    Assassins Creed is my favrotie series of all time, so im harder on this series than I am with any other game.. and while Valhalla is a great game and my score will reflect that, as an assassins creed game, assassins creed Valhalla isa complete disappointment.
    Here you play as avore, becauseubisoft cares more about its precious sales you chose either man version or female version because ubisoft is afraid to commit and want to make everyone happy.. you set off on a Viking adventure to basically take over England during the dark ages.. and sadly this is more of a Viking game with assassins creed mechanics rather than an assassins creed game where you play as a Viking, the lore of the Templars and the assassins is there.. infct the whole uncovering the order side thing odyssey had going on is valhallas main focus, and I love that… however the game built around it is the most hallow money grab of a game in probably the entire assassins creed series… they sold you on Vikings, rob and pillage, this is fun about 0 times, its never fun going into an area for a raid, opening chests and collecting all of the loot, its repetive and bland, and that can be said for the entire game… im one to uncover every inch of an assassins creed game, read very document, platinum it.. but assassins creed Valhalla is so hollow that I found myself skipping through a lot of its dialog as the story is broken up into individual kingdoms you go out and help… this is less of an assassins creed game, you know.. a game where you relive memories of someone that was supposed to have actually existed to learn more about the orer and the places of the pieces of edden, and just a boring Viking game where you go from kingdom to kingdom taking care of that kingdoms individual problems, it’s a 70 hour long game of individual mini stories that by themselves could be okay experiences, but in an assassins creed game they feel like a waste of time not adding anything to the overall world of assassins creed, no one will remember Valhalla as a step forward for the series, infact in a lot fof places Valhalla steps back, for example its loot, there is next to none, yet you still collect it from time to time, its such an awkward system that you forget there are other weapons and armorus you can pick up.. youll mpost likely stick to the first or second piece of gear you find in the game and stick to that all the way through, especially thanks to the grind heavy upgrading system here that require a ridiculous amount of recourses to upgrade weapons… where Valhalla steps forward though is you making choices that actually matter, your choices have consequences, you have different paths with different characters you can go down that don’t feel empty like odyssey did.. but back to the intial point, this is great if assassins creed were an rpg seres set in different time periods… but its not, its meant to be an experience of a story already told, not an unwritten story of your grandpa and you get to chose if he banged other Vikings or not… tell me if avor was gay or not, don’t let me chose, again.. commit to a character, tell me their story… this is not a solution to the story telling critques players have.. this is assassins creed, not dragon age.. tell me the story as it happened… but this is thebiggest assins creed game to date, though bigger isn’t always better, another first, this s the first time I gave up on collecting all the things in an assassins creed game, for one,, again the world felt boring pointless and hallow, even the side quests that were supposed to be the talk of the town, except for the mini game orlog, it had its hooks in me like gwent, and I love hunting down the zealots of the land, bringing my back to the original assassins creed.. but the colelctables here, the game just makes you work too hard to get, one too many are locked behind story progress – why even put it on the map then… and evry other one ios locked behing an environment puzzle.. I don’t mind this eveyr once in a while , but map cleaning in assassins creed is a form of meditation, if I have to figure out how to get to literally every chest in the world, it isn’t meditation anymore, it’s a puzzle game outside of the story, no thanks. Also traversal here is probably the worst in the series too, its wakward, plenty pof annoying deaths at the hands of climbing, The biggest disappointment overall is this games story, the worst ending in history if you can even call it an ending and the outside of the animus world features the least likably protagonist of all time, smoking doesn’t make you look like a badass, it makes you look inconsiderate of the people around you, but again, assassins creed Valhalla is a great game, the combat is fun, you can go down different paths to play the way you prefer, brute, ranged, stealth, or a mix of all 3…

    Ofcourse tho, buy it on sale because i dont think its worth the full price.

    Les Vikings débarquent chez les Saxons dans cet opus des Assassin's Creed que j'attendais impatiemment. Celui-ci apporte quelques nouveautés, entre les pillages et la construction de son village. D'ailleurs les deux sont liés car c'est en allant piller les monastères notamment que nous pourrons obtenir des matériaux pour améliorer son campement. Malheureusement je n'ai jamais vraiment senti l'importance et les bénéfices de le développer. Par ailleurs, j'ai l'impression que la physique du jeu à changer, le personnage semble plus lourd qu'auparavant (ressemblant au mouvement d'un Red Dead II), j'aime assez ça d'autant qu'il reste un souple équilibriste capable de grimper partout. Il y a un ou deux passages que j'ai littéralement détesté, en Asgard via les quêtes de la cabane de la Volva. Je n'aime pas particulièrement le système de compétence également. Mis à part cela, le titre propose une aventure vraiment sympa, AC VALHALLA se place auprès des dieux de la mythologie dans le classement des bons action-RPG.

    My favorite Assassin's creed next to Black Flag. I enjoy the story and having less modern time stuff. I enjoyed the characters and how the gear system works. Quest variety is so much better. Also the game looks great. Plus I love the time period SKOL.

    This New AC world was great and detailed and this story was incredible, the upgrading and combat system was good. ~100 hours well spent. Although it was a bit buggy, but not game breaking.

    First of all, I am writing this review completely independently of AC Odyssey. Although many people say that Valhalla is very similar to Odyssey, not everyone plays this game as a serial. Maybe Valhalla could be the first AC game they played. However, I will mention the Odyssey part at the end.

    The most striking feature of the game is the art design. Ubisoft has managed to create a    First of all, I am writing this review completely independently of AC Odyssey. Although many people say that Valhalla is very similar to Odyssey, not everyone plays this game as a serial. Maybe Valhalla could be the first AC game they played. However, I will mention the Odyssey part at the end.

    The most striking feature of the game is the art design. Ubisoft has managed to create a world that looks very "beautiful", as it did in Odyssey. I say by suppressing the beautiful part because the game loses its authenticity because of this beauty. Although it is very pleasant to look around, it has an image that can upset some realists. Since I don't have such an obsession, I really enjoyed watching the surroundings. Although I like the snowy parts very much, I could not come across any snowfall in the game. Maybe it's not snowing in the game, but I hope it does. Although I think that the game has very good materials in terms of music, it is appropriate to say that these music were not used very successfully in the game. The game has a really interesting music, but this music does not play until the last mission, for example. While definitely noticing the ineffectiveness of the music in the game, it continued to be incredibly frustrating that the sounds the NPCs made had no meaning whatsoever.

    In terms of gameplay, although Valhalla does not come with very innovative mechanics, it is a game that manages to play itself. There are still three classes in the game, but if you level up enough, you can join all classes. Valhalla, which is much more wild than the previous game, does not miss such animations, but after a while you see them all so much that you wish you could turn them off in the settings. The skills that make the game really fun are very limited compared to Odyssey. So you can't use it as easily as before. In addition, the game is really easy in terms of numerical values. Be sure to play the game by keeping the difficulty high. The biggest shortcomings in terms of gameplay are the endless bugs and control weirdlings that cost me 10 hours of my 70 hours of gameplay. The game really has a hard time understanding what you are trying to do on the keyboard. Considering that one of the main elements of this game is platforming, this interrupts the gameplay sequences. In addition, errors that require you to constantly load your old save may cause you to close the game at any time.

    We wouldn't be wrong if we say that the only part of the game that got better after Odyssey is the story. Although I don't care about the so-called family story of Odyssey, which I can't even take seriously, it is definitely more enjoyable to manage our devoted brother Eivor, who is the 2nd king of the environment he is in, and who nevertheless works harder for his people than the 1st king and supports the 1st king on top of that. There are characters that show how close death is even to the main character, instead of the absurd characters who are resurrected just so that there is no deficiency in the family table, even though we kill like in Odyssey. Although you don't spend much time, the death of these characters definitely leaves something to you. It is also very nice to be asked to account for what you did in the game and to see what you did in the game, although it seems like it was taken from RDR2.

    So why is Valhalla disliked? Because according to Odyssey, there is no real development in the game. If you've buried more than 50 hours in Odyssey, you might question why they made this game. In addition to the fighting mechanics that you did not realize have changed, the castle sieges, which turned into meaningless field battles, were just as ridiculous and you could complete the missions by simply opening the castle doors without killing anyone. In addition, the skills that make Odyssey really fun cannot be used as easily as Odyssey in Valhalla. Definitely do not play this game after Odyssey, make sure to squeeze in a few games. The biggest and most beautiful difference of Valhalla from Odyssey is that the story is more brutal and serious.

    Valhalla is a really good game when evaluated independently of the game before it, but was this game really needed after Odyssey?    … Expand

    Chapter 2: Is it good?

    AC Valhalla has lots to love. Snowy Norway, Colorful England, Dream world, North America. Each of these places have their own feels and are unique in their own way. It's not best in the series, but it's in my top 5 as of right now. Despite lacking in some ways, it's best of last three games.

    Chapter 3: Story, Main Character, Graphics, Music/Sound.

    Story is long and has it's good moments and faults, but to avoid spoilers, i can't really write anything else about that. Main character "Eivor", specially male Eivor has one of the better voice actors AC has had in long time. His serious personality fits with this game well.

    Sound is okay, but music is very good. Graphics could be better, as RDR2 looks better, but it's still acceptable.

    Conclusion : Overall enjoyable game, not best, far from worst.    … Expand

    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.
