    It's funny to see all these zeros from these fake accounts who don't even own the game. I'm sure real Assassin's Creed fans will come out of shadows to support this one, because it truly deserves it. It's one of the best in the whole series.

    I'm almost shocked how well Ubisoft delivered with this one. 2019 was awful for them, so i wasn't expecting much, but Valhalla so good. There's so much to do, voice acting is great, story is great, graphics are amazing. It's going to be something i'm gonna play until cyberpunk comes out. There's not much else anyway. Not interested at all in spiderman dlc.

    This is literally war between true Assassin's Creed fans and haters who want these new games to fail anyway. Most of them claim that they haven't liked any game from this series past 7 years. And they call themselves fans lol. If anything, their opinion means absolutely nothing, best they can do is just go away and let true fans enjoy the games. Nobody likes you.
    Like so many others have

    Like so many others have already stated, Ac Valhalla is amazing, so i'm not really going to write anything long. It's just that i would personally compare it to RDR2. Obviously they are different games, but in sense of storytelling, characters, open world they are equally great. In fact Valhalla open world is to me, more interesting than RDR2-s world, but i like them both.

    Ac Valhalla has insane amount of variety among different locations, more than any prior AC game could ever dream of. Even tho Norway is snowy/ice area i like it equally to England. Depends on my mood, if i wanna hang out in one area or another. Story (so far) is really good, so, so, so much better than Odyssey. Voice acting is great. Graphics are mind blowing.

Nothing game-breaking, just some bugs can happen, but not like all the time, it's rare to encounter them. Bugs are kinda expected from open world game of that scale. For example this launch is way, way smoother than RDR2 PC launch, not even comparable and i deeply love RDR2, just saying. Expand

    A pleasant surprise. I quickly got bored of odyssey but this is another level. The best parts is its setting, story and removal of side quests and the opting for world events which are great little additions. I hope this is going to be the new mainstream going forward.

    Combat feels slower which takes getting used to, but it suits the viking theme, although the enemies could be made to

    Game looks great and runs smooth (rtx 3080 80 - 90 fps average maxed out at 2k). Definitely feels a lot smoother relative to watch dogs legion!

    Well, I spent about 20 hours in the game, and this is probably the best part of the latest trilogy. There has never been such a sophisticated and cool open world in the series. The developers almost found the perfect balance between the old mechanics from the first parts and the GRPG mechanics. There is work to do, but it is definitely worth your attention

    Overall great game, big improvement on odyssey. New world is great and detailed and new story is incredible. Also settlement mechanic works very well.

    Amazing game, not best game ever obviously, but one of the best of 2020 absolutely.
    If you think it's boring, well too bad. Not every game needs to be Devil May Cry and i'm saying that as hardcore DMC fan.

    Absolutely masterful comeback from Ubisoft. It's kinda hard to believe it's the same company that made Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Watch Dogs legion was fine, but AC Valhalla is just something else. Depth of this game blows me away. At least now i have something to do until Cyberpunk 2077 (hopefully) comes out.

    I was playing it today for like 7-8 hours and i was thinking what would be this one word to describe this game -how about, incredible. I'm literally blown away in so many aspects of this wonderfully designed epic. Odyssey and Origins can't even get close to what this on did.
    Even fact alone that you don't need to grind anymore, at all, makes it just superb, but that's just one thing out

    Even fact alone that you don't need to grind anymore, at all, makes it just superb, but that's just one thing out of 20. I would start with graphics, could be one of the best i have ever seen in video games, Red Dead 2 blew me away and this one managed to do same. Let's be clear, Odyssey story sucked, Valhalla has actually good writing, good voice acting and it's actually interesting. I have heard some complain about combat, i personally like it. I don't think there's anything really wrong with it, but that's just my opinion.

    Surprisingly very good. Better than Odyssey, and just as good as Origins imo. Ubisoft combined some aspects of the old ACs and the new ones, and it works nicely. Great game.

    Haven't personally had any fps problems, but i play 1080p, so yea. I personally never cared about 4K or whatever. I tried to keep my expectations checked, but not only it delivered, it's more than what i could have even wanted from Assassin's Creed game. Without a question better than Origins and Odyssey. It's way more serious, darker and i love it.

    Absolutely amazing game that has huge interesting open world, tons of secrets / locations to discover, epic story, good combat, interesting characters. One of the best of 2020. I just love to get lost in that game world, explore not only England, but also Norway. Soundtrack/ambient music in this game one of the most relaxing stuff i have heard in a while.

    I bet there will be tons of people who wanna give this game 0 or 1 scores because they are empty, sad people who are not able to enjoy anything good. I will give 10 just for that, but i would give 10 no matter what to be honest. This game is truly amazing. I actually can't believe Ubisoft delivered that well this time. I was hoping it will be good, but wow.

    Game looks beautiful, the menus are well designed especially the graphics settings and the gameplay is fun. So far the story is interesting (in the animus, dont care about the outside world crap going on). The viking setting is really well done. The only bad thing is the voice actor for Tonna or is tone death.

    There's very clearly war between real Assassin's Creed fans and people who only liked first 2 games and think that now they can dictate what or how this series needs to be. Actual Assassin's Creed fans need to fight back now more than ever. Because this game truly deserves it and needs all the support possible.

    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]
