found a badass axe at the beginning of the game and used it for the whole game as I couldn't find anything better.

    Overall experience was very mediocre. The game feels extremely rushed into release and unimaginative. Like with pretty much all of the previous AC games, they could do a much better job if only they invested a decent amount of time into development. 3 years of development is a joke, regardless of how many studios were involved.

    Oh, birds and flames at half the framerate are still there ;)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is exceptional. Combat mechanics are very nice, every weapon is different and has its own movement, also the finishing moves are great, too. Exploration is wonderful, every time you encounter them, it's always different and not just some kill and fetch quests, and that's what makes this world of Saxon England feels alive.

    The things that I don't like is Asgard, it's an isu world, so we should have Isu powers, just like in Odyssey, and the Asgard story is just boring. Castle sieges are also buggy, some enemy soldiers will only doing taunting, or attack nothing. I think wars mechanics in Odyssey is better than sieges in this game. And of course, there are also some bugs, like crashing, character stuck, etc.    … Expand

    Loved the game for the first 30-40 hours even though this is probably the most buggy singleplayer game I have ever played. The combat is so underwhelming and the sound design is AWFUL. The story delivery (character expressions and voice acting) and the cinematic experience is the typical ubisoft mediocrity. It had a few good moments but they were far too rare. But I still had a great time exploring the world and farming resources. But the moment I got tired of exploring, is the moment where the game started to drag and become annoying.

    Some Story arcs were really good. But most of the later arcs felt so unnecessary and fillerish. The story could have moved on to the Sigurd arc without any of these later arcs. It felt like an actual chore to play-through the story in the 2nd half.

    Also the ending felt so lacking that I didn't even realize that it was supposed to be the end.

    The game has a really good OST but it is so under-used and miss-used. Story raid music for example where Einar selvik's osts start to play are so good but they are added so quietly that you can barely hear them in the raid.

    I just wish the story would have been only half as long. That would have made the game a much better experience.

    Valhalla has great campaign story, really long campaign lenght by the way even though is shorter in map size and less "RPG" than Odyssey for example. Story is interesting and has some very well developed characters (Eivor being the best)

    In Valhalla, Ubisoft removed the grindy mechanics found in previous games (Origins and Odyssey) and brought back some of the good old stealth that made the series famous. There are some story arcs in the major cities that brought back ACII vibes, and it's really well done.

    England's landscape is a delight. Green pastures, forests, swamps everything is nicely done.

    Now for the bad parts: Game has some visual bugs (I played on PC on ultra), flickering, bugs where characters go under the ground, npcs running to the wall (enemies included), a very annoying bug when you load and your characters becomes drunk (also happens when you die and respawn which is even more annoying), I also had some crashes, all the crashes happened during quests, so once again, really really annoying. Fortunately, I didn't have game breaking bugs.

    NPCs face models is really terrible, if you played the previous games you already know, it's the same engine so no enhancements, all npcs look terrible expect for the major one (3 or 4) and Eivor that is really well made.
    Game has some 1999 fire effects it's ridiculous. Unbelievable, because water effects are so, so good and fire effects sucks. The major problem is that you interact a lot with fire during gameplay so it's really concerning.
    Enemy AI still bad, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
    Microtransactions. I can't say much because I didn't even open the store during my gameplay, you don't really need to and you don't feel compelled to, at least I didn't. From what I see in microtransactions store you'll find, clothing, weapons, mounts, exp boost, etc.
    Like I said, it didn't bother me because I didn't feel the need to use, but microtransactions in a single player game is always bad, so that's a no-no.

    Ubisoft will probably change engine for the next trilogy (as this one is most likely finished). If they fix those bad parts IMO (characters face models, AI, etc) the next Assassin's Creed might be even greater than this one, which is totally possible.    … Expand

    Barely any story, and the settlement-making aspect is not enough to make up for the fact that not much else is new. It’s a fine AC game - just much more boring than what I expected after a two year wait. Lots of bugs and crashes. The graphics and designs are quite nice, the world itself is well built.

    I booted ACV up 4 weeks after I bought it on launch day. So 4 weeks to patch out issues. The opening story cutscene stutters, badly. The story itself was short and empty, watching our character go from the typical AC childhood to adult, but this time in about 2 minutes flat. The game crashes every 5 minutes.

It's literally unplayable for me, and from what I've read, I'm not alone. You can't mark anything with your raven, hitting a crate to loot it is more difficult than actual combat - and these are all issues from playing for only half an hour before my game crashed for the first time. Now it crashes every 5 minutes.

    It is extremely obvious they rushed this out to market before Cyberpunk released. Ubisoft is known for releasing rushed, buggy games, but this - this makes all previous Ubi games look like polished diamonds. I'll echo something I've seen others say as well: with the graphics, story, and polish, Valhalla looks like it came out of 2010. Calling it mediocre would be a compliment - hell, I wish I could play long enough to come to that conclusion.

    TL;DR: Even almost a month after release, the game is unplayable, and what *is* playable is extremely disappointing. I would get a refund if Ubisoft's refund policy didn't exclude games "that have been launched", and everyone who has ever played an Ubisoft game on launch day knows that's insanity.    … Expand

    Parcour is frustrating for ages now. Stealth has been implemented and is useless too since we wont get any rewards for going stealth and its also frustrating because the detection speed is nuts and broken since sometimes you get caught sneaking around while behind cover which destroys immersion. At the end u just slaughter around anyway.

    Story telling is a bit better than in previous games but still not immersive enough. Some cut scenes are cringe and not even necessary. Even in the main missions.

    Gear and skillsystem is boring and doesnt give me anything special that makes me feel okay i choose the raven path. you will skill everything anyway so why 3 different paths at all?

    100000000 questionsmarks. some of them side events some of them collecting stuff, bandit and animal camps as always and so on.

    Modern day still not important in the game sadly.

    Immersion breaking bugs and mechanics like getting attacked while following npcs in questlines, getting stuck in haystacks when doing a leap of faith and crashes inclusive.

    For real, 2020 is not a good year. Odyssey was better in all aspects. Game feels emptier. It generally feels like less story/quests, more areas to search like a Dyson vacuum.

    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]
