    The Siege of Paris delivers an adventure that I simply could not put down, keeping me riveted to the final battle and beyond, and I would return to this world in an absolute heartbeat. A villain that is nothing like you expect and a rich cast of characters keep you invested the whole way through, and while the game's new mechanics didn't really floor me the way that I'd hoped, they do enough to bolster an engrossing tale of intrigue, loss, war, and forgiveness that I would recommend to anyone who adores this franchise.

    The bohemian Assassin's Creed Unity gives way to the rats and the rottenness of this Siege of Paris. A very well-managed expansion in which we again have to conquer a territory, but adds differential elements, such as a greater importance of stealth and new mechanics to distinguish it from what we have seen so far.

    In many ways, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris feels like the Assassin’s Creed of old. A smaller affair with a story that actually feels like it has stakes, its characters are interesting and a little more fleshed out in some cases, making the twists it sends your way more impactful. Throw in the engaging assassination missions, and you have a brilliant piece of DLC that’s not to be missed. If you own a copy of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you owe it to yourself to play The Siege of Paris.

    Siege of Paris is an overall better package compared to Wrath of Druids, but it's not flawless. It's much closer to the original game in terms of structure, and the level design takes the players back to the classic Assassin's Creed games, although the choices the player makes throughout the gameplay seem entirely pointless eventually.

    The Siege of Paris is a step down from Assassin's Creed Valhalla's first batch of DLC, offering roughly only half of the content.

    Beyond that, what we have is more Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. And sure, I like Valhalla, but I was basically satiated on it a while ago and the Siege of Paris has not really changed my mind on that. Momentary fun cutting through archers doesn’t really save an experience that feels a bit lacklustre, and doesn’t quite live up to the advanced hype. Lovers of the core game will find more of what they enjoy here, but those who are less invested can be safe in skipping this one.

    Very solid DLC, quality stuff as expected from Ubisoft! I wish they would give Arno's outfit, then it would be perfect.

    Very decent expansion, Paris looks cool and quests are better than in last dlc. I honestly don't care if anyone hates it, i personally like it.

    Much more polished DLC than the previous one. I like the return to the area of France. The campaign is also handled much better, includingMuch more polished DLC than the previous one. I like the return to the area of France. The campaign is also handled much better, including better written characters.

    The system of assassinating major enemies has a touch of the old days of the Assassins creed series of games. You can choose how you want to kill the target.

    Overall the missions in the urban areas are well done, including the siege of Paris mission. That one is truly excellent.

    However, there are many things that could have been done better. The rebel missions are a completely unnecessary feature. If you don't complete the game 100% like I did, you can more or less bypass it and nothing will happen.

    In conclusion, I rate this DLC 8/10.    … Expand

    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Siege Of Paris is a mediocre expansion that taints the Assassin’s Creed series even more!

    The gameplay is great as    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Siege Of Paris is a mediocre expansion that taints the Assassin’s Creed series even more!

    The gameplay is great as always but the lacklustre story which has nothing to do with Assassin’s just drags it weight around boringly. The good that can be said is the new Assassin opportunities that makes you want to try different things. Unfortunately it isn’t anything new.

    Hopefully Ubisoft can pick themselves up and realise how the community is reacting to their mediocre releases!    … Expand
