    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is basically perfect game for this dark November till January time period. There's so many different locations like snowy Norway or stunningly beautiful England. So whatever mood you want, it's in this game. I'm really liking it so far. Some bugs here and there, but nothing crazy.

    Eu gostei bastante de AC Origins e de AC Odyssey, por ser um apreciador de exploração em mundos abertos. Mas AC Valhalla alcança um novo marco para a franquia - com uma ambientação mais profunda, intimista, com “gravitas”, onde as mecânicas se encaixam bem, os elementos são mais orgânicos e fluidos, onde o mundo apresenta mistérios e convida à exploração e descoberta.

Mas AC Valhalla alcança um novo marco para a franquia - com uma ambientação mais profunda, intimista, com “gravitas”, onde as mecânicas se encaixam bem, os elementos são mais orgânicos e fluidos, onde o mundo apresenta mistérios e convida à exploração e descoberta. E faz isso por trazer o mito dos Assassinos de volta com seu tom sombrio, mais sério e sem tantas galhofas, com uma paleta mais escura de cores, com diálogos e escolhas que tem maior impacto. É um jogo muito mais maduro, quanto jogo de fato é enquanto mundo aberto, e muito mais adulto do que os anteriores. Tecnicamente, não vi os bugs e erros que tem sido relatados. Arte e visual impecáveis. Fantásticos. Excelente direção de arte. Poderia ser melhor escrito (embora seja melhor do que os anteriores). Assassins Creed não tem roteiros decentes desde os tempos de Ezio. Mas, reforço: tem os mesmos textos em muitos anos. Eivor, aliás, é o melhor protagonista em muito tempo. Com essa mesma maturidade e profundidade que caracteriza essa edição de AC como um todo. Combate fluido, ao mesmo tempo bem cadenciado. Sem excesso de fantasia, com habilidades sem sentido que tornavam as mecânicas viciadas. A volta das mecânicas de “social stealth” agrega muita qualidade ao gameplay. Para o padrão da Ubisoft, que tem muita dificuldade em fazer mundos abertos que se destaquem, que pareçam mesmo vivos e formem cenários imersíveis, que valham a pena explorar e conhecer, esse é o melhor trabalho já feito. Ainda com espaço pra desenvolvimento, como a construção de comunidades e cidades com atividades ainda mais orgânicas e que permitam maior imersão (tavernas, hospedarias, lojas etc), de uma dinâmica de exploração com mais encontros aleatórios nos espaços abertos do mundo e com NPCs mais vivos e diversos, mais expressivos. Mas este é um AC fantástico, maduro e com ambientação profunda. Passos muito largos em direção ao que entendo como ideal foram dados. Um jogo de mundo aberto em que vale a pena se perder por horas.… Expand

    After playing this about 30 hours, i can say that this one is now permanently in my top 3 Assassin's Creed games list. Nothing will change that, it's so well done.

    The Hidden Blade is not hidden anymore
    (Figuratively and literrally) I am now 10 hrs into the game. Story is really intruiging. The combat mechanics were well polished. The openworld is more vibrant than the ones of origins and odyessey. Unfortuanetly the game is very buggy - patch 1.02.
    Another thing is the fact, that stealth became less relevant. I also dislike the vikings setting. But    The Hidden Blade is not hidden anymore

    It's really good, idk what else to say, other than some fps issues (hopefully will be patched), i don't have much to complain about. Combat is solid, two open worlds Norway and England both are incredible. So many secret areas, story is fun so far. Very good.

    Ubisoft did home run with this one. Reminds me Black Flag days, and it has this dark tone that Unity had. Graphics are amazing, parkour is finally good again.

    Great gameplay, great setting and fantastic visuals. However it needs ALOT of bug fixing before you can justify the price. Combat also needs a major overhaul as it's probably the worst of the bunch from the last 3-4 AC releases. If you are a hardcore AC fan, go buy this right away, you will enjoy it.

    Hat sich in nahezu allen Punkten im Vergleich zu Odyssey verschlechtert. Hauptstory ist gut, nebenquests sollte man am besten ignorieren und looten frustriert nur noch. Die Open-World sieht gut aus, ist aber sehr leer und dadurch macht das Erkunden kaum Spaß.

    Another amazing new product from the Assassin series that will take a lot of time to play. A good combination of ships from different cities and the story, including a lot of other missions. I've been stuck for 50 hours but I'm still a long way off.

    PS4/5 copies sold in all Asian countries are the heavily cut down and censored version (Zone3). Yes, we pay at FULL price for a cut down version!

    As for the game it self, is nice to look at, beautiful settings, but it just feels unfinished, so many little glitches making the game feel "robotic" and not smooth - i feel like its too easy to make wrong jumps during free run and overall the freerunning just dont feel that smooth, but this is not exclusive to Valhalla Ive felt this way for almost every Assassin's creed game.    … Expand

    In short, AC-Valhalla is the worst AC so far. A disgustingly repetitive grind game, with the stupid and embarrassing sidequests the series has ever seen.

    Ubisoft's games are just graphic blenders and pointless occupational therapy that can only be bypassed for an extra charge.

    This shows Ubisoft's philosophy. Ubisoft bullies single players with pointless and ridiculous tasks to force them to spend money to skip this crappy time-wasting grind.

    The presentation may be ready for a film, but AC Vahalla is a pure waste of time in terms of play. Like every Ubisoft game in recent years.

    The Metascore also proves once again how uncritical the "professional" media are and vote highly for every AAA game. Together with the army of (10er) fake reviews, who deliberately conceal all undesirable developments and the whole pointless time-consuming grind gameplay, it is clear that the voting is being manipulated here.

    I'm done with Ubisoft after this disaster. Three disappointments in a row are enough. I love the Viking setting, but Ubisoft is destroying the entire gaming experience with the repetitive gameplay. After a few hours you realize that you are always doing the same thing. The mass battles, for example, always follow the same pattern. At some point you just run through ...

    AC is dead. Buried by senseless open world gigantism, miserable quest design and completely repetitive gameplay.    … 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.
