    No matter what these awful youtube channels are trying to say (who have been payed to trash this game) it's not boring, this game is amazing. There's so much to do and explore and it's actually interesting this time, unlike Odyssey that was hit or miss. This one reminds me more like Black Flag and Black Flag is basically best Ac game, so there's that.

There's many youtube channels who actually understand this game and gave it positive/decent review, search for those, because unlike these "this is so boring", these people actually knew what game they were playing. It's Assassin's Creed not Devil May Cry. Both good, but very different and that's how it should be.… Expand

    Just amazing. A game of the year in my books
    . Everything about it looks absolutely stunning. The characters, graphics the combat S+ . The only downside are the frame drops but I guess my playstation is not strong enough . Plz Ubisoft we need more.

    Wayyyyy better than people are giving it credit. In many ways it feels like a return to the classic assassin’s creed. Don’t listen to the clickbait Youtubers!

    My experience -
    Positives: 1. Norway is well designed
    2. England map design is even better 3. More than enough secrets / mysteries 4. Story is fun enough 5. Main character's voice acting is one of the best in AC series 6. Combat is fun, specially with abilities, without it's just fine 7. So many towers / houses / places to climb, parkour is million times better than in odyssey 8. I    My experience -

    8. I really like some world effects, for example how ice breaks under you
    9. Variety of different enemies.
    10. Stunning graphics, landscapes, cities.
    Negatives:
    1. Like usual with Ubisoft games, performance could be better, but this
    launch is about 300 times better than RDR2 PC version launch (and Rockstar had whole years for that).
    2. Some bugs as expected with huge open world games, but nothing awful.
    3. Is it just me or water seems kinda empty? Maybe i just haven't explored enough idk, i was expecting giant squids, Odyssey had whales, so why not.
    Conclusion: One of the most beautiful and fun games i have played in long time.    … Expand

    I think biggest problem with Assassin's Creed games is that some people have absolutely no clue what kind of games these are.

Assassin's Creed has millions of fans around the world and AC Valhalla had one of the biggest Ubisoft game launches EVER. And while many who like this game keep playing it and never really visit sites like this, metacritic attracts haters who very often don't even have particular game, just to give low scores, because it's so easy here. Any, absolutely any loser can make metacritic account with 3 minutes and give 0 score and that will affect overall score, it shouldn't be like that, but it is. For example yesterday one person made over 8 accounts in 20 minutes and gave 0's to this game, because his version was censored or whatever. His comments and scores are still on this site, that's how easy it is to manipulate that user score.… Expand

    Finally something that's not 4 to 10 hours long linear experience. At the same time it manages to be fun, interesting and serious, not depressing like some other games.

    I would rather play this epic than remake of 10 years old game, but each their own i guess.
    PS: I'm not hating demon's souls remake, i just like original way more and i don't think this remake is that special as they make it out to be. Literally same game with 60fps and they praise it like it's better than RE2remake, makes no sense.

    Here's a 10 to counter fake reviews, most of them make absolutely no sense with their typical "ubisoft sucks, blah blah blah". So far this one is one of the top AC games. In fact everyone should give 10 to this game, even if you think it's 8 or 9, because there's just way too many losers who don't even own this game and they just give 0 scores. It's very important to fight back against this.

    The old AC games where crap. I really like the OpenWorld RPG setup. Awesome combat.
    Keep making these games UbiSoft.

    Absolutely amazing game, one of the best of 2020. Demon Souls remake was upvoted to over 140 - 10/10's with basically 20 minutes. I bet they use these same bots to downvote Valhalla. That's just disgusting.

    A cool cult story with an expanded world will immerse me in the game for 100 hours or more. This series already conveys a new picture of the Assassin and a various kind of mission with colorful cities and different secrets in the game.

    Surprisingly good Assassin's Creed game, not only better than Odyssey, but it's just so much better. But it's pretty obvious that tons of people don't understand the appeal of Snowy Norway or Beautiful England and just call it boring. That's a shame, but whatever. To me 5 hours long Spiderman Miles Morales is boring, so to each their own i guess.

    -Not repetitive.All the world events are special
    -Open world usually a bit dull in other ac games but this feels like its alive
    -Absolutely amazing questline
    -Settlement and seeing your choises outcome

    And I think only bad thing is AI but you can play on berserkir or drengr difficulty

    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]
