    Лучшая игра трилогии, все сделали на высшем уровне, и максимально удачно(для меня) выбрали протоганиста, который не обязан выполнять побочки, чтобы быть хорошим. Советую пройти игру

    Just came here to say that i'm really enjoying this game, i have power level 54 right now, so there's so much to do still, but i'm already like over 20 hours in.

I have tried to explore most of the map, overall it's well designed, but ocean seems kinda empty? Did i miss something? No giant squids? Come on, this game needs giant squids, it's perfect for that. Most Kraken myths come from Norway region and it's very obvious that Kraken was likely just very large giant squid. At least that's what i like to believe, it makes perfect sense, because they are very similar. Giant squid is very much real, so i'm not sure why all games are avoiding it, past Assassin's Creed games have had giant squid easter eggs, like in Black Flag, so why not this time? Specially when region is absolutely perfect for that. Anyway other than this, it's nice game, beautiful graphics.… Expand

    Already have a feeling i'm gonna play this for very long time, it reminds me mixture of AC Unity and AC 4 Black Flag. Unity because parkour and darker overall tone and Black Flag because huge open world with so much places to explore and discover. Can't wait to see what they do with Paris or Ireland.

    Reminds me Unity in some parts, specially tone wise, it's darker than Odyssey. As fan of Unity is appreciate it a lot. Also parkour is back, story is fun, but my favorite part so far has been just endless exploring. Can't wait to see what they do with Paris and Ireland.    … Expand

    As a long time Assassin's Creed fan i'm loving this one. World is so well designed, graphically stunning (Specially on PC maxed out, not that stunning on ps4). I have both versions, so when people say that graphics aren't that good, that means they haven't seen PC or PS5 versions, because these versions look incredible.

    Of course this one deserves 10/10, i'm not saying it's 10/10 game, more like 8. This one is actually solid game and haters are trying to bring it dow. If any game deserves 10/10 right now it's AC Valhalla. Without these 10/10's this score would be under 6, because there's so many absolute shtheads who just give it 0 or 1. That's pathetic.

    To anyone who is new to Assassin's Creed series : There's 100s of hours gameplay footage of this game on youtube. Watch it before you buy it! If it doesn't interest you, nobody is forcing you to buy it. It's great game but clearly not for everyone. I refuse to believe that someone who watched trailers, watched gameplay, bought it and then gives it 0 or 1. It doesn't even make sense.

    Okay i have to get this out. I'm getting psychically tired of people hating Ubisoft. Like it's not even funny anymore. I'm just completely done with this. For some reason this "group of people" thinks it's completely fine to sht on their games every year. But when Rockstar fcks up or milks their game for 7 years, everyone is just silent. That's just complete hypocrisy on so many levels. ByOkay i have to get this out. I'm getting psychically tired of people hating Ubisoft. Like it's not even funny anymore.

But when Rockstar fcks up or milks their game for 7 years, everyone is just silent. That's just complete hypocrisy on so many levels. By the way i'm saying all this, while Rockstar is one of my favorite gaming companies, but i'm honest, unlike these losers who think it's fine to hate Ubisoft. Unlike other companies Ubisoft ALWAYS releases their games Day 1 on EVERY platform. Rockstars takes 1-2 maybe 3 years for PC version and they STILL fcked up with RDR2 PC version. Nobody shakes a head. Ubisoft releases not perfect, but perectly playable (at least with any RTX card) game and people whine and complain like it's worst thing that has ever happened. It's just insanely, insanely pathetic how these absolute losers act. I literally hate them, i'm not even hiding it. If you are Ubisoft hater, i hate you. There was this one person on youtube comparing Valhalla graphics to 2013 game and saying it looks like sht. That's complete, absolute next level lies. From graphical standpoint this game looks incredible. I'm just so done with this hate and it has to change, something has to change.… Expand

    Ubisoft is one of the most important gaming companies ever. That's absolute fact and absolutely nothing will change that. They release multiple games every single year, every year.

Then there's this group of idiots who sht on all their games, while at the same time hyping up companies that release 2 games in ten fcking years. Ten years. It's not me hating on "CDprojectred", hell no, i like them very much. My point is that without Ubisoft, gaming landscape would be incredibly empty. Imagine world without Far Cry's Assassin's Creed's, Watch Dogs, Ghost Recon's, Division's, Rainbow Six and so many more. There has to be some company that makes AAA games while these other companies makes two games in 10 years. How is it so hard to understand? Without Ubisoft there would be basically nothing, but endless multiplayer games and "Marvel's Avenger's" type of trash. That's not the world i wanna live in. I wanna live in world full of tons of different games each year. Of course there's also this bunch on sonyfanboys (again not talking about people who own playstation, talking about fanboys, i own playstation as well) that act like only games worth playing are console exclusives, that let's be honest are usually story simulators full of endless cutscenes, these are more movies than games, i personally want actual games ya know (and yes there are also good ones like Bloodborne.)
    Everyone acts like life lasts forever and it's cool to endlessly whine about some companies while waiting 10 years for a game from another company. All we have is 100 years (usually way less) and then it's over. Forever. So instead of constant whining, either enjoy the game or just don't play it, if you don't like it. It's that simple.    … Expand

    AC Valhalla has very big map and it's very long game, so basically if you don't like long game, there's no point trying this one. But if you do like long games, it's very solid. One of the better AC games imo.

    Classic AC elements like hidden blade / Hood are back and i'm very happy for that, finally.
    Story is from average to actually pretty good. Depends on what quests you do and what choices you make. There's lots of different weapons and hoods.

    Could i have asked a bit more from this one? Honest answer is, NO. It has so much already, but people who don't explore will never find these things. Their loss.

    London was little bit disappointing, other that it has some decent parkour areas, but what wasn't disappointing? Pretty much everything else. Would recommend if you like assassin's creed games.

    I'm usually critical with games, specially new ones, but i can't think of anything from AC Valhalla that stood out to me as "horrible or extremely bad". I actually have so much fun with it. There's always something to do or somewhere to go and i love it. I bet people who want games to over quickly will hate that, but they should already know what assassin's creed 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]
