    Very good game, finally people found out that Cyberpunk 2077 is buggier than this game ever was. Who could have known? Before that everyone acted like "Cyberpunk 2077" will be perfect and Valhalla having few bugs is end of the world. Who's laughing now?

    Amazing game that has Four huge maps (Norway, England (biggest of them all), North-America and "Dream World". They will also add Ireland later. Really good game, specially compared to other trash that has come out in 2020.

    Big beautiful open world, interesting storyline. Everything is high quality as usual in this series. Over 100 hours of history.

    Wieder ein Assassins Creed nach meinem Geschmack. Teilweise schon in die Länge gezogen, aber ein Assassins Creed unter 100 Stunden ist kein richtiges Assassins Creed

    Spiele das Spiel seit 2 Monaten und bin überrascht.
    + Grafik top, FPs Leistung konstant 60, keine Laggs, Combat System vielfältig, Stealth Attacken inklusive, vielfältige Quests

    +- ab und zu Bugs/Glitches, die aber nicht so gravierend sind

    - das Movementsystem ist echt träge, fühlt sich langsam an

    Kann es jedem empfehlen dennoch !

    Some of these user reviews who give 0/10 on this site are absolutely pathetic...

    uh-oh, "where are cities, i hate forests blah blah blah". Did you even play previous games? Assassin's Creed 4 had huge map, with lots of locations. Origins was mostly just desert. Odyssey has zero parkour (Valhalla has way more, in comparison at least). Over half of AC 3 map was just forests.

Odyssey has zero parkour (Valhalla has way more, in comparison at least). Over half of AC 3 map was just forests. There have been so many different kind of locations in AC series over past 10 years, yet some people are acting like Valhalla is first Assassin's Creed ever to have huge map, or have forest areas or whatever else these haters will find issue with.

    Truth is Valhalla does parkour better than both Odyssey and Origins. Has better combination of huge forests and Cities, than AC 3. New York was absolutely pathetic in AC 3, in Valhalla you can climb and parkour way more in London + forest areas/mountains are so much better and have more variation than AC 3. Valhalla does so many similar things, that previous games have done and many of them better than last few games, yet somehow now this series is dying? Get out of here with that nonsense. I shouldn't even mention that it's selling better than Origins or Odyssey, but i will, will mention that just to make these haters even angrier.

    Either way, from now on I REFUSE to consider these Valhalla haters as an actual Assassin's Creed fans, they simply aren't. So basically whenever i meet someone who claims to like AC series, my first question will always be - DO YOU LIKE VALHALLA and if the answer is NO, then i will just walk away. I refuse to interact with these losers for rest of my life. I'm just done!

    These haters seem to be combination of people who actually never even cared for this series and those who only care about AC 1. Either way Black Flag is great, Unity is great, Syndicate is great, Origins is great and Valhalla is great. I don't even care, if Odyssey exists, it's just meaningless grind fest and AC 3 is just awful.    … Expand

I've spent over 100 hours playing the main quest, DLC, and side quests for this game. It's a step in the right direction. I really enjoy the new power system and the RPG element to the game. The auto-assigned system for the power works great. The combat feels great while using it. The camera doing combat is good if you chose to take off auto-aim. The auto-aim does work but it's only good for finding enemies quickly. I highly suggest not using it while fighting. The main story for this game is very simple but it feels like a lot of drama which keeps the game very entertaining. There is basically family drama within' each city we help. I love the family drama and betrayal aspect of the stories within' each city. It's nice. The graphics for this game is nice on both modes. The framerate mode does have less fog and the snow looks much better when it's falling on quality mode. Both modes are worth spending hours on. This game isn't perfect but I think it's easy to spend a lot of hours playing.… Expand

    A must play game!

    The graphics are stunning-at times, I found myself taking in the sights and using the photo tool to capture the open world. There are ALOT of hours to be spent here-in completing the main story, side quests, and raids, I spent over 60+ hours. There is still plenty more to do in finding treasures, interacting with NPCs, and developing new skills, weapons, and equipment.    A must play game!

    Although, the world is immersive, it does come with plenty of bugs that can derail the experience at times. These bugs ranged from sound issues to not allowing the story to progress, requiring going back to the title screen and reloading the game. Ubisoft has provided updates since the initial release, so hopefully these issues will be resolved.    … Expand

    Instead of endless whining, people should either enjoy video games or find new hobby. Giving low user score to games you have never played is pretty sad hobby. Great game btw.

    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.

    Seems to be one of those games i will never stop playing, just like i still play gta 5 single-player from time to time or AC Black Flag. AC Valhalla is very likely new addition to these games that i never stop playing. It has so much content, most of it is interesting, it's fun, combat is sick, i can tell they really worked on this one. Good job Ubisoft and thank you for not disappointing.

    THIS is how you do it Ubisoft, FINALLY! Not some endless xp **** and boring missions. Valhalla brings back greatness to AC series!

    Power level 100 right now and i can't stop playing, it's way too addictive. Haven't felt like that in very long time, seriously. Ubisoft is complete mystery to me, they can make absolute trash in 2019 and then one of their best games ever in 2020. Hopefully Far Cry 6 will be good as well, looking forward to that.

    Extremely hyped for Cyberpunk 2077, but until December 10th i'm gonna play AC Valhalla, after 30 hours i can say it's million times better than Odyssey and as AC Fan since 2013 i appreciate older elements, like more parkour/climbing, hidden blade, Hood and all that good stuff. Maybe not for everyone, but if you wanna visit 800s Norway, England and North American then you wont find betterExtremely hyped for Cyberpunk 2077, but until December 10th i'm gonna play AC Valhalla, after 30 hours i can say it's million times better than Odyssey and as AC Fan since 2013 i appreciate older elements, like more parkour/climbing, hidden blade, Hood and all that good stuff.

    Very good on PS5, performance mode really helps. I wanna see how other future games solve this. I bet this quality OR performance mode will become standard for new consoles.

    After playing it nearly 60 hours i can say that it's very nice game. Like seriously. Whoever is giving it low scores is just afraid that "Cyberhype 2077" gets less attention. I personally like both games, but i just hate when something is extremely overhyped.

    I'm so happy that Assassin's Creed Valhalla turned out to be better game than "CyberDelay 2077". One of the actual real ones, Youtuber "Michael Does Life" said it how it really is. Cyberpunk 2077 as of right now is buggier than Fallout 76 at launch (i'm talking about Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 Version, i don't care about PC version).

    At least this game works perfectly unlike this Cybertrash 2077 that was promoted as next generation of open world games. AC Valhalla is very good game and using any booster is absolutely optional. You get xp everywhere, there absolutely no need to use them.

    Fun game but very very long. Gets very tiring and you just need to stop playing it at some point. Overall it's enjoyable but it will be my last assassin's Creed game.

    Juegazo!!! Las últimas 2 entregas de la franquicia han sido espectaculares. Me encantó la jugabilidad y las mejoras que implementaron respeto a Odissey. Solamente cambiaría el final de la historia porque no cuadra del todo pero eso no quita que sea muy bien juego.

    While some youtubers will probably whine and complain until the end of times, how bad and boring Valhalla is, seems like actual fans just ignore these people and it's very clear that these youtubers never really gave a f..ck about this series anyway.

They would NEVER doWhile some youtubers will probably whine and complain until the end of times, how bad and boring Valhalla is, seems like actual fans just ignore these people and it's very clear that these youtubers never really gave a f..ck about this series anyway. Like what did some of these people expect from Valhalla? To go back to Assassin's Creed Revelations? Are you kidding me? They would NEVER do that. Never. Most people (all the gamers who never cared about Ezio) started to care about AC when 4th one came out. That huge map, pirate theme and 1715 era was actually interesting. I love how none of these Valhalla haters never mention Black Flag, because it would automatically destroy every argument they possible could have. They know that people like Black Flag. Odyssey was a joke and everyone knows that. Valhalla was step in right direction and that direction was never going to be going back to anything that happened before Black Flag. Assassin's Creed is important and popular because of three games, these are - Black Flag (best map and main character), Unity - (best graphics and parkour) and Origins (it was different from previous ones). So yeah, these are the three options Ubisoft has. They will never go back to AC 1 style and you guys know why? Because it wouldn't sell even half that Valhalla did, that's why. AC 1 is outdated and boring and it never that good anyway, so it's literally time to move on. It is very likely they go back to something like Unity / Syndicate, while having some Black Flag elements like you can still have a boat or something. That would be perfect balance, but to go back to AC 1? Never, absolutely never.… Expand

    Pretty good game! I wish it wasn't so long, because i feel like this game has little bit too much content, so maybe in next game less content, but more focused content and less random stuff. Other than that, it's fun, beautiful, open world.

    Thank god Ubisoft is still making games with normal combat, for people who actually have real life as well. I'm so sick and tired of these awful Souls games that have absolutely worst combat possible, i don't have time to fight every boss 30 times to learn their patterns, no thank you. Hopefully Ubisoft doesn't change and go that Souls route, then i would give up this series for sure.

    La historia del juego es muy buena, el mapa es enorme y las actualizaciones que ha ido recibiendo el juego lo ha hecho mejorar poco a poco. Un gran juego al que jugar decenas de horas si te gusta explorar y perderte por los mapas de los juegos.

    Great open world game, history accurate and very engaging. Interesting, ambitious script and gameplay. You entirely control the way you want to play it, thus comments saying it's a grind are funny, because someone chose such gameplay. Beautiful vistas, map is very much alive, though cluttered and may scare some.

    Suprisingly amazing game, if we exclude all microtransactions, dlc and bugs, i ve got platinum trophy for this game. I spent nearly 10 hours on it. And I say - it worth it. The lore of the AC series is developing in a satisfactory way. It's very unexpected.

    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.
