    As the launch title for a next-gen console, this game is everything but what's expected for a launch title. In my experience playing I encountered bugs, the assets just didn't look good in my opinion, the combat was uninspiring, the modeling for the characters feels wooden, and overall I wasn't impressed by the game. I quickly requested a refund.

    Meh. This game doesn't bring anything new. Visually it's a step backward from some of the latest games in recent years. I'm used to a much higher level of quality in animation and detail. It feels like a bad 3rd person Far Cry game without the guns or vehicles - and even those games have become incredibly stale. They need a revamp of their graphics engine, something new and refreshing.Meh. This game doesn't bring anything new. Visually it's a step backward from some of the latest games in recent years.

    I just feel bored with these Ubisoft games... Hopefully, they can turn this around eventually. I didn't feel particularly excited leading up to the release either so all-in-all it's been a letdown.

    Also, so many bugs... so much clipping, and AI is so lame. Another game churned out by a games company on autopilot.

    They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy.

    I loved this at first, but the more I played, the more I just wanted it to be over. The huge power level gap they throw at you at the end also just doesn't feel good. Its great at first, but as you play it the cracks start to show and despite a large world with a lot to do, theres a point where just....none of it feels interesting or engaging. Its all mediocre at best.    … Expand

    It looks fine. Not as good as HZD for example but fine. Parcour gets worse each iteration. Fighting is clunky, way too easy and boring. Story is uninteresting for the most part. And it's way too long again, witch too little interesting content.

    Another copy past from previous 2 titles + some elements from witcher 3 (but not even good clone) . Very bad and clunky and unpolished fighting animations. some repetitive stun kills. very bad facial animations. Stealth kills mechanism are laughable just look how he kills someone lying on ground.
    very bad AI. the only good part is massive world and some good side activities.

    Basically Origins/Odyssey.
    The Viking setting is amazing, but the game it self is a solid meh.
    A lot of technical issues at my end.
    Story is okay I guess.
    Combat is very repetitive, just like the gameplay itself.
    What can I say, it's a Ubisoft game.

    Now my thoughts out of the way, do not buy this game I am being serious, this game is a huge waste of money and time, the sad thing is that really wanted this game to be good, I remember the first showcase in June and I was scared of how **** it looked, but I was like " Nah it will be fine they will fix it", Boy was I wrong, this game is a buggy mess with freeze frames, screen tearing, absolutely stupid A.I. and other tons of **** you at this point they should just stop making games, in general, this game was one of the worst games of this year, no this decade. if you like this game that is good for you and I am actually happy that you found a game in this **** of trash.

    There was so much potential for this game. The graphics are excellent but sadly there is nothing of substance in the gameplay. Combat is repetitive(button mash) and the story is repetitive(befriend clans and raid with them). In a viking game, there is nearly no loot when all vikings did was loot. There is also no stealth opportunities whatsoever. Assassinating is completely gone from the game.

That’s not why I pre-ordered this game. And aside from that game-ending bug, there were TONS of other bugs in it. About half the time I try to load the game my ps4 crashes and says “too hot”. Froze on loading screen, froze during boss battle, frame rate sucked, a door that was supposed to be destructible wasn’t.

    Poorly made. Although the game is probably the best in the series since brotherhood the game is full of bugs and glitches and is historically inaccurate. I'm pretty sure Ubisoft doesn't even try their games before releasing them to the public

    The worst game of Ubisoft {Bugysoft} The game is simply AC Origins version 3.0 However, it has lots bug which makes it TRASH. They’re releasing the game even without checking it, I simply hated it and I hate Ubisoft too. Ubisoft and Valhalla are TRASH< TRASH TRASH!!!

    The Hidden Blade is not hidden anymore
    (Figuratively and literrally) I am now 10 hrs into the game. Story is really intruiging. The combat mechanics were well polished. The openworld is more vibrant than the ones of origins and odyessey. Unfortuanetly the game is very buggy - patch 1.02.

Looking past that, the sound, in general, was so unpleasant that I turned off the game after 5 minutes. It sounds muddy, heavily compressed, and I can't find a fix for it.

    Typical ubisoft crap that has nothing to do with assasins. The plot is shallow, the combat is clunky and cartoonish with only one finishing animation for each type of characters. If you want good viking stories just go finish all the Skellige side quest inthe Witcher 3.

    Contender for worst AC game. If you like Witcher 3, you *might* like this. If you don't like Witcher 3, you definitely *won't* like this.

    Eagle vision has returned to the pulse system from Unity. The fact that it's bound to a long press on R3 has me worried about carpal tunnel. Rebinding it isn't straight forward without a full remap of the controller; custom controls are available but    Contender for worst AC game. If you like Witcher 3, you *might* like this. If you don't like Witcher 3, you definitely *won't* like this.

    Eagle vision has returned to the pulse system from Unity. The fact that it's bound to a long press on R3 has me worried about carpal tunnel. Rebinding it isn't straight forward without a full remap of the controller; custom controls are available but they don't cooperate.

    Enemies highlighted by Odin Sight/eagle vision don't stay highlighted. Equally, the bird friend is now useless, so when combat starts, everyone looks the same - friend and foe alike - and the screen turns into a dark muddy brown colour. Keeping track of the enemies in the combat is near impossible. Added to that confusion is the new (heavily watered-down) Dark Souls-esque stamina system. So if you try and dodge around to stop yourself from dying you eventually run out of stamina and have to wait to get your breath back.

    "Maybe this guy just sucks," I hear you say. But the truth is that there's nothing technical about the combat. It's a hack and slash. While Origins and Odyssey had fun abilities that would make the combat interesting and leave you feeling in control, this is just boring. Without the stamina it would honestly feel like mosou, with a long two handed swing slicing through enemies for the same amount of damage of their hit bars. Nothing visceral or powerful about it.

    Bird is now useless. It can't find anything other than iron ore, leather, and a few other resources, as well as a general location of some "wealth" (this game's 'good loot') and "mysteries" (side quests).

    On a positive note, the long winded side quests of Origins and Odyssey are now gone, if you didn't like them. Sadly, the 'mysteries' are now so meaningless that they aren't worth completing, except for the XP you desperately need to progress through the skills tree and make the game a little more bearable.

    The world is strange and doesn't feel like England. The map is a grid system of rivers, and the land masses are basically big hills. There are some moments or incredible beauty, but the big picture is that the world feels nothing like the England I grew up in. No matter where you are, the topography resembles the Peak District - a region celebrated for it's steep and dense hills. The rolling hills and open valleys of the rest of England are nowhere to be seen.

    Each area is it's own biome, and the first basically has a colour pallet of green, orange, and a lot of brown and black. It's not pretty.

    The first few hours of the story amount to (mild spoiler alert), 'Norway blows, let's bounce,' followed by invading England. It's not a reason in and of itself to continue playing. For people who don't like the AC Modern Day storyline, you'll be pleased to know that there is no significant Isu stuff going on, and the whole Assassin/Templar thing is pretty much optional until about the last third of the game.

    Gear and loot have been stripped right back. While you no longer have to deal with the ludicrous nature of carrying 100 weapons which you sell, you also don't have much to play with, and it takes a lot of the fun out of finding new weapons by spelunking. All you find is iron and leather to boost the stats of your existing weapon with all the originality of a 2006 MMO. This is supposed to reduce the amount of time you spend in menus managing a meaningless inventory. However, in an attempt to get players to 'learn about the world by playing,' or, 'live in the moment,' they've removed anything that looked like a tool to facilitate learning about the world and helping you get your bearings. I ironically spend more time in the menus in the this game that in any other AC.

    In summary;
    Combat is hack and slash; the more technical aspects of waiting for an opening in Origins and Odyssey are gone.
    Abilities take too long to get going.
    The story is meaningless and a tragically ironically conservative commentary on immigration without integration.
    There's no real Isu/Modern Day aspect, nor any real Assassin/Templar stuff.
    The world is muddy and dark.
    The exploration is infuriating and the player has the tools of a 2010 video game to help them navigate - but without a minimap.
    There is no real system of rewarding the player for exploring.
    The side quests are uninspired, contrived, poorly written, and ultimately pointless.
    The voice acting for the main character is about several steps down from Bayek and Kassandra, and the animations are typical Ubisoft.

    This game is unfinished from a design perspective, and that's before any mention of the never ending bugs. I didn't even know my PS4 had a 'database', but ACV has managed to break it three times.

    I've played every AC game, including Liberation HD and the 2.5D platformers. This is by far the worst of them. I have no idea what they were trying to achieve, but assuming it was meant to be something 'positive', they have failed.    … Expand

    Assasins Creed is a game, that has potential to be a good game, BUT:

    Whilst the story is bland and boring but the regions of Englaland (and other locations i dont want to spoil) are looking good, the game cant live up to its potential.

The controls are - in mild words - horrible; half of the time i cant climb walls properly, or climb up further trying to go through a window (just to give a few examples). Other then the controlls being bad, the game is full of bugs, that take all fun you could have while playing away. It gets tireing, if you have to reload the game dozends of times, when objectives dont get completed, npcs that you are supposed to follow, dont move... I could go on and on and on - well let me just add one thing: bugs that were reported over 6 months ago (!) and which are stated to be fixed indeed await a patch and await to be fixed until today. In addition to all of this, the game feels really unrewarding. For collecting items in the world or slaying powerful beasts all you get is a new tattoo. Why am I bothering to do this in the first place if the reward is just bad? At least you get some weapons and armor along the way. But your loadout simply does not matter - enemies are far to easy to kill, the combat can't bring any challenge to the game. You could create multiple armor-sets for ranged combat, close combat, stealth - but you wont, just because you cant save loadouts and changing your equipment, putting runes back in, ... is just too tedious to bother doing.

    Over all this game is a big dissappointment after origins and odyssey.    … Expand

    Full of bugs, has ruined my experience as a bug has prevented me from progressing in the main story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played for ten hours as of this review and I gotta say I'm not impressed at all. The world feels small, the enemies are either super easy or super hard, the bow is the best weapon, no need to actually go stealthy (in the mission where you have to learn where the king of Mercia is hiding you need to get the info from some lady in a tight security fortress and it was easy as cake to just jump in and kill everyone Rambo style), the way they emphasize you're creating your own story feels over exaggerated cause I feel like I can count on one hand how many times I've had to pick my own dialogue option, the game is generally clunky as in your character goes everywhere, the weapon animations are very repeating so you get tired of them quickly, the finishers are all the same on on each class as in the standard bearer has one and so on, and I dont feel like the order of the ancients or whatever has been tied in to the main quest at ALL. I killed one of them voluntarily and they just jumped into some random dialogue without an explanation of who she, the order member, was and what she was doing.

    Greatly disappointed sadly    … Expand

    This will be my last AC....Poor combat, extremely glitchy, the usual ubibloat, microtransaction grind for materials, and possibly the most bland, dull writing I've experienced in a game... I don't know if this is a ubi thing or a 2020 thing.

    It's really a huge disappointment. I played 32h. It's fulll of bugs. The story is 1h in Norway, a lot in England, and the rest is a pale copy of god of war

    Pros : graphics, good 'mood' of the game (at the begining)
    I like the skills presentation, but it's a shame that you can't see every skills you can unlock from the beginning... but i'ts a choice, it's a : 'choose your path' kind of thing, and it's ok
    I like the fact that when you swim, the water is really cold, and it's affect your health immediately, and the screen start to freeze on the side. really nice
    The fact that you can put different markers (with numbers) on the map is real plus for the explorations options

    Cons : where to begin.... First, I like AC : Black flag : Great. Origines : naaahh. Odyssee : Awesome. I was really looking forward to that game. But here, the rhythm of the game is just terrible (after about 7h of gaming, it's just : movie, movie, (you can't skip by the way, just accelerate sometimes).... you go on a boat that you do not control, change map... have the impression that you really played like 1h hour...
    The playability is just really sad, and terrible. It was nearly perfect on Odyssey, but here, the camera is just terrible. They put walls where they shouldn't, it's an epic journey if you just want to get out of a window of a little hut, fights are really not created for the 'assassin' strategy (you have to use a horn, most of the time).
    During a battle against a boss, I fell under the level... no way to escape or continue the combat... seriously, just after downloading a patch.
    Graphics (as I said, the mood is ok), but you have so much apple and cheese on tables (that you cannot get), but you have to get berries in nearly frozen bushes for supplies.. come on... please, take back the time you took for that and FIX the camera !

    It's not a good game, that's all, and it's really sad. You have to watch 10 minutes of discussion before not having control of the game, and finally get a treasure that you will not use, because you already update your gear with better stuff during the presentation of the game.
    For 20$, maybe, enjoy.    … Expand

    A consistently buggy and soulless world. Calling games "designed by committee" is a bit of a cliche but it's rare to find a game so wholly lacking in anything that resembles heart or humanity.

It's not devoid of enjoyment, but will likely go down as one of the years least memorable games. I don't hate the new assassin's creed game formula, but this one easily does it worse than the two prior entries. The writing is poor, the parkour is easily the worst it's ever been, the combat is clunky and boring, and it's mostly just an extremely repetitive experience. If you want a game that lets you explore the English countryside, or if you desperately need to know where the main storyline of the franchise is going for some reason, you might be able to make it through, but everyone else would likely be better served elsewhere.… Expand

    Large downgrade from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which I enjoyed precisely because it wasn't mindless stabbing and was actually more of a RPG.

    Worse story, plot, and dialogue in every way.

Can't collect the wealth of some characters with already limited resources, after completing the winchester missions I got a faded black line through the screen and had to restart, after restarting and doing another mission I had my guide bar at the top disappear. Had the guide bar stuck with the zealot Woden's info for I dunno how many hours too. Some quests fully disappear. The movement is crazy glitchy as in eivor not climbing then when you redo it climbs right up the exact same spot. Sometimes eivor will get stuck but dodge gets him in stuck. Controller disconnection doesn't pause the game. When the game pauses you get the keyboard pop ups. Overall a bad port at about the glitchiness of unity. Must have been a reason a patch came 3 days prior to release. Other than the unplayability and crashing every 30 mins it's not bad... … Expand

    Sure, this game packs a lot of promise. But on its current stage it's unplayable, with a major, massive, stupidly silly bug the blocks progression quite early in the game.official workaround - restarting the game is not an option for me. Until fixed - can't give more than 2/10

    There are far fewer cookie-cutter outposts than in previous AC’s, and most sidequests now offer an interesting story, sometimes even with a less-than-obvious solution. While some anti-grind measures have backfired, Ubisoft is on the right track. [Issue#250, page 56]

    Assassins Creed Valhalla is a wonderful addition to the AC franchise. It manages to avoid the tropes that became overplayed and focuses on a small well structured story. The fighting mechanics are enjoyable and offer many choices to fit different playing styles. There are a significant amount of bugs and the AI is underwhelming at times. But it's still another step in the right direction for Ubisoft.

    When Valhalla is at its best, it evolves series mechanics. And when you’re cruising down river, about to blow your raiding horn, there’s nothing quite like it. [Issue#183, p.71]
