    Я бы сказал, что это, пожалуй, один из лучших. Графически абсолютно потрясающе, куда бы вы ни пошли, освещение в этой игре очень хорошее. Эффекты снега в Норвегии также почти на высшем уровне. История действительно длинная и в большинстве случаев интересная. Хорошо.Я бы сказал, что это, пожалуй, один из лучших.

    The story is fantastic, yes the game is long, yes it has loads of content, but also yes all of the side quests are some of the best in the series, especially from the two games prior. I hated it the first time i played, then put out 180 hrs the second time. Honestly just adjust the damage values and you will enjoy it.

    No había jugando ningún A.C lo compré por ser fanático de la historia vikinga, y realmente me sorprendió. Bastante bueno, se llega a sentir que eres un vikingo, lo recomiendo. Graficas muy buenas y por sobretodo la fluidez de los FPS que te dan una muy buena sensación en el juego.

    This comes from someone who HATED Odyssey and has 180 hours+ (and counting) on Valhalla. Is it the perfect AC game? No it isn't. AC Valhalla has glitches, bugs, repetitive gameplay and a lack of proper closure but these aspects do not prevent this one to be an amazing game.

    I absolutely LOVED exploring the maps, finding rare items and super cool, smaller quests. The main story is interesting and kept me engaged to the end. The graphics are beautiful and the game runs smoothly on 60fps on the PS5. Eivor is a fantastic character and so is the cast of characters around her/him.

    Not once I got bored with Valhalla. Odyssey was bloated and boring and endless but I never had this feeling from this one. Hope Ubisoft stays on this track.

    I have only 2 complaints, though: 1) the game can be buggy sometimes and this has an impact on quests and sidequests (fishing is broken TO THIS DAY, January 05th 2021) which means you cannot finish the fishing quests, as 2 fishes cannot be found. And 2) I did miss a "proper closure", a sense of finishing the game, seeing the credits roll. The game simply "ends" and you start the exploration. I know Ubisoft does not want us to feel the game has ended since this is business and they want to keep expanding it. But the game - and the team behind it - deserves an ending and recognition.

    All that being said, Assassins Creed Valhalla is amazing and deserves to bem played.    … Expand

    If you enjoy the AC series i promise you will enjoy Valhalla. Its not perfect; and as of version 1.04 still buggy in some areas but they will fix these as they have fixed many issues so far.

    My personal opinion so far is it is my favourite AC since AC 2. I have played as the male character and he is very likeable; i struggled with Origins and Odyssey to feel much for the protagonist but i really like Eivor.

    I like the platinum my games and this one is a biggy, 120 hours to plat; but it doesnt feel quite as overwhelming as the previous two titles. Also the various collectables and side stories feel much more varied and enjoyable. So much to do, and most if not all are very enjoyable.

    Id rate this a 10 but for now it does have a few bugs that can be annoying, but not game breaking that i have experienced. A big game is practical too, because games arent cheap so this can really give you your monies worth.

    Overall id say if you like AC this is a must buy; and if you are new to the series then id say its a really good open world action adventure. The lore and history is interesting. I dont think many will be disappointed with this game.

    9/10 - great game    … Expand

    A big, fabulous game with great writing and an engaging storyline. And probably the first AC game with a great ending, and not just danbrownian "duh! aliens!" plot twist.

    I think it would be just as good with fewer meaningless side-quests, but then again, no one forced me to do all of them, and there were some gems in those side-stories so it's a small complaint.

    Although fire is stupid in this game, you can get killed by fire you aren’t even seeing and I also don’t like how the game makes you either go full completionist or you need to lower the difficulty because I did a LOT of side quests and yet I’m below the recommended level for the next story mission. Other then that the game is awesome.

    Assassins Creed is my favrotie series of all time, so im harder on this series than I am with any other game.. and while Valhalla is a great game and my score will reflect that, as an assassins creed game, assassins creed Valhalla isa complete disappointment.
    Here you play as avore, becauseubisoft cares more about its precious sales you chose either man version or female version because ubisoft is afraid to commit and want to make everyone happy.. you set off on a Viking adventure to basically take over England during the dark ages.. and sadly this is more of a Viking game with assassins creed mechanics rather than an assassins creed game where you play as a Viking, the lore of the Templars and the assassins is there.. infct the whole uncovering the order side thing odyssey had going on is valhallas main focus, and I love that… however the game built around it is the most hallow money grab of a game in probably the entire assassins creed series… they sold you on Vikings, rob and pillage, this is fun about 0 times, its never fun going into an area for a raid, opening chests and collecting all of the loot, its repetive and bland, and that can be said for the entire game… im one to uncover every inch of an assassins creed game, read very document, platinum it.. but assassins creed Valhalla is so hollow that I found myself skipping through a lot of its dialog as the story is broken up into individual kingdoms you go out and help… this is less of an assassins creed game, you know.. a game where you relive memories of someone that was supposed to have actually existed to learn more about the orer and the places of the pieces of edden, and just a boring Viking game where you go from kingdom to kingdom taking care of that kingdoms individual problems, it’s a 70 hour long game of individual mini stories that by themselves could be okay experiences, but in an assassins creed game they feel like a waste of time not adding anything to the overall world of assassins creed, no one will remember Valhalla as a step forward for the series, infact in a lot fof places Valhalla steps back, for example its loot, there is next to none, yet you still collect it from time to time, its such an awkward system that you forget there are other weapons and armorus you can pick up.. youll mpost likely stick to the first or second piece of gear you find in the game and stick to that all the way through, especially thanks to the grind heavy upgrading system here that require a ridiculous amount of recourses to upgrade weapons… where Valhalla steps forward though is you making choices that actually matter, your choices have consequences, you have different paths with different characters you can go down that don’t feel empty like odyssey did.. but back to the intial point, this is great if assassins creed were an rpg seres set in different time periods… but its not, its meant to be an experience of a story already told, not an unwritten story of your grandpa and you get to chose if he banged other Vikings or not… tell me if avor was gay or not, don’t let me chose, again.. commit to a character, tell me their story… this is not a solution to the story telling critques players have.. this is assassins creed, not dragon age.. tell me the story as it happened… but this is thebiggest assins creed game to date, though bigger isn’t always better, another first, this s the first time I gave up on collecting all the things in an assassins creed game, for one,, again the world felt boring pointless and hallow, even the side quests that were supposed to be the talk of the town, except for the mini game orlog, it had its hooks in me like gwent, and I love hunting down the zealots of the land, bringing my back to the original assassins creed.. but the colelctables here, the game just makes you work too hard to get, one too many are locked behind story progress – why even put it on the map then… and evry other one ios locked behing an environment puzzle.. I don’t mind this eveyr once in a while , but map cleaning in assassins creed is a form of meditation, if I have to figure out how to get to literally every chest in the world, it isn’t meditation anymore, it’s a puzzle game outside of the story, no thanks. Also traversal here is probably the worst in the series too, its wakward, plenty pof annoying deaths at the hands of climbing, The biggest disappointment overall is this games story, the worst ending in history if you can even call it an ending and the outside of the animus world features the least likably protagonist of all time, smoking doesn’t make you look like a badass, it makes you look inconsiderate of the people around you, but again, assassins creed Valhalla is a great game, the combat is fun, you can go down different paths to play the way you prefer, brute, ranged, stealth, or a mix of all 3…

    It's the best part of the Assassin's Creed series so far. I played them all so I am able to judge here. I've beaten Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla in 3 months. I thought it will be too much of Assassin's Creed but due to each game being better than the previous, I was not tired of all of this. But even so, Valhalla is much better than the previous parts.

It's an almost perfect action RPG game - good story, plenty of quite interesting OPTIONAL side activities, the best combat system in the Assassin's Creed series etc.

    Drawbacks are quite standard for Ubisoft: the game is too long. I've beaten the main story with plenty of sides in about 60 hours and about 20 hours more are needed for DLC and about 10-20 hours I guess for finishing with Order and other side quests. 100h is too much. People mostly like changes in their lives :) 100h in a single game is toooo damn much. Sony makes ideal-length games: Last of Us 2, GoW 2 and Horizon 2 are about 20-30 hours. It's the best length - not short not long.

    But even though I can't assess the game less than 10 of 10 because the amount of work done is terrifying. I played the game in 2023 so missed almost all bugs - good for me, LOL.    … Expand

    Graphics are beautiful in PS5 with rarely hiccups here and there. Gameplay is decent although after a certain level of Power, the challenge decreases significantly, you basically become overpowered at about 350 Power. You can always opt to increase difficulty and it does not impact your achievements, which is nice.

    One of the rare games I went full on and collected all trophies and this may give you an idea on how it hooks you up. I spent a total of 120 hrs in game and it easily deserved 9/10 in my scale.

    DLC's aside however next step in AC is very critical for the whole franchise. Origins kind of rebooted the gameplay and overall experience and I feel like with Valhalla a "trilogy" was completed. Now it is time to again have significant change in the series, otherwise it may turn into a large, repetitive and at some point, lacking innovation of a series.    … Expand

You play the main story line and discover nearly randomly the side quests. Besides I like the higher grade of violence in AC Valhalla. Fighting    One of my favorite games so far.

    Of course it has some bugs, it's insanely big open world game, but most bugs were fixed in 1.0.4 patch, now from here on it's just quality fixes and additional content.

    Some more patches would help, but overall it runs well and i haven't encountered any bugs, but i'm sure there's stuff to fix still, because it's very big open world. But other than that, it's really good.

    Norway and England look both incredible. Contrast between them makes both of them special in their own way. I love architecture in England, old bridges, towers, etc. Graphically stunning. Power level goes up really fast, if you actually loot chests and stuff. No grind or bs like that. Well done Ubisoft.

    I mean what can say is that i bought it day 1 and it was little rough, but playable for sure. Now it's in way better state and even tho it needs more patching, early game (and by that i mean at least first 50 hours) is all good. What needs more work is endgame, but overall it's very well made, maps are huge and there's so much to do and explore.

    This is best Ubisoft game in 3 years. I can't believe they delivered so well this time. Odyssey was big disappointment to me, so i wasn't expecting much. Yeah it had some bugs, but ones that annoyed me got fixed with patch 1.0.4. Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 is even buggier, so whoever whines about Valhalla bugs is just hypocrite at this point.

    Seems like Cyberpunk 2077 didn't live up to expectations. I watched some gameplay and nothing looked extremely new or interesting. More like same old, same old. Bough AC Valhalla instead and so far it's really fun. Of course AC Valhalla isn't anything new either, but at least it's fun and less buggy unlike Cyberpunk 2077.

    Ubisoft has lots of hits and misses and that's because they make so many games.
    But for almost every miss they have at least two hits.
    Ubisoft hits : Far Cry 3 (2012) , Far Cry 4 (2014), Watch_Dogs (2014) (PC Version, but PS4/Xbox One versions look decent as well), AC 4: Black Flag, AC Origins (2017), AC Valhalla (2020), Immortals: Fenyx Rising (2020), AC Unity (2014) (PC Version    Ubisoft has lots of hits and misses and that's because they make so many games.

    Ubisoft Fails: The Division (2016), Ghost Recon Breakpoint (2019), Watch Dogs: Legion (2020) If DLC and Online turn out to be REALLY good, it can go to "Decent category, right now it's too bland), Assassin's Creed 3 (2012), Heroes of might and magic VI (2011)

    Of course they have more games, but i tried to mention mix of modern and older games. My point stands that they have made some really good and even decent stuff. Valhalla easily belongs to "Ubisoft hits" category.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes a lot from its predecessors, to build on what is a familiar, yet fresh approach to the AC series. There are however a few changes to the traditional game that create a more immersive, organic gameplay experience than previous entries.

There are however a few changes to the traditional game that create a more immersive, organic gameplay experience than previous entries.

    The world is lush and feels alive on the PS5 with a decent level of asset diversity with changes in NPC Accents, foliage type/density, climate and topography. But you will notice a pattern of scripted dialogue, or reactions that are unchanged through every place you visit over time.

    Combat feels great most of the time, but can get frustrating. Whilst it does add extra ‘weight’ to combat, I had difficulty getting used to the slower speed of attacking, parrying and blocking, often pressing a button, only to have my character respond late and miss combos.

    Your conquest of England is split into topple or instate a new leader objectives. This does come with more variety than “Go there, kill the thing, come back” approach from previous games, though that can still happen at times. Some conquests have investigative elements, giving you the opportunity to side with one individual over another to gain the leader’s loyalty. Investigate poorly or accuse incorrectly and you may be in dire straits. Don’t worry, regular autosaves allow you to undo these mistakes, if you’d rather correct them. The push and pull between the Eivor and their brother and his loyalists is an interesting dynamic to navigate. You’ll feel bound to the plot, desperately needing to know what happens next.

    There is SO much to do in Valhalla, even after completing the game. Tandem side missions running in parallel to the Main Quest are excellent and some even transport you to new worlds (I’ll say no more). Throughout the sizeable map you’ll find most icons replaced by dots, which are split by colour into 3 categories - Wealth, Mysteries and Artifacts. Each side pursuit will require a different approach - be it exploration, a retrieve this or protect this, a raid, out of the box thinking or flat out combat and there’s enough variety to not feel like you’re “grinding” to get to the next level, because whilst you do level up, you also receive resources to progress your settlement, allow you to upgrade weaponry or unlock another piece of a unique armour set furthering your badass-ery. 

Some side missions can be failed easily, since a lot of them leave things up to the power of suggestion, without detailing objective information. Annoyingly, once you make a mistake, you are usually unable to complete said mission… In particular anything involving a crate moved from point a to point b was problematic. It would be nice to have the ability to reset World Missions to be able to complete a region when a mistake is made.



    A consistent theme with this saga (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) is the developer's inability to fully commit to to the Modern-Day plot and the order of Assassins itself. Both of which are treated like a side-piece now, when they were once considered the very foundation of the game. The lack of connection from future to past within the Modern-Day plot, really removes the layer of believability it once had. Present day scenes are now wafer thin in substance and meaningless contributions that do nothing for the game, other than furthering the present day plot at an excruciatingly slow pace.

    Some glitches were present within the game, I have been launched across the map randomly by a gust of glitch wind, bosses would leave the combat circle and be unable to return, enemies would frequently re-spawn after being killed and ruin a stealth mission, rag-doll physics would occasionally turn corpses into projectiles and combat finishers were performed on thin air.

    I have to mention the huge disparity in the quality of Voice Acting between Male Eivor and Female Eivor. In my experience Female Eivor had the dynamic acting range of a brick, often giving generic, dry delivery for every line with a teaspoon of gravel in every line. I don’t doubt the voice actor’s ability or training in the slightest, but I do get the sense there wasn’t any consistency in the way the actors were directed. 



    Overall, I predominantly focused my gameplay on main missions, with the occasional side quest I came upon in exploration, I managed to sink around 90 hours into the game. The game’s ending opens up huge possibilities for the future of the franchise. This game exceeded my expectations but did still lack some magic ingredients to make it a perfect game. I can’t wait to see where AC takes us next and for Ubisoft to once again raise the bar for this franchise.    … Expand

    Game overall is good. However itemization of gear is a huge flaw (I never really swapped gear at any point of the game), and towards the end, the majority of side quests, main quests get repetitive (after over 60 hours of game play). Go there, talk to them, go there talk to them, go there kill one person. Still very good

    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.
