    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game, the best out of the AC rpg trilogy in my opinion. The bugs and glitches that impact the game (it's a Ubisoft game so not that surprising) are frustrating but not game breaking *spoiler* although I'm currently stuck on finishing the order of the ancients saga that occurs after the main campaign, hopefully it will be fixed soon, but overall great story, great characters, would highly recommend it but probably wait a bit till Ubisoft irons out most of the bugs and glitches.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the length of the game. Interesting health recovery gameplay having to always find rations and not automatic recovery like previous games. Having to build the settlement and unlocking benefits from it like health, changing a companion, design of tattoos or the ship, and missions. I get skyrim like vibes with that gameplay. With the animus data glitch puzzles we see more of Layla, and I'm not complaining. I look forward to continuing the game, not that far into it yet. I believe this installment has what it takes to compete with Origins for the best overall Assassin's Creed game.… Expand

    Beautiful game that has insane amount of content. Haters are just envy and likely never ever cared about AC games, so i would recommend just ignoring every review that gives it anything below 7.

    I'm really confused how someone can leave 0 out of 10 review, while not explaining absolutely anything. All reviews like that should be deleted. It's solid game. 7 out of 10? Sure, even 6 maybe. But 0? Hell no.

    Ubisoft or to be more specific, Assassin's Creed haters are some very, very special kind of people. I think i could never write AC review without mentioning them.

Like "uh oh story is boring for my taste, here's your 1 out of 10 score". Pathetic. Anyway, game itself is solid enough. Better and more interesting than two previous mainline AC games. Ironically this game isn't Liberal either. It's as Centrist as you can get in 2021. But obviously conservatives don't like that. It confuses them. Like "how can you possibly be so open minded and see both sides". Sad world we live in. In a way Red Dead Redemption 2 is way more Liberal than this game with it's forced feminist mission and i'm saying that as die-hard Rockstar fan. I guarantee GTA 6 has even more stuff like that, possibly more than any Ubisoft game ever. That's the gaming in 2020s and onward, forever. Deal with it. Witcher 4 will have way more focus on female characters and it will include many black characters. That's just how it will be. Witcher 3 will absolutely NEVER happen again. Never. Inclusion is not bad thing, in fact it is necessary and i think it's time for "certain gamers" to understand that there are all kind of people on this planet.… Expand

The game also has like Odyssey a very long story. So if you want to enjoy it to the fullist you have to invest many hours. So if you like Origins and Odyssey this should be a no brainer and you should buy Valhalla if you are an old Assassin's Creed some changes to the past won't be enough to convince you.    … Expand

    This is easily the best Assassins Creed game Ubisoft has put out in a very long time. I never post any kind of review for a game until I’ve put in at least 20 hours playing the game or have beaten the game (if it takes less than 20 hours to beat).

I never post any kind of review for a game until I’ve put in at least 20 hours playing the game or have beaten the game (if it takes less than 20 hours to beat). Now having played the game for about 22 hours I can confidently say this is my favorite Assassins creed game they’ve ever made. I’ll list the positives and negatives from here...
    + They’ve finally improved the graphics over Odyssey and Origins which basically just felt like re-skins of each other. + Animations are vastly improved over the last two games, and that goes for everything from execution sequences, to climbing to riding your horse, everything looks and feels much better and more lifelike. + Like the other Assassins’s creed games, they is tons to do, you’ll easily be able to put in over 100 hours and still have more to do. +Story in this one is actually decent, I care somewhat for the characters in Valhalla which I couldn’t say for the last games. +Sound design is equal to the last games, nothing wrong with it. + I got the game the day it launched and I have only run into maybe a couple bugs. One bug wasn’t allowing a quest to progress, but I just reloaded the game and it worked fine after that. Other bugs have been minimal and nothing game breaking. +Combat and abilities are basically the same as the last two games which I really liked so this is a plus for me, if you didn’t like the combat in the last games then you won’t like it in Valhalla either. + The map is really well made with countless places to loot and explore just like the last games, but Valhalla has more interesting and challenging puzzles in my opinion. The size of the world also seems to be about as big as the last two games as well. - The story is improved but still pretty underwhelming, so it’s a positive and a negative. I don’t really have any other negatives for the game so far after 22 hours, if I had to pick more negatives I would say combat is too similar to the last games and not much was really added or changed, I actually can’t think of anything that was added or changed. The game also has a very similar system to the cultist system they had in Odyssey, actually, it’s exactly the same with a different name. 8/10 from me, much of the same formula from the last games but much more polished, if you’ve liked the last Assassin’s Creed games, you’ll like this one.    … Expand

    Great game! Much improvement from AC Origins and Odyssey. I generally don't like mindless hacking and slashing but the fights in this game are enjoyable. Stealth assassins are superb and RPG elements are great. Side missions are great improvement from former AC games and can be challenging and witty.

    After 115 hours, I can say that I have “beaten” AC: Valhalla on the PS4. Note the quotation marks, we’ll get into those later.

The course of the gameAfter 115 hours, I can say that I have “beaten” AC: Valhalla on the PS4. Note the quotation marks, we’ll get into those later. The game acts as the third installment of the “new generation” of AC titles that began with Origins in 2017. Valhalla follows the story of the Viking Eivor and the Raven Clan as they journey from Norway to establish a settlement in England. The course of the game will have you as Eivor journey to the various shires to establish friendly relations, either by working for the current lord or actively opposing them. The musical score meets the lofty standards of Assassin’s Creed, though oftentimes I find myself forgetting the score is there. This gives no points for or against the game in my view. Like many of the AC titles, the graphical glitches and bugs abound. Roughly twice per play session I would find myself saving and loading a game to get around a bug that wouldn’t let me continue. While on par with AC titles, I will have to take a point away from it. Graphically, despite the bugs, the game retains the graphical beauty of the generation, oftentimes I found myself marveling at the landscapes, particularly of Norway and the first dreamscape world. You read that right. Players of Origins and Odyssey will know that on occasion the main character will delve into a dream-like state, entering a fantastical new world to solve a problem along their journey. Origins did this in it’s Curse of the Pharaohs DLC, and Odyssey in its Fate of Atlantis DLC. Valhalla sees Eivor enter two of the Nine Realms from Norse Mythology, both of which are expertly designed and beautifully written. With these realms, Valhalla has a total of five world maps to explore. In terms of gameplay, the game favors direct combat more often, but stealth can be rewarding and is doable. This makes sense, as Eivor is a Viking raider, with loose training in the ways of the Hidden Ones. Usually, I’ll find myself attempting stealth until I inevitably alert the guards and have to go full drengr on them. The equipment system is similar to that of Odyssey, but each item is unique and can be upgraded to mythical potential. This let me wear the outfit I wanted, without it being too under-leveled for what I was doing. A new mechanic of Raids has been added, impromptu events that you can trigger by sailing your crew up to monastery. As you and your crew slaughter the guards, you run around finding supplies and raw materials to bring back to your village to build. Conquest battles from Odyssey have returned vaguely as siege battles, in which you lead an army to break through an enemy’s defenses and slay their commanders. I found these events to be quite fun, with most of them being unique from the others and cinematic in their own lights. The collectables around the map take the form of wealth, generally weapons and armor and materials to upgrade them, artifacts, such as tattoo designs or literal Roman artifacts, and mysteries. The mysteries are small side-missions, generally contained to a small area around its blip on the map. These go the range from fun to boring, and none are ever too challenging, save for the ones that require you to fight, but those also tend to be the most rewarding. Animus glitches were brought back from the Ezio trilogy, giving you a very fun parkour challenge that gave you a glimpse of an Isu secret at the end. Collecting them all gave you a small cinematic, tying Norse Mythology to the world of AC. In fact, Valhalla does a wonderful job tying the Assassin’s Creed world together, and one is bound to find hints of every game era in this one. Flyting challenges have been added, basically Viking rap battles, in which Eivor must match the rhyme and rhythm of their opponent to succeed, granting a charisma increase. Higher charisma will lead to favorable dialogue options throughout the game. As a minigame, the developers have added a dice game called “Orlog,” which I found to be very fun in the early game and not worth my time in the late game. Drinking contests, cairn staking, and even brawls with other Vikings provide a player with a plethora of things to do. And after 115 hours, I believe I have done everything this game has to offer. Every blip on the map is cleared and I’ve finished every mission that didn’t involve the opal dealer. Sorry, Reda, not interested. And yet, I’ve yet to see credits roll, and I can’t figure out why. The game has had essentially three endings, the first being the most climactic of them, with the second and third decreasing in importance and feeling more like “after credit” scenes than anything else. I enjoyed them, the game just seemed to keep puttering on, for hours even after what I had first assumed would be the ending.
    All in all, Valhalla stands as a fantastic entry to the franchise. It’s fun, it brings the world together, and writing-wise is the best written game in the series, and it falls where other AC titles fall.    … Expand

    A great AC game. Combat is a bit clunky, but it still feels great, could have been better though. Love the story and music. Lack of naval combat is a bit letdown, and the crew is kinda useless outside raids. Stealth gameplay is almost useless and non-existent. In conclusion, a great game with a rough release with same old Ubisoft buggy notoriety.

    Let me start by saying that if you thinking about buying the game at full price, then you should because it is totally captivating.

Imagine a character being introduced to the Creed's world while facing his viking nature. Chaos! Graphics are very good, the combat system fun (especially the executions), you never get bored because you have like hundreds of tasks, mysteries, and treasure huntings to do. You also have access to stories from the Scandinavian pantheon. The world is vast with many places to see and full of strange and amusing encounters. My favorite assassin's creed game since Ezios games. Don't be bothered by those who criticised the irrelevance with traditional assasin ways. If you enjoy the stealthy way of doing things the skill tree offers you plenty of opportunities to build Eivor that way.… Expand

    Not regretting trying it, here's the lesson, never take negative reviews seriously on metacritic until you have tried certain game for yourself. You might miss out on many outstanding games that are hated for dumb reasons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Valhalla była czymś, na co byłem mega zajarany, kiedy wyszedł pierwszy trailer. Po 6 miesiącach czekania w moje ręce w końcu trafiła ta gra i po odpaleniu nie zawiodłem się. Gra była czymś, co sprzyjało moim zainteresowaniom. Piękny świat, a przede wszystkim ogromny. Twórcy znowu nie zawiedli nas w kwestii świata. Norwegia to było cudowne miejsce gdzie rozpoczęliśmy naszą przygodę, a właściwie prolog. Kiedy wypłynąłem z niej moim oczom ukazała się Anglia w czasach 9 wieku. Od razu wiedziałem, że mi się tu spodoba. O tej produkcji można by dużo mówić, ale streszczając, jest to genialna gra o wikingach, no i właśnie, o wikingach. Temat Asasynów jest tu trochę pominięty, chociaż jacyś ukryci się tam pojawiają, to nasza postać nie jest ukrytym, natomiast w porównaniu do poprzedniej części, mamy tu z nimi do czynienia, oraz mamy w swoim wyposażeniu ukryte (tym razem tylko z nazwy) ostrze. Z postacią Eivora dosyć szybko się utożsamiamy i płynnie poznajemy ten rozległy świat, pomagając innym terytoriom. Do tej pory najdłuższa część w jaką przyszło mi grać, nie sądziłem, że po Odyssei może być coś jeszcze dłuższego. Bardzo miło wspominam tę grę.… Expand

    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.
