    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just the same ol' reskinned and rehashed none Assassin's creed game since Origins. Ubisoft is saving money by making an updated version from previous two games. Sure it's a different setting but with the same boring animations and combatplay. Side missions are repetitive, uninteresting and too many as ususal. Main story is meh and gameplay is ok the first 3 hours and then it goes downhill. Trash game Expand

Seems like this game has been the final nail in the coffin regarding Darby's departure from Ubisoft, hopefully he joins a team that will give him freedom to create the story he wants to create. It is hard not to see this game as a money grabbing tool that Ubisoft have created with the Helix store, limiting the amount of content (armour sets, weapons) in the base game then adding all other content behind pay walls is disgusting charging £10 - £15 per armour pack for a 'singleplayer' game, I wrote a post on reddit and made a petition regarding this if you want to know more follow the links below I go little further in depth regarding the matter.

    Assassin Creed Odyssey was an amazing game, I was thinking to support Ubisoft to buy this game from them. I never was sooo wrong. In future even when this game was on 50% discount I will thing twice to buy it.

    P.s. Music in game is not playing (I have 5.1 Surround system) :D

    Альтаир, прости, мы всё просрали...

Система паркура просто ужасна, персонаж перемещается как старая бабка. Персонажи этой игры все как один одинаковые, а именно, скучные дегенераты.

    Это игра - посредственность. Её графика это жидкое мыло, её геймплей это пластмассовый конвеер одних и тех же действий как убей, подай, найди. Система паркура просто ужасна, персонаж перемещается как старая бабка.

    Персонажи этой игры все как один одинаковые, а именно, скучные дегенераты. Мне было абсолютно насрать на каждого персонажа этой игры, мне было насрать на их роль в сюжете потому что это не персонажи, это игровые куклы, с которыми ты играешь и выбрасываешь.
    Эта игра встречает игрока ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНОЙ работой со звуком. Звуки сжаты, на них наложен какой-то стрёмный фильтр и всё звучит ужасным эхом из бочки. Игру с таким звуком нельзя выпускать в 2020-м году, это позор.

    "Найди, убей, принеси, подай. Иди нахуй, не мешай" - тезис всей игры.

    Сюжет очень затянут и он просто уничтожает тебя. Я чуть с ума не сошёл выполняя все эти однотипные идиотские сюжетные задания, которые никак не влияют на сюжет. Да, всё, что вы сделаете в процессе своего пути, никак вам не аукнется. Эта игра и этот сюжет - это издевательство над игроком.
    "Навыки" в игре это отдельный пример того, что в этой игре всё сделано просто для галочки. В игре суммарно 402 "навыка". Почему в кавычках? Потому что это не навыки, как раньше, например, было, двойное убийство, нет, это просто поделенные на кучу частей бафы к текущей статистике игрока. Где-то плюс к урону топором, где-то плюс к урону луком, это бесполезная система, которая не делает твоего персонажа сильнее или уникальнее, она нужна просто для того чтобы ты качал свой уровень и шёл дальше по сюжету.
    За всю сюжетную линию игроку предлагается 4 романтических опции: 3 из низ с мужчиной. Я играл за мужского персонажа. Это выглядит как навязывание своих специфических ценностей и это за гранью нормы. Вы не имете права никому ничего навязывать. Вы не имете права заступать за личные границы человека.
    У меня ни одна игра не вылетала столько, сколько вылетает это говнище. У меня ни одна игра не выдавала столько тупых багов, сколько выдаёт это говнище. Бывает, что персонаж неудачно спустился, застрял в текстурах и спустя время просто сдох. Вы считаете, что это нормально? Ubisoft, алё?

    Время когда Ubisoft делали хорошие и серьёзные игры уже прошло. Сейчас это компания импотент, которая делает пластмассовые family-friendly игрушки для маленьких деток. В их играх нет серьёзности, нет драмы, нет качества, нет оптимизации, нет прикосновения человеческой руки. Игры этой компании делаются очень тупым искусственным интеллектом, а не людьми, на этом у меня всё. Мне очень жаль людей, которые потратили на эту игру деньги.

    They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy. They trick you starting off, but a good 20 hours in and its chasing map markers over a huge map thats sparsely populated for quests that aren't all that interesting (except a handfull). Only now there isn't any loot game and the character builds don't feel impactful at all.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.

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.

    Mediocre middle and ending.
    And now I am going to explain why this game sucks, dear reader do remember the glory days of assassin's creed, oh yes assassin's creed 1-4, these game had passion love, and work put into them and these games were focused on love and passion rather than the money that came from them, sure you can say that all companies care about is money, and you wouldn't be wrong but there is a difference between a game that has actual work put into it than this hot piece of garbage.
    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.

    Since the new "Assassins" turned out to be a completely uninteresting project, about which there is nothing to tell, I better acquaint you with the cult Russian film "The Green Elephant".

    The Green Elephant (Russian: Зелёный слоник, romanized: Zelyonyy slonik, also known as Green Elephant Calf) is a 1999 Russian psychedelic exploitation horror film directed by Svetlana Baskova. The movie received a limited theatrical release in Russia, as the film's violent imagery and graphic language made it unable to be distributed through the mainstream film circuit. The film was shown at the 2005 International Film Festival Rotterdam and the program commented that the movie was "even more urgent because of the escalation of the war in Chechnya and growing criminality in the Russian army".

    The film stars Sergey Pakhomov and Vladimir Epifantsev, and follows two Russian officers locked in a military prison cell that must deal with "social and psychological problems" in their isolation through brutality and torture.

    Two men (both being junior officers in Soviet Army, in 1986), nicknamed "Bratishka" (Brother) and "Poekhavshiy" (Nutcase), are being held in a penal military prison. The room which they share looks like a dark cellar with a dripping sewer pipe running through it. One of the prisoners, Nutcase, seems to be delirious and never stops talking. He tells stories of his past, sings the song of the "Green Elephant" circus, does push-ups, comes up with crazy ideas and even mimics a heron in an attempt to cheer up his cellmate Brother, leading only to an increase in his anger. He receives a violent beating from the enraged Brother, before he is then taken from the cell by a guard to clean up a dirty toilet bowl with a fork.

    HorrorNews.net wrote an overall favorable review for the film, stating "By the end, we find ourselves asking a lot of questions; of ourselves, of the director, of our television screens. What did we just watch? Why did these people do what we just them do? What does it all mean? I can't answer those questions, but I can tell you that it is an experience that I am happy to have gone through, and I'd definitely be interested in checking out more of Svetlana Baskova's movies.

    I was really looking forward to playing this game, but due to a bug on an early quest called " A seers solace" you are unable to progress at all.

I haven't been able to get any response from Ubisoft support in 2 days. Hopefully they can get a patch out soon to fix this problem but as of now the game is broken. Expand

    In defiance of each country's review criteria, Ubisoft unified the Asian version into the Japanese version as if the Asian country were only in Japan.

    I don't feel the impact of fighting because of censorship.

    If Ubisoft really cares about its Asian users, it has a duty to revise the censored version.

    Censorship reduces the fun of the game and Ubisoft didn't say anything about it until just before it was released.

Y si encima agregas que tienes una barra de Stamina que cuando se acaba no se llena sola, sino que tienes que recibir o dar golpes para recargarla, total estupidez. La visión de Asesino (Vision de Odin como lo llaman ahora), no dura prácticamente nada activa, solo aparece y se desvanece sin siquiera darte la oportunidad de ver tu entorno, la vista desde el Cuervo (ave) a penas logra notar a los objetivos en el suelo, es mejor ni usarla (Una pena compararla con la del Aguila en AC Origins).

    Literalmente la peor Asssassins Creed de toda la saga, ni siquiera Unity fue tan mala. Básicamente quisieron tomar lo mejor de todas las Ac pasadas y ponerlo en una sola, (Barcos, Vision de Aguila, Vision de asesino, mecánicas de pelea de Ac Odysea y Origins, Usar la Hermandad como en Brotherhood) pero se siente como que no se detuvieron a completar nada, solo pusieron un monton de cosas incompletas en el juego.

    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.
