    Finally good Assassin's Creed game. One hit Assassination is back, Hood is back, epic.

    Highly recommending this one, if you have ever even slightly liked AC games. Hidden blade is back, you can remove your hood at any moment or wear it if you want. Both England and Norway looks incredible. There's so many places to climb and parkour. Graphics are also 10/10.

    Amazing soundtrack, i could literally meditate to that main menu music, so well done.
    If you hate this game, maybe just give up gaming or something, find new hobby, because you clearly aren't able to enjoy greatness. If it's not your style or whatever, that's fine, Assassin's Creed was never "game for everyone", but just hating it shows how pathetic you are.
    Amazing game.

    Maybe little bit early to review it, because i haven't finished main story, but i like it a lot.
    I hardly had any interest in missions in Odyssey, but Valhalla is different. Might be one of the best games i have played this year, alongside Doom Eternal.

I had trouble getting started, because the game is different from it's predecessor, with changes in emphasis to match the character of the hero. I ended up taking quite a bit of fall damage until I had figured out what worked for me and what did not. I played through at my own pace, in about a year, starting on Stadia and finishing on PS5. The breath of side quests kept me engaged, and I paced the storyline because I didn't want to hurry too much. In terms of value/money, this game heads my personal charts. I particularly loved the ending - the integration of the future storyline with the past is much more meaningful and mysterious than in prior games, and the ending hits hard both philosophically and on an emotional level, while simultaneously raising a few hair-raising questions about the entire Isu universe and the future of the franchise. Well done. Insanely well done.… Expand

The order of the ancients was not that intriguing to me as the cult of cosmos was in Asassin's creed odyssey or even the order of the ancients in Assassin's creed origins i didn't feel that connected to them i didn't see them as threatening as in the previous games maybe because they where not the main focus the main focus of the story is the ancient gods THE ISO AC valhalla connects Asassin's creed origins and Odyssey story it was an amazing viking experience i wish Bjorn ironside was alive i wish Ragnar Lothbrok was alive so i could raid with them I wish they hired voice actors from the viking TV series and made the characters look like in the history TV series vikings i wish i could raid with Lagertha and sale on the boats of Floki that was a missed opportunity i don't think ubisoft handled the sons of ragnar partically well they made Ivar the boneless blinded by revenge and Ivar is never that blind he is very cunning and smart like his father Ragnar i was forced to kill Ivar there was no other options and Ubba's character felt like a filler in the story he is one of the great sons of ragnar yet they barely included him in the story they made him gullible and gave him a pointless death i liked King Alfred reminded me of the King Alfred from The Last kingdom i loved the progression of Basim it was a big surprise who Eivor Sigurd and Basim turned out to be i feel like Sigurd should have had more involvement in the story it felt kinda lonely traveling most of the time without him raiding and plundering without him i really loved sigurd's character i felt like he needed more involvement into the story of the game and gameplay of the game and i could say the same of King Harald the king of all norway we saw him in the begining of the game and than nothing that left a sour taste in my mouth since i love kind Harald in the viking Tv series i would love to see more from King Harald if the game is gonna have more DLC expansions after the Siege of Paris. this game has an overall improvement from Origins and Odyssey in the combat mechanics the dual weilding system is the best thing that happened to this game there is so many build choices you can go and the movesets are awesome i love the legendary weapons and the blacksmith crafting systems i love that you don't have to grind an entire decade for materials to upgrade your gear like in Odyssey i love that most of your ship crew fights with you when you raid i actually want the entire crew of the ship to plunder with me some of them stay on the ship the abilities are great Odyssey had better abilities the armor sets weapons and runes could use better perks i platinumed this game over 400hours i'm off to play Paris DLC but even with all it's flaws this is the best viking adventure and it will be remembered as the last best Assassin's creed of all time… Expand

    To be completely honest, it's one of three games (other two are doom eternal and final fantasy 7 remake) i have truly enjoyed in 2020 and even at that, it might take top spot. Yes i'm hardcore Assassin's Creed fan, but it could have been easily boring and grindy like Odyssey, but it isn't It's absolute opposite. Amazing.

    Combat is awesome, Dual wield being the killler new feature, Lots of different combos and ways to play. The viking ship is pretty neat but generally i go everywhere by horse so it feels a bit uselss unless you are going raiding.

    Music is fantastic, sets the mood for each zone nicelely, I found myself turning it up and the combat down a bit to enjoy it, usually i wouldn't bother.

    Voice acting grows on you, i've only played as male at first i wasn't impressed but now i can't imagine it being anything else.

    Story is great, while the areas you go to are sort of linear due to gear level requirements it still feels like you have lots of choice, I'm absolutely blown away at how much content there really is, With a side story in Asgard the size of DLC, seriously, for the price, this game is insanely dense.

    The game environment is very beautiful and reminds me of Witcher 3. It has a very good artistic design.
    The gameplay is a lot better than the Odyssey. It offers many and various facilities and capabilities to the players.
    In many ways it is one of the best open world games in history.

It's very clear that these people haven't even played latest AC and have no intention to do so, but they are so empty and sad that they need to hype their "sony exclusive" by giving other games low scores.… Expand

    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.

    Thank god i found Gamespot review for Cyberpunk 2077, they literally gave Cyberpunk 2077 lower score than Valhalla. Cyberpunk must be really buggy, because 7/10 is pretty low score for game that has been in development over 7 years. So as of right now i bought Valhalla and so far it's pretty nice. Maybe trying Cyberpunk 2077 in 2021 when they finally fix the game.

    I enjoyed playing this game. It has a lot of fun mechanics/mode. But the story starts with a bang, then whimpers out midway through (after Suthsexe). The second half story feels a bit like grinding through zones with not much of an overarching story. I would also have liked to see more stealth-focused missions -- like the earlier AC games.

Также очень приятно выглядит цвет игры, он теперь приглушенно темный, выглядит более реалистично чем в ярких предшественниках.
    Из минусов можно отметить сюжет, ну не держит он в тонусе, хотя кто играет в ассасин ради сюжета? Тем не менее мне куда интереснее строить свой город, чем искать свою мать/отца.

    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.
