    Basically someone found out that Playstation censors video games (been a thing for few years already) and now he is leaving 0 user scores? Pathetic. Ubisoft has nothing to do with this. Leaving 0 scores here makes no difference. They did literally same with Devil May Cry 5.
    Good luck with Cyberpunk 2077 because that one will be heavily censored on Playstation.

    Very obvious "The Game Awards" nominee and rightfully so, it's not only better than Odyssey, it's almost new level good.

    With Censored? there is no viking. There are only puppets and puppet shows. Eivor are dancing with puppets whole the playing time. this is ridiculous! I bought a game about the great adventures of vikings, not a sesame street!

    Someone needs to ban these asian bots, this is not okay to give zero scores just like that. It's just disrespectful.
    PS: Playstation censored devil may cry 5 just like that and i guarantee they will censor cyberpunk. It has nothing to do with Ubisoft.

    Ubisoft discriminates against Asians
    Don't ignore it and come up with a solution.
    Asia is not Japan.

    Please update the new file for PS players of Asia.
    We are so angry that follow the Japanese law, but we are not Japanese people.
    This is not fair for all Asia people without Japanese.

    It's so good, one of the best Ac games for sure, it has every element to make it great.
    It' should be nominated @ The Game Awards alongside games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, Jedi Fallen Order, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman Miles Morales and Half Life: Alyx.

    Everything in this game is boring, generic, unambitious, buggy garbage. Just painfully average in every way. It's a giant pile of meh. Combat? Meh. Exploration? Meh. Story? Meh. Voice acting? Meh. Combat? Meh. Missions? Meh. Graphics? Meh. Sound? Meh. Music? Meh. In short, it sucks. This game sucks.

At no point during my playthrough was I playing because the game made me want to play it. The ONLY reason I kept playing was the game was already in my house and I'd have to take two hours out of my day to return it, and now that I've finished the story I wish I had taken those two hours to return this pos. It would have meant that I didn't just waste sixty hours of my life dragging myself through this mess of a game. Add to the overall middling quality of this suck fest the fact that it's riddled with bugs and it's a single player game with micro-transactions and this is an absolute zero out of ten. Screw this game. Screw Ubisoft.… Expand

    Perfect game for 2020 November, mystical beautiful world to get lost into. I personally like games where there's always something to do. Even tho i love GTA 5, my main complaint was always that story was too short.

    Poor version in Asia. No blood, no dismemberment, no war. Should Asian use love to settle the battle in England?

    I was a little worry first (we all know Ubi), but after roughly 30 hours in game on Drengr difficulity I must say, that Vallhalla is easily best AC game ever released. I still can't believe how good this one is. Highly reccommended.

    Not sure why some losers still wanna pretend that it's bad game, while it's clearly not. In fact it opposite, it's great. Honestly no matter what this score will be, Ubisoft already said that AC Valhalla has Massive launch. Almost Double the sales or Odyssey and people are clearly liking it, so it's official, it's great game.

    It's a shame too because the setting was ripe for something new... and all those claiming it takes fresh new directions must be smoking some good **** because AC Valhalla is about as generic as it gets.    … Expand

    I was really looking forward to playing this game, but due to a bug on an early quest called " A seers solace" you are unable to progress at all. The only solution is to delete the game and start over without updating the latest patch. That is hard to do when you already have 6 or so hours into the game doing side missions and other content.

The lack of support from Ubisoft on the matter has been incredibly disappointing and its amazing such a high profile game can have such a major issue that renders the game unplayable on release date. I haven't been able to get any response from Ubisoft support in 2 days. Hopefully they can get a patch out soon to fix this problem but as of now the game is broken.… Expand

    Epic open world game full of magic and wonder, secrets and mysteries. In what other game can you go back in time to 800s Norway and England? That's right, there's none. This game is just blowing me away no matter what direction i go or what i do and it's actually well written, main character's voice acting is amazing. Graphically stunning. Highly recommending.

    Ubisoft have done it ahain, the story, the location the history, the people all brought together for the perfect game.
    Anything less than a 100 or a 10, is not worth reading. Have played it on both ps4/5 and it's well worth the money.

    Pretty bad when a AAA game has sooo many bugs. Glitches aren't even the bad part, if only. The day one patch released literally broke the game, can't progress in the story on the 3rd chapter of act 1. jfc. I have already spent at least 8 hrs exploring and ubisoft's suggestion is to uninstall and restart because it's early on in the game?!?! No thank you.

    im about ten hours in and the game is great so far, yes there was a few bugs but they are gone now with the patch. People who are saying it is a reskin or copy paste is lying to themselves and everyone else, and clearly did not play the game. ubisoft put in the work and it is not a reskin by any means. the world is beautiful and the story is intriguing. and i for one love the brutal combat.

    Valhalla is fun to play and has some good elements to it however it feels too similar to odyssey and at often times feels like Ubisoft reskinned too much of odyssey in this game.

All though the game world is beautiful and the soundtrack by Jesper kyd is amazing, the game really suffers from a lack of identity especially in what it says it is versus what it actually is. Norse Gods, magic and monsters, riding wolves. This game is not Assassins Creed and since odyssey AC has really lost it’s identity. Bring back the old AC, get rid of the heavy rpg elements, revamp the combat, build a better parkour system, and give us Assassins vs Templar’s. The fact that Ghost of Tsushima felt more like an AC game than Valhalla, really says a lot about what Ubisoft is ignoring and what made this franchise great to begin with.… 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.
