    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.

    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.

    I've played every assassins creed game and this one is definitely up their. I hated the combat system when it came out on origins, but they've perfected it now and its incredibly smooth and rewarding. The graphics are gorgeous and it runs so smooth which is shocking for an AC game.

    Metacritic has always been place where haters come, that just how it is. But this time they have huge problem if they wanna hate AC Valhalla. I'll put it simply. It's very good game. Hating good game with your fake lies is not easy, so yeah. Good game, would recommend.

    There's no question about it that AC: Valhalla is one of the better games of 2020. All this hate is so weird to me. Like don't you have anything else to do with your life than hating video games you don't like? Specially good ones like AC Valhalla. I would understand if you hate scam games like Cyberpunk 2077, but hate for AC Valhalla makes zero sense.

    This game has incredible atmosphere and music. I literally spent over 30 minutes just climbing the walls of London and enjoying the sunset. There are many incredible looking locations in this game. If you go into walking mode, some of the best music pieces of AC series history, start playing.

    I have seen that some are trying to point out, that this game is empty, that's not true at all. It has just enough things to explore, but some of the empty areas are very much intentional. Red Dead Redemption 2 was exactly the same way. There are areas that have interesting stuff and then there are areas of just nature, beaches, forests etc. After all it's trying to be realistic presentation of 800s Norway and England. It would be awful, if behind every corner was some monster to fight with or gang of soldiers. That's one of the reasons why Odyssey failed, it had too much unnecessary content and thankfully Valhalla fixes that mistake.

    Story in this game isn't sadly strongest, but it's not bad either. Just somewhere in between. Some missions are very fun, some are very basic and even boring. For example i was way more interested in Black Flag's story. But to look at this game as a complete package, it's still very nice and overall game design/open world design is way better than last two entries.

    I have no idea where AC is going next or what's happening with this series, but if Valhalla happens to be last decent AC, then at least this series ended on positive note.    … Expand

But i guess that just shows how stupid some gamers truly are. But i can easily point out games that are actually botted on this site, for example anyone who thinks that all these last of us 2 reviews are legit, is a fool. Also Cyberpunk 2077 reviews are fakest thing i have ever seen. There are other examples as well, like Sony exclusives that usually get during the first 2 days massive amount (thousands) of extremely positive reviews, full of insanely bad grammar and nonsensical sentences. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my personal take about these "bots". But this game is nice imo. AC:Mirage (2023) seems to be even better AC game, hopefully they can match or make even better parkour than Unity's.… Expand

Some negative reviews said the graphics were not optimized but I'm using a $100 RX570 graphics card at 3440 x 1440 on medium to high settings and it is smooth and beautiful. It's actually better framerates and smoother with this ultrawide Premium Freesync monitor than it was on my 1080p non-Freesync monitor. Really surprised at the optimization and performance. Gotta go.

    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.

    Negatives: I don't really have negatives, but there's always something to improve, like for example they could do that you can wear hood while fighting. That would be great.

But apart from that, the game nails the setting. Eivor is a fantastic character, especially the male voice actor. His story with Sigurd was an exciting one, and the world really pulled me in. I couldn't finish fully Odyssey, but here I managed to 100% while still being invested in the world. I think the element of a homestead was great, its fun to keep returning to such a central location. Hopefully this element stays. Next to that, the music was outstanding. The man who sings most of these songs is called Einar Selvik and he has a band Wardruna that is very old-norse inspired. I have been listening to his albums on repeat now for a good time, and its all thanks to AC Valhalla. Very satisfying conclusion, and I am looking forwards for the next one!… Expand

There have been so many different kind of locations in AC series over past 10 years, yet some people are acting like Valhalla is first Assassin's Creed ever to have huge map, or have forest areas or whatever else these haters will find issue with.

    Truth is Valhalla does parkour better than both Odyssey and Origins. Has better combination of huge forests and Cities, than AC 3. New York was absolutely pathetic in AC 3, in Valhalla you can climb and parkour way more in London + forest areas/mountains are so much better and have more variation than AC 3. Valhalla does so many similar things, that previous games have done and many of them better than last few games, yet somehow now this series is dying? Get out of here with that nonsense. I shouldn't even mention that it's selling better than Origins or Odyssey, but i will, will mention that just to make these haters even angrier.

    Either way, from now on I REFUSE to consider these Valhalla haters as an actual Assassin's Creed fans, they simply aren't. So basically whenever i meet someone who claims to like AC series, my first question will always be - DO YOU LIKE VALHALLA and if the answer is NO, then i will just walk away. I refuse to interact with these losers for rest of my life. I'm just done!

    These haters seem to be combination of people who actually never even cared for this series and those who only care about AC 1. Either way Black Flag is great, Unity is great, Syndicate is great, Origins is great and Valhalla is great. I don't even care, if Odyssey exists, it's just meaningless grind fest and AC 3 is just awful.    … Expand

    Ubisoft somehow managed to make really good game in like 2 years, nice. Far Cry 5 had nice graphics, but story was meh and Odyssey was cool at first but overall it was meh. I don't even wanna mention last year's Ubisoft games. Valhalla turns the tables. Hopefully Far Cry 6 continues this trend and they actually stay good, how nice would that be.

    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.

    Nobody cares about extremely overrated Witcher trash made by one of the worst companies ever. This page is for Assassin's Creed, one of the most important gaming series. This game is directly inspired and made by same people who made Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Your stupid Witcher 3 didn't even exist back then. You know nothing about video games, just leave!

RPG system is also nice, every quest is like cutscene, character development is kinda ok, you can choose from 3 diffrent playstails, but you can max them all out also. Finally you can equip any weapon you want in assasins creed game, which make rly rpg from it, you can even equip 2 shields in your 2 hands. Music is rly good, Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner and Einar Selvik did rly amazing job with music, whole world is stunning, almost every npc in this game can be interracted with, npcs in your settlement or your crew have diffrent characters, everyone is special, and you will know them later, they are not just empty npcs.… Expand

    I believe Ubisoft is big enough and resourceful enough to produce a range of products large enough for a wide audience. That means an individual doesn't necessarily have to play *all* assassin's creed games. That would spare one of burnout and make for a much better experience, such as mine. AC Valhalla came hot off the heels of Odyssey, but I didn't play that one, neither Origins.

Like what did some of these people expect from Valhalla? To go back to Assassin's Creed Revelations? Are you kidding me? They would NEVER do that. Never. Most people (all the gamers who never cared about Ezio) started to care about AC when 4th one came out. That huge map, pirate theme and 1715 era was actually interesting. I love how none of these Valhalla haters never mention Black Flag, because it would automatically destroy every argument they possible could have. They know that people like Black Flag. Odyssey was a joke and everyone knows that. Valhalla was step in right direction and that direction was never going to be going back to anything that happened before Black Flag. Assassin's Creed is important and popular because of three games, these are - Black Flag (best map and main character), Unity - (best graphics and parkour) and Origins (it was different from previous ones). So yeah, these are the three options Ubisoft has. They will never go back to AC 1 style and you guys know why? Because it wouldn't sell even half that Valhalla did, that's why. AC 1 is outdated and boring and it never that good anyway, so it's literally time to move on. It is very likely they go back to something like Unity / Syndicate, while having some Black Flag elements like you can still have a boat or something. That would be perfect balance, but to go back to AC 1? Never, absolutely never.… 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]
