    I barely touched any of the previous games so im going into this story and type of game as a new person in the AC series. Personally for me im having a blast playing Valhalla! I love the time and place this game takes place in, I love the environments, I love the skills and the skill tree setup. The story also has been keeping me entertained, well worth the price for the base game.

    I have some concerns with the game personally for me and I feel like it will insult somebody if I mention them on here so ill reserve that for myself. Other than those few concerns the game has crashed on me a few times but just a few days ago they released a big patch so im glad they are still improving on the game and fixing bugs because ive run into a handful of them playing so far.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this game, 35+ hours in right now and I haven't even gotten half way done yet. I love these long immersive open world RPG games.    … Expand

    Graphics and the world are amazing! Extremely immersive environment. It would get a 10 if the combat was a bit more engaging. Definite worth the buy.

    Aporta muchas mejoras comparado con su antecesor. Sin llegar a ser un titulo perfecto, sabe cautivar con el estilo vikingo de saqueos, banquetes y ambiciones. Devolviendo un poco la esencia de pasados Assassins. En resumen, un titulo que disfrutaran mas los fans de los ultimos juegos, que los fans de siempre, aunque en mi caso, siendo fan desde el primero, lo estoy disfrutando y mucho.

    A great game! I had to start by saying that. I love everything that has something to do with vikings or norse mythology, so for me, it was something amazing diving into this game. I really liked eivor as a main character, but I would have liked if they dropped the whole interchangeable sex thing so it can be a better rounded up character.

I really liked eivor as a main character, but I would have liked if they dropped the whole interchangeable sex thing so it can be a better rounded up character. It is visually stunning, combat is really nice and I haven't experienced any concerning bugs. Maybe some fish swimming on land but that was funny. The soundtrack is on point. I really don't have anything bad to say about this game. It can stretch a little if you are a completionist like myself, but nonetheless, a very good game from ubisoft. The ending left a bitter taste in my mouth, but oh well.… Expand

    I just finished the main story, and I really enjoyed the entire journey so far. The story is really well-done, with great characters and varying objectives. The way the game is split up into chapters is great, and each story is really gripping and sometimes emotional. instead of tons of side quests, there are small one-beat "world events" that range from hilarious to heartbreaking.

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

    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

    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.

Nothing game-breaking, just some bugs can happen, but not like all the time, it's rare to encounter them. Bugs are kinda expected from open world game of that scale. For example this launch is way, way smoother than RDR2 PC launch, not even comparable and i deeply love RDR2, just saying.… Expand

    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]
