    Combat can be very brutal at times, reminds me Unity's combat. World feels more like Black Flag, but 2020 version. Well done.

    Whoever dislikes this game is not real Assassin's Creed fan. It's a fact! This game has every element that makes AC game and it's a good one at that. And if someone dislikes it because it has big map not just one city then maybe time travel back to 2010 or something, because 2020 clearly isn't for you. Every game is doing it.

Odyssey problem wasn't big map, Odyssey problem was too much pointless content and grinding, that's all gone in Valhalla. What's left is interesting and meaninful content and no grinding. Valhalla has two big maps and England has many cities where parkour is possible, very similar to Unity. Overall very good game. Unity was nice, but Black Flag did huge map even before Unity. Valhalla has best of both worlds. Even tho i really like Unity, it got bit boring after a while. That's why i like big maps where you can go somewhere else than city, you are not restricted in that one area. Expand

    Its just hilarious to read these hate comments. Most real "Assassin's Creed" fans seem to like this game a lot. I bet 90% of these who gave 0 or 1, never even played it. It's just too obvious. Literally created this account to show my support to this great game. Been fan over 7 years.

    Here's strong advice, play this with PS4Pro if possible. It's obvious that these new games wont run that well on 2013 consoles, that's just reality. Cyberpunk wont look that great either on base consoles and i can't believe they actually wanna bring Horizon 2 to base consoles. I mean it's nice to have these games, but don't give these games low score, just cause they wont run flawlessly.Here's strong advice, play this with PS4Pro if possible.

People shouldn't even start some nonsense like "it's not well made", when they literally have no idea what they are talking about. I'm so glad it got nominated for "Best Action / Adventure Game" at "The Game Awards". That alone shows that people who are part of gaming at least understand and acknowledge that it is well made video game!
    It doesn't have to win and very likely wont, that's not the point. What matters is fact that it got nominated.

    AC: Valhalla doesn't exactly re-invent the formula, but i think for now it's a good thing.
    They fixed what went wrong with Odyssey and brought back missing elements while making story, characters and world better. With next one they need to do some complete overhaul, but Valhalla is good beginning for next era Assassin's Creed games.

    Story is surprisingly good, it almost sucks to bring it out like some BIG thing, but Odyssey's story was too "all over the place" and boring, at least to me. It had way too much pointless filler. Valhalla actually innovates a lot and feels more like Black Flag and Unity in 2020.

Youtube videos posting about Valhalla get every day 100 000s of views, this game sold over 2million copies and was biggest launch in Assassin's Creed history. You can make up your "classic ubisoft" lies all day long, but this game already won. Deal with it.

    It's simple, 9/10 from me, oh sorry, 10/10, because some idiots keep giving it 0/10 for whatever reason.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla belongs to my top 10 of 2020 list. Absolutely nothing would take it out from that list. So good.

    There's a lot of room for improvements and i bet Cyberpunk comes out before all these can be applied, but i think they will support this game for long time into 2021, so it's all good. So far impressions are very positive.

    This new patch really improved this game, even tho it was amazing anyway, but it's good to get patches that actually improve stuff.

    No wonder it sold over 1.8mil copies, it's really good. I could listen that main menu music for hours lol.

    Seems so underrated or maybe it's just haters who make it look like it's underrated? idk, either way recommending, if you like open world games that have tons of stuff to do.

    This game has possibly most relaxing and same time hype music i have ever heard in video game. It's not some random tunes, but really well made soundtrack. Game is good too.

    I preordering it in June i think, i was 50/50 at first, but i was like "whatever", because setting was very promising. I had high hopes, but didn't want to over-hype it either. now been playing it 10 days or so and it's so good.

    Climbing mountains/buildings feels really smooth this time and this time there's actually places to climb unlike in Odyssey.

    Good game, combat feels nice enough, graphically true standout of 2020 games, story is good.

    It's rare when i don't feel that i lost my money buying a game. There's always this "maybe i shouldn't", but not with this one. I'm actually addicted.

    Graphics - 9/10
    Story - 8.5/10
    Music - 9/10
    Open World - 9/10
    Conclusion - 9/10, but giving 10/10 (because here's too many 0's)

    Ubisoft somehow managed to make really good game in like 2 years, nice. Far Cry 5 had nice graphics, but story was meh and Odyssey was cool at first but overall it was meh. I don't even wanna mention last year's Ubisoft games. Valhalla turns the tables. Hopefully Far Cry 6 continues this trend and they actually stay good, how nice would that be.

    Positive impressions after 10 hours of playing. Longer reviews later, but it's solid so far.

    I get serious Black Flag vibes, even tho i liked Unity too (i don't care about rough launch, they fixed it). Very good, hopefully DLC's are equally good.

    Patch 1.0.4 pretty much fixed every problem i had previously. I'm sure there might be some bugs, but i haven't encountered any in 5 hour playtime so far. Thank you Ubisoft.

    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]
