    I’m a fan of Assassins Creed games and possibly one of the few that like the bigger, open world stage. I take my time, I make myself a mug of tea, I pause for thought and enjoy the digital created world. This is a good game with so much to do. I’m not a fan of the combat system and preferred Odyssey’s approach, but overall this is an excellent addition to the franchise.

I have a long way to go until I finish the story, but my time so far (20 hours in) has been engrossing with moments of sheer joy. One extra point is that PC optimisation needs some work which is a shame seeing as the game had a long development time.… Expand

    Major improvement from Odyssey. While combat is only slightly improved, the questing & gear progression feel more satisfying now.

    I really struggled with the first day of play, coming from a playthrough of AC:Black Flag. The differences in control scheme and the way the world works (parkour, exploration and combat) made me initially wary.

    The graphics are of course phenomenal and never-before seen, but what really stands out after spending some time going back and forth between Valhalla and older games is that the integration of storylines works much better than for instance in Odyssey or Black Flag - it feels a lot less as if I am checking off boxes or following the same set of random quests, and much more like a natural extension of exploring a gigantic world.    … Expand

    Valhalla took both concepts of the early AC games and the direction of Origins/Odyssey. The rpg elements in Origins/Odyssey were fresh bad badly executed. The loot felt never rewarding, the auto scaling enemys made it even worse. I missed the "Zelda" like feeling of unique, handplaces items in the world.

    There are a LOT of weapons scattered around the world map. But all handplaced. Its really motivating to explore the world, raid monastery's to upgrade your village or do the world events for xp.

    The story was outstanding for todays standards in my opinion. And if you are in viking mythology you will really have a good time.

    They really did combined the best parts of both AC variants.    … Expand

    отличная игра, гораздо лучше прошлых серий. Часть изменений просто шедевральная, а первый же набег приведет вас в восторг. Вот бы они сразу так начали, а не тошнили с Одиссеями всякими.

    The 9th century dark ages England settings is just great, supported by a well done graphics and audio. The ambience is incredibly immersive.
    As for the gameplay it's an AC formula overall. A huge skill tree and many different abilities make it really fun to play and allow different builds.

    Игра достойная. Чувствуется работа над ошибками. По мне это лучший ассасин за долгое время. Внятные диалоги, в Одиси их просто невозможно слушать, будто кто озвучивал и не видел, что он озвучивал. Механика боя напоминает казуальный Sekiro с появлением в игре парирования.

Также очень приятно выглядит цвет игры, он теперь приглушенно темный, выглядит более реалистично чем в ярких предшественниках.
    Из минусов можно отметить сюжет, ну не держит он в тонусе, хотя кто играет в ассасин ради сюжета? Тем не менее мне куда интереснее строить свой город, чем искать свою мать/отца.
    Также не очень проработан интеллект защитников при набегах, иногда они просто стоят, а ты их рубишь.
    Мелочи что понравились:
    -Нужно поесть чтоб подлечиться
    -Твой персонаж устает в бою
    - В холодной воде ты мерзнешь

    Качественная работа над ошибками, в неё действительно интересно играть. Но я всё же надеюсь что это последняя часть на данном движке, и после неё будет настоящий некст-ген как в своё время было с Unity.

    Having soooooo much fun with this game! Keeps getting better and better the further you get into it too. Little buggy here and there, but nothing game breaking that I've encountered, besides some crashing. The HDR was also really difficulty to get looking right, but when it is set right it looks really amazing.

    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]
