    This one keeps it real. Hood back, hidden blade back, good story back, good characters back, interesting map back.

    Games like this don't release that often, been gamin about 20 years and this is worth it. Really is. Specially after patch 1.0.4

    It's simple, 9/10 from me, oh sorry, 10/10, because some idiots keep giving it 0/10 for whatever reason.

    This new patch really improved this game, even tho it was amazing anyway, but it's good to get patches that actually improve stuff.

    Very beautiful open-world game with lots of secrets to discover and places to climb.

    In my opinion this one of the best assassins creed games ever made. So far very good.

    IGN gave this game 8/10, but Odyssey got 9.3/10, but This game is so much better than Odyssey and deserves at least 9/10.

    This user score is absolute joke, but hopefully this time, Assassin's Creed fans can turn this thing around. I did hardcore research on previous two AC games (Origins and Odyssey) for every system version and what i found was just hilarious.

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

    Бои более жестокие, чем когда-либо, очень кровавые, графика сюжетная, рекомендую всем фанатам этой серии.

    Positives so far: Graphics, Story, Likable Characters, Open-world, Variety of Enemies, Secrets, Classic Assassin elements are back.
    Negatives/Could be better: Needs some improvements, but overall very solid, specially after patch 1.0.4 that fixed lots of issues for me.

    Good comeback Ubisoft! This game has way more depth than i expect, hopefully that's how Ubisoft main titles will be from now on. At least AC and Far Cry.

    So far so solid, Assassins Creed Valhalla is a solid rendition of AC. The setting is beautiful, seeing Norway at night is stunning. Graphics are fantastic. Story is cool too, I have nothing bad to say about the story so far. The gameplay is ok, combat feels off. This might be just me, but combat feels like it needs tweaking. The AI is pretty poor, the AI bots take forever to notice you.So far so solid, Assassins Creed Valhalla is a solid rendition of AC. The setting is beautiful, seeing Norway at night is stunning.

    Very enjoyable Assassin's Creed entry, i almost gave up after Odyssey because it just got boring. It had nice graphics for 2018, but story was lame and it had too much grinding. But Valhalla turns this ship around completely. Grinding is gone, older AC elements are back, map design is so much better than Odyssey, story is solid, voice acting is good. Would very much recommend trying this!

    I like the settings of Norway and England, the raidings, social stealth is back, combat system with dual wielding weapons is fun and so is treasure hunting.
    I also like the fantasy-like atmosphere with dark forests, fogs, ruins, curses... I needed a game that I just have fun. I do not need anything spectacular or original or ground-breaking. Just pure fun. I enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima and    I like the settings of Norway and England, the raidings, social stealth is back, combat system with dual wielding weapons is fun and so is treasure hunting.

    Great fun, love the setting and Saxon England looks great. The time period they chose is an interesting one too. Exactly what I wanted out of a big, open worlder to be fair. Loads to do to keep you entertained and it's single player so you don't have to deal with anyone else which is nice. It's not quite the witcher 3 but I think it's great for whatever that's worth.

    Super well done Assassin's Creed, so far there's almost nothing i would say that i hate. I just like it more every day. Yeah some bugs, but i can't recall any open-world game that didn't have bugs at launch.

    Here's strong advice, play this with PS4Pro if possible. It's obvious that these new games wont run that well on 2013 consoles, that's just reality. Cyberpunk wont look that great either on base consoles and i can't believe they actually wanna bring Horizon 2 to base consoles. I mean it's nice to have these games, but don't give these games low score, just cause they wont run flawlessly.Here's strong advice, play this with PS4Pro if possible.

    Enjoyable assassin's creed experience as expected. I knew they can't just fail two years in a row. It would have been end of Ubisoft. Thank god they are back, nobody makes Assassin's Creed games as well as they do (when they get it right) and this time they did!

    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]
