    TLDR: More of the same formula that was established in Origins and Odyssey, with some expanded systems and features, but don't purchase it if you're looking for something entirely different or didn't like the previous two games. Play at your own pace and only play the content that you want to complete, otherwise it can become tedious and a bit of a slog to get through.

    PROS:
    - Very good worldbuilding and sense of exploration that has been a highlight of the series since Origins
    - 9th century Norway and England are fantastic and beautiful
    - Robust combat mechanics (if a little bit more glitchy and rough than Odyssey's more fluid animations)
    - Good weapon (duel wielding) & player customisation (i.e., hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, etc)
    - Decent story and voice acting for most important characters
    - Fun and interesting puzzles off the beaten path
    - Good RPG mechanics for upgrading character's skills (bit hard to navigate the skill tree, though)

    CONS:
    - Too much filler content (completionists will hate playing this game!)
    - Armour sets are a bit dull
    - Some character models and animations aren't as detailed as those in Origins or Odyssey (especially non-important NPCs)
    - No naval combat (if you liked the ship-to-ship battles in Odyssey, then you'll be disappointed)
    - Raiding can be fun, but a bit repetitive at times
    - Settlement upgrade system seemed a bit of a chore to me; didn't really feel invested in it (although it was nice to see how your settlement changed over time)    … Expand

    Good game. The game world is very rich. The atmosphere, many game mechanics, stories and much more. 100 in 1. It is rather difficult and time-consuming to list all the possibilities at once. Although the previous part about the Odyssey is my favorite, I also really liked Valhalla. An excellent choice for those who like long adventures.

    I got more bugs playing this game in 2021 than in CP2077 on release. Boring story, and dumb cringy side quests I regret about spending my money and time on this game.

    По количеству багов оставляет киберпанк далеко позади, в любой момент вылет из игры может повредить все ваши сохранения. Нет смысла тратить время на игру, которую невозможно пройти

    Как игра про викингов весьма хороша 7-8/10
    Как серия ассасинов , не о чем 5-6/10

    Rather disappointed. I really enjoyed Origins and Odyssey, so I expected more from Valhalla. Combat is just awful - constantly getting knocked down, and the controls are so sluggish. And some quests are just tedious. They really need to do more beta testing next time and be sure the game is actually fun to play.

    Valhalla is an unpolished, messy of an AC.
    The sound, still after months after release's still awful. The combat and stealth are the worse we've had on an AC game. The story is god awful, along with the crappy voice acting. It's unfortunately really bad. I love AC series, loved Odyssey, but this one is just trash.
    Don't buy this game, it's not worth. Ubisoft standards are lowering more and more.

    It's a decent step-up from Odyssey, which leaned too far into the Modern Games' RPG Mechanics with a far too non-standard deviation from the classic series' abilities.

    Unfortunately, that is all I can say. I truly desire for when we can receive a perfect Modern AC Game, but it seems unlikely as of writing this.

    As in Odyssey, buildings and parkour is absolutely shunned in-favor of the combat system. Don't mistake me, combat in the modern games is quite fun, but it's not what should be leaned on in a game about assassination, or at least supposed to be...
    Aside from this, it is a decent game as a modern Lite-RPG Hell-scape. The story and quests are slightly padded but overall does not entirely overstay it's welcome.

    The Wrath of the Druids DLC is better than the base game, but not by much. I wouldn't recommend the DLC if you don't like the base game.
    The Siege of Paris (DLC) dragged on to little benefit, truly strengthened my distaste for the game as a whole. Recommend playing it before Druids so you have a decent taste in your mouth on finishing.    … Expand

    Better graphics than Elden Ring, that's for sure. Overall this game surprised me, it's not best AC game, but it has more to offer than Odyssey or Origins. Story is not most interesting thing in this game, but open world and exploration makes this game solid. I still wish they would go back to Black Flag/Unity era tho.

    И вот прошли 140 часов - и вот они 100%, собственно после этого и можно трезво оценивать игру.
    Не понимаю как люди скачут из крайности в крайность (оценки 0 и 10) без каких-либо аргументов и выделения +/- игры.
    А теперь, наверное, нужно рассказать почему именно 5/10, а не 7 или 8? 1. Лор и история: если рассматривать игру как некоторое ответвление серии AC - то тут большая беда.. да,    И вот прошли 140 часов - и вот они 100%, собственно после этого и можно трезво оценивать игру.

    А теперь, наверное, нужно рассказать почему именно 5/10, а не 7 или 8?
    1. Лор и история: если рассматривать игру как некоторое ответвление серии AC - то тут большая беда.. да, есть раскрытие некоторых моментов и связывание данной игры с миром AC, но это лишь в записях и не более. Если говорить про сюжет, то он действительно местами замечателен, при 2м прохождении ты всё больше и больше замечаешь делатей, зная конечно же концовку (особенно это видно в диалогах).
    Но кроме этого на протяжении игры мы видим как меняется Эйвор в лучшую сторону и начинает мыслить иначе (свой взгляд на действия Незримых и т.д.), но зачем же Ubisoft будут это развивать? Конечно же под конец диалогами и действиями ГГ они и это испортят!
    2. Дополнительные задания: всё стало лучше и тут скорее можно поставить "+", чем "-", НО есть 1 но.. все эти задания максимально не серьёзные в отношении мира и выглядят как насмешкой над игрой и миром.
    3. Баги: это то, за что стоит уже пинать Ubisoft.. Вы серьёзно? Как можно давать 10/10 когда который год из-за Ubisfot Connect вылетает игра, т.к. не смогла записать сейв на облако?! Максимально кривые звуки первый месяц; невозможность выполнения некоторых заданий (а в мире они есть); невозможность отключить ну уж очень долгие анимации добивания; - и это всё либо не правят вовсе, либо откладывают в долгий ящик. Зато поправить ОПИСАНИЕ персонажа из-за которого в Twitter кто-то ущемился -> сразу правим..
    4. Дополнения: будем честны, но дополнения максимально слабые. Эти DLC максимально выглядят как выкачивание денег ("привет EA" говорит Ubisoft, постукивая снизу). Если 1е дополнение как-то и можно пережевать, то 2е - это крах. Оно абсолютно не запоминается, в нём нет попросту ничего. Потеряете ли вы что-то если не будете их проходить - НЕТ. Ах да.. забыл сказать, что прохождение DLC занимает всего несколько часов.
    5. Магазин (за реал): тут и добавлять нечего, сразу огромный "-" и можно спокойно забывать про 10/10. В сингл играх не должно быть такого и за такое компании нужно пинать, но почему люди это едят то?! Почему Вы готовы платить свои деревянные за пони, которое ну не ввязывается никак в этот мир???

    И подводя итоги: игра действительно была замечательна вне серии AC (+если убрать донат магазин), можно было бы смело ставить 8-9 из 10.

    Пугает, что Ubisoft скатывается в яму из которой очень тяжело будет выбраться, ей нужна лишь прибыль и прибыль, более ничего. Она готова убить серию игр ради прибыли. И самое печальное - люди это принимают. К сожалению, таким темпом следующая игра действительно может стать игрой-сервисом благодаря нам - игрокам.    … Expand

    Main story is too long and boring. In Odyssey very short main story, in Origins too, but so much more better than this one. I don't understand why game creators copy Kassandra from Odyssey to this game. It's almost the same character model. Randvi is very good character, but why is copy paste?

    It's a hell of a cool story when I watched the video, and when I started going through the game myself, I saw even better than everything stunningly gorgeous in the game and an amazingly big story like the big Valhalla game itself. This is one of the best Viking editions and an amazing story! I am very glad that I have officially purchased this edition!

    Haven't finished it yet, but i can say i have had so much more fun with this, than i did with Odyssey and Origins combined. Valhalla finally feels like actual AC game. Specially after they added Assassin outfits. There used to be some bugs, but most of them are fixed by now. Great game 100 more time piayers!

    My first AC in years since the first one. I gotta say I'm impressed. The storyline that aboards begin pretty interesting, also sometimes the game feels like another game when visiting unique places, taking apart of the viking to a next level. I'll would give the game a nine if wasn't because the combat it's not very well polish but I do enjoy it yet so... Ubisoft finally is raising again.

    Of course, there is a large game world, hundreds of game time and a diverse plot and missions of the game, which makes the game not forgettable cool and exciting.

    Its not on Steam therefore I give 0. I wont buy it on some garbage epic games store. And stop making some kind of MMO RPG out of the game, there's only one name left from the Assassins and the hidden blade of the main character, I want to kill enemies with one blow from above, as before, and not spend half a day on it.

    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]
