    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just the same ol' reskinned and rehashed none Assassin's creed game since Origins. Ubisoft is saving money by making an updated version from previous two games. Sure it's a different setting but with the same boring animations and combatplay. Side missions are repetitive, uninteresting and too many as ususal. Main story is meh and gameplay is ok the first 3 hours and then it goes downhill. Trash game… Expand

Seems like this game has been the final nail in the coffin regarding Darby's departure from Ubisoft, hopefully he joins a team that will give him freedom to create the story he wants to create. It is hard not to see this game as a money grabbing tool that Ubisoft have created with the Helix store, limiting the amount of content (armour sets, weapons) in the base game then adding all other content behind pay walls is disgusting charging £10 - £15 per armour pack for a 'singleplayer' game, I wrote a post on reddit and made a petition regarding this if you want to know more follow the links below I go little further in depth regarding the matter.

    Assassin Creed Odyssey was an amazing game, I was thinking to support Ubisoft to buy this game from them. I never was sooo wrong. In future even when this game was on 50% discount I will thing twice to buy it.

    P.s. Music in game is not playing (I have 5.1 Surround system) :D

    Only liked by graphics nerds or people who don't understand gaming. The gameplay is VERY boring, it has the same mechanics we have already seen used a thousand times. People who want an actual game will hate it. So many delusional idiots giving it 10/10s smh.

    Альтаир, прости, мы всё просрали...

    Это игра - посредственность. Её графика это жидкое мыло, её геймплей это пластмассовый конвеер одних и тех же действий как убей, подай, найди. Система паркура просто ужасна, персонаж перемещается как старая бабка. Персонажи этой игры все как один одинаковые, а именно, скучные дегенераты. Мне было абсолютно насрать на каждого персонажа этой игры,    Альтаир, прости, мы всё просрали...

    Это игра - посредственность. Её графика это жидкое мыло, её геймплей это пластмассовый конвеер одних и тех же действий как убей, подай, найди. Система паркура просто ужасна, персонаж перемещается как старая бабка.

    Персонажи этой игры все как один одинаковые, а именно, скучные дегенераты. Мне было абсолютно насрать на каждого персонажа этой игры, мне было насрать на их роль в сюжете потому что это не персонажи, это игровые куклы, с которыми ты играешь и выбрасываешь.
    Эта игра встречает игрока ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНОЙ работой со звуком. Звуки сжаты, на них наложен какой-то стрёмный фильтр и всё звучит ужасным эхом из бочки. Игру с таким звуком нельзя выпускать в 2020-м году, это позор.

    "Найди, убей, принеси, подай. Иди нахуй, не мешай" - тезис всей игры.

    Сюжет очень затянут и он просто уничтожает тебя. Я чуть с ума не сошёл выполняя все эти однотипные идиотские сюжетные задания, которые никак не влияют на сюжет. Да, всё, что вы сделаете в процессе своего пути, никак вам не аукнется. Эта игра и этот сюжет - это издевательство над игроком.
    "Навыки" в игре это отдельный пример того, что в этой игре всё сделано просто для галочки. В игре суммарно 402 "навыка". Почему в кавычках? Потому что это не навыки, как раньше, например, было, двойное убийство, нет, это просто поделенные на кучу частей бафы к текущей статистике игрока. Где-то плюс к урону топором, где-то плюс к урону луком, это бесполезная система, которая не делает твоего персонажа сильнее или уникальнее, она нужна просто для того чтобы ты качал свой уровень и шёл дальше по сюжету.
    За всю сюжетную линию игроку предлагается 4 романтических опции: 3 из низ с мужчиной. Я играл за мужского персонажа. Это выглядит как навязывание своих специфических ценностей и это за гранью нормы. Вы не имете права никому ничего навязывать. Вы не имете права заступать за личные границы человека.
    У меня ни одна игра не вылетала столько, сколько вылетает это говнище. У меня ни одна игра не выдавала столько тупых багов, сколько выдаёт это говнище. Бывает, что персонаж неудачно спустился, застрял в текстурах и спустя время просто сдох. Вы считаете, что это нормально? Ubisoft, алё?

    Время когда Ubisoft делали хорошие и серьёзные игры уже прошло. Сейчас это компания импотент, которая делает пластмассовые family-friendly игрушки для маленьких деток. В их играх нет серьёзности, нет драмы, нет качества, нет оптимизации, нет прикосновения человеческой руки. Игры этой компании делаются очень тупым искусственным интеллектом, а не людьми, на этом у меня всё. Мне очень жаль людей, которые потратили на эту игру деньги.    … Expand

Not only was it installed for the first time in such a way that it gave an error at startup, nevertheless, after a complete reinstallation, it started up, so much so that it would be better not to start. The dullness in front of the scripts is very large, sometimes you wait 2 seconds, sometimes the download icon drops, which can hang for 5 seconds or freeze forever. So, actually, my second attempt to play this game ended, having approached the first synchronization point, I got a pause for the game with a loading icon, while it was possible to enter the menu, see the map, but it was impossible to move further. It was decided to restart the game after 10 minutes of waiting, after which it stopped starting, giving an endless load at startup.… Expand

    They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy. They trick you starting off, but a good 20 hours in and its chasing map markers over a huge map thats sparsely populated for quests that aren't all that interesting (except a handfull). Only now there isn't any loot game and the character builds don't feel impactful at all.They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy.

    I loved this at first, but the more I played, the more I just wanted it to be over. The huge power level gap they throw at you at the end also just doesn't feel good. Its great at first, but as you play it the cracks start to show and despite a large world with a lot to do, theres a point where just....none of it feels interesting or engaging. Its all mediocre at best.    … Expand

Because irl "fun" isn't mindlessly completing tedious after tedious objectives, watching the same automated killing animations over and over again, and falling asleep through some average voice acting and terrible lip syncing. Why is it so hard for these people to create characters that we genuinely care about. Black Flag was decent IN 2013, how has the same studio created less compelling characters 7 years later? But even if the story is bad, the game can still be fun outside of the narrative right? Of course it could. Well it's not, it's boring.

    Now my thoughts out of the way, do not buy this game I am being serious, this game is a huge waste of money and time, the sad thing is that really wanted this game to be good, I remember the first showcase in June and I was scared of how **** it looked, but I was like " Nah it will be fine they will fix it", Boy was I wrong, this game is a buggy mess with freeze frames, screen tearing, absolutely stupid A.I. and other tons of **** you at this point they should just stop making games, in general, this game was one of the worst games of this year, no this decade. if you like this game that is good for you and I am actually happy that you found a game in this **** of trash.

    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.
