    IT'S NOT UBISOFT'S FAULT IF your playstation version is censored, PLAYSTATION DOES IT AND HAS DONE WITH OTHER GAMES as well, COMPLAIN TO PLAYSTATION NOT HERE!

    The game is amazing, the graphics are beautiful and the characters are well modeled, the game has a lot to explore and if you want to have everything you will have to play for a long time, the story is also cool, the combat is different from the old ones and combines with thematic.

They can whine that it's maybe too long for their taste or whatever else they can come up with, but in the end it's good game that has solid writing and character, absolutely beautiful open world and no whining or complaining will change that.

    Basically someone found out that Playstation censors video games (been a thing for few years already) and now he is leaving 0 user scores? Pathetic. Ubisoft has nothing to do with this. Leaving 0 scores here makes no difference. They did literally same with Devil May Cry 5.
    Good luck with Cyberpunk 2077 because that one will be heavily censored on Playstation.

    Playstation always censors nudity and they will 100% blur out any nudity in Cyberpunk 2077. This is no reason to leave 0 scores to bring down user score. They did exactly same with Devil May Cry 5 Nudity, it's just typical Sony. Leaving negative scores here will change nothing. You should complain to Sony, not here! This is amazing game and doesn't deserve any 0's.

    This user score should be actually way higher but some hater made over 10 fake accounts and gave 0's to this version. That also explains why all others versions (xbox series x / pc) have way higher user score. Really sad that some awful people act like that.

And while many who like this game keep playing it and never really visit sites like this, metacritic attracts haters who very often don't even have particular game, just to give low scores, because it's so easy here. Any, absolutely any loser can make metacritic account with 3 minutes and give 0 score and that will affect overall score, it shouldn't be like that, but it is. For example yesterday one person made over 8 accounts in 20 minutes and gave 0's to this game, because his version was censored or whatever. His comments and scores are still on this site, that's how easy it is to manipulate that user score.… Expand

    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.

    Norway and England look both incredible. Contrast between them makes both of them special in their own way. I love architecture in England, old bridges, towers, etc. Graphically stunning.

Its not like previous ac games where youre grinding for hours with hardly any benefit. In this game every side activity is mercifully short and luckily interesting enough for me to check out most of the side content, not to mention extremely rewarding. The downsides are how easy the game is. Ive run into very little difficulty despite playing with both stealth and combat on hard difficulty. The challenge mostly comes from its side content usually requiring you to use a certain degree of intuition and exploration to find out where a piece of treasure is, or what an npc wants you to do. If you like a simple yet intriguing and surprisingly mature story, RPG mechanics such as changing your appearance with different hair/beard styles, tattoos, and outfits as well as different lines of dialogue, good if not great characters and voice acting, but dont mind the ridiculously easy combat, (seriously, dont worry about level gating) then youll most likely enjoy this game like i have.

    Now, the stealth actually is rather well done in my opinion. It makes you feel like a badass without making you feel like a god. I assassinated 4 people in a row using a combination of stealth and combat. I took two people out with the hidden blade, then hurrled an axe 70 feet to hit another enemy directly in the back of the head then scooped a sword from one of my previously assassinated victims off the ground and flung it at a forth enemy, killing him outright. Now if that doesnt make you feel like a badass, i dont know what will. However, the stealth is hampered by having no consequences when you get caught because, as i mentioned already, the combat is already super easy.

    Oh, i almost forgot. There are tons of bugs. Ive had quite a few crashes, but i was playing on my base ps4, so if youve got a ps5 or ps4 pro, i doubt youd have as many problems as me. But the fact that i praise this game so much despite all that should speak to how much i truly like this game.    … Expand

    Of course this one deserves 10/10, i'm not saying it's 10/10 game, more like 8. This one is actually solid game and haters are trying to bring it dow. If any game deserves 10/10 right now it's AC Valhalla. Without these 10/10's this score would be under 6, because there's so many absolute shtheads who just give it 0 or 1. That's pathetic.

    Digging this game's tone way more than i did with Odyssey. Odyssey was little bit too similar in all places. Everything was bright and colorful. Valhalla is very different in that regard. It has so many different areas and layers, nothing feels same. Even Norway and England look very different, but England in itself has very different looking areas. Game is good so far.

    There's way too much negativity on metacritic already, so i will try to be more positive, it's not 10/10 game obviously, but it's like 8.5/10 for sure.

    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

    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.

    This is most fun game i have played in 2020. Final Fantasy VII Remake was epic, but these are way too different games to compare. One of the best in 2020?

    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.

    Another amazing new product from the Assassin series that will take a lot of time to play. A good combination of ships from different cities and the story, including a lot of other missions. I've been stuck for 50 hours but I'm still a long way off.

    My god this game looks beautiful, story missions are pretty fun so far, but main standout here is open world (2 of them) that Ubisoft has created. This game might be their best map (or should i say maps) they have ever made in any of their games. Really cool world full of mystery and wonder.

    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]
