    Overall - 3/5
    The gameplay was enjoyable at first, but not deep or complex enough to hold up over the extraordinary length of the game. Combat was good, but became repetitive. Visual were stunning in my opinion.

    I really wanted to like this game because I love the entire historic setting of vikings and medieval England but this game is just such a chore.

    The combat is fine, it doesnt really feel challenging nor is there a lot of skill expression.

    The map is beautiful and exploration would be fun if you actually got any meaningful rewards from it but they made loot so rare that you almost never find a cool weapon or armor upgrade.

    Overall not a good game unfortunately and I feel like I wasted a lot of time with it.

    Also there were alot of bugs, one which forced me to restart.    … Expand

    This is the best Assassin's Creed I have played in my opinion. There has been a lot of common negative criticism I disagree with that I will address here:

    Not enough loot - I 100% disagree. There is plenty of axes, swords, shields, daggers, etc., and I think 5 or 6 separate types of armor to upgrade. It is not overwhelming, but still very customizable. Right now, I am dual wielding a spear and dagger, but you can dual wield two great swords, your more standard sword and shield, the flail is fun to play with, warhammers carry a different style, etc. Trust me, there is plenty of loot.

    Combat - The combat in Odyssey and Origins made you a fighting god right from the start. Valhalla makes you earn it. A lot of the negative reviews say the combat is slow and clunky. At first, it kind of is. But you know what, it makes you feel like a viking! Storming villages and swinging a sword wildly seems realistic to me. As you progress, the combat becomes much more in depth and fluid, but the game makes you earn it. Sorry, but you will not be a combat god from the start, which I think is a good thing.

    Lack of Stealth - I disagree. I've cleared out enemy encampments blowing my horn and having my whole crew rush in. I have also cleared out encampments without anyone noticing me. It takes patience, but definitely possible and anyone who disagrees probably isn't good enough at it.

    Bugs - I am on patch 1.0.2 and the bugs are not nearly as bad as described in the reviews. All my saves have been fine and the game has crashed once in almost 40 hours of gameplay. There are some minor visual bugs I've noticed, but they have not been common at all for me and really haven't taken anything from the game for me.

    All in all, this game is amazing. In both Origins and Odyssey, after about 20 hours, I felt like I was doing chores and got bored. I'm almost 40 hours in to this one and can't stop playing or thinking about it when I'm not playing. The map is much less congested, and the markers that are there lead you to meaningful, useful, and usually interesting things. The inventory and quest lists are no longer overwhelming and the way side quests are set-up make the story and play go way more smoothly.

    Story is surprisingly good, it almost sucks to bring it out like some BIG thing, but Odyssey's story was too "all over the place" and boring, at least to me. It had way too much pointless filler. Valhalla actually innovates a lot and feels more like Black Flag and Unity in 2020.

    AC Valhalla is amazing open world game, specially after today's 1.0.4 update and of the best games of 2020. Only reason ps4 version has low user score is because some angry asian made over 20 fake accounts and gave it o's. Looks at all other user scores for AC Valhalla (PC, PS5 and so on, everything is over 7.6). Youtube videos posting about Valhalla get every day 100 000s of views, this game sold over 2million copies and was biggest launch in Assassin's Creed history. You can make up your "classic ubisoft" lies all day long, but this game already won. Deal with it. Reality is that you are not actual Assassin's Creed fan, but you are trying to find ways to whine about it anyway to promote some trash games that you like. Weak attempt at that.    … Expand

Without a question it's one of the best in the series taking elements from Origins and Black Flag, while also adding something completely new. I personally found "Ghost of Tsushima" pretty boring compared to Valhalla, but these games shouldn't be compared anyway, because they are very different.

It has two maps, not one, that's first time they have done that. You can swim underwater just like in Odyssey and there' stuff to discover underwater, on land and underground.

These are likely more level headed people, so no wonder they don't come to sites like metacritic, they don't even care about places like that. But this site attracts losers who just wanna hate and whine. I Found this news-site from 2017 that was about "fake reviews on AC Origins". Then why has nobody removed all these fake zeros?? Or maybe they don't care anymore, because last of us 2 gets 100s of fake positive and negative reviews every single day. I can say one thing, i will support Ubisoft till the day i die, they make good video games and it's very clear that they get hate because they are popular. If haters would get their way and all these other companies would go away then gaming would be dead because we would get 1 game in 5 years. Because that's all they want.

    AC: Valhalla doesn't exactly re-invent the formula, but i think for now it's a good thing.
    They fixed what went wrong with Odyssey and brought back missing elements while making story, characters and world better. With next one they need to do some complete overhaul, but Valhalla is good beginning for next era Assassin's Creed games.

More of this and please keep improving Valhalla, thank you.

    Perfect fun game to play until Cyberpunk comes out, there's not much else to play anyway and this one actually makes me going back even after 20 hours. Graphics are very nice, but it's best to play this on PS4Pro.

    Combat is perfectly fine, in fact way better than Odyssey's combat. I feel like some people just watched some youtube channel whining about combat and now just act like it's fact. No it's not. And to say worst combat in series? That's complete nonsense! AC 1 till 3 combat was absolute trash. It got better with 4, but that was still a bit simple. Unity had very good combat.

    So basically here's the deal, i like this game, a lot. So when 2021 happens to be copy-paste of 2020, i will have something to play all year long, possibly Cyberpunk 2077 and Far Cry 6 too, if they happen to turn out good.

    Combat (to me) feels okay, i have read some youtube comments that "combat is so bad", i strongly disagree. I bet they watched some youtube who told that he didn't like combat and now some people just spread false information. It's not perfect, but far from bad. Would recommend.

    This idea of going back in time to different eras got me into this series in first place. Everything else comes second to me, i could endlessly free roam for hours and just check every corner, parkour on stuff. Amazing. But to everyone who wants bloody action, it's all there, always been in every AC.

    If someone actually thinks that AC Valhalla is not well made, that just shows absolute ignorance and lack of general knowledge about game making.

    I mean what can say is that i bought it day 1 and it was little rough, but playable for sure. Now it's in way better state and even tho it needs more patching, early game (and by that i mean at least first 50 hours) is all good. What needs more work is endgame, but overall it's very well made, maps are huge and there's so much to do and explore.

Odyssey problem wasn't big map, Odyssey problem was too much pointless content and grinding, that's all gone in Valhalla. What's left is interesting and meaninful content and no grinding. Valhalla has two big maps and England has many cities where parkour is possible, very similar to Unity. Overall very good game. Unity was nice, but Black Flag did huge map even before Unity.

    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.
