    I think this is the best the AC-RPG combination could offers in term of gameplay and plot-wise. The combat feel more grounded now and while for most of the time it still feel very easy there are some occasion where it requires patience and precision. The enemies are less spongy and there are more variations than just the classic warrior-archer archetype.

The enemies are less spongy and there are more variations than just the classic warrior-archer archetype. But, I gotta say the strong point for Valhalla, aside the combat and hidden blade return, is the story but it takes a while for it to come together, so I understand why some people feel bored and I don't blame them this is something that Ubisoft has to work on for the next installment. If you're a long-time fan and despise the new RPG style I won't recommend this game but I do encourage you to check the first civilization, Aelfred and modern setting story! It explains a lot of things that we don't quite understand in the pre-RPG AC games.… Expand

    Really good plot, huge and detailed open world. Really nice graphics for a cross-gen game. For me loose one point for the technical problems at the launch.
    A slap for the ones that who have been saying that the AC saga is dead.

    A perfect blend of old and new AC mechanics. A bridge to the next gen. Every quest is wholesome and organic. Satisfying combat. Gorgeous setting. Runs well on my 1070 PC.

    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

    Openworld: Where to begin!! I always believe when it's come to build an open world UBISOFT knows how to nail it. The open world is huge and there is a lot of stuff to do in it.

    AC Valhalla almost feels like "Thank You" letter from Ubisoft to all their fans that have supported them past 7 years. It's truly amazing game and there's nothing more that pisses me off than these absolute nolife losers who give zeros without even caring about this series or buying it. I wish all the worst in your lives.

It's easily one of the best games of 2020, there's not even much competition. Like of the few games that can compete with this (from 2020) is Final Fantasy VII Remake and maybe Doom Eternal, that's literally it. These two are completely different games from AC Valhalla, so it's almost unfair to compare them, but all of them are quality games.… Expand

There's absolutely no question that i'm bigger AC fan that he could ever dream to be. Calling Valhalla garbage is biggest joke in years. Valhalla is easily better than both Origins and specially Odyssey. Valhalla is first AC game in long time where it has been really interesting to finally explore the open world. You mentioned how interesting pyramids were in Origins, well of course. But here the thing, they were one of the few interesting things about Origins. Most of it was boring empty desert. I don't hate Origins, but it wasn't as interesting as Valhalla. Valhalla has way better story, better character and better open world. You said that England doesn't have landmarks or places to explore. Kidding me? London? Stonehenge? Huge castles? Mountains in Norway? There's so much to explore. Valhalla is easily one of the better designed maps Ubisoft has ever done, just behind Black Flag. There you go. You said that you laugh at people who think Origins is meh, well i laugh at you saying that Valhalla is garbage. There's clearly, very clearly more people who like Valhalla than Origins. Valhalla was biggest PC launch for Ubisoft EVER. It had over 2 million players in launch month alone. Jor Raptor gets 100 000s views on almost every Valhalla video he makes. People very clearly like this game and many have said that they absolutely love Valhalla map designs. Showing your "poll" as some evidence is BS, because most people answered that they haven't even played this game, but you said that people agree with you. Hell no. Thankfully you don't get that many views, so i don't really care that much, but this one video made me write this, because it was just too much nonsense. If you can have your BS opinion, then i have every right to have my opinion about your video and point out false things. I have been Assassin's Creed supporter and fan over 10 years and i very likely like games that you don't even like, because you seem like somebody who hops on hype trains. You know very well that people who whine about new games are just nostalgia nerds who hate every game after AC 3. I have always liked Unity and even Syndicate and i strongly doubt you like them.

    Best Ac game since Black Flag. Incredible open world, actually two of them, because Norway and England are on separated maps. So much to discover, story is really enjoyable so far, voice acting for main character is perfect.

I'm honestly so happy that this game turned out be as amazing as it is. Voice acting is good, story is good, you can actually put your hood up/take it away at any moment. And the world. World is just....literally breathtaking. Not only have you England, there also Norway (not like it's enough already) as i understand they will add Ireland as well later on.

    I was expecting a slight improvement compared to Odyssey, we know what its flaws were, but the game surprised me, it exceeded my expectations, I find it interesting how they changed the gameplay of the character, I expected the same feeling when handling it as in Odyssey, but it feels heavier, more organic, looking a little more like Red Dead Redemption 2, it took me a bit to adapt butI was expecting a slight improvement compared to Odyssey, we know what its flaws were, but the game surprised me, it exceeded my expectations, I find it interesting how they changed the gameplay of the character, I expected the same feeling when handling it as in Odyssey, but it feels heavier, more organic, looking a little more like Red Dead Redemption 2, it took me a bit to adapt but after a while I ended up liking it, regarding the fights I also expected something very similar, and although visually it is very similar, when playing it it feels more real, it was a good improvement, on the other hand I like graphically although I do not feel it has improved much compared to the Odyssey, although I am surprised by the optimization, I can rarely play with the highest quality in AAA games and in this case I could , and it runs perfectly. Regarding the audio, I like it, it adds a lot to the atmosphere. In conclusion I give it a 9 because they are improving it but still does not have the quality of Red Dead Redemption 2, but I think they are on the right track.… Expand

    The Gameplay was as i was expecting from an assassin's creed game. I had to learn the combat system, but as usual, it went into memory fairly fast. {Story: Plot, Ending, etc} 10/10 – A Perfect Score. The Story was ok, in my opinion, the more lore heavy one than the past installments within a few years. The ending was    {Gameplay: Level Design, Combat Systems, etc}

    The Dialog was up to the usual assassin's creed standard.
    The cutscenes were well made.

    {Graphics: Aesthetics, animations, etc}
    8/10 – Good.
    A few issues when it came to the graphics.
    noticed quite a few visual glitches and bugs while playing through this game.

    {Technical: Performance, Bugs, etc}
    7/10 – Average.
    The Performance was alright with a RTX 3080 card, on high settings it did achieve 60fps stabile.
    as i mentioned in graphics, i encountered quite a few glitches and bugs.
    I also noticed boats randomly jump into the air and implode/explode, a few ground clipping and me getting stuck in various objects.
    This might be the Assassin's Creed game i have encountered the most bugs in.

    "8/10 – Good.
    These games leave me with something outstanding to remember them by, ideas for single-player or multiplayer, clever characters and writing,
    noteworthy graphics and sound, or some combination thereof. If we have complaints, there are more than enough excellent qualities to cancel them out. I recommend getting this game."

    Main story is surprisingly good and so are side activities. After Odyssey that was pretty terrible and i had me expectations really low, because i wasn't honestly expecting anything good anymore. This one really surprised me. Open world has also so much better design than Odyssey. More and more i play it, it's not even average, Valhalla is one one best in the series!

    Extremely fun game, if you actually know what you are doing. If you are used to linear games that tell you what to do at every second then don't even try AC Valhalla, it's clearly not for you. This games focuses on fact that YOU will explore the world, YOU will make YOUR own journey. If you don't like these kinds of games, there's no point trying it.

    Classic AC elements like hidden blade / Hood are back and i'm very happy for that, finally.

    I loved odyssey but this is probably the best AC game since Black Flag.
    For me, it's everything original AC 1 wanted to be.
    A lot of variety of the small towns cities enemy types etc.
    The game has a lot of enjoyable side quests and things to do in between the main story. Leveling up not annoying FOR THE FIRST TIME in a long time!

    Very enjoyable Assassin's Creed entry, i almost gave up after Odyssey because it just got boring. It had nice graphics for 2018, but story was lame and it had too much grinding. But Valhalla turns this ship around completely. Grinding is gone, older AC elements are back, map design is so much better than Odyssey, story is solid, voice acting is good. Would very much recommend trying this!

    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]
