    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.

    I like this series so much, makes me feel like i'm actually going back in time and thank god they choose Norway-England setting in 2020, so it could be shown with best possible graphics. One of my favorite regions in Europe.

    Would you rather play remake of game that came out in 2009 or you would play amazing Assassin epic? I would choose second one.

    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 one keeps it real. Hood back, hidden blade back, good story back, good characters back, interesting map back.

    Games like this don't release that often, been gamin about 20 years and this is worth it. Really is. Specially after patch 1.0.4

    Gotta be honest, i didn't "get it" at first, but when i got to England and started raiding and stuff it got really good.

    Ubisoft confuses me, they make absolute trash like breakpoint and then they make near-masterpiece like Valhalla. WTF? More of this and less of Breakpoint.

    It's simple, 9/10 from me, oh sorry, 10/10, because some idiots keep giving it 0/10 for whatever reason.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla belongs to my top 10 of 2020 list. Absolutely nothing would take it out from that list. So good.

    There's a lot of room for improvements and i bet Cyberpunk comes out before all these can be applied, but i think they will support this game for long time into 2021, so it's all good. So far impressions are very positive.

    This new patch really improved this game, even tho it was amazing anyway, but it's good to get patches that actually improve stuff.

    No wonder it sold over 1.8mil copies, it's really good. I could listen that main menu music for hours lol.

    Seems so underrated or maybe it's just haters who make it look like it's underrated? idk, either way recommending, if you like open world games that have tons of stuff to do.

    This game has possibly most relaxing and same time hype music i have ever heard in video game. It's not some random tunes, but really well made soundtrack. Game is good too.

    I preordering it in June i think, i was 50/50 at first, but i was like "whatever", because setting was very promising. I had high hopes, but didn't want to over-hype it either. now been playing it 10 days or so and it's so good.

    Climbing mountains/buildings feels really smooth this time and this time there's actually places to climb unlike in Odyssey.

    It's rare when i don't feel that i lost my money buying a game. There's always this "maybe i shouldn't", but not with this one. I'm actually addicted.

    Runs well on PS5, seems like latest patch fixed most serious issues. Overall very fun and beautiful game.

    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.

    Positive impressions after 10 hours of playing. Longer reviews later, but it's solid so far.

    I get serious Black Flag vibes, even tho i liked Unity too (i don't care about rough launch, they fixed it). Very good, hopefully DLC's are equally good.

    I'm someone who really thinks deeply what games to spend my time on and what not. So far been playing Valhalla about 20 hours and i can already tell that i'm easily going to 100's. Very addicting and beautiful graphics too.

    Beautiful graphics on both Norway and England, framerate is good most of the time, story is fun, combat is okay, i really like it.

    I would say so far it feels like one of the best Assassin's Creed games, maybe close second to Black Flag from modern era.

    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.
