    Seriously surprise, but a welcome one! Odyssey was extremely meh, but this on feels like....actually assassin's creed, how about that.

    Pretty fun game, all the grind from Odyssey is completely gone, now you get +2 skill points and a lot xp from each quest.

    Я провел около десяти часов, и игра пока отличная, да, было несколько ошибок, но теперь они исчезли с патчем. Люди, которые говорят, что это рескин или копипаст, лгут себе и всем остальным и явно не играли в игру. ubisoft включил эту работу, и это ни в коем случае не является изменением. мир прекрасен, а история интригует. и я, например, люблю жестокие бои.Я провел около десяти часов, и игра пока отличная, да, было несколько ошибок, но теперь они исчезли с патчем.

    Atmosphere, graphics on both Norway and England, very cool combat, better story than last two games, one of the best voice actors for main character, it's just well done game.

    Um dos melhores Assassins creed, porém como de costume peca nos bugs, e peca também na falta de inovação.

    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.

    Graphics - 9/10
    Sound/Music - 10/10
    Gameplay 9/10 - few changes compared to previous games in the series ( Origins, Odyssey)

    This game is a significant downgrade from Origins. The gaming mechanics are pure trash. Advertised as a "PS5 Upgrade" the graphics and atmosphere are not even comparable to Black Flag. Another cut and paste game from a series that is getting worse, not better.

    Idk why the game gets so much praise. The graphics are pretty yeah, but the levelling system completely lacks substance, the world is bland despite its beauty, and the lack of meaningful side content is abysmal. A lot of cool concepts are introduced, however hardly any are followed up on. Along with this the game is a technical mess plagued by bugs and progression blocking glitches.

A lot of cool concepts are introduced, however hardly any are followed up on. Along with this the game is a technical mess plagued by bugs and progression blocking glitches. 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

    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

    You are in for the long haul but it's an enjoyable time. Expect around 100 hrs game time for the average player.
    Pros
    1. Extremely vast open world that consists of at least 4 different maps while still not counting DLC 2. Rendered beautifully on Next-gen 3. Almost non existent loading times is unbelievable on such a vast game 4. Lots of things to collect, explore and quests to tackle 5.    You are in for the long haul but it's an enjoyable time.

    A very great entry to the Assassin's Creed series. I didn't get into this game until January 2022 so this review is about the latest version of the game.

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

    this is a big step backwards from Oddessy and Origins. The stealth has even less of a emphasis now and its never really explained to you again that you should be stealth through the cities you find. they assume you have played the last two.
    even on the harder difficulty i never had a need to use stealth at all for any part of the game, so the game becomes extremely shallow very quickly.    this is a big step backwards from Oddessy and Origins.

    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

    AC Valhalla plays way better on PS5 than PS4. Would strongly recommend getting this version, if possible, but PS4 version also has free upgrade.

    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.
