    I thought I would love this but the early reviews of this game still apply years later. It's unplayable, boring, and lacks fun. Very slow starting and just slow pacing overall.

Very slow starting and just slow pacing overall. I really liked Odyssey for a good while thanks to the story but started getting bored with that one further in. This starts out as a snoozefest and then just keeps getting worse. The bugs are plentiful and you'd think years later these would be fixed but no.

    The story is so nothing. I didn't feel invested at all and it isn't engaging. It was very generic and written like a bunch of Americans read a couple of grade school books about vikings and watched too many Marvel movies. The phrases they use and the way they talk sound more like they pray to the Marvel Odin than the Norse Odin. You have all these one off interactions with people like you're supposed to know them and have a rapport but why do I the player care? I just met them and they're supposed to matter? This is just bad storytelling.

    Okay graphics, it's a step back. On PS5 you'd expect more but the snow effects are bad and it looks like I'm a rolling pin through a mountain of cake icing, the rigging and character models look outdated, the Odin object indication lacks definition and there are no settings to fix it. I hear things ping but even gold items barely show up on my OLED screen. The bird mechanic is half useless most of the time until you upgrade their functions.

    Gameplay is pretty awful. Parry just doesn't work right. The button layout is bad but customizing it is like a 20 minute task as you can't just remap a button you have to remap every function and they all seem to collide. I've gotten stuck in a few spots, enemies see me in hiding at times, view distance for enemy archers is insane far and their accuracy is ridiculous. Staggering enemies seems broken and a lot of the battles you just dodge a lot. A lot of missions require you head on fight and with how broken fighting is I feel like I'm playing a bad GoW war clone.

    The sailing is so bad. It's unrealistic but also clunky. I like the auto sail mechanics but sailing seems like an afterthought where they just shoved in black flag mechanics on a tiny boat.

    Navigating and interactions are probably the worst part. Climbing is essential to AC and when it's bad it breaks the game. Want to climb a roof? Well scramble around until you see a prompt come up that says you can climb here then do it because if you guess you're always wrong and you just come out of hiding and get spotted. Go into a window? Better make sure you're at the right angle in the right spot or you just stand there. Climb down a cliff? Crouch then hold crouch otherwise you just stand there. Half the time you're better off just jumping and taking the damage.

    Using a horse is also important. Too bad most of the time when you call it the horse rushes right past you and keeps running. You never even get the chance to get on it like the horse is mocking you. If you're not near enough to a road auto nav doesn't work either you just get a message that says "cannot auto navigate".

    Oh and I saved the worst for last. The sound mixing and music. For the most part either the music in this game doesn't exist or it's mixed terribly. At the very beginning of the game you're at a party with a guy playing music yet you hear no music, just people. Why? The audio either sounds muffled or distorted and I have a nice home theater. The worst is the horrid tin high pitched triangle sound that marks the start of world music and lasts far too long while also being way too high frequency. If you have tinnitus it will trigger it. Then any time you open menus you might get the title song and it goes on for a while. You hear that song when you sync, when you do certain things, at certain mission points, way way too much and what should be a beautiful title theme is an annoying everything theme. In other games it was a minor song that lasted as long as the interaction but this is very loud, very abrupt, the loudest thing in the game by far, and it plays for a few minutes after the event stopped.

    It also sounds like a lot of the audio samples were done in a sound booth or bathroom. Real world sounds you expect in most games just aren't there.

    This was obviously a rushed game, it's one of their worst. I didn't even get half way I hated playing it.    … Expand

    Okay... Let me explain why i gave this a four even though i wanted it to be the next big hit after Assassin's Creed Odyssey. - This score is meant to be "they tried very hard but still failed"

    Now the explanation: The "story" feels blant. None of the characters made me feel something. I simply didn't care what these peoples problems are. AND its super repetetive (at least it feels like    Okay... Let me explain why i gave this a four even though i wanted it to be the next big hit after Assassin's Creed Odyssey. - This score is meant to be "they tried very hard but still failed"

    Now the explanation:
    The "story" feels blant. None of the characters made me feel something. I simply didn't care what these peoples problems are. AND its super repetetive (at least it feels like it to me - can't speak for all people).

    The so called "gameplay" - OKAY... now... where to begin. Lets begin with exploration. I LOVE exploration games but climbing a humongous mountain to reach something AND NOT EVEN GET REWARDED other than a **** synchronization point and an overview over some plains you just travelled in is not something i was looking forward to. It feels forced and blant and frankly boring. Again like the characters.

    The raiding mechanic is fine i guess and fits the theme.

    The base-building is also "somewhat important" but not so much that i would say you need to build anything except the Brotherhood building and maybe the smithy. Feels bare boned and not really thought through.

    Combat. - they sell diverse combat but it really is combat that a toddler could do. The animations are so telling, the build-up to an attack so obvious that there really is only a chellenge if you are surrounded. And even that is not much of a problem when you can dodge really. They stripped everything that made the combat of Odyssey/Origins and the other more combat focussed games they did in the series great and are now selling it in a worse state than ever back to us. The "skilltree" is even worse. This huge tree is only suggesting depth. Practically no Min-Maxing possible without getting useless junk in the build you want to play. Same with loot. The things that i LOVED about Odyssey was that it was leaning in further in the RPG direction than Origins and it was fantastic. In Valhalla they are in a limbo state between "we want to be a RPG but dont try very hard to be one" and "lets **** mess around with this until nothing good is left". I understand why people disliked Odyssey but i think it did alright. It found the means to connect Assassin's Creed to the RPG Genre and it was fun to play. Part of which is because of the skill tree and diverse loot you could find in the world. Which is completely lacking here.

    Like i teased already. The loot and item acquisition. Yeah... uh... practically all the items you can find are scattered around in the world in chests. There is a finite number of them. Not like an RPG where you can loot everything, not like an action game where you find basically no items at all. Like i said. I think they couldn't decide in which direction to go and made a mess of it on the way.

    If they make an Assassin's Creed game they should either:
    a) incorporate Assassin's Creed GAMEPLAY (stealth, information gathering, assassinations, espionage, templars, etc) or
    b) stay on route with the RPG they already made. Where the main characters ARE (technically or not) part of the order and where players can CHOOSE hwo they want to play. But please give people AT LEAST the chance to play stealthy if they want.
    AND FFS GIVE ME MY HOODS BACK AND LET ME HAVE IT IN COMBAT TOO.

    TL:DR
    They tried to make an Assassin's Creed game with a Viking setting and failed miserably. They instead build a game with an identity crises. It doesn't want to be a RPG or full action game. It feels like a Frankenstein version of Odyssey, suggested depth, trying hard to be a good game sprinkled with a quickly assembled story and it is blant and not fun to play. This Game does not want to be an Assassin's Creed game. And, if i am honest with you... It shouldn't be called Assassin's Creed in the first place. People say Odyssey was an abomination... than this piled higher on the **** heap than that (even tho i liked Odyssey).

    Sincerely A huge fan of the series.    … Expand

    Full of meaningless content. Extremely Grindy. Unnecessarily expansive. Pointless decision making. Awful story arcs and side missions. Despite some good mechanics, this is the most boring game and story in the series. Avoid. I have played every main game since AC2, this falls short of previous titles by some margin.

Music is sometimes good but most of the time is just ambient, boring and lacking energy. Characters are either over the top or just badly written (except maybe for Basim and Sigurd and very few other exceptions). Dialogue is very mediocre. Combat is bad at first, then it gets better only to then get worse. Ubisoft makes an extremely violent game where you can kill your enemies in a 1000 brutal ways but everything else such as historical realities and the fact that Vike-boys were brutal slavetraders, rapists, pillagers and murderers gets sugar coated with Raven Clan being the good guys and other compromises because Ubisoft has no balls to even GRAZE the area of controversy. I mean really lol. Raven Clan is basicaly a hippie commune where people live in harmony with the nature, where people of all ethnicities, religions and cultures are welcome, almost everyone is bisexual (XD) and people get high with shrooms to enter other dimensions (XDD). It is subjective but IMO games that aren't even about vikings get the whole "vikingness" better like Witcher 3 with Skellige or even Skyrim. The open world at first looks beautiful and exciting but ends up being really empty and devoid of character. It's almost tragic how shallow it is. You go up the cathedral and gaze upon the foggy hills of England and marvel at it's vastness and beauty. Then you jump down and realise that there isn't anyhting interesting. No funny or immersive NPC dialogue to overhear, no random events taking place where you can interfere and get in trouble, almost zero historical or geographical lore about incredible places you visit. Music is also virtualy always the same for every location. For example: In Oxenforda (figure out which city it is) the only thing that ads any characteristic stuff to the place is some funny letter about how Oxenforda will never be famous for anything but it's fish (very funny). Then there are side quests. Again it's subjective but IMO side quests are bad because almost every single one of them revolves around some freak having a ridiculous problem. They are memorable and original - true but, again IMO, are another nail to the coffin of the vibe of the game as they are so over the top you can't take vast majority of them seriously. And now worst of all- sound quality. All of the in-game audio sounds like total SH*TE. As if you put a layer of cloth between your ear and the headphone which makes it so much harder to immerse yourself in the world you are in.

    I'm being harsh because the game tries to be what the Witcher 3 and RDR2 was and it fails miserably with it's bad to average design decisions. I won't deny- some of the aspects of the game are good. Combat can be epic at times but it gets repetitive and audio-design diminishes it by a lot, side activities can be fun but they feel like an afterthought, story is interesting but... SEE THAT? "BUTS" EVERYWHERE. There is not a single thing besides Orlog in this game that isn't spoiled in some way by a bad design decisions and the fact that Ubisoft team lacks any talent. And I didn't even mention the bugs that ruin it further (I could seriously talk for hours abut how lacking ACV is). It's not even a bad game with a good one hidden inside like Cyberpunk it's far worse than that: it's an average game trying to be a great game while being a very bad game inside. I would've given it 6/10 but the Audio quality+infuriating bugs+MICROTRANSACTIONS IN A GOD DAMN SINGLEPLAYER GAME FOR 60€ make it a 4/10 AT MOST. I'd rather play Skyrim for a 1000th time than Assasin's Creed Valhalla for the first time.    … Expand

    After completing the previous AC entry - Odyssey, I was hoping Ubisoft would trim off a lot of the filler content and focus in on what makes an AC game worth playing.

Valhalla's map may be slightly smaller than Odyssey's, but Ubisoft still seem intent on stretching their content as thin as it will go. Valhalla doesn't veer from Ubi's open world formula, which involves littering the map with busywork. At least Odyssey's loot was interesting - in Valhalla it's mostly reduced to a ingots, 'supplies' and 'raw materials' - hardly an exciting reward for completing a raid.

    Valhalla structures its story into chapters set in various English counties. For me this brings with it an issue with the characters - not only is the main character pretty dull, but the supporting characters are never around long enough to be fleshed out to the point of being interesting or likeable. The story is stretched out over so many hours that it lacks any kind of momentum, but it boils down to this - the good guy Vikings want to take over England because we're told the Saxons are bad. This includes any settlement you can raid, which involves slaughtering hapless guards minding their own business. But it's worth it to collect yet another iron ingot...

    The game beings to take an interesting turn by transporting you to the realm of Asgard, although this quickly becomes just another area crammed with icons and pointless collectibles.

    The gameplay follows Odyssey with light and heavy attacks, God of War-style abilities with cool-downs mapped to face buttons, and the use of Witcher senses to investigate crime scenes and follow trails etc. Some set pieces and large scale battles can be enjoyable, but really there's no point in taking on the endlessly spawning enemies, and instead you're better off just running to the next objective.

    I never thought this would be the case, but I think I enjoyed Odyssey more, as at least it had stunning locations, Greek myths and interesting loot. Valhalla is the last AC I'll buy.    … Expand

The combat lacks any impact, even when playing on a higher difficulty. Eivor is somewhat compelling as a protagonist but in the end they feel very bland and lacking in personality. This point is particularly notable as you spend an incredibly bloated 100 hours with them. Within 100 hours, eivor has less personality than Bayek did in the first section of his game. The bird is pretty cool though I guess. I’m a pretty big AC fan usually, as I really love the historical setting (despite its inaccuracies), but this was well and truly a let down. I hope Ubisoft learn from their mistakes and improve upon the new AC formula. Also the micro-transactions are outrageous, selling reskins of gear that was in odyssey and origins, the price of these reskins? Around $15. If you have fun with this game, that’s great, but as a huge rpg fan I cannot recommend this bloated mess of a game. 4/10, I regret purchasing the game and wish I didn’t complete it.… Expand

Play the first six or so games and they feel like AC games but this is so far from it.

    I don't know what this game is but it isn't an AC game. Finish the series and call this the Battle Through Time series or something cause slapping on the AC badge on this isn't fooling me.

    But if I'm to judge this on its own it looks fantastic and the story isn't half bad. The combat isn't great and the leveling up systems are terrible. Certain areas require you to be at a power of 90 when you could only be at a power of maybe 25 if you were only doing story missions. The game requires you to go around doing random repetitive tasks to move through the game. That's crap.

    This game requires you to loose your mind doing repetitive crap or for you to be crazy enough to pay for an XP boost on top of your 80 euro game. Seriously!

    Boring is the first word that comes to mind, there’s no reason a game should be this long and be this boring! Repetitive as hell, and the characters other than the ACTUAL assassins are forgettable. Overall wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy doing the same thing over and over again with a boring story thats only good at the end.

    Bleh. Nothing in this game feels good to do, it feels lazy and unfun.

    Valhalla is an unpolished, messy of an AC.
    The sound, still after months after release's still awful. The combat and stealth are the worse we've had on an AC game. The story is god awful, along with the crappy voice acting. It's unfortunately really bad. I love AC series, loved Odyssey, but this one is just trash.
    Don't buy this game, it's not worth. Ubisoft standards are lowering more and more.

    - Is this really an Assassin's Creed game? or is it just a brute's story of raiding villages with his crew?
    - The gameplay is clunky and buggy, and utterly annoying. The camera work is horrible; the targeting (R3) has an awful cursor almost invisible in the mid of the battle, etc...

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla feels like the climax of all the shortcomings Ubisoft games have seen over the years. I seriously wonder if Ubisoft is years behind in the feedback they get on their games.

I seriously wonder if Ubisoft is years behind in the feedback they get on their games.

    Positive points such as the beautiful graphics on the PS5 or the art design unfortunately do not go up against my negative experiences.

    A world that even feels bigger than it’s predecessors bloated with lots of filler content (despite the attempt to replace icons for colored dots), an enviroment (of England) that feels bland except for a number of cities, akward cutscenes because the characters are looking like dolls and pause way too long between sentences, a story that just doesn't seem to get going before the 30 hour mark and a ridiculous skill tree that is so detailed that you don’t feel your progression in game. As much as I wanted to meet with my excitement, this game is too far removed from the Assassin's Creed experience that I enjoy which resulted in a game that felt like one big chore.

    Pros:
    - Graphics
    - Art Design
    - Atmosphere of the cities

    Cons:
    - Bugs
    - Worst audio in a game I have ever experienced

The game is so stretched out with pointless traveling back and forth for miles just to have a useless dialogue with someone that starts the next quest. This is not what the fans of the series meant when they said that they wanted some change. We wanted improvements on the mechanics that the previous AC games had. You know the mechanics that made people fall in love with the AC series in the first place? not a hack and slash "RPG wannabe" game where enemies barely react to your attacks. We don’t want a bad Witcher 3 clone every year set in another part of the world...there are literally 2 Assassin’s in this “Assassin’s Creed” game, that’s 2 more than there were in Odyssey but even that aspect of the game is just pointless because all they do is act like a deposit box for a collectible. Don't waste your money! The gear that you unlock throughout the game looks okay but wait until you see what they have for sale in their store page, store gear looks miles better when compared to what you unlock by just playing the game. They clearly put more effort into the store gear than they do on unlockables. The level of greediness, to sell a game for $60-$70 and still manipulate people into buying stuff from your store by putting the best looking gear in there. They built up the AC series just to milk the player-base but hey we saw what happened to the recent COD and BF 2042 games. At this rate, Assassins Creeds fall is inevitable and I can't wait to be there when the sales drop and players decide that they had enough of your bs schemes.

    Very disappointed. Graphics are phenomenal, the story is OK too, but the steering is SO BAD - especially when you have just played Ghost of Tsushima - where it feels a lot more dynamic. In AC Valhalla, it is too stiff and feels like a classic game: When you dodge an attack e.g., the character throws himself 4 metres to the side.

    Even Odyssey was miles better to play.

    Bloated, boring and endless, when will Ubisoft learn that bigger is not better? It’s baffling they made a much better entry with Odyssey on so many levels then made the decision to cut systems that actually worked well like factions and naval combat.

    Ubisoft already did Valhalla but better in Odyssey. If you really want to to play these new iterations of AC games that are now action RPGs,    Bloated, boring and endless, when will Ubisoft learn that bigger is not better? It’s baffling they made a much better entry with Odyssey on so many levels then made the decision to cut systems that actually worked well like factions and naval combat.

    Ubisoft already did Valhalla but better in Odyssey. If you really want to to play these new iterations of AC games that are now action RPGs, don’t waste your time with Valhalla. Even if you make it through the whole game which you probably won’t due to its bloat and monotonous and tedious game design, you’re rewarded with a one and a half hour cutscene that wraps up the plot (which I have to point out has nothing to do with what you spend most of the game doing).

    I’m normally a very generous gamer, I try to see the game for its intentions first and execution second, in Valhalla I realized at about the halfway point their intention was: let’s make a game that’s bigger than Odyssey but with Vikings. Then they stripped good mechanics away for no reason I can deduce, then they managed to churn out a mind numbingly boring story with what might be one of the laziest and insulting payoffs for the player I’ve ever experienced. Don’t even get me started on the side quests.

    To top all of this off, my biggest critique and ultimately what turned this game from passable to downright failure for me, was the length of the game. The amount of filler and bloat injected into this game is almost insulting. Like yes, we’re in the age of peak capitalism and yes we’re all consumers that want to, well… consume. But Valhalla turns media content consumption into a giant pile of flavorless slop, poured into a trough for us to mind numbingly eat like livestock.

    I felt almost disrespected playing this game. Is this really what you see gamers as Ubisoft? Too stupid to figure out where to go so we’re inundated with a record number of map markers, and too lazy for a challenge so even at harder difficulty and with more challenging level scaling, so everything is way to easy and once again, something becoming a common theme in my play through: boring.

    I don’t know how Ubisoft managed to make the Viking conquest of England set in the AC universe boring, but once again Ubisoft never fails to move the bar in the wrong direction and surprise us in all the wrong ways.    … Expand

Same mistake on Odyssey same on Valhalla. The only good thing here are the graphics. The title is big hit only because of the first 3 ac games and because of that the people love the series even if it fails. After that the series starting to take the downfall. From 1 to 10, i give VO and Graphics a 10, Music/Sound an 8 (encounter a glitch) and Open World/Story a BIG ZER0. Why zero? Because they must stop those big maps and if people read some history vikings they will read that vikings never have/had that rage thing today people always mention. Go read Battle of Stamford Bridge to see how they lose from Anglo-Saxons twice that day. Because one strong man hold them in a tiny bridge they think every viking have that rage. In every country and history in the world there is a man with proud and strong will and body. Maybe they must include a DLC in the future, how vikings raid europe and try to conquer Balkans and LOSE to Balkan countries epicly. They take the england story and turn it into viking immigrant story. There is a Scandinavian strong history and culture, and they could create something beautiful and nice from there. Not a god damn immigration story. Big fault.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an OK rpg about vikings it is not an assassins creed game in fact the last game as well was not about assassins creed ubisoft has rewritten their lore behind their games and I don't like it


    In valhalla as havi we are to believe that they are isu(and that eivor is a sage another reincarnation) (they have many different sages now) they did this in the past with minerva and juno well that was OK but they killed off juno in the comics and we never hear so much as a word about that in the games because ubisoft doesn't want to continue that saga do they
    This isn't an assassins creed game and they shouldn't keep pretending I would pay double for another game like what we got from ezio and altiar the story is terrible it was OK for the first 15 hours or so and then it went stale I was 93 hours in when I realised that this game would not get any better it was a broken mess filled with bugs plot holes and ivar being a tool there were some moments when the game shone like its older versions and I felt the story could go somewhere but they were short lived and forgotten by the ever growing ass faced characters of dag and siggurd being the literal worst and me wanting to uninstall the game and make room for cyberpunk which nomatter how broken had a brilliant story and interesting characters

    The places in the game were many and similar and I found myself unable to differentiate any of the towns and villages the side quests were mostly the same and largely the same save someone or collect something or fall for an obvious trap or lie because heaven forbid eivor the reincarnation of the god of wisdom is interesting

    In the end I googled the endings was disappointed by all outcomes and u installed the game Maybe its my fault for holding the previous games in such high regard but in ubisofts attempt of diversifying their creation they lost sight of the aspects we loved about the franchise each game was building towards something even after Desmond death syndicate gave us insight towards what juno was doing and what assassins in the present were up to and the memories in the past all lead up to the Poe that abstergo was still locating the assassins were an organisation not one man with a hidden blade who can either sneak or fight you could have your initiates rain arrows or cause a distraction while you would slip by and kill your target in the old games some missions required stealth at least unti a certain point and I liked that the protagonist's had a perpous and a personal reason to fight
    Some people may have liked this game some people may have loved this game I almost loved this game in the early hours and I am glad I didn't because after that time frame the game became a repetitive pile of manure with the only loveable thing being a dog and a happy reminder of assassins creed 3 that lasted less than an hour    … Expand

The story is so bad that I routinely would drop the game just to go back to old AC games to see if I was dreaming about the great characters and story (Spoiler Alert: I was not). Parkour is easily the worst it's ever been, in Unity we had the most stylish and cool parkour we've seen in the AC franchise. Syndicate was a downgrade, but it was passable. Origins and Odyssey had bad parkour, some of the worst in the entire franchise, and Valhalla does not improve on their already low starting point in origins in the parkour standard. Even the combat is lackluster, in origins you had great combat since the environment and presentation was so good, along with the bar system. Odyssey had even better combat as it introduced these crazy abilities which spiced things up. Valhalla adds a stamina bar, and that's it. Every single encounter can be cheesed from a range with the exception of 4 off the top of my head. The game goes on for way too long. I cannot recommend this game to anybody.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER!!! Em primeiro lugar devo dizer que o game não passa a sensação de evolução e upgrade dos equipamentos, em segundo lugar o som é péssimo pois gera um eco absurdo toda vez que vc chega em um local habitado ou um vilarejo, por outro lado os bosques na maioria das vezes possuem um som sepulcral não há canto dos pássaros ou sequer barulhos da vegetação em terceiro lugar a saturação de itens para explorar, a Ubisoft ainda não aprendeu a fazer um balanço em seus jogos, tudo é em excesso, os mistérios, os colecionáveis, chega um momento em que vc cai no tédio, porém no meu caso gosto de deixar o mapa limpo devido a uma espécie de TOC, entretanto a saturação me desanimou, em quarto lugar o desfecho da narrativa é um fiasco total, os bugs me atrapalharam para adquirir os troféus, não há uma história imersiva o que há, são conquistas indeterminadas de territórios e em muitos casos a cinemática é a mesma para iniciar um ataque final a fortaleza inimiga, não há sequer 'assassinos' no game, pois os que aparecem são na verdade encarnação do deus Loki (Basim) e um aprendiz pé de break (Haytham) que logo no inicio do game ja toma um knockout cabendo a vc guerreiro viking salva o mesmo. Demorou para eu entender que o protagonista é uma espécie de encarnação de Odin e o suposto assassino tbm é encarnação de Loki. Como fã de AC devo dizer que este game é o pior da saga em minha opinião. Depois de 136 hrs de game não consegui platina-lo devido a bugs, ( a feira gigante que tem que me obrigar a me batizar no mistério próximo a Winchester simplesmente não lutou comigo, será que ela descobriu que sou agnóstico?) não houver uma conclusão da história, muito rasa ao meu ver.

First of all I must say that the game doesn't have the feeling of evolution and upgrade of equipment, secondly the sound is terrible because it generates an absurd echo every time you arrive in an inhabited place or a village, on the other hand the woods in the most of the time they have a sepulchral sound there is no birdsong or even vegetation noises thirdly the saturation of items to explore, Ubisoft has not yet learned to take stock in its games, everything is in excess, the mysteries, the collectibles , there comes a time when you fell into boredom, but in my case I like to leave the map clean due to a kind of OCD, however the saturation discouraged me, fourthly the outcome of the narrative is a total fiasco, the bugs hindered me to acquire the trophies, there is no immersive story, there are undetermined conquests of territories and in many cases the cinematics is the same to start a final attack on the enemy fortress, there aren't even 'killers' in the game, because the q that appear are actually the incarnation of the god Loki (Basim) and an apprentice break foot (Haytham) who at the beginning of the game already takes a knockout and it's up to you viking warrior to save the same. It took me a while to understand that the protagonist is a kind of Odin incarnation and the alleged killer is also Loki's incarnation. As an AC fan I must say that this game is the worst in the saga in my opinion. After 136 hrs of game I couldn't platinum it due to bugs, (the giant fair that has to force me to baptize myself in the mystery near Winchester just didn't fight me, did it find out I'm agnostic?) there is no conclusion of the story, very shallow in my view.

The Raids... Raids are a train wreck, you run around spamming R1 next to every enemy around, there's not much threat really, well besides the broken fire effect. All around the enemy villages there are these stupid vases containing, i have no idea, some kind of explosive that can be triggered by hitting it with an axe. Once it explodes it takes half of your HP, and then puts a fire effect on you, the fire effect is just straight up terrible, it kills you in about 2 seconds and there is nothing you can do about it, you have to use your rations to survive it. The problem is, that the whole enemy village is burning, so once you use up your rations, you'll probably die by the next stupid explosive vase, or by burning to death trying to climb a building, you know, like Assassin's should. But of course, these aren't Assassin's Creed games anymore, Ubi just uses the name to get more more sales, the games itself have absolutely no connection to the story of Assassin's, besides Eivor having a 'hidden' blade of course, which i have no idea why would Assassin's give the blade to some random viking.

    A game so bloated, so repetitive, so devoid of any genuine inspiration that it relies on an endless drip-feed of upgrades, buffs, cosmetics, etc. to keep the player engaged. A broken lighting system, innumerable bugs, and gross historical inaccuracies top off a thoroughly flawed experience. Do not be fooled by the slick marketing for this game.

    There are two competing experiences here: that as as Assassin, and that as a Viking, that either on its own feels like it might have been a triumph and better than this good but not great Assass-king hybrid we have.

    Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla effortlessly plants its banner as the best open world RPG available for the new consoles. This Viking epic flexes its gore-soaked, tattooed muscles when it comes to world-building, and medieval England wows with its enchanting untamed vistas. It’s also portioned out at a steady pace and, if not for the repetitive, limited combat, Valhalla could have ranked even higher among our favourite games in the series.

    Is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla the best entry in the series yet? Some would be tempted to say so. While the map size might overwhelm some players, it remains an easy game to mainline with the right navigation mode turned on. In fact, the quick load times help to make this an even easier task than in previous generations. This is an iteration of Assassin’s Creed that has a bit of everything from the previous games, as refined as we have seen to date.
