    Good game. I’d rate it a sold 8 but micro transactions in a single player game are not acceptable.

    Much worse than previous game, boring world, boring story, boring visuals(forest,swmps,fields).

    Just go and play Odyssey, it is so much better in every way possible.

    Questing and map is done far worse than in previous assassins creed games. Story is boring, the only fun after 10 hours of playing was first introduction cinematic, the further in the game the worse. Odyssey was doing everything better. I like vikings but this one is not so good... I lost my money, gonna sell this game, dont even wanna finish main story.

    Ubisoft, Ubisoft never changes. I gate that level of hypocrisy, when they release the game without all additional payments, and later add it, after all reviews, metascores and game awards are finished..

    I played the main story until you could free roam and that I did. I finished most of the side quests and collectibles in the first area and then I went to progress in the main story. I couldn't progress in the main story it is bugged. Literally one of the first main story quests is bugged so that you can't progress any further.

    As for the gameplay:
    They removed quality of life things like filtering of photos on the world map. I don't want my world map to be cluttered with pictures I haven't looked at.
    The second thing that they negatively changed is the duration of the enemy highlighting after using eagle sense. Previously the enemies were highlighted until you left the area, but now you have to use eagle sense every 30 seconds and they made it a skill to "highlight all nearby enemies when you are crouched and undetected". I guess they ran out of skills and just said: "Let's take away a skill they had forever and give it back, but this time make it so that they have to spend skill points"
    You don't the full skill tree, but only parts that you are adjacent to, so you can't plan your character development ahead , which is for me one the stupidest things they could have done in an action RPG game.

    The free climbing mechanics are still wonky as they ever have been.
    The sounds seems to be off sometimes. I played the female, but it felt like the soundfiles for the male character were played instead of the female.

    The game looks beautiful though, that's why it's not a zero score

Once you hit all but one loot cache you get a one shot and loose your progress. That's fine right except when you glitch in close quarter combat. Patches should not constitute for ubisoft lack of effort. Patches are meant to fix parts not an entire wwe2k20 glitches. Shame on you ubisoft you failed this time. Good thing it's is free for ps5 if you own it on 4. Sarcastic this should make whoever approved the release to have 7 years of diarrhea with no toilet paper.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was decent until a point, and it just felt like they stopped paying the writers and it just... ends. The parkour feels clunky and the horse and boat travel is frustrating as hell. Absolutely riddled with bugs (quests disappearing until restart, graphical glitches, game crashes.) The gear system was unrewarding in that you're almost forced to commit to one armor set for the entire game and punished heavily for wanting to use new weapons or armor. Not worth buying, and at the very least wait for the DLC and more stability patches. Expand

    - The challenges are tedious and BORING and just a worthless grind
    - The fighting is awkward
    - There are glitches galore
    - The Parkour is like slow mountain climbing

    I am a four days into playing and going to put it on Ebay. So glad I got the CD version of this so that I can sell it. Let's see what Cyberpunk brings to the table.

    Such a shame, was really looking forward to it.

Ubisoft has given itself and all the gamers out there a major shot in the foot with this one. They have unsuccessfully tried to bring to the AC world things that worked brilliantly in other titles (such as the fishing and hunting missions, so good at RDR2, but so terrible here). The open world is probably one of the worst I have seen in any AC game before, the new combat mode is too bad to put into words, and the story is dull and unoriginal to say the least. But to top it all off, it's possibly one of the worst games I have ever played when it comes to bugs. It is so very bad, that at this point I am not even able to go through with the story because there was a major issue with the latest patch released for the game, where you are unable to advance in the story from the moment you start the mission "A Seer's Solace". Starting this mission will mean that your game will stop working, as the so-very-terrible-to-begin-with open world becomes even worst (it turns into raw unfinished shapes), and the character simply starts falling from the map, not giving out any possibility to keep playing. For the lucky ones who purchased a physical version, I heard it is possible to reinstall, and not updating to the latest patch seems to be a poor man's workaround for the issue, but for the unlucky ones like me who have purchased the digital version, there is no way at all to keep playing. I never thought in my wildest dreams that Ubisoft would be able to screw up this bad. I used to be a fan of the AC franchise, but this game seems to have managed to completely ruin it for me. I don't think I'll ever buy another AC game, and I am avidly expecting that Sony reimburses me for this absolutely terrible purchase, as I don't believe there are enough patches in the world that will be able to salvage it.

    Barely had anything to do with assassins. So if you're looking for an assassins creed game? You might as well just play the previous titles (excluding Odyssey)

    Its incredibly bloated and by the third or even by the second act you just want it to end. Stealth is pretty much not an option, ever, since enemies can spot you with their backs turned from a mile away.

The hidden ones/Assassins are hardly in the story. Also the fantasy elements have no place in a series based on some level of believability.

E além da jogabilidade que me chamava atenção na saga, era o enredo também, ate que a história é boa, porém poderia ser melhor, parece que a empresa está mais focada em fazer genéricos e ganhar dinheiro de modo rápido e fácil do que a focar e fazer obras primas que nem era a Triologia Ezio Auditore foi, o Unity também ficou perfeito aquele jogo, única coisa que comprometeu o jogo foi a quantidade de bug que teve, porém foram corrigidos com um tempo e hoje em dia o jogo está jogável, e considero um dos melhores também, sem falar no modo combate do jogo também, era legal ver os movimentos de revidar, aquilo valorizava muito o jogo, e oque colocaram novamente nesse jogo foi o bloqueio e logo em seguida atacar novamente, algo que todo fã também sabe do que estou falando. Em fim, quem era fã da saga desde a saga do Altair, acho que entende meu ponto de vista e sabe como a saga tinha que continuar tomando seu rumo.

    Avoid this game like the plauge, stick with Odyssey where they don't try to force microtransactions on you at every turn and you can get a tonne of awesome gear just by looting treasure chests and doing quests . You can't even change your look without paying in Valhalla, what a joke

    With all the microtransactions this should be a free to play game. I knew far cry new dawn was a sign of more microtransactions being forced (if you want to enjoy the game) instead of optional

    Ubisoft game now just seem to create problems that can be solved only using microtransactions so they can go to hell. Far Cry, Assassin's Creed and Watchdogs were my favourite game series and I am not interested in buying or playing any of their new games now. Now the ubisoft customer is just a whale to them or they don't want you as a customer if all you give them is $99 for the base game. $99 is not enough for Ubisoft, they want more and more

    Everything in this game is boring, generic, unambitious, buggy garbage. Just painfully average in every way. It's a giant pile of meh. Combat? Meh. Exploration? Meh. Story? Meh. Voice acting? Meh. Combat? Meh. Missions? Meh. Graphics? Meh. Sound? Meh. Music? Meh. In short, it sucks. This game sucks.

The ONLY reason I kept playing was the game was already in my house and I'd have to take two hours out of my day to return it, and now that I've finished the story I wish I had taken those two hours to return this pos. It would have meant that I didn't just waste sixty hours of my life dragging myself through this mess of a game. Add to the overall middling quality of this suck fest the fact that it's riddled with bugs and it's a single player game with micro-transactions and this is an absolute zero out of ten. Screw this game. Screw Ubisoft. Expand

    ! WARNING - DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ! This piece of crap is one of the most bugged experiences I had in my whole life and within 40 years of gaming experience!!

    Forget AC Unity, forget Cyberbug 2077, THIS ONE tops it all!!

    With every Update they release, you really hope, that they AT LEAST fix the most obvious and annoying bugs that bother you every time you play the game - not just some simple quest bugs, but REAL annoying stuff like suddenly doubled loading times, constant stuttering, broken textures/LOD/memory management and sound (v1. 3.0) and many more - BUT INSTEAD EVERY FREAKIN' UPDATE BRINGS EVEN MORE AND MORE BUGS!!!! You just cannot believe that!

    The actual Sigrblot event is heavily bugged, like all the others before and the latest egghead-challenge doesn't even work at all!! ATM I am just waiting for the game to fall apart and letting my PS4 explode...?!

    9 Month after the Release I would say this **** needs at least another YEAR of bug fixing and polishing! They will never finish that!

    And at the End you should/will ask yourself: is the game itself even worth all the extraordinary trouble?
    NO it is absolutely not!! I never before felt SO RIPPED OFF after buying a game and I even bought the 110 dollars Ultimate Edition (I own the whole series). FU greedy a-hole Bosses at Ubisoft, I will never buy ANY Ubisoft game again!!

    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.

    Alliance Map Bug Preventing Players From Finishing The Game:

    The game for thousands of people can not be finishes as the Alliance map bug that they usually see near the end prevents them from finishing the main quest and seeing the end of the game. And for many this comes up after 100+ hours put it, you cant even re-load back.

    Ubisoft while promising to address this bug and giving excuses like "We cant re-create this bug so it takes time" etc has just continued to create more content for their online store and ignored the problem for 2 patches now.

    I have said it before, I will say it again, horrible company that I will never again pre-order another game from and I say this as someone who has played every single AC game they ever made.

    I took a break from games for a while whilst my cock took priority over games.

    Watch cut scene with some attempt at shock factor. Add some terrible voice acting. Make me run across a big vast space of boringness. Mash a few baddies, spend ages in a big crappy 3D world, listen to more crap acting, repeat.

    Now any game that is good looking is considered a masterpiece. All it really is, is a long, slow, badly written, drawn out film. Like some shoddy Hollywood flop.

    Maybe a few gay millennials are shocked by some of the scenes. Personally, I find them predictable and pointless.

    These aren't games anymore, they are just **** films.

    No wonder Cobra Kai was so popular. You people seem to love 2 hrs worth of content dragged out over 40 hours. Even at 2 hours it would be mediocre at best.

    These 3D open world games are a gaming disaster. 9 times out of 10, they're ****

    All these 10/10 scores saying hater this, hater that. I'm not a hater. Ubisoft have a massive centre near me. They help the local economy. I have no hate for the company. I don't dislike them. I actually really like some of their other games. I played Ghost of Tsushima recently, which was the same but even worse but bad for the same reasons.

    I feel I would have to be around 13 years old to find this even remotely entertaining. I am not discrediting any quality of graphics, or sound here but to me this is just that - just graphics and sound with bad acting.

    I dont know why its called Assassin's Creed at this point. Every aspect of a true AC js Just an afterthought. The Parkour is generic at best. The facial animations are really not up to date. For an AC game I have never seen a game focusing on Open-combat so much. You are literally playing a Warrior. Remember, this is called Assassin's Creed. Of course IT should be reviewed that way.

    The story is boring! there is no depth to it, episodes are all similar and there is a lot of repetition. I have already finished most of the game.
    The game play is also annoying. A lot of attention has been given to manual ability with the joystick (climbing the right house, finding the right spot to shoot an arrow, searching for an opening in a mountain, etc.) compared to strategy and stealth as in previous games of the series.
    Overall I am so disappointed, this game is so below standard compared to Odyssey or Origins.

Raids are one of the worst parts of the game as you need to wait for a friendly npc to open any door and then wait for another friendly npc to open the chests and sometimes they do not show up for a while.

    To me it looks like the members of a certain religious group following a certain religion of peace are trying to find ways to justify that they are gaining a foothold for their culture the current age all around northern Europe, hence they had the very good idea of attempting to rewrite the history of northern Europe. I guess that is the point of Woke culture. Unluckily I couldn't ask for the purchase to be refunded or I would have asked so.

    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.
