    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.

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

    Ulan yan görev yapması o kadar keyifli ki, tüm yan görevleri bitirdim neredeyse. Ana hikayede ilerlemek de bir o kadar sıkıcı, önemsiz uzun diyaloglar, saçma sapan görevler.

    It is the most boring AC game, I ever played. I am trying to finish it since one year and each time I try, I don't want to play it again. P.S: I played all AC games. After I purchased this game, I started to play AC Origins, which I bought many years ago. I could finish that in one week, as like all other ac games

    Exceptional game, far and away the best of the most recent trilogy, and easily the best since Black Flag. Beautiful, relaxing, and fun, with combat that finally feels deep and challenging.

    This game is underrated, probably the best rpg of this year. Lots of content and things to do with good narrative and loot progression.

    I get how people might give this game a mediocre score, it is what it is, and different people have different tastes - but I do not get how this game would be worth giving a bad score.

    If you liked the open world of The Witcher, and the combat system of Odyssey (though in Valhalla the combat feels better and more fluid), then you will love this game as long as you can overlook the painstakingly mediocre Assassin story (although the "Viking" part of the story is very well made).    … Expand

    This is an amzing game, there are a lot of bugs but the story; gameplay and grafics are amazing and that is all that counts, there is so much to do in this game with great combat, viking lore and music.

    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.

    Sin duda, AC: Valhalla es un muy buen juego. La cantidad de contenido que tiene es simplemente apabullante y mucho de ese contenido es de bastante calidad, incluso muchas de las tramas secundarias y eventos del mundo tienen su historia y su interés.

La cantidad de contenido que tiene es simplemente apabullante y mucho de ese contenido es de bastante calidad, incluso muchas de las tramas secundarias y eventos del mundo tienen su historia y su interés. La historia principal es obviamente la más interesante, y tiene bastante que contar y un protagonista muy bien creado con buenos personajes alrededor. Las mecánicas de juego continúan lo visto en Oddysey y lo desarrollan un poco, pero no demasiado; y si bien hay cosas que se pueden pagar con dinero real, lo cierto es que no son nada necesarias si eres un poco dado a hacer mucho del contenido.

    Gráficamente, el juego está muy bien, con una alta calidad en la ejecución de todos los apartados artísticos. Aunque, personalmente, a nivel de diseño se me hizo un tanto repetitivo, la Inglaterra medieval no tiene una gran variedad de localizaciones ni sitios especialmente impresionantes o chulos, y eso la hace mucho menos atractiva que otros lugares visitados en la saga. A nivel de sonido es muy bueno, especialmente cuando suena la música de Wardruna, pero todo desde las voces a los efectos funciona de maravilla. Eso si, hay que tener en cuenta que tiene una buena cantidad de problemas, desde pequeñas tonterías a salidas a escritorio.

    Por todo ello, sin duda es un buen juego de rol que vale la pena explorar y disfrutar. Un 8.

    En cuanto al DLC de Paris, personalmente me parece flojo en todos los aspectos. No malo, pero tampoco bueno y sin duda no tiene la cantidad de contenido que debería para el precio que tiene. Solo vale la pena si lo encuentras muy rebajado y tienes ganas de un poco más de AC: Valhalla.    … Expand

    A fun and engaging story, wide open world where you go go anywhere and do anything. Interesting side events and activities. Combat, while it can be buggy, is varied with different weapons and movesets. Great fun and a good buy.

    Me pasa que desde un tiempo hacia aquí los Assasins los veo un poco sin alma, aun así tiene cosas muy entretenidas y este en concreto no es un mal juego de vikingos pero me falta un algo, tiene muchas cosas buenas pero no me he conseguido meter en la historia.

    According to my prologue playing experience, I must note, that Ubisoft has completed a huge work with the mistakes of their previous parts, like Odyssey and Origins.

Less boring grind and more interesting side quests, more complicated and challenging battle system where you have to think and to react not to grind if you want to win. The absence of the tedious leveling system of Origins/Odyssey is also wonderful as for me. Also we have a full-value stealth system including the possibility of the instant kill of EVERY enemy by the hidden blade which is also perfect for me. The massive battles are perfect if to compare them with the Odyssey. Now we have a complete captivating castle sieges unlike the previous part where we had tedious battles of blue and red commands. Ubisoft tryes to make the Assassins' Creed franchise great again and that is good. The only minus for me are some graphic bugs and boring music. Maybe the open world is a little empty. So the real mark is 8/10, the game is not ideal of course, but I have seen here a lot of nonobjective negative comments, so that's why my mark is 10. However it is the best Assassin from the Black Flag times. Keep it up Ubisoft - that was a very pleasant surprise in this terrible year. Ну, а если вкратце и по-русски - это лучший ассасин со времен Черного Флага.… Expand

    Great game to spend time in November until Cyberpunk comes in December. Valhalla is graphically amazing. I have heard some people don't like combat that much, i personally like it, not sure what's the problem. Overall very good AC game, might be Ubisoft's best open world ever.

    Графика лучше, чем одиссея, на самом деле это похоже на настоящее следующее поколение. Озвучка намного лучше, чем «Одиссея». Миссии веселее, чем Одиссея. Паркур в миллион раз лучше, чем в «Одиссее». В основном да, это очень хорошо. Не позволяйте этим фальшивым нулям отвлекать вас.Графика лучше, чем одиссея, на самом деле это похоже на настоящее следующее поколение. Озвучка намного лучше, чем «Одиссея».

    I'm about 50 hours into the game, about to the point that you pick your first big kill of people, still loving it, I think you you can not play and just walk around and find fun things to do, the game is not one I want and get bored.

    Playing on XSX, the game is amazing. I've played every single Assassin's Creed game at launch, and this is the most happy I've been with any of them since Brotherhood. A big part of that is probably because I personally love Viking lore.

    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]
