    Eivor steps into the shoes of Odin for a grand stomp around a gorgeously realized fantasy realm in what has become my favorite Assassin's Creed experience of all time. Great writing, gorgeous visuals, and a ridiculous amount of content make this DLC worthy of being a stand alone game. Beyond being highly recommended, Dawn of Ragnarok is an absolutely necessity for Assassin's Creed fans.

    Dawn of Ragnarok is the perfect expansion for what the latest trilogy in the Assassin's Creed franchise set out to tell. With a fun new world to explore, new skills and, most importantly, a very well written story that should please longtime fans of the series.

    The new ideas Dawn of Ragnarök plays around with are fun, but it can’t fully flourish under the weight of inconsistent writing and janky combat.

    Dawn of Ragnarok does enough to satisfy by the time that the credits roll, but if you're burnt out on Assassin's Creed Valhalla, there isn't much here that'll reignite your interest. The mythological angle is well played, the fantastical setting is cool, and Odin makes for an intriguing lead, but after a year of DLC and updates, Valhalla's gameplay loop is wearing a bit thin.

    The result is a rich and fun expansion, which will especially satisfy those who prefer the fantasy approach and the exquisitely action setting of the production.

    The first post-season pass DLC is a substantial slab of new plot, gear, and abilities but never anything more than that. If you loved the base game, this is a lot more of exactly the same.

    I have no doubt that Dawn of Ragnarok will be enjoyable for some. In truth, however, it only takes a hesitant half-step towards offering a full fantasy experience, and in not committing fully, it ends up being a shallow expansion that does little to justify its price point or its existence. I'm not sure who these Assassin's Creed fans are, the ones clamouring for a full-fledged fantasy RPG, with monsters and lighting boat cosmetics and new skins for their warbird, but clearly, Ubisoft is hoping to capture that market. If anything, Dawn of Ragnarok has made me realise that I'd much rather be fist-fighting the Pope, than taking down a fire demon with eyes made of lava.

People say they don't need fantasy, this is not AC, this should be included in the gamepass... I say this is an incredible expansion with enough content and new features to be sold separately. Kuddos for Dawn of Ragnarok! Expand

I bet Ubisoft haters are those same losers who think that Elden Ring is most innovative game of all time, 2013 graphics and 2016 combat, "innovative at it's finest". Ubisoft at least tries. Expand

    Great, fun game as expected, youtubers keep hating it, just like they did with Valhalla, but that's just how it is now. Every new Ubisoft gameGreat, fun game as expected, youtubers keep hating it, just like they did with Valhalla, but that's just how it is now. Every new Ubisoft game will be sht on by youtubers until 2030, because they just can't help themselves. They wont stop hating until Ubisoft goes back to AC 1 style, but thankfully that will never happen. If it was up to me, i think they should go back to something that would be combination of Black Flag story/combat and Unity parkour. But i take Valhalla and Dawn of Ragnarok any day over AC 1. You shouldn't care at all what some youtubers think, you should decide what you like. Valhalla was great and this is also solid, best out of all expansions imo. So my advice for AC fans would be - Ignore negative youtubers and enjoy great games, easy. Expand

    Just more of the same, the amount of gameplay is hardly worth the extra money. Storyline is poor and extra gear is not adding to the combat much.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game deserves a minus rating! 99% Magic and Fantasy (There's barely any mythical accuracy!) 1% Assassin's Creed related content (This is just because the game brings the AC name on the box). Hack and Slash the same villains with different skins, raid and loot same all again and again. A great game of RPG fantasy wanderers who like exploring the map here and there without purpose. Why they even pay the narrative team there in Ubi? ''Where is Odin's Child?'' I am sure than anyone can write the story. Expand
