    Great game, but just a reminder, YES you can play it on 2013 consoles, however....
    You can't expect best graphics/fps, etc. You just can't, it's 2020 game, i'm sorry to break it to you, but it's time upgrade. If you really wanna play it on ps4 then ps4pro is your best option.
    But again, it runs well enough and is playable on 2013 console, just don't expect miracles. It's best to be    Great game, but just a reminder, YES you can play it on 2013 consoles, however....

    It's best to be played on PC, PS5 or Xbox Series X and that should be obvious. "i'm sure Cyberpunk 2077 plays and looks best on 2013 console". That was sarcasm by the way. I'm sure it's playable just like any other game, but there's a reason they showed PS4PRO footage not 2013 console footage...    … Expand

    I'm blown away by graphics and variety of locations this game offers. Honestly might be one of my favorites of 2020. Hopefully dlc's are good as base game.

    As i have both PC and PS4 version, i can say without lying that PC version is way better, BUT, it's nice to have PS4 version and play that when i don't have PC around. Overall very good game.

    Ubisoft actually gives you options, be happy and quit your whining.

    I think i know what it is. Not that many people really cared about mafia, so it didn't attract that many haters and it was easy to get mafia user score to normal, but AC is very popular, so of course it attracted haters. But it's absolute injustice, because this game is very good and it's literally ONLY ps4 game as of right now that is ACTUALLY GOOD, but has low user score. Every other ps4 game has normal scores, so it's very important to get this user score to normal, because it's one of the best games of 2020. For sony it's easy, i literally witnessed how fake asian reviews got Demon's Souls Remake to over 500 positive 10/10's in one day.
    But ubisoft and other companies doesn't have that asian army that upvotes their games, they rely on actual fans.    … Expand

Valhalla looks great, and being English, can appreciate the attention to detail in geographical changes, and the historical building contained therein. Just brilliant. What i can’t get ocer is the shicking Quality Control and Quality Assurance that simply did not go into this game. Block function rarely works as it should; follow this road / the river to your destination, doesn’t work. And worst of all, you know the mapping is duff when you’re worried your character will struggle to walk through a door / climb through a window without getting stuck on the environment. It always been this way and is controlled-throwing annoying. The mapping is at its worst when collecting the history pages - pretty much given up on that for now. The block function also seemingly has a massive lag when executing against harder foes. I’m 80 hours in and am struggling to find the will to continue. The poor mapping would be forgivable because of the sheer size of the map; however, its just something the development team have no fixed, and that just sucks. Last AC game for me - just fed-up with shoddy, half-done mapping.… Expand

Ubisoft releases good games and bunch of **** (i don't even wanna know what kind of trash games they play) will just fill this user score with 0's. I think main problem is that like 90% of Assassin's Creed fans wont come tho this site. This game sold over 1.8 million copies in first week, where are these 1.8 million reviews here? All i can see is some 360 negative reviews and i think at least 150 of them are double/fake accounts because if you look at these negative reviews comments, at least 30 that spotted were about some asian censoring issue and it seemed to be one person, making double accounts and just spamming 0/10's. That just pathetic honestly. I looked at Origins user score and there seemed to be actually lots of people also figuring this same thing out and giving it fair scores, but where are these people now? Did they disappear or something? If anyone reads this from reddit or some Assassin's Creed community, please just spread the word! This user score needs more positive reviews! It literally hurts me that thousands of people are giving likes to AC Valhalla youtube videos, but they can't take 5 minutes to come here and say that they like this game. How is it so difficult?… Expand

    I would say this might be one of the best ones yet. Graphically absolutely stunning no matter where you go, lighting is so good in this game. Snow effects in Norway are also almost top tier. Story is really long and most of the times interesting. Good.

    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.
