    I would say this might be one of the best ones yet. Graphically absolutely stunning no matter where you go, lighting is so good in this game. Snow effects in Norway are also almost top tier. Story is really long and most of the times interesting. Good.

    IGN gave this game 8/10, but Odyssey got 9.3/10, but This game is so much better than Odyssey and deserves at least 9/10.

    It's so obvious that whoever gives this anything below 7, has absolutely never (specially last 7 years) cared about Assassin's Creed games. I don't even wanna know what kind of overhyped trash these people play. AC Valhalla is one of the best AC games ever.

    Ubisoft somehow managed to make really good game in like 2 years, nice. Far Cry 5 had nice graphics, but story was meh and Odyssey was cool at first but overall it was meh. I don't even wanna mention last year's Ubisoft games. Valhalla turns the tables. Hopefully Far Cry 6 continues this trend and they actually stay good, how nice would that be.

    30 hours in and i'm very confused what "before you buy" was talking about. Maybe he really is just tired of these games and that's fine, but this one is million times better than Odyssey and very good AC game. So yeah, maybe i should trust myself more than watch some youtube videos.

    This game blows most 2020 entries away. Of course it had some bugs at launch, they fixed it basically with 1.0.4 patch. I played 3 hours after patch came out and haven't had any problems since. "Force Open Door" works perfectly now.

    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.

It's one of the better Assassin's Creed games ever and if you don't like it, go play your avengers.

    Story is surprisingly good, it almost sucks to bring it out like some BIG thing, but Odyssey's story was too "all over the place" and boring, at least to me. It had way too much pointless filler. Valhalla actually innovates a lot and feels more like Black Flag and Unity in 2020.

    One of the best Assassins Creed games yet. Even for the beginning of the next gen era, the graphics are stunning. Music is epic and fighting much fun. Some hard edges need to be patched but nothin world changing.

    Они исправили то, что пошло не так с Odyssey, и вернули недостающие элементы, улучшив историю, персонажей и мир. В следующем им нужно будет провести капитальный ремонт, но Валгалла - хорошее начало для игр Assassin's Creed следующей эры.Они исправили то, что пошло не так с Odyssey, и вернули недостающие элементы, улучшив историю, персонажей и мир.

    Would strongly recommend this to any Assassin's Creed fan who liked Black Flag or Unity!

    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.
