    Here's a 10 to counter these fake 0's. Solid 9/10 AC game. Haven't had so much fun in any 2020 game honestly, maybe Final Fantasy VII Remake, but that's it.

    What bugs are people talking about? I'm playing right now and it's actually very solid. I remember Red Dead Redemption 2 PC launch, well that one was awful. Compared to that, Valhalla is basically flawless and everyone should keep in mind that Rockstar took 1 year to release PC version and they still messed up, while Ubisoft is releasing their game on 5 different systems Day 1.

Whoever gives Valhalla anything below 7/10 is just hypocritical and possibly never even cared about Assassin's Creed games.… Expand

DO NOT listen this minority who complains and hates new games. Never go back to AC1 or AC3, for the love of god, if you do, i will never buy your games again, i swear. AC Odyssey was weak, everyone knows it, but Valhalla was solid step back to what made AC games good. People seem to forget that Black Flag had huge open world to explore, so many locations. Only games from now on that deserve to be inspiration for future assassin's creed's are following: AC 4 Black Flag, Unity, some parts of Origins and Valhalla. That's it. I really believe in your company, you have made some great games over the years, please listen to your actual fans, who have supported you for years. Don't listen to small minority who just wants attention and wants to whine about your new games. They don't like anything you have made since 2013, there's absolutely zero reason to listen to them.… Expand

    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 really loved Odyssey (played over 100h) and Valhalla is even better. 10 is not enough.
    Can't wait to see how good this looks on PS5 cause on PS4 pro this looks stunning.

    Really surprised Ubisoft managed to make this. I mean they have had hits before, but after 2019 flop i kinda lost hope, seems i was too quick to judge. AC Valhalla is at least 100 hour game with tons of good content, locations, enemies etc. Story is also surprisingly good, specially if compared to Odyssey.

    It's funny to see all these zeros from these fake accounts who don't even own the game. I'm sure real Assassin's Creed fans will come out of shadows to support this one, because it truly deserves it. It's one of the best in the whole series.

    Similar to Odyssey and Origins in presentation and scale, but it's closer to ACII, ACIII and Black Flag at heart, bringing many old features and ditching some of the things that didn't work in the previous two games.

The exploration falls somewhere between that of Skyrim (compass + things appearing when close) and Ghost of Tsushima (visual queues), there's something organic about the whole.

    The game offers so much variety that one has to question whether those who claim it is repetitive have actually played the game. The three main elements are the main story, raids for wealth and materials and the settlement building, the latter two are dispensable. Outside of that there are world activities, mysteries (in various forms ranging from encounters, to mini-puzzles, all helping towards world building), collectables (or artefacts, from parkour puzzles to chase down schematics to roman objects), minigames (drinking, flighting, dice games), hunting and fishing requests, assassinations (order of ancients, zealots, daughters of Lerion) and overall world exploring (this world is worth it, there's a photo round every corner for those who like to use the photomode).

    All in all, the best the series has offered, using what worked in every entry and dismissing that which didn't. The combat could still be improved, but it's better than most of what came before (Unity had a combat system that worked in the setting, but was limited) and is closer to Origins than Odyssey. The parkour is limited, but the setting is also one that does not favour parkour (I think people place too much emphasis on this as it is only viable in settings that favour it, and having recently played ACII, I did not find myself using it much, favouring run around in the streets instead, the constant presence of guards on roofs does not make parkour that pleasant to use). As for stealth, Syndicate probably had the better stealth system, with the ability to crouch behind objects, but Odyssey was the game I used stealth in the most, and I find I'm using it a lot in Valhalla too, preferring to bow and assassinate my way through camps, but having the knowledge that I am combat ready should things fail. I think nostalgia makes people think the older games were more stealthy than they really were, ACII wasn't all that stealth focused.

    Up there with Red Dead Redemption II and Ghost of Tsushima as one of my favourite games for sure.    … Expand

    Uno de los últimos Assassin's que realmente me ha gustado, no tenía muchas esperanzas tras Odyssey pero me sorprendió muchísimo y para bien. No me divertia tanto desde Black Flag.
    Muy recomendable.

    Making maps bigger is called progress. Just like Rockstar did with grand theft auto series or RDR. People who want small, one city games are stuck in the past.

    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.

    Ubisoft already declared that this game was HUGE HIT and sold almost double the amount of Odyssey, so these fake zeros wont really change anything. These bots should just give up lol. People like this game, deal with it.

    Amazing soundtrack, i could literally meditate to that main menu music, so well done.
    If you hate this game, maybe just give up gaming or something, find new hobby, because you clearly aren't able to enjoy greatness. If it's not your style or whatever, that's fine, Assassin's Creed was never "game for everyone", but just hating it shows how pathetic you are.
    Amazing game.

    I am really happy with the game, the world looks amazing, the charakters are fun. The story is pretty nice (so far). Of course, no game is perfect, but no other series has touched us more than assassins creed. I played every part since 2009. And I am amazed what happend till then. So many adventures, some better some worse, but at the end they all gave me hours and hours of fun. Thx forI am really happy with the game, the world looks amazing, the charakters are fun.

    This game is incredible! Even just small details how insanely beautiful water looks when sun sets in England or Ice caves in Norway. There's so much to do and explore. But this game is very clearly not for people who just wanna finish quick game and move on to next one. I think everyone should know that at this point.

    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]
