    Why so many negative reviews? AC Valhalla at least in my opinion is very good AC game. Way better than Odyssey or even Origins.

    assassin's creed is back and better than ever!!! Good - graphics, story, world, enemies
    Bad - some minor bugs, nothing bad.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla has 3 (at least so far) beautifully crafter maps, each one has it's own tone. Voice acting is good, graphics are amazing at times, runs well.

    So far i'm very happy with AC Valhalla, beautiful open world, lots of places to discover and explore, cities look interesting enough, story is mostly cool.

    I play this game on older version of ps4, have more then 150h of playing time and I would give it 10/10 if there is more customise of armour like in odyssey and deeper relationships! I didn't have any bugs but game did crashed more than 10 times in really delicately situations! For me this is best game this year (and I'm playing cyberpunk ).

    Graphics looks fantastic, stunning beauty of details even for my old ps4. Efect after water scenes are fantastic specially on legendary weapons! Legendary weapons are so awesome specially puzzles and cut scenes for it. Puzzles in this game sometimes made me stop and really think and i love it. I was afraid that there will be so much fighting that i wouldn't have AC feeling but I ended most of game in stealthy mood and those fights. You really can be assassin's creed stealthy guy/girl and fearless Viking in same afternoon! Voice acting for female is fantastic!!!
    Story is brilliant, heartbreaking sometimes and serious but ridiculous in same time...
    And you explore much more then England and Norway and i was so happy when I found new additions on map and atlas!
    I absolutely love settlement addition on ac and this is awesome. Feels really like home. Love npcs and I'm just hoping that you will be able to explore deeper some npc specially one that os in romantic relationship with main characters. I love new version of side quests and find them more enjoyable and fun in this game. I jist love to call my horse and exploring open world even hours after story. I will definitely play DLC for this game!    … Expand

    Graphically very beautiful game, easily one of the best assassin's creed's and also one of the best PC games of 2020 alongside Doom Eternal and Hades.

    Darby and his team did it, Assassin's Creed feels like Assassin's Creed again!
    Also, the map is really diverse, loot now has meaning and abilities make more sense than in Odyssey. May not be totally like the old games, but it is a step in the right direction and a fun game on its own

    This can easily be the best AC game ever. It truly is a masterpiece. Few weak points in this game won't bother the experience.

    +Theme, scenery, musics. Epic.
    +Combat; new abilities feels diverged, alive.
    +Side quests are not repetitive, all quests are unique.

    -Performance is questionable on pc
    -Combat AI is weak.

    yes you don't play an assassin, but how they mix the assassins with the Danes is brilliant, anyone who has played the assassins creed games or who is into the Viking history I would recommend this

    Assassins Creed Valhalla is a valiant effort to make a Vikings + Assassins Creed mash up. Takes creative liberties like all games but stays close to reality in some departments.

    The franchise returns to its roots and without a doubt it is the best of the trilogy.
    It starts in a way that motivates you to follow the story but at the end just feel empty, without any resolution. I know this is to continue the franchise and develop more games, but that gripping story feels even useless because it's there just for filling and don't have any impact in the game.

The next morning when I went to go play again, I couldn't get past the loading screen. Nothing changed, nothing updated. It just decided to stop working.

    Played the game for 3 hours no problem. Close the game go to sleep (turn off computer, no updates), now it will stay stuck at launch screen. Tried another computer same thing, opens then won't. Think about it like this surprise gift... might work, might not after 70 hours. Literally no support from the developers.

    This is not an RPG, this is a puzzle game. For every one minute of combat or story you are going to spend 20 minutes doing puzzles. EVERYTHING you do is locked behind a puzzle. The puzzles aren't even fun, usually it's tracking down a firepot. After the 1000th firepot you get kind of tired of them.

    Barely any story, and the settlement-making aspect is not enough to make up for the fact that not much else is new. It’s a fine AC game - just much more boring than what I expected after a two year wait. Lots of bugs and crashes. The graphics and designs are quite nice, the world itself is well built.

    I will not put a critic about how good this game is. There already are so much 10 out of 10 reviews here.

    But I would try to share three small advices to make the game better. Surely play it on the hardest difficulty and this for all (combat, exploration, assassination), disable the compass and use the crow to direct you and, most important, use your competence points only when    I will not put a critic about how good this game is.

    Poor optimisation? Kidding me? This game runs perfectly fine compared to optimisation nightmare that is Cyberpunk 2077. But difference here is that Ubisoft game's development takes usually 2-3 years, but Cyberpunk 2077 had 8 years to make it good and it still barely runs on high-end videocards.

    It's absolutely pathetic that people whine about Ubisoft's optimizatsion, while their games are perfectly playable. But they hype Cybertrash 2077 to moon and back while this game gets 39fps with gtx 1070 and looks like trash. It's over.

    If you hate this game that means you also hate Origins and Black Flag, because Valhalla is direct inspiration from these. And if you hate Black Flag your opinion means absolutely nothing to do, so there's that.

    I bet some people are pissed that CyberBug 2077 turned out to be complete failure and now they come here to dislike Valhalla. So typical, but thankfully Valhalla already was huge success and there's absolutely no way anyone will lower these user scores for Valhalla. AC fans will protect this game forever.

    I know it is a low score and maybe not a very objective review since I am comparing it with other AC games before it (specially Odyssey) so, it is full of game breaking bugs, crashes, getting stuck in narrow spaces that either require manual restart or causes death after a while, it can even happen 3-4 times in one hour.

Comparing the characters to Kassandra for example, they are too much of a lifeless brute, you cannot feel for them. I heard historical accuracy something as an argument but that is completely BS from Ubisoft when you think about how much SF is in the game. The world is too boring, you don't find very interesting characters along the way, there are too many "secrets" that you are taunted to discover just to see a bunch of resources and too many skill points and a big skill point tree that can get hard to follow. The "puzzles" are extremely repetitive too and one of the worst things of all is how meaningless assassinating an order member is. Most of the times you can find order members just going about their life totally unprotected and they are so easy to kill that you can do it by shooting an arrow at them while running. In their purgatory style confrontation they give you the usual generic remark about how good they feel that they did something important. I haven't finished the game yet but I have covered about 75% of the zones. I still hope that it can deliver the wow/wtf moment.
    The only positive thing is that you get to see some cool medieval scenery if you are a sucker for that like me.    … 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.

    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]
