    This game has so much more content than spider-man miles morales and is way better than demon's souls remake (yes i tried them all, demon's souls remake is awful by the way and spider-man miles morales is way too short). If i could recommend one game from november 2020, it would be Assassin's Creed Valhalla, maybe Black Ops too, but that's it really.

    I thought they don't make good games anymore?? Apparently i was wrong, this game made me speechless when i first booted it up. Voice acting, story, open world, graphics, different cities and hidden locations. This game might have best looking water i have seen in any video game ever, because it's kinda my hobby to compare different game's water effects and this one is just absolute top tier.

    I feel bad for these people who leave 0/10 scores. I would hate to be so empty and sad that i need to give 0/10 scores to games that i don't even play. Must suck to be one of these people.
    Thank you Ubisoft for this amazing game tho!

    Assassin's Creed is not something you can quickly finish and move on to next "cool game". This game series focuses on exploration, stealth and really just enjoying the environments.

    Highly recommending this one, if you have ever even slightly liked AC games. Hidden blade is back, you can remove your hood at any moment or wear it if you want. Both England and Norway looks incredible. There's so many places to climb and parkour. Graphics are also 10/10.

    Like i totally get it when someone is burned out of Odyssey and is not interested playing another 100 hour epic, but here' the thing, this one is so much better than Odyssey ever was.

Not only that, it's overall great game, good story, good voice acting, amazing graphics, one of the best map designs in history of Ubisoft. It's easily one of the best games of 2020, there's not even much competition. Like of the few games that can compete with this (from 2020) is Final Fantasy VII Remake and maybe Doom Eternal, that's literally it. These two are completely different games from AC Valhalla, so it's almost unfair to compare them, but all of them are quality games.… Expand

    Just chilling around in huge forests in England gives this mystical relaxing vibe and then the music, this games has absolutely amazing soundtrack. Yeah performance could be better, but it's still perfectly playable and runs better than RDR2 did on PC for 2 months. Overall it's very good.

    This is good, i mean it. But Far Cry 6 needs to be something completely new, they can't make another Far Cry 5, NO, because we already have that game. It has to stand out, it has to be different, if it isn't, delay it already! And next wave of Ubisoft games needs to have complete re-invention in 2022-2023. Stuff like Prince of Persia remake with weak animations needs to be gone, forever.This is good, i mean it.

Valhalla is first good step into the future of Ubisoft, it's really well done game, but now things need to go even further. Really DEEPLY focus on writing, Valhalla is good, go even more deep! Invest more into your products, you have good directors, give them all the freedom the need! I know you can make good stuff, you have done it past, you can do it again, i really believe it.
    I believe in you Ubisoft, because i have really liked some of your games (AC 4 Black Flag, AC Unity (after patches obviously), Far Cry 3 and even some Ghost Recon Games, even Watch Dogs 1 was good, even tho it wasn't perfect. I would hate to see you go down like this. What you did in 2019 is unforgivable, but every company messes up at times, In fact all your games have better writing than Fallout 4 or Fallout 76, not that it's good comparison, but just saying. But you need to take Rockstar as your inspiration and i feel, in a way you already do. That's good! Just focus on quality, fix more bugs before release and just do good games. That's all it takes. I'm so far loving Valhalla and i have high hopes for Far Cry 6 and future of Ubisoft, Please don't let me and all your fans down!    … Expand

    im about ten hours in and the game is great so far, yes there was a few bugs but they are gone now with the patch. People who are saying it is a reskin or copy paste is lying to themselves and everyone else, and clearly did not play the game. ubisoft put in the work and it is not a reskin by any means. the world is beautiful and the story is intriguing. and i for one love the brutal combat.

    Side note: It has better voice acting than previous two games, just something to point out.

    If there was one game from January 2020 to November 2020 period i could play, i would easily choose this one. It's just amazing. It has some bugs here and there, but that's expected from large open world games. Cyberpunk 2077 will have them as well, no matter how much they polish it. Top 5 game from 2020 without any question. Highly recommended.

    Basically, it's a good Assassins Creed RPG, though very light on the Assassin part. Not Ezio saga good, but so far it has given me a better experience than Odyssey overall. Particularly in the worldbuilding, the 'World Events' Read: Quests, but they're just interactions with various odd locals, ranging from helping someone deliver a crate of apples, to stealing clothes at a nudist party.Basically, it's a good Assassins Creed RPG, though very light on the Assassin part. Not Ezio saga good, but so far it has given me a better experience than Odyssey overall. Particularly in the worldbuilding, the 'World Events' Read: Quests, but they're just interactions with various odd locals, ranging from helping someone deliver a crate of apples, to stealing clothes at a nudist party. They're misc. quests, but they're handled very well here.

    Meanwhile the story also offers a different experience from previous games; Where before, you're either the main Assassin, in this one, you're their ally. Offering them shelter, helping them rebuild, but (at least for the time being) solidly from the outside looking in. Which feels fresh.

    Aside from the small bugs we all know will probably stay, what really bothers me in this iteration is the sound levels. Sound effects and the Protagonists' voice seem to be on a very different setting from other characters voices, forcing you in some situations to either have a hard time hearing the NPC's, or get deafened by your own character.

    Combat also feels a bit slower, and difficulty settings in combat once again only serve to make your enemies damage spunges while turning you into a wet blanket, but even so it feels right to play it at the highest difficulty. Enemies take several hits to take down, and you can similarly take about as many hits as the average mook/low-class enemy from enemies at your level. I imagine lower difficulties would be shockingly easy though, and just adjusting damage and health numbers remains a sloppy way to balance in my opinion.

    What also grinds my gear is that platforming and the like seems to have been reduced to a matter of two buttons; Hold A (xbox) to free run, press B to drop. I miss the days of AC: Unity, where you actually had significant freedom of movement, and where parkour took skill to truly master.

    In summation: The world itself and the story so far, have been interesting, fresh iterations on the standard Assassins Creed formula. Modern day story also seems quite interesting for what little there has been so far. (~10 hours of play, 1 Modern Day part.) Two points taken away due to:
    1) Bugs
    2) Sound balancing
    3) The horrifically oversimplified movement.    … Expand

    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.
