    I'm no fan boy, but I love where ubisoft has been taking the assassin's creed series, I mean assassin's creed was getting old and needed change! And ever since origins I've been hooked on AC again!!! I mean open world with rpg and awesome loot was exactly what this series needed and I hope ubisoft continues with this formula.

    The 9th century dark ages England settings is just great, supported by a well done graphics and audio. The ambience is incredibly immersive.
    As for the gameplay it's an AC formula overall. A huge skill tree and many different abilities make it really fun to play and allow different builds.

    It's an epic piece of art that does away with many of the bothersome aspects of the franchise. It's not many times that I have been this impressed by a game, the presentation is nothing short of stunning. The visuals, the music, the audio, game play mechanics, story, atmosphere ... it as all here, and it's top shelf stuff.

    Best game in the series in a while probably one of the best, customisation, exploration, amazing stealth, blending, growth so many fighting styles and abilities!! Immersive as it gets perfect mix of callsic old ac realism and the new rpg style! INCREDIBLE!

    BUT UBISOFT removing voice line because someone was offended is dangerous and frankly diabolical !

    I love this game! Playing AC Valhalla is like going to a "buffet". There are many things to do but just don't try "chew" them all in one go. Rushing to finish the game as soon as possible can make you feel bloated and bored. Take your time and don't rush to finish the game. Enjoy the progression of the journey.

    I've played every single assassin's creed game apart from 3 and rogue. I absolutely love the AC games and my favourite had been black flag. But now..my favourite is Valhalla. It's the best assassin's creed game in my opinion. What origins and odyssey had failed to do was immerse me into its story. Valhalla however has a compelling story (probably because I love Vikings).

There are things that Valhalla copies from black flag and I love it. Hopefully Unisoft will release loads of dlcs and keep working on Valhalla before they release their next one.… Expand

    Eu gostei bastante de AC Origins e de AC Odyssey, por ser um apreciador de exploração em mundos abertos. Mas AC Valhalla alcança um novo marco para a franquia - com uma ambientação mais profunda, intimista, com “gravitas”, onde as mecânicas se encaixam bem, os elementos são mais orgânicos e fluidos, onde o mundo apresenta mistérios e convida à exploração e descoberta.

E faz isso por trazer o mito dos Assassinos de volta com seu tom sombrio, mais sério e sem tantas galhofas, com uma paleta mais escura de cores, com diálogos e escolhas que tem maior impacto. É um jogo muito mais maduro, quanto jogo de fato é enquanto mundo aberto, e muito mais adulto do que os anteriores. Tecnicamente, não vi os bugs e erros que tem sido relatados. Arte e visual impecáveis. Fantásticos. Excelente direção de arte. Poderia ser melhor escrito (embora seja melhor do que os anteriores). Assassins Creed não tem roteiros decentes desde os tempos de Ezio. Mas, reforço: tem os mesmos textos em muitos anos. Eivor, aliás, é o melhor protagonista em muito tempo. Com essa mesma maturidade e profundidade que caracteriza essa edição de AC como um todo. Combate fluido, ao mesmo tempo bem cadenciado. Sem excesso de fantasia, com habilidades sem sentido que tornavam as mecânicas viciadas. A volta das mecânicas de “social stealth” agrega muita qualidade ao gameplay. Para o padrão da Ubisoft, que tem muita dificuldade em fazer mundos abertos que se destaquem, que pareçam mesmo vivos e formem cenários imersíveis, que valham a pena explorar e conhecer, esse é o melhor trabalho já feito. Ainda com espaço pra desenvolvimento, como a construção de comunidades e cidades com atividades ainda mais orgânicas e que permitam maior imersão (tavernas, hospedarias, lojas etc), de uma dinâmica de exploração com mais encontros aleatórios nos espaços abertos do mundo e com NPCs mais vivos e diversos, mais expressivos. Mas este é um AC fantástico, maduro e com ambientação profunda. Passos muito largos em direção ao que entendo como ideal foram dados. Um jogo de mundo aberto em que vale a pena se perder por horas.… Expand

If you are waiting for the PS5 to get smaller and all the bugs to be worked out then upgrade to a Pro now. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to figure this out and wait a year or for GOW to be released to buy one. This is the best Assassin's game I have played to date with 45 hours in.

    I have never played Assassins creed before. So for a new user to the series, I REALLY am enjoying myself.

    The story is super fun, although some character animations and voice overs are bad. It does not ruin the overall experience.

    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.

It is MASSIVE and I love 100+ hour rpgs as it feels i get my moneys worth, but if you don't like games that go on and on, that might be something to consider. Not perfect, but if you are a AC fan, this is a welcome addition to the series.

Теперь квест это не только завуалированное иди подерись, а теперь это может быть интересная история, загадка, расследование или что-то вроде и при том не обязательно что во время прохождения придется вообще драться. Тоесть теперь каждый квест это непредсказуемое приключение а не протсо очередной бой. Очень порадовали. Так же хочется отметить красоту и детальность игрового мира, в целом графику и оптимизацию. Хоть оптимизация и хорошая, но в игре присутствуют баги, у меня например обрывками воспроизводились диалоги, канаты и кусты с морошей не отображались, дракар пропадал с карты, дальность прорисовки иногда бросается в глаза, иногда персоонаж застревает в нелепом месте, мол не может пройти там где нужно просто поднять ногу и опставить её на камень, ну это я так чего с ходу вспомнил а так там ещё много разного. Отмечаю конечно что монетизация в игре так и осталась очень сильной. И я говорю не просто про платные DLC (это вообще норм, плюс в игре даже есть бесплатные DLC), а говорю я про встроенный в игру супермаркет. Там вам и оружие, и костюмы, и внешние виды птицы/лошади/дракара, ресурсы, карты секретов, ускорители и усилители опыта и экономии времени, лутбоксы, комплекты, ну в общем буквально все за ваши деньги. Вкладывать не хочется вообще, но только представьте что если вы захотите придать какой-то прикольный вид своему герою и его транспортам то будьте готовы выложить ещё 3-4К и это за один только комплект, а из игры специально вырезаны почти все прикольные комплекты что бы вам хотелось вложиться. Ну в общем несмотря даже на баги и ужасную монетизацию плюсы игры все равно сильно перевешивают и играть наконецто действительно интересно. Девять бубликов из десяти возможных.… 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.
