    8 Days to go for Cyberpunk 2077, so hyped! But until then i can play this epic, been having so much fun with Valhalla, would recommend if you like big open world games.

    I never really cared for Odyssey, yeah it was fun in 2018, but overall story sucked and it missed so many AC elements. Valhalla fixes it all. Only thing i would complain about Valhalla is that i run out of arrows all the time. Why can't i craft arrows? Come on Ubisoft.

    Always makes me wonder how empty and worthless i would need to be to give 0/10 to game i have never played. These haters are some very "special" people.

    One of the better games of 2020 and absolute winner of November 2020 lineup.

    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.

    Ghost of Tsushima shouldn't be even compared to AC Valhalla. Yes they share similar elements, but overall they are completely different games. AC Valhalla world is way bigger, deeper and it's part of long series. Ghost of Thusima is completely different thing. There you wont climb mountains and assassinate people with hidden blade.

It's pretty obvious that losers who give Valhalla low scores and have Ghost of Thusima as 10/10 in their profile have either never cared about Assassin's Creed series / never played them or are just sony fanboys. Either way Valhalla is without a question better game, but i'm not saying Ghost of Thusima is bad, they are just different and seems like some people don't understand that at all. If you want Assassin's Creed to be like Ghost of Thusima, then that just shows that you have never understood what Assassin's Creed is and these games are clearly not for you.… Expand

    That's why sites like "Steam" are so much better, because there you actually need to show that you own the game. Over 50% negative reviews here are fake or double fake accounts. I did some investigation and it's so obvious. Most of them haven't even played it and just watch some youtube videos of other games or are fanboys of other games and are envy that Valhalla gets so much attention,That's why sites like "Steam" are so much better, because there you actually need to show that you own the game.

    So i played Valhalla for 67 hours and im still not finished with the story. But I think I am able to say a lot about the game and how good it is. Im gonna start with the good Parts and continue with the bad ones.

    GOOD PARTS: Loot: I really disliked the loot system in Origins and Odyssey. It was just to much of everything. But now you have just a few items but you can upgrade them a lot    So i played Valhalla for 67 hours and im still not finished with the story. But I think I am able to say a lot about the game and how good it is. Im gonna start with the good Parts and continue with the bad ones.

    GOOD PARTS:
    Loot: I really disliked the loot system in Origins and Odyssey. It was just to much of everything. But now you have just a few items but you can upgrade them a lot which will save a lot of time switching armor everytime you find something new.

    Story: I REALLY like the story. Almost every character is interesting and have a lot of personality. The story is kinda simple but still entertaining.

    Graphics and sounds: The world looks amazing on my midrange PC (ryzen 3600, RTX 2060) and the sounddesign is just wonderful.

    Sidequests: I like that most of them are short.

    BAD PARTS:
    Fighting: I mean its cool that you can rip somebodys head of but it becomes boring and just steals time after the 10th time. And it happens a lot in a fight. More annoying then the finisher is the timing for dodging. Don't get me wrong sometimes you know exactly when to dodge or block but othertimes they show you the indicator and only attack you after 5 seconds.

    Stealth: It's sadly really bad. The thing that made AC so wunderful and special is almost gone. It's unnecessary and just time consuming. You get nothing out of it. No boosts, no money. And sometimes Avoir ist just doing weird things and jumps out of the bush when you want to get him in the bush. I think the only implement it to call the game a AC game.

    Climbing: Awful. If you want to climb up a mountain it's ok but if you want to do some parkour it's terrible. He just drops down or jumps to the other side of the wall and I have to admit it made me very angry a lot of times.

    Bugs: Just a lot of different bugs. Can't say so much because it's just really bad programmed.

    CONCLUSION:

    I love the idea of the game and I love the writing. But the gameplay lost it track a long time ago. And it's just so badly programmed. I mean you should think of somebody like Ubisoft a bit more. It's not just a random Indie studio it's **** Ubisoft, a bilion company.    … Expand

    - .5 : Combat, Gameplay : some cool new moves and ideas, but the enemy ai breaks down and it's like a hog poge of realistic and cartoon-ish moves. Doesn't feel very epic more cartoons here.
    - 1 : Story starts off bad, but gets alot better 15 hr in, characters are a bit bland and you don't really get their motives, cartoon-ish lines and it feels like they don't give you much views into the real history and culture of the vikings. It's like a AC game skinned as vikings. a bit cartoon-ish then epic tale.
    -1 : Character Story Dissonance, Your suppose to be a good guy, Light side, but go around killing poor people and burning their villages. Very unlikable and bland characters.
    -1 : Technical - Jank and glitches everywhere, motion blur looks bad, enemies will dart around the battlefield at inhuman paces. Ai goes crazy as well, poor ai.

    Been hardcore Assassin's Creed fan since 2013 and i'm very impressed with Valhalla. Without a question it's one of the best in the series taking elements from Origins and Black Flag, while also adding something completely new. I personally found "Ghost of Tsushima" pretty boring compared to Valhalla, but these games shouldn't be compared anyway, because they are very different.

The gear system is a downgrade from Odyssey. The missions are boring and repetitive with awful gameplay mechanics.

    There is nothing to do in the open world. All you can do is ride around a horse in the middle of nowhere, not to mention that the horse mechanics are garbage. The world just has a bunch of plants, trees, rocks, and dirt, which is all poorly detailed. That is so boring to explore. Is there any multiplayer to make up for the boring and empty open world? Oh that's right, there is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is not a reason to play this game again. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand

    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.
