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

    People who say that it's copy of Odyssey have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. yeah it has some similar elements and that's fine, because after all it's part of same series.

It's very well done re-creation of England and Norway in 800's and it's not copy + they fixed all the problems that Odyssey had, now you have hood that you can take off at any moment, hidden blade is back, parkour is back and there's no xp grind. You get xp very easily and 2 skillpoints each time. Very good game.… 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. My favorite assassin's creed game since Ezios games. Don't be bothered by those who criticised the irrelevance with traditional assasin ways. If you enjoy the stealthy way of doing things the skill tree offers you plenty of opportunities to build Eivor that way.… Expand

    Great game! Much improvement from AC Origins and Odyssey. I generally don't like mindless hacking and slashing but the fights in this game are enjoyable. Stealth assassins are superb and RPG elements are great. Side missions are great improvement from former AC games and can be challenging and witty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the length of the game. Interesting health recovery gameplay having to always find rations and not automatic recovery like previous games. Having to build the settlement and unlocking benefits from it like health, changing a companion, design of tattoos or the ship, and missions. I get skyrim like vibes with that gameplay. With the animus data glitch puzzles we see more of Layla, and I'm not complaining. I look forward to continuing the game, not that far into it yet. I believe this installment has what it takes to compete with Origins for the best overall Assassin's Creed game.… Expand

    Assassin's Creed: Valhalla restored my faith in Ubisoft. I was really worried after Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's actually understandable that all their games can't be hits, because they have so many studios working on different games, so no wonder some of these games are great and some are not.

There's absolutely no question that i'm bigger AC fan that he could ever dream to be. Calling Valhalla garbage is biggest joke in years. Valhalla is easily better than both Origins and specially Odyssey. Valhalla is first AC game in long time where it has been really interesting to finally explore the open world. You mentioned how interesting pyramids were in Origins, well of course. But here the thing, they were one of the few interesting things about Origins. Most of it was boring empty desert. I don't hate Origins, but it wasn't as interesting as Valhalla. Valhalla has way better story, better character and better open world. You said that England doesn't have landmarks or places to explore. Kidding me? London? Stonehenge? Huge castles? Mountains in Norway? There's so much to explore. Valhalla is easily one of the better designed maps Ubisoft has ever done, just behind Black Flag. There you go. You said that you laugh at people who think Origins is meh, well i laugh at you saying that Valhalla is garbage. There's clearly, very clearly more people who like Valhalla than Origins. Valhalla was biggest PC launch for Ubisoft EVER. It had over 2 million players in launch month alone. Jor Raptor gets 100 000s views on almost every Valhalla video he makes. People very clearly like this game and many have said that they absolutely love Valhalla map designs. Showing your "poll" as some evidence is BS, because most people answered that they haven't even played this game, but you said that people agree with you. Hell no. Thankfully you don't get that many views, so i don't really care that much, but this one video made me write this, because it was just too much nonsense. If you can have your BS opinion, then i have every right to have my opinion about your video and point out false things. I have been Assassin's Creed supporter and fan over 10 years and i very likely like games that you don't even like, because you seem like somebody who hops on hype trains. You know very well that people who whine about new games are just nostalgia nerds who hate every game after AC 3. I have always liked Unity and even Syndicate and i strongly doubt you like them.

I have finished Unity almost each year since 2015. I'm also playing 4 constantly, but i haven't finished it as much, because it's way longer game and i love to just free roam there. Now i would say that despite not liking 1,3, Revalations or Rogue (i hate to play as Templar), i would say that absolutely loving later games like 4, Unity, Syndicate and Origins makes me as much Assassin's Creed fan, as someone who only likes first 3.

    In fact, i would say i'm bigger fan than these people, because if someone gave up on this series in 2012, then how can you consider yourself a fan? Maybe early fan, but overall if you hate majority of these games, then you are not fan of this series. It's that simple. Why i'm even talking about it is because watching some youtubers making videos "Valhalla disappointed me", "Valhalla is boring" etc, made it very clear that these people were never gonna like Valhalla anyway. No matter what Ubisoft did, these people wouldn't be happy right now and they would still make their videos whining about smallest details that they didn't like.

    Instead of enjoying new games for that they are, instead these people want games to be what they want. That's obviously fair, but again, seems like they have ignored this series since 2012. It was so obvious what Valhalla was going to be. How can you be disappointed, when trailers and Ubisoft people on twitter made it very obvious what this game is going to be. Basically no matter what, these people just wanted Valhalla to be this most basic and boring AC Revalations or AC 3 clone and that's all these people want. That's the only AC game they want and if it's not that, then they are going to hate it. That's the sad reality actual AC fans need to live in, where Ubisoft makes great games, but nostalgic people who can't move on are going to hate these games and make their videos. Main problem with these videos is that these people are very clearly trying to manipulate and make other people believe that this game (and other games) suck. While actually problem is not the game, problem is that they just don't like it. Just cause you don't like something, doesn't mean that it's actually bad ya know?

    Conclusion : I very much enjoyed Valhalla, it's not perfect, but it's way better than Odyssey was. Story is more interesting than Odyssey's story. It has beautiful graphics, not as good as RDR 2, but still good enough and very modern looking. Combat is fun, main character (male Eivor) is very likable and better than main characters in Origins and Odyssey.    … Expand

    One of the better games in that series.

    Ubisoft has always made quality games, they are obviously no Rockstar Games, but neither are other companies and that's a fact. I remember how people whined about Ubisoft games and acted like "Cybermiracle 2077" will be flawless and amazing and we all know how this turned out. Now all CDproject fanboys are quiet. Good.

RDR2 is once in a decade masterpiece, why would anyone compare other games to it and then act like Valhalla is meh. No, Valhalla is not meh. Just cause RDR2 is out of this world masterpiece doesn't mean that every game that can't be equally good, is automatically meh. That's not how it works. It's not only fact that RDR2 had way way way longer development time, it's also fact that Rockstar is flagship of open world games in general. Absolutely no game in history of video games has as good weather effects as RDR2. Does that mean that every game that has worse effects is now meh? I don't think so. Valhalla is still good game no matter what. It's like saying every game in 2007 sucks because they have worse graphics than Crysis. That makes no sense.… Expand

Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the biggest fails of all time. Resident Evil 3 Remake was too short and boring. Last of Us 2 is one of the worst games ever made. Watch Dogs Legion is pathetic. Final Fantasy VII Remake has no reason to play again, even tho good game. Ghost of Tsushima has one of the worst camera angles in any video game ever, so i just can't play it, but it doesn't seem very interesting anyway. Marvel's Avengers is a joke. Mafia 1 Remake had good story, but has one of the emptiest open-worlds ever, there's absolutely nothing to do or explore.

    So what's left? Literally only one game - Assassin's Creed Valhalla!

Ironically this game isn't Liberal either. It's as Centrist as you can get in 2021. But obviously conservatives don't like that. It confuses them. Like "how can you possibly be so open minded and see both sides". Sad world we live in. In a way Red Dead Redemption 2 is way more Liberal than this game with it's forced feminist mission and i'm saying that as die-hard Rockstar fan. I guarantee GTA 6 has even more stuff like that, possibly more than any Ubisoft game ever. That's the gaming in 2020s and onward, forever. Deal with it. Witcher 4 will have way more focus on female characters and it will include many black characters. That's just how it will be. Witcher 3 will absolutely NEVER happen again. Never.

    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]
