    Just made this account to say that bots are very clearly trying to hurt this amazing game. If you have ever liked Assassin's Creed PLEASE support it with all your power. This game needs every support possible! Let's get this over 1000 positive reviews to show the haters how important this series really is! Valhalla is actually good game and truly deserves every praise possible.

Now that they are absolutely back on track with Assassin's Creed Valhalla, i can't wait to see what they do with Far Cry 6, i have high hopes for that game.… Expand

    It's was very much playable already, but needed some work. After today's patch 1.0.4 it's basically perfect. All major issues i had are now fixed and it plays well on any system. Graphics look better than ever, framerate is solid. Amazing 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.

If it was PS4 exclusive, ps fanboys would praise it as one of the greatest games, but it's not exclusive, so that's kinda obvious why this game has so many zero scores, they are butthurt.

    I bet there will be tons of people who wanna give this game 0 or 1 scores because they are empty, sad people who are not able to enjoy anything good. I will give 10 just for that, but i would give 10 no matter what to be honest. This game is truly amazing. I actually can't believe Ubisoft delivered that well this time. I was hoping it will be good, but wow.

    This is the best from the last 3 games using a similar architecture. I really like the combat which is less messy and nervous way too fast like in Ubi Quebecs titles and more timed based.. you feel more in control.

Also the stealth area work very well and similarly to the OG games. There is a little more weight to the character as well and the horses animation though not as perfect as in Ghosts of tsushima are a big improvement. The AI could feel unresponsive at first but it is actually pretty well adapted to the situations. I would complain about bugs and lack of polish but most (weird transitions from cut scenes to gameplay) is resolved if you dont play the game off of an external hard drive like I did. I wish Ubi would push the tech further to get a mix of euphoria and the animations from a naughty dog game. Hopefully they are pushing in that direction for their true next gen games. As it stands for a cross gen it's pretty awesome. If you're a fan of the series or a fan of big adventure games get it you won't regret it.… Expand

    Absolutely masterful comeback from Ubisoft. It's kinda hard to believe it's the same company that made Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Watch Dogs legion was fine, but AC Valhalla is just something else. Depth of this game blows me away. At least now i have something to do until Cyberpunk 2077 (hopefully) comes out.

    From graphical standpoint this game is absolute masterclass, they really hit the nail with both Norway and England. This game's soundtrack is one of the most beautiful and relaxing soundtracks i have heard in long time in any video game. Combat is good, cities look interesting enough. There's many places to climb and parkour on. Overall very good.

    I would recommend Youtube channel "Downward Thrust" review of this game. He is one these people who actually understand this game, not one of these "it's so boring, blah blah blah". I'm personally not going to write long review, because there's so many people out there who know how to say things better, so i will make it short. This game is absolutely amazing.

Or maybe he is just tired of these huge game-worlds, i guess that happens when you start taking gaming as a job, instead of fun hobby.

    As a long time Assassin's Creed fan i'm loving this one. World is so well designed, graphically stunning (Specially on PC maxed out, not that stunning on ps4). I have both versions, so when people say that graphics aren't that good, that means they haven't seen PC or PS5 versions, because these versions look incredible.

    According to Ubisoft this game was huge success and as hardcore assassinscreed fan i'm very happy for it. This game is amazing anyway, but just to hear that it's actually doing really well just made this november so much better. It's so much better than Odyssey that these two games shouldn't even be compared. This is more like 2020 Black Flag or something like that.

    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.
