    Great game. Tip for anybody who is going to play or still playing like me: (80 hours in, little over halfway done) play it slow.

Tip for anybody who is going to play or still playing like me: (80 hours in, little over halfway done) play it slow. Meaning literally walk when near wealth, mysteries, when raiding and assaulting fortresses, when walking around towns and hamlets etc, taking your horse instead of fast traveling to destinations (unless quickly going to kill world boss in region you were in 20 hours ago) and just looking around villages and camps carefully. Don't play the game to finish. You miss beautiful aspects of the game. For example: fishing, - going to every body of water in a region and discovering + catching big new fish that make you feel cool - the extra finishers, - sorry to burst the triggered guys bubbles, but there are more finishers than just a sword through a Saxon and cutting arms off from behind (ie. each weapon + some combos has 2 more finishers that happen when you 1. use backstab perk from skill tree when enemy is one shot and 2. when you kill enemy from the front when they are one shot and staggered (not stunned) ) - riding all around some destinations, - (so far) East Anglia, Oxenefordschire and Cent is so dope just layout wise (they did coastline regions really well [talking about East Anglia and Cent] / maybe personal preference / my vibe) - confession boxes after killing order members, - makes them way more 3D and genuinely love seeing personalities matched with character models - burning straw houses with my torch every time around the open world - love the smoke effect you see from a far, the sort of red sky effect that happens when you burn enough houses close to each other and I just love being a manic viking - and talking with important characters after their "arc" - ie. I got an invitation to go to an ealdormans anointment in a region I was in previously with no quest being popped up after reading the invitation, so me being curious I wanted to see if the "world event" would actually occur and sure enough when I went to the last place I saw this important character, a cutscene ensued where he was of course annointed and a small dialog bubble with him was present. Small details like these make me love the game and make me feel like I actually changed something in the open world - fulfilling payoff. Yes you may complain that its not really "Assassin's Creed" but they brought back small things that may not be major to the story but help capture the essence (ie. hidden blade, social stealth and city arcs like Lunden, Jorvik and Winchester or Winchestre, I forgot ) so I can see Ubisoft still somewhat cares and I appreciate that. Some small gripes of the game: one of the arcs - Asgard - is relatively boring due to its lack of interesting narrative and overall region layout (still pretty though), I experience crashes on my base PS4 which can be justified because its a 7 year old console (mine is literally the first model) and I leave the console on rest mode which continues to run the game while I'm away just for convenience but at the end of the day the crashes are so minor because even though the game takes 2-3 minutes to launch back up, I only maybe lose 1 minute of progression because of the constant auto saves which I appreciate immensely. The narrative is an acquired taste. I personally like all but one arc in terms of narration (Asgard) but I can see why some people think the narrative is a little boring because of some pointless main story quests but I personally still get some fun out of them. Finally, I personally disliked the first arc of the game in Norway just plainly because I hate "tutorial regions" and its way to easy but again personal preference and I understand why it's their like in every mainstream game because not everybody is a sweaty narc like me (case in point: my dad - he's so bad but I love him). Some more small tips: play normal first - get the feel of the game - but aim to play very hard (challenge is fun, just trust). Stealth difficulty is fine at normal - I don't have it any higher because npcs still notice you relatively quickly and I have more of a warrior build for style in the battlefield. Recommend playing two handed weapons alone (not with shield or other weapon) - great sword and dane axe alone have brutal finishers. Other points I missed: 1. settlement is awesome - love building an entire town as I become more well known in the game + reminds me of AC3 (great game). 2. You'll love male or female Eivor - can be boring in beginning, but becomes such a badass as story progresses. Conclusion: Buy this game, play it slowly and you'll find enjoyment. Don't play just to check it off of "games I completed". What's the point of buying a $60 game to be the first to complete it? The only people who can justify being the first to finish is of course game devs and reviewers + Youtubers who want to be the first to post a specific part of story like the ending for maximum view potential. If you aren't any of those people who have a quota to fill, play slow. Expand

    Buggy game. I think it's the first time in PS4 that i have to remove a games because of bugs. The worst thing it's the saved games which 99% will not be loaded and you will have 10.000 different glitches. One day just to load it took me like half an hour only to lose 10 mnts later and then i was just frustrated. By far the worst experience i have ever had with AC games. Not recommended at all.

    I played all the major assassin's creed games and now Valhalla.
    I'm a big fan of the old assassin's creed games, and Valhalla tries to put some features and feelings from the old games here, although it's not the same thing anymore. The way you connect with Eivor is Pretty deep, he's not charismatic and overly excited like alexios / kassandra or bayek, and that's good, I felt a real person

    Ubisoft made a good balance between real history and mythology, you'll feel naturaly inserted into a Nordic culture.

    The game has bugs and some problems, but in my gameplay I didn't had any major problem, keep in mind that you can have it.

    It's the best assassin's creed history since Ezio, if you can call this game an assassin's creed game, and the best gameplay so far.

    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.

By the time I finished, I truly felt a kinship with these characters, and I've grown to really connect with Eivor. Gameplay is great, with fun raids, stealth missions, and challenging but enjoyable puzzles. There are two reasons I marked it down to a 9 out of 10: there are still many bugs (not game-breaking for me, but mostly annoying), and I didn't like how I basically wore the same outfit and used the same weapon the entire game. Unlike Odyssey where I got to try a bunch of stuff, I just upgraded the same armor and weapons. All in all, I'm a big fan of this game, and can't wait to jump back in when the DLC comes out! Expand

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.

At some point the story seemed to get my attention, but quickly got away cause of meaningless implementations of story parts which that didn't made any sense. The part that you can customize and get your own crew seemed nice at first, but also this element seemes useless because you can't do anything but repetitive raids with them. You can't summon them to aid you during fights or the storyline. You only can summon them when a river is close so you can travel the rivers with them. I really was hyped for this game but it disappoints in almost every way, except for the graphics. The world is beautiful. Expand

    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.

    The combat is great they perfectly capture the Vikings fighting style and gore animation, the main criticism they answered from the pervious game is the quest design they improved a lot of them, now you can go toward your main story our pursue side mission and gears.

    You don't have to complete the unnecessary side quests to level up the player to take on the main story missions.

    The story is not assassins focused but they are selling you the idea of what is to Viking raider in the 9th century England and I like that part.

    Now they should finish the series with last trilogy of games and explore the assassin's creed in other medium of entertainment.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is yet another Victory for Ubisoft! Haters can whine as much as they want, but nothing will change that. As a long time Ubisoft fan, it feels really good to finish off this awful year with this victory!

    One of the best games of 2020. Anyone who hates this game can go to hell and i seriously mean it. I wouldn't even talk with you in real life, if you give this game 0/10.

    Lmao haters on this site are just lowest of the low. Thousands of people on reddit are posting about this game, liking it, etc. But when someone dares to say on metacritic that he/she likes it, then it must be bots? jesus christ.

    This game was literally review bombed with over twenty 0/10 scores and now when fans are fighting back then some absolute losers dares to say that positive reviews are fake? This is next level pathetic, seriously.

    Finished main story and i have completed most of the stuff on each map and i'm very happy with the game so far. Can't wait for DLC's.

    I have hardly anything negative to say about Valhalla, because it fixes literally everything that Odyssey did horribly. Good one.

    This game has hardly any hardcore bugs, some small ones are expected in this big open-world game. But it's very much playable and runs well on any system. It's not even nearly as bad as Cyberpunk 2077, so haters should just stop their lies.

    Without this game 2020 would have been complete nightmare. This was one of the few things that allowed me to focus on something nice. Thank you Ubisoft.

    assassins creed vallhala is another success of the franchise for me at least, I liked the story, I got involved, I really felt like a Viking from the Ice Age, cutting off heads, sailing through England, the tales of the gods, the construction of the abode of the gods, the giants, the end of the campaign really fascinated me, combat with the weapons really well developed, the graphics veryassassins creed vallhala is another success of the franchise for me at least, I liked the story, I got involved, I really felt like a Viking from the Ice Age, cutting off heads, sailing through England, the tales of the gods, the construction of the abode of the gods, the giants, the end of the campaign really fascinated me, combat with the weapons really well developed, the graphics very well polished, the bugs are fully revealed and compensated with other elements that I just said, an engaging soundtrack, the songs on the boats mainly , well-developed characters, relatively large map, I expected to be a little bigger than the odyssey map, but it's a little smaller, congratulations ubisoft I'm waiting for the dlcs now Expand

    I didn't care for Odyssey nor Origins, but this one reminds me Black Flag so much that i just had to try it and it's really good.

    Я бы сказал, что это, пожалуй, один из лучших. Графически абсолютно потрясающе, куда бы вы ни пошли, освещение в этой игре очень хорошее. Эффекты снега в Норвегии также почти на высшем уровне. История действительно длинная и в большинстве случаев интересная. Хорошо.Я бы сказал, что это, пожалуй, один из лучших.

    It's so typical, when some game is doing extremely well and their overhyped trash fails, then they need to come here and just review bomb with 0's. p_a_t_h_e_t_i_c.

    I'm extremely confused with hate, for me it has been one of the best gaming experiences of 2020. Most 2020 games have been incredibly mediocre like - resident evil 3 remake, cyberpunk 2077, marvel's avengers and so on. But AC Valhalla felt like another class compared to these others.

    There way better story here than in Odyssey or even Origins. Graphics are also better than ever. Voice acting is on par with Unity, Syndicate and Black Flag.

    One of the best games of 2020, Doom Eternal maybe can compete, but not much else.

    Everyone who doesn't have this game and just gave it 0/10 should feel ashamed. Like really, this is NOT okay. AC Valhalla is good game and just lying make you look like fool.

    Cyberpunk 2077 was absolutely amateurish trash, i was extremely disappointed. Who would have known that Ubisoft manages to make one of the best Assassin's Creed games in same year. I'm 37 hours into AC Valhalla and really enjoying it. Highly recommended, if you wanna have actual fun.

    There's no question about it that AC: Valhalla is one of the better games of 2020. All this hate is so weird to me. Like don't you have anything else to do with your life than hating video games you don't like? Specially good ones like AC Valhalla. I would understand if you hate scam games like Cyberpunk 2077, but hate for AC Valhalla makes zero sense.

    Metacritic has always been place where haters come, that just how it is. But this time they have huge problem if they wanna hate AC Valhalla. I'll put it simply. It's very good game. Hating good game with your fake lies is not easy, so yeah. Good game, would recommend.

    My top 3 games of 2020 are following : 1. Final Fantasy VII Remake, 2. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, 3. Doom Eternal. Valhalla really managed to not only impress me, but also keep my attention for very long time.

    Beautiful graphics, nice main character that actually has good voice acting, how about that. Combat is very bloody, reminds me Unity's combat, open world is great. Would recommend.

    I'm really proud that Ubisoft managed to come back so strongly, after absolute failure that 2019 was. Even tho Ghost Recon was never their strong point, so in a way, 2019 doesn't matter much.

    There's tons of gameplay and trailer out there. Anyone telling that these who give 0 out of 10 actually bought it and hated it so much is simply lying. How about your losers buy the game first, before you leave your stupid hate reviews.

    I don't understand the hate, even tho yes i get that most people are enjoying the game, but these few 0's make no sense. There's no way that these people have this game.

    Might be best of Ubisoft in terms of creating an open world and story is also really solid.

    Well this small hate spreading is clearly made up by small group of people, because i'm playing the game right now and everything is just fine. This make no sense to come here and just leave bunch of 0 out of 10 scores. These people must have some serious issues.

    Story of "AC: Valhalla" is literally better than Odyssey or Origins. You can't even argue about that. Overall i'm very happy that they brought bad all the missing elements, like hood and hidden blade.

    Great comeback Ubisoft! Bought it day 1 and it was little rough, but still very playable, not even close to how broken Cyberpunk2077 is. But now after few patches it's basically perfect. Amazing game!

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla might be best open-world Ubisoft has ever created, at times truly breathtaking landscapes and mountains. One of the best in the whole series, just behind Black Flag, would recommend!

    Beautifully re-created Norway, England and even small part of North America, good main character and solid story make this one of the better ac games.

    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]
