    Microtransactions are getting worse and worse after the game is released. Unacceptable.

It seems they are trending in the direction of open scale combat and placing the role of an assassin on the backburner. Ultimately the identity of the assassins creed franchise is a confusing blend of gameplay that touches on open combat, stealth, & world exploration with decent scoring. If you dont change the recipe the formula will go stale... which is exactly how I feel about this franchise now. The game feels stale.… Expand

That is just one of many conglomerated choices much like the dual gender (they can read holographic memories from DNA but can’t tell a male pelvis from a female one) and of course the Sunny D commercial-like lineup of supporting characters. I am sure their various consultants and Twitterati appointments are well-paid and quiet for now.

    Even if this game’s only problems were just with the story and game play (new combat is dumbed down), this would be an average game. Of course, that is not the case. The PC port is, in typical Ubisoft fashion, terrible. You really should not expect competence after such a well-documented history of anything but. I will not bother knocking the technical problems because it is your own damn fault if you expect better.    … Expand

    In the opening (tutorial) hours, the game will instruct you to hit a button to smash a crate. I press the appropriate button to smash the crate, only to whiff harder than a 5-year old trying to play T-Ball.

I press the appropriate button to smash the crate, only to whiff harder than a 5-year old trying to play T-Ball. That, alone, is just a taste of the frustrations you shall encounter as you adventure across England. Later on in the game, you'll come across barred doors that need to be opened from the inside. You'll do this by destroying what appears to be a wooden beam locking the door from the inside. Simple, right? Not for me! All I hit is the open air and the lock stays in place until I have to pull out my bow. Or, how about the little beeping sound when you are trying to jump off a rock and the game won't let you? And let's talk about that camera with a mind of its own. Try calling your mount, and see what I'm talking about. Oh, and it's a joy when Eivor is telling his crew the STFU every time you come across a raid opportunity. Not to mention how often the longship would get hung up on the environment and I'd have to manually reverse course to continue on my way.

    It's not all annoyances and frustrations. The world is massive and beautiful. The missions are engaging and well written. The voice acting is excellent, and the music is exquisite! I also appreciate how the game encourages exploration.

    So, how would I rate AC: Valhalla over the course of my 100+ hour playtime? 51% fun/49% frustration! Would I recommend this title? Sure, just not at full price. Wait until all the DLC comes out and you can nab the whole package in a future Ubisoft sale or around $50!    … Expand

Боевые механики чуть-чуть подтянули, но для третье попытки - это очень слабый результат. Открытый мир пуст и неинтересен, потому что все это мы видели в Odyssey, все это мы видели в Origins. Больше скажу, в этой части Ubisoft умудрился облажаться даже в своей самой сильной стороне - это передача атмосферы и проработка сеттинга. В Origins эти 2 параметра на голову выше сделаны. Показав пару CGI-тизеров пару лет назад разработчики ввели в очередной раз всех в заблуждение, выкатив нам на употребление очередной плохо срежиссированный, конвейерный продукт Вы видели графику на простой PS 4 или на Xbox one? А требования системные? Видеокарта за 30 тысяч рублей тянет Origins на "ультра", Valhalla на "низких", а качество графики и технологичность идентичная!!! А видели ли вы то кол-во багов, которое есть в этой игре? А кто "вы" то, я здесь один! Потому что я единственный, кто ставит адекватную оценку игре, которая на ПК стоит всего лишь 2500 рублей, а про консоли я даже говорить не буду, мне жалко этих людей. Сколько можно уже поощрять подобные очень даже средние, посредственный игры. Вы вот 10ки ставите, вы хоть игру прошли до конца? Это средняя игра сделанная только ради продаж, и тому подтверждение - недавний отчет и комментарий руководства компании Ubisoft. Они заявили, что год у них самый прибыльный, и что они и дальше продолжат в том же духе делать игры так, как делают это сейчас, только еще больше, еще масштабнее и еще РПГшнее. Как вам, нравится?

    Positive:
    * decent graphics
    * easy to use controls
    * gameplay stays entertaining throughout

    Negative:
    * I would describe the narrative as soulless. I did not care for any character at any point
    * the sheer size of the map and quests is bloated. even then, few things to do outside of main quests feel rewarding
    * most jarring as an AC fan: the world feels less believable than fairly ever. i do not feel like i am in the viking age. i could excuse many small issues in previous titles as i still felt the core was thruthful and i felt in the world. i do not here.
    * the main quest: this is where most of any narrative falls or stands. in this case, well, it is somewhat refreshing not to search for the apple of all damnation. however, the alternative is just bland. invade england, take all. there was so much potential for ethical thoughts that are dear to the AC series. the church is corruptive but keeps order, the vikings are honest but destroy. however, nothing of that gets explored

    Summary:
    The series has strayed far from its core storytelling, but kept it s main user satisfactory gameplay. Graphics are decent (but far from jaw-drapping), gameplay smooth (but ultimately nothing new) and the world somewhat big but also bland. It is fun to go around, but should be condensed to 1/3 of it s play or boosted by actual narrative    … Expand

    I don´t know why lots of people hype this game. There are just a few things i like about it:

The ending in the modern day is really interesting, although theres almost no modern day stuff in Valhalla. Now lets start with all that bad stuff... 1. There is    I don´t know why lots of people hype this game. There are just a few things i like about it:

    1. Theres an ability that allows u to assassinate your opponent with a guaranteed one hit if u manage to time it perfectly
    2. The ending in the modern day is really interesting, although theres almost no modern day stuff in Valhalla.

    Now lets start with all that bad stuff...

    1. There is no linear story. You just have to complete every saga (Theres a saga for every area, so way too many) and it feels like you do side-mission like stuff. There are just a few missions where i didnt have the urge to just skip everything. It makes it even worse that you need about 70 hrs to complete every mission wich is doing the same stuff over and over again - worse than odyssey. But the worst thing is, that from the 70 hours playing the campaign you have to ride your horse 20 hrs because lots of missions take you to another location for each step.
    2. Its a game about vikings, not assassins. Origins was about the beginning of the brotherhood, odyssey about the isu. Valhalla was basically just a viking game that could have existed as a non assassins creed game if u would take away a few missions.
    3. BUGS. I dont want to talk about small bugs like people teleporting or getting thrown a mile into the air. I talk about not being able to end the Story because the last mission is bugged and there is no way to restart it. After 100 hrs of playing the game im unable to even finish it, even after years!#
    4. Gameplay. Again, its not Assassins Creed. Yeah, Black Flag had lots of not Assassins Creed like stuff and Edward Kenway was more like a Pirate than an Assassin but at least it had good stealth mechanics. Assassins WERE NOT warriors. The stealth mechanics where so bad i just rushed into the enemies to kill everyone that is in there.

    It´s just so sad. I was not happy with Odyssey and thought it could only get better if they would get back to the core of assassins creed but this game is even less an Assassins Creed than Odyssey was. If u just want to play the game because youre a fan and at least want to know if there is something important that affects future AC Games: Don´t do it, please! Just see what happens in the present day on YouTube and you know basically everything you have to know. This game is the worst thing Ubisoft could do.    … Expand

    Graphics is more realistic but colours are extremely oversaturated with drastic colour changes to the point that turning the camera results in repainting the entire world from green/blue to yellow/red. Also sunlight and beams are so strong to the point the they will hurt your eyes...

    Every action has been slow down and and received some form of inertia, which makes everything feel slow, heavy and clunky, from simple movement, to changing direction, climbing and fighting, everything feels like a chore.
    To perform some simple actions, like looting a big chest, you now have to call for help and wait until a member of your crew arrives, which is very annoying.
    Opening crates and or harvesting is no longer possible, you have to smash the containers or the mineral nodes, wait for them to be destroyed, wait for the loot to pop up and finally spam the loot button cause you can no longer grab everything nearby with a single action...also hitting a container is a freaking lottery because the aim is completely messed up and your character constantly misses the object that is right in front of him.

    Combat has lost its flow, it's no longer fast paced and has gained a useless stamina bar, also you can no longer craft arrows for whatever reason...!?
    The game constantly take away the control of the camera from you, which could be fine for console but it's extremely annoying for PC; for instance every time you run and call your horse, the camera automatically rotates and show you the freaking ground forcing you to stop and wait for the horse to arrive...and if you try to fix the camera, it automatically turns back in the wrong position...

    The map is a mess, icons that showed locations are now tiny white and yellow lights that you can barely see because the map is also white...genius...

    Exploration is a pain in the ass, every freaking door is barred and you need to find an alternative hidden entrance or you have to find a oil jar to blow a barricade away, too bad the stupid jar is always hundreds of meters away, turning the whole process into an annoying treasure hunt chore.

    Some of the sound effects are very loud and annoying, also some triggers are completely wrong and as you explore you constantly trigger the same sound over and over.

    Music is not as good as in Odyssey, but it's ok.
    Voice acting is great.    … Expand

    This is everything I wanted from an Assassin's Creed viking game, and contains a lot of things i love in games.

    This is everything I wanted from an Assassin's Creed viking game, and contains a lot of things i love in games. Large skill trees where I can put points, Base that can be built and upgraded, and running around doing tasks as I explore the open world.
    It's nothing new from the core gameplay of Origins or Odyssey, except for a new twist on a few mechanics. And if you didn't like those games, then this won't be any change to that.

    So far I have completed two first areas in England, in terms of collecting and story. The game so far is great in terms of world building, great sound design, and I find the story both fun and engaging, it's what I expect from an Assassin's Creed game, and a bit more. Sadly all this greatness disappears behind bugs and bad game design.

    The new combat feature that Valhalla brings is stamina. A system that is supposed to bring more excitement and challenge to combat, but instead reveals all the flaws the system has. Compared to Origins and Odyssey if the enemy AI or combat bugged out you could always dodge back, and try again without being punished. With the Stamina system this feels extra punishing and unfair as a player. They have however tried to fix the issue where dodging was far superior to parry by having a stun bar that is chipped away when you parry certain attacks.
    On that note, these attacks are color telegraphed, something that is nice, except for the seemingly different amounts of time before the attack lands and that if you parry to soon, as a response, you fail and take damage. Have you first suffered a blow you get staggered and are having a hard time getting out unless you spend some stamina getting out, something it seems the AI does not have to do as they can get out of the stagger with relative ease, turning the player from a fierce viking to a cautious warrior.

    The other thing that makes this game frustrating beyond the gates of hell is the wall climb. Something I never gave a second thought in Odyssey, maybe because it worked or because those times it failed I knew I wouldn't die. In Valhalla the story takes a different turn, and not the turn many of us wanted. The wall climb is bad and buggy in most scenarios, with the character jumping to the wrong ledge or jumping off instead of up.

    On the side of gameplay, there are some terrible design choices made through the game in terms of level design. On the bright side, there are some good there, as one should expect from this type of game.

    The accessibility features of the game is amazing, and it starts out by giving you a lot of options so you can tailor the game to your needs, be it color options, text to speech or simply removing any nudity or gore.

    In the end Assassins Creed Valhalla is an amazing game, it tries to deliver what it promises, but the many bugs turn this experience into a sour one. It should have spent a couple of more months being polished.
    And if you are thinking of buying the game note this. It's the same gameplay loop as Odyssey and Origins. As of November 2020 it's buggy, if the bugs aren't being fixed, buy it at a sale. If you don't like the gameplay loop, don't waste your money.    … Expand

    Change appearance system is horrible, how could them change from a perfect system like in Odissey to this? You not only have to pay for it but its expensive, in only one place and after a irritating menu wall.
    The graphics are the same as in Odissey with negletable improving in some areas but England is so much uglyer than Greece i feel depressed after playing a few hours.
    The map is terrible to walk around, irritating stone fences everywhere, beautiful landscapes are scarce, they probably fired the photography guy when they finished Origins... But even Odyssey has better mapping.
    Well but there are good things, the system where u have to cloak yourself in some places and mingle with the locals.
    The instant assassination option in the menu is a plus.
    Fishing option is good but must be flawless, after you fish in RDR2 you cant fish anywhere anymore.
    Also the option to use many different weapon combinations (but with less different strike options).
    But they also got rid of good systems like marking enemy's with ur bird (like wtf?) and other cool things.

    ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA is a beautiful looking game that suffers from possibly the worst controls in gaming history, the incompatibility of the ASSASSIN'S CREED series and too much excess baggage. Let me explain:
    Firstly the CONTROLS: Eivor (player character can either be male or female) controls like a fully loaded Mack truck hauling 3 equally loaded trailers driven by a drunk. But    ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA is a beautiful looking game that suffers from possibly the worst controls in gaming history, the incompatibility of the ASSASSIN'S CREED series and too much excess baggage. Let me explain:
    Firstly the CONTROLS: Eivor (player character can either be male or female) controls like a fully loaded Mack truck hauling 3 equally loaded trailers driven by a drunk. But somehow we are supposed to believe that s/he can gracefully scale walls the best ninja wouldn't be able to? Combat is clunky and unresponsive, but the worst offender is the climbing mechanic: shift utilizes an UNintelligent system where the AI assumes what you wish to do - which at least in my case was wrong 95% of the time. Trying to climb down something or getting off something has a 90-10 chance of success. The controls are atrocious! Whoever came up with these should be flayed alive. Add the console-friendly menus to the mix and embrace the suck.
    Second issue: IDENTITY CRISIS. The latest ASSASSIN'S CREED games, ORIGINS, ODYSSEY and VALHALLA (probably the preceding ones, too, but I haven't played them) suffer from an identity problem, that is ASSASSIN'S CREED itself. While the original lore of assassins versus Templars draws form the Crusades, the later games' attempt to justify the excursions into Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and per-medieval Viking Age falls flat on its face and is totally unbelievable and outright ridiculous. The ASSASSIN's CREED game mechanics also don't work with the setting itself, a Viking using stealth?! It just doesn't mesh. The last 3 ASSASSIN'S CREED games should not have the AC name and should ditch all AC elements.
    Third: EXCESS BAGGAGE: Ubisoft, drop the present timeline with Layla Hassan and the Animus already!!! It's immersion breaking (a deathblow to any Open World game!), the character is annoying and uninteresting. I always skip her dialogues and hit the Animus as soon as the game lets me, which at the first interruption works relatively fast, but later you need to do some quests. Ditch this, or at least let us decide if we want to have this or not (like the gender selection at the beginning it could be an option). There are also lots of annoying cutscenes that drag on which cannot be skipped and a lot of filler content that is just bloating.
    There are also several bugs (many MANY crashes, synchronization issues with the forced use of the Ubisoft Connect Program), even over half a year after the game's release. At times my long boat would flip over and become unmaneuverable until I quit out and reloaded the game. Couple that with horrendously long load times and you can imagine how much fun that was.
    When the game works properly and you've made it past the annoying cutscenes and Layla sequence and reach England, VALHALLA shines: it is one of the most beautiful looking Open Worlds, hands down. You can get some mileage out of it simply by exploring the vast area. Sailing down the rivers while mist engulfs you is just pure atmosphere and makes you feel like in the movie The 13th Warrior.
    I also like the branching skill tree a lot - not overly complex but not too simple either, which allow different play styles (full out assault, bows or stealth assassinations) or mix them to your heart's content.
    Unfortunately after a while repetition sets in. And grinding. The world is divided in Power Levels (you gain Power Levels by upgrading your gear and weapons and by investing in the skill tree). However some neighboring regions have such a steep rise in Power Level that hours of grinding and collecting ore, ingots and leather becomes mandatory. Many game mechanics that start out to be fun (raids) soon become tedious and repetitive as well. And once you've uncovered the entire map there's little to keep you playing on. The missions are not very varied either, ranging from fetch quests (a lot of them) to assassinations.
    Overall VALHALLA is the best looking AC game with beautiful locations and vistas to behold, but it offers too little innovations to be compelling in the long run - let's face it, Ubisoft has been making the same game over and over and over again with ROGUE, UNITY, SYNDICATE, ORIGINS, ODYSSEY and now with VALHALLA, it just comes with a different paint job. Also Eivor (either gender) is a very bland character compared to ODYSSEY's Kassandra. It's just slightly above average and the fun factor is like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs and unfortunately more downs than ups, especially if you played previous entries in the series.
    Oh, and then there's the overly long load times that don't seem to be justified. Also at each startup of the game you are informed about how this game was created by a team of ultra-woke loons of many genders, faiths and nationalities - yes, the cringe-worthy screen greets you every time you start the game and takes a chunk out of your time as well.    … Expand

    There seem to be a lot of skills, but in fact they are linear and meaningless, and all skills are one button that launches the right animation at the right time.
    Where are the games, where combat depended on your skill and only yours, and not what kind of skill you have in the game. But combat has been expanded a bit and its style changes with weapon options. But at the same time, the enemies are again stupid, although there are more of them than in the same "The Witcher 3". But at the same time, the combat curve with sticking and the damage will constantly stick from where you did not expect. Therefore, fighting a crowd is not at all interesting.
    Well, at least they did some chopping off of body parts, but again it is clear that they were looking at The Witcher 3. They did it there, so we need to do it. Not any new ideas. And it's not so spectacular. And it gets boring after a couple of times.

    But as we know - "the more options and freedom in the game, the faster you choose the easiest version of the game." Ubisoft games have not been framed for a long time and do not create the rules of the game, which contributes to the complete shutdown of the brain in the process. After all, they could turn on and think about a way to solve problems in the game. And then there are constant hints.

    As a result, the game is again a time killer, no more, no less.
    To be afraid of Ubisoft to take risks and this is their main problem. As a result, all their games are gum after the first 10-30 minutes of the game, when there seems to be no taste, but they are still chewing and even the design and locations no longer save their games, because there is nothing in these beautiful locations.
    The game is monotonous, empty and boring.
    It's a shame, annoying, but expected.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my opinion about Valhalla. I'm not used to send opinions about games because I have a small hope that I will be listenned. However, because I like the Ubisoft games, I gonna Try. Hope, somebody who make decisions at least heard about this.

    The worst Assassin’s Creed Ever. I used to love Ubisoft historic games. I’ve played all Prince of Persia series and the majority of AC. However, I have to admit that it’s becoming worse and worse every new one.
    We are already used to the bugs in the game, I’m ok with it. The problem is that you are changing important games characteristics.
    First, RPG wasn’t a good idea, the game become less fluid and we have only three options: pay, reduce level or expend time in side quests and resources searches, even if we just want to enjoy the story. I suggest a new mode without levels.
    Second, the main character, Eivor is perhaps the weaker, slower and boring of all. Enemies always attack him first, even on the light attack, and you have only three moviments to divide your small energy between evade and attack. I imagine a fight between him and Kenway or Arno. It become the game so boring and annoying that I almost loose my patient.
    Third, health are so scarce that you die many times without any chance to react. I strongly prefer autohealing after run.
    Minors problems like you several times attack in directions you don’t want, you can’t climb everywhere and your claw its not so funny. I still miss a game where you have to think to solve puzzles like Prince of Persia anyway. At least, we don’t have to spend time out animus or forced to kill templars if we don’t want.
    When AC Black Flag was release I taught we are going to have bests games ever. Amazing, Ships fights, dynamic fights and character. But looks like you lost your way along the way. Sad.

    I snuck up behind a guy, and there was no way to assassinate him, in my assassins' creed game. I also accidentally pushed a few of the VIKING GUARDS into the water, and promptly watched them drown like a 5 year old with Cerebral Palsy. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is at least a little bit of a letdown.

    The game has no DirectX 11 support so if you have an older GPU though luck, you can't play the game and not because your GPU can't run it but because the devs had to pull all the tricks in the book to make it run on consoles and PC players ended up suffering the consequences from a copy paste port.

    "1 step forward, 2 steps back"

    I'll start by saying like most newly released AAA titles this game is full of bugs. So much so that it is very noticeable and will impact how much you enjoy the game. Looking past this though this is another decent Assassins Creed experience that will provide over 80 hours of content. However, if you enjoyed the previous two titles Origins and Odyssey then    "1 step forward, 2 steps back"

Looking past this though this is another decent Assassins Creed experience that will provide over 80 hours of content. However, if you enjoyed the previous two titles Origins and Odyssey then this game is going to feel like a downgrade in many ways.

    Some returning features or new features that the game has included are assassinating bosses, kill conversations, speech checks, mini-games, dual-wielding different weapons, and raiding. Some of these are very welcome additions that make the game feel fresh. Some removed features or features I wish didn't return are killing civilians will desynchronize you instead of increase your bounty, no bounty system, reduced gear/weapon system, less gear variety/customization, combat is very janky, only one finisher animation per weapon, AI is considerably worse than previous titles, stat tree forces you to grab stats you don't want to get the ones you do want, and gear acquired in some locations cannot be kept when returning to the normal area.

    The setting of the game is very interesting and I was hoping for another amazing experience like in Origins and Odyssey (post-launch) but it's clear that the developers were trying to mix both the old and new Assassin's Creed games together in Valhalla. Sadly this meant removing much of what made the new games extremely fun and replacing it with dated mechanics. If I had to sum the game up in one sentence it's "1 step forward, 2 steps back".    … Expand

    After the first couple of hours with a smooth transfer between animations and cinematic gameplay in a setting that looks interesting even despite the fact that for the past 5 years everything seems to be about Norse history and mythology, everything suddenly changes into a painfully boring routine of filler story arcs with the main story being present only for a few minutes after you finish one of them, before you start another, and from the half of the game not even that anymore.

    Valhalla is an awfully lengthy game with a progressive reduction in quality of just about everything the more time you spend with it, making it feel like your favorite sitcom that turned to trash after 5 seasons, but you still put up with it because of how much time you've already spent watching it.
    I was glad that Ubisoft at least improves their reskinned sequels, because Watch Dogs 2, Odyssey, and even The Division 2 turned out to be solid games, where the developers learned from their mistakes, but somehow it's not the case anymore, and I have no explanation why these third installments using the same formula are failing again in even those aspects and mechanics that were already fixed.    … Expand

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.

So when Odyssey came out I was so excited I was hoping for more of the same on a different package but was disappointed its not that Odyssey is a bad game same like Valhalla it just feels like its lacking in many aspects that Origin's did so well almost like a step back in many ways in trying different formulas instead of sticking to what worked. Valhalla is the same as Odyssey and Origins in that aspect. The game feels like it lacks something. 12 hours in and the world feels bland and empty unlike Origin's the combat feels repetitive, worse than the last 2. The story is stronger than Odyssey but it has no depth. Overall is a good time waster game looks decent but this shouldn't have been called Assassin's Creed game, Ubisoft should have just made a different game based on Vikings because this really doesn't feel anything at all Like and Assassin's Creed game.

    Bugs = A ton of them. Some are fun as F and others are annoying as F

    Valhalla struggles to balance out an Open World with Story and Loot. You have much fewer weapons and armor to loot and one of the core mechanics "raiding" isn't fully fleshed out yet. You get resources only once and it feels more like a "what could have been but isn't" scenario. Horrible Face Animations and weird character movement are one of the points why Mass Effect Andromeda got beaten up pretty hard and i am wondering why almost no one is acknowledging this problem in Valhalla too. Emotionless and dull, that is how every scene between characters are looking.
    Assassins in this game are only appearing as a visual "pleaser" but have for the first half no impact in the game or story whatsoever. Probably just to shut down those "It's not an Assassins Game" critics. It doesn't feel like an Assassin Game and also most of the time not like a Vikings Game. You get some little treats of those things here and there but this game is just another bland "Ubisoft Open World" game. At this point i'm just getting tired of the Ubisoft Bullcrap they put out since Origins. Origins was new and refreshing and bumped up my expectations for the Assassins Series again but with Odyssey and Valhalla it went down pretty fast. You can't expect me to praise a game or give credits to it when they just slapped another "theme" on their game and called it a day. Origins had a lot of unique Buildings and i'm missing that in Valhalla. Almost every Church in Valhalla is from the same "Preset" just add a little bit of fire or cracked wooden stuff here and there and here you go.

I'm supposedly an assassin with a raven I can see through with the council of numerous battlefield veterans but apparently we're all too stupid to scout ahead.

    This game would have been better with 0 Assassins Creed stuff too it, no main story. Just two Viking brothers going to settle England. The mechanics for that are excellent.

General idea is great, vikings, Odin and all other things allways in top charts. But after Witcher this game looks like a cheap copy. Let's say i went to quest location not strait but thry the village where i found infor that one of NPCs works for both sides, after you comming to quest zone where you see this NPC and in dialogue you still do not have any option to say that he is traitor. After some time information about that will appear and you will even have a quest to confirm that. Seriously is it so hard to add additional triggers. Or let's say you are cleaning some village from enemies and next time when you will pass thru you char will say like: "I should be carefull here, there is guards.". I not a big fan of "next gen" graphic but i think it's not ok when fire and birds looks like a gif picture in game, which is cost more that 50$. Story is predictable like a movie from 80's. Amount of bugs just horrible. In my case i faced not working triggers, NPCs have been stuck on the way or just in hills. In case of my friend he went to Asgard earlier than should, died there several times and decided to go back to increase his lvl. But after that game just crashes and he is not able to play it again and support told to start game from begining. Rly? All locations are big but empty. With maximum settings i can see proper and biutiful world just i several meters around me. In my region this game cost 27$ and i think this can be fare price for such quality but i cannot say that this is real triple A game.… Expand

    But the bugs, oh boy the bugs. I have only played around 23 hours so far, and have wanted to quit numerous times. Not exclusively because of the difficulty curve in some areas (Right next to the starting area is an area that is likely many times your level, for instance), but because of bugs.

    I've had the game at minimum crash 5 times, at least 2 times taking screenshots with UPlay, and another 3 just existing in the world. Sometimes, bows do not fire at all when you press left click.

    Guards will respawn in an area you have cleared if you are not actively in combat, and seemingly more than about 50 meters away. This makes clearing out an area, then hunting for loot without interuption a pain in the ass, in larger settlements especially.

    Get the game when it's on a heavy discount if at all.    … Expand

    One of the worst Assassin Creed game. It feels like it was programed in th 8th century

    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]
