    **** moron policy with Asian PlayStation version.

    It’s fraud that Ubisoft didn’t notify us we are going to get censored version cuz JP CERO.

    But I’m **** LIVING IN TAIWAN.

    NOT IN JAPAN!

    I’ve supported AC series since AC2 the Ezio.

    And I can tell you that you are just putting your supporter away.

    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.

    I would love to say: "It´s a good game and I can`t stop plpaying!", but since I can`t even start the mainquest, because of a bug, which doesn`t alloughs to speak to NPC`s and after a restart my savegames are corrupted, I would say it`s pretty bad progmmed. They should have waited a few more weeks.

    Боевая система стала получше если сравнивать с Одиссеей, хотя хотелось бы большего, пореалистичнее, попадания и движения более настоящими и чувствительными. В том же Синдикате она выглядела лучше и реалистичнее. Графика, прорисовка и картинка однозначно стали лучше. Эти аспекты для меня лично самые важные, всё остальное второстепенно.Боевая система стала получше если сравнивать с Одиссеей, хотя хотелось бы большего, пореалистичнее, попадания и движения более настоящими и чувствительными.

How can a team of passionate developers create this? Do the people who play these games have the same concept of "fun" as the rest of us? Because irl "fun" isn't mindlessly completing tedious after tedious objectives, watching the same automated killing animations over and over again, and falling asleep through some average voice acting and terrible lip syncing. Why is it so hard for these people to create characters that we genuinely care about. Black Flag was decent IN 2013, how has the same studio created less compelling characters 7 years later? But even if the story is bad, the game can still be fun outside of the narrative right? Of course it could. Well it's not, it's boring. IT'S SO GODDAMN BORING. i think i'd have more fun throwing a tennis ball against the walls of my room than playing this game, even if it was free to play.

    Esto si es una viaje por el Valhalla y una auténtica aventura que rememorar tras el fiasco que supuso Odyssey que ofrecía un gran juego pero la experiencia de asesinos había sido totalmente arrebatada del juego. En esta nueva experiencia que nos lleva desde Noruega hasta Inglaterra realmente podemos disfrutar de un juego que técnicamente se sale y es muy disfrutable.

    The series has never looked better. For PC gamers, make sure you have World Detail set to "Ultra", which seems to basically function as a next gen toggle on/off.

The audio sometimes abruptly ends or doesn’t match the lips. I’m lucky I’m even able to play it. My brother is stuck at the beginning of the game because of a Game Breaking Bug where the Seer’s Solace quest line doesn’t even show up for him so he cannot progress in the game past the 1st quest. It’s been almost two days and there is still no update for it. The combat is so unbelievably bland, boring and easy. It’s actually atrocious. The controls are clunky. The camera is also so far away during combat I can’t see anything. I’m playing on the hardest difficulty and it’s a cake walk. The “social stealth” is an absolute joke. It’s not even a thing. They lied about the fact that they made the world smaller than Odyssey. (It’s actually bigger)
    If this game did not have the Viking aesthetic, it would be an absolute flop. The voice actor for Eivor is amazing, love him. Overall, the game feels like they wanted to do something great, but it lacks heart. The graphics are bad, and the character models move weird.
    It feels like just another “open world AC game” with a different skin. (don’t just be large for the sake of being large) They have completely lost track of what Assassin’s Creed was, and moved on to something new, that could be cooler, but fails miserably. AC needs to be a 3 year cycle game, and they need to listen to their fan base. Ubisoft only seems to care about sh***ing out games and making money, which will end up hurting them in the long run.    … Expand

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.

    Best Ac game since Black Flag. Incredible open world, actually two of them, because Norway and England are on separated maps. So much to discover, story is really enjoyable so far, voice acting for main character is perfect. Can't believe they will add Ireland later as well, not like it's huge world already, but i'm not complaining. More of this Ubisoft, more of this.

    Oh Ubisoft what are you doing. Bad watchdogs 3 are followed by bad AC. Even if it looks good, it is still sick inside. The game wants to please everyone and thus destroys itself. There is no clear red thread that the game works on. In addition, the characters have hardly any emotions you could see on their faces. That was better with Origins.

There's so much to do, voice acting is great, story is great, graphics are amazing. It's going to be something i'm gonna play until cyberpunk comes out. There's not much else anyway.

    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.

Compared to something like Ghost of Tsushima this game is an absolute failure. About 4-5 hours in the main Quest "The Prodigal Prince" got bugged where an NPC you were supposed to follow would just stand still. There's nothing you could do about it, you simply couldn't progress through the Main Story. I don't even feel like writing up all the bugs and performance issues I encountered. In summary, terrible combat, animations, lots of game-breaking bugs and performance issues. Bland, dull, uninspired, clunky. Only positive I can find is that the environments look good.

    I was really lookig forward to this new Assassins Creed game, because it combines Assassins with Vikings. My two favorite themes combined. I have been a fan from the series since I met Ezio in Assassins Creed 2, but still I have mixed feelings about this game.

I have been a fan from the series since I met Ezio in Assassins Creed 2, but still I have mixed feelings about this game.

    Platform: PS4
    Edition: Ultimate Edition

    The positive about this game is that it looks really stunning. The world is amazing, the northern light in the sky, the snow that looks so real, and the sunbeams that fall upon the earth. It is really a marble for the eye. Before you start you will have a short but simple tutorial that shows you the basic commands. And after that you are free to start your journey.

    The reason why I still have mixed feeling about trying to continue this game is because the game does not feel it is finished. There are plenty of bugs to be found. In my game I for example met my brothers wife Randvi, the second time I met her she was invisible. (There was a floating speach bubble though.) I could talk to her but she still remained invisile.
    Also traveling around on horse I find that the game lags a lot, the screen seems to freeze every 30 seconds to render the world. The same world that looks gorgeous, but it also feels empty somehow as it is mostly just snow/mountains.

    The fighting system is okey, however there is a stamina bar on your ability to dodge and fight. If you miss a hit or dodge your stamina will drain fast. As for the viewpoints, you climb up on it only to realize you first need to learn the 'Leap of Faith' skill in order to be able to jump off and not fall to your possible death.

    My conclusion is that this game feels more like a Skyrim RPG, rather then an Assassins Creed game. The game is sure pretty, but it also has many bugs, and it feels it is made more for the PS5 then the PS4. Some bugs you could overcome but there are even story quests that bug out by being unable to activate or start.

    I realise not everyone will have a bugged game, so other players may have other experiences, but in my case the game has some serious issues. It even prevents me from continueing the story line because a quest character does not spawn./cannot interact with him.    … Expand

    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.

    Way better than Odyssey. It may have just much bloat but it’s fine tuned and focused a lot more. It doesn’t seem so overwhelming and I like the darker tone. Combat is back to how it was with still trying to make it the new mechanics introduced in the previous two games. Not sure what if I like it 100% but it’s fun and the grit is most welcomed.

    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]
