    Very impressive game, huge landscapes and mountains to climb, engaging story, good music, more of this Ubisoft and less of whatever "Breakpoint" was.

    Amazing game! But Ubisoft come on, you need to bring it to steam. It's so important and you would get so much sales from there as well. I understand that you want to promote your own store and that's completely normal, Rockstar is doing exactly same thing, but they also put their games into steam. Why not both?

Unlike some haters who sit all day on this site and give low scores, actual Ac fans don't sit here. Actually Ac fans are enjoying this game, they don't care what some losers think and they don't even have time to come here and give some votes. So basically your loss, if you hate this. Fans are enjoying it no matter what, you can give your fake 0/10's all day long, nobody gives a sht. And don't come with this usual comeback "well you reply so you must care", no, i don't.

    One of the best of 2020 and i'm saying it dead seriously. No game has so much content from this year (so far of course), resident evil 3 and avengers are absolute jokes compared to this. Making 5 hours long game that's sold for 60 should stop. AC Valhalla is easy 150 hours cool content with beautiful graphics.

    Cyberpunk is nothing new or nothing special anyway. It's literally mixture of Skyrim and GTA V, absolute wannabe with worse world details than GTA 4 from 2008.
    I'm extremely disappointed in Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 (PC as well) performance and bugs and very soon millions of other people will be as well. Cyberpunk fanboys always whined about other games when they had any bugs at launch and acted like "Cyberpunk 2077 will be this "Absolute Next-Gen miracle". It's time for reality check i guess.

    It's weird paradox that Assassin's Creed has millions of fans all over the world, but for some reason they never really come to metacritic. Maybe it's because AC fans are more mature and don't give a f_ck about some random scores on some random pages, that would make sense actually.
    And it sold over 1.8 million anyway, so basically who cares about metacritic user score at this point.

    Just because you have sht taste in gaming doesn't mean that game is bad okay? Most people seems to enjoy Valhalla a lot, many call it their favorite AC game ever. Odyssey was trash, but Valhalla is completely different and one of Ubisoft's best games they have ever made. You obviously haven't even played it. I don't even wanna know what kind of trash games you like.    @ greatricardo

    Not that this user score matters much, because for example RDR2 PC version has user score 5.6/10 and it's extremely popular game. But i just can't stand people who leave fake low scores, so i just made this account to support this game with 10/10.

Go to "Dream World" or explore hidden underground locations, raid, loot, fight bosses etc.… Expand

    Thank god i found Gamespot review for Cyberpunk 2077, they literally gave Cyberpunk 2077 lower score than Valhalla. Cyberpunk must be really buggy, because 7/10 is pretty low score for game that has been in development over 7 years. So as of right now i bought Valhalla and so far it's pretty nice. Maybe trying Cyberpunk 2077 in 2021 when they finally fix the game.

    Cuando vi anunciado en un sinfín de páginas web (incluido YouTube) el nuevo lanzamiento de Ubisoft y que llevaba el nombre de "Assassin's Creed Valhalla", al momento me imaginé a que época nos iba a trasladar este videojuego. Ubisoft aseguró en múltiples conferencias por parte de sus directores, que la esencia de "Assassin's Creed" se iba a renovar, que íbamos a regresar a la época doradaCuando vi anunciado en un sinfín de páginas web (incluido YouTube) el nuevo lanzamiento de Ubisoft y que llevaba el nombre de "Assassin's Creed Valhalla", al momento me imaginé a que época nos iba a trasladar este videojuego. Ubisoft aseguró en múltiples conferencias por parte de sus directores, que la esencia de "Assassin's Creed" se iba a renovar, que íbamos a regresar a la época dorada de esta franquicia. Tras haber concluido la historia principal y haber explorado lo suficiente el juego (en total 75 horas) puedo dar mi opinión, la opinión de un jugador experimentado, que ha jugado a todas las entregas de esta franquicia.
    "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" renueva y no renueva la franquicia. Por un lado, las mejoras son sustanciales en bastantes aspectos. La narrativa principal ya no es tan aburrida y sin jugo como en anteriores entregas (me refiero a Odyssey especialmente). Esto se debe que pese a que la historia principal es muy extensa, en esta ocasión se presenta dividida en una especie de capítulos. Cada capítulo se desarrolla en una región de la Inglaterra del siglo IX que si bien repasamos algo de historia, la heptarquía anglosajona era la que triunfaba en esta época. Cada historieta será diferente, conoceremos a los personajes principales de cada emplazamiento, algunos, solo algunos, muy pocos mejor dicho, también enlazarán a una narrativa principal algo escondida y desaparecida en algunos momentos. Lo que es verdad, es que estas historietas se basan en lograr forjar una alianza estable con tu clan (el Clan del Cuervo). Otra punto positivo es que los diálogos ya no están tan vacíos de valor narrativo, aunque muchas de las misiones son bastante clásicas y se hacen algo repetitivas de nuevo. Lo mejor sin suda de la narrativa es que ahora Eivor (nuestro protagonista vikingo) es un personaje que no podemos moldear, es un personaje hecho y maduro, trabajado, que aunque podamos tomar decisiones solo afectarán al final de la historia. La historia gira en torno a un personaje, entorno a Sigurd, el cual es el líder del Clan del Cuervo, hermano ,pero no de sangre, de Eivo y juntos desembarcaran en una aventura en Inglaterra, en busca de gloria, fama y forjar una vida de libertad frente a la imposición de un rey noruego llamado Harald que se adueñara de toda Noruega, eso si, a través de paz y superioridad diplomática. El desenlace de la historia me pareció muy bien elaborado, impactante y misterioso, enigmático, como muchas de las secuencias que se narran.
    En cuanto a las mecánicas, el combate es bastante similar al de Odyssey, aunque en ciertos aspectos se nota mas contundente. También hay nuevas animaciones, mas sangrientas y crueles, decapitaciones y desmembramientos bien trabajados. Una cosa que también han mejorado es el inventario, el cuál se nota mejor distribuido y menos caótico. Ahora, las armas son únicas, así como todas las piezas de equipo, una decisión sabia que despeja el inventario y que da mas originalidad a nuestro aspecto. Además, todas las piezas de nuestro personaje se pueden mejorar en el herrero, dándoles mejorías de atributos, diferentes aspectos y la posibilidad de añadir runas que otorgan beneficios, especialmente en combate.
    El movimiento es idéntico al de las dos ultimas entregas. Un "parkour" desmejorado, menos impactante, que en esta ocasión añade alguna animación nueva. El movimiento del caballo es también el mismo, aunque se nota algo mas fresco y veloz, pero que sin embargo se nota ya muy pasado y anticuado, poco trabajado. La calidad del agua aun es notable (no como en "Watch Dogs Legion"), con unas físicas bien trabajadas, las cuales se pueden apreciar con cualquier embarcación o movimiento en ella.
    Sin embargo, también presenta puntos negativos. Al haberlo jugado en PS4, al instante me di cuenta que esta consola ya no mueve tan bien los videojuegos mas exigentes. Muchas texturas tardan en cargar, parecen sacadas de PS2 y hay que esperar ciertos segundos para verlas con claridad. La inteligencia artificial sigue siendo muy tonta, los "NPCs" parecen no tener vida de nuevo, carecen de personalidad. El mapa es de nuevo enorme, aunque por lo menos la exploración es ahora algo mas difícil y las ganas de exploración aumentan, aunque al final, tras haber sincronizado una atalaya se nos revelan todas las ubicaciones y actividades.
    En definitiva, "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" corrige muchos errores cometidos en años anteriores aunque de nuevo estamos ante un juego que parece que se hizo con demasiada prisa, sin tener en cuenta detalles que marcan la diferencia entre un buen juego y un gran juego.    … Expand

It's very obvious that more people actually like Valhalla way more than Odyssey. It's their best selling PC game of all time! i just feel Ubisoft fans are hiding in the shadows. They are too mature to argue on internet. They don't care about pointless drama. They just want to enjoy games. But i feel like sometimes Ubisoft fans should fight back stronger. Yeah it's cool you praise these things on reddit, but there's way more important sites and metacritic is one of them.

    No youtuber never mentions some random reddit "praise post" but they always show metacriti'c user score and these videos get 100 000's on views. This is manipulation 101. I know it's pathetic, because metacritic user score is most meaningless thing on this planet, but fact is, that these people are using it. It's just bunch of losers, usually some tasteless crackwatch-reddit users who hate on Ubisoft in general. They don't even play their games, they don't even care about their games. They are just pathetic, whiny losers and nothing else.

    When Far Cry 6 comes out in few month, i guarantee, bunch of Ubisoft haters (who will never buy Far Cry 6 btw) start giving it 0/10 scores and i feel like this time Ubisoft fans really, really need to fight back. It has gone too far. Cdproject red released most talentless game in 20 years and these people still try to praise it, while hating on Ubisoft's perfectly decent games that actually work. Like i said, these scores don't matter at all, they never did, never will, but i feel like Ubisoft fans (and there are millions) should for once actually try to fight back, even if it's just to annoy these haters. Even that would be worth it.

    It has nothing to do with company. Ubisoft has made lots of games i don't care about at all (Breakpoint, Division 2, For Honor, Crew 2) and if Valhalla would be one of these bad games i would ignore it as well, but that's not the case. Valhalla simply isn't bad game. It's just not and nothing, absolutely nothing will change that fact.    … Expand

As has been the case with the last two AC games, it's really nice to look at, and the developers do a nice job of trying to insert the fictional "assassin" in with actual historical characters and various deities/mythological creatures which makes the story interesting. Unfortunately, the side quests are grindy (though blessedly finite), so cleaning up to get the Platinum (even with YouTube University to help) is daunting (despite a significantly smaller map than Odyssey). Voice acting is uneven, but I entertained myself by pretending that the actors for Basim and female Eivor were having a contest to smoke the most cigarettes during production. The music was also lackluster save for Einar Selvik's in-battle vocal compositions (disappointing, because I liked Jesper Kyd and Sarah Schachner's previous AC contributions). Improvements over the last installment include getting rid of the infinitely generating side quests and mercenaries, the animal hunts are far less grindy (remember the Elephant battles in Origins? Sheesh), it is actually possible to assassinate brutes/more powerful enemies (thank you), but there is a timing mechanic that determines your success (fair enough). Step backs include long loading times (for either fast travel or respawning), the nonsensical stamina system (blocking tires you, but attacking gets you more stamina ??), the irritating fishing mode, and a thoroughly predictable final act, with the possible exception of how the past ties in with the modern day arc. Seriously, who didn't know who the head of the "Templars" in this game was by the halfway point? I was ambivalent toward the levelling system, but I will say that the "return fire" special ability is by far my favorite mechanic introduced into the series in a LONG time. The AI's ability to spot you on normal stealth difficulty (vs. Master Assassin, which you can select early on) is a little too "good." Not as bad as "Unity" which could spot you WHILE BLENDED FFS, but I can only imagine being frustrated had I gone the more difficult route. Valhalla is a good time until you complete the story. Then it just kind of...lingers.… 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.
