    Nonsense and huge map, boring and super childish side missions, lots of glitches
    but I liked male Eivor and customization

    Joguei o Origins e o Odyssey. Valhalla consegue aprimorar ainda mais a fórmula, história e combate. Uma delícia de aventura e mundo aberto.

    The audio is atrocious, I mean so bad that it's unplayable. Combat isn't great and feels like you're just punching air. Can't say much for the story as I have only played 3 hours. Overall not great.

    По сравнению с Одиссеей - это просто халтура какая то в графическом плане: артефакты, текстуры прогружаются на глазах, серая унылая графика. Боёвка ужасно кривая

    I know I have done a 3 (origins & odyssey & valhalla) review before, but this will be a more general descriptive review, thank you to all who read and commented in advance.

    İyiGame Good Things

    Story (No spoilers)
    The story of the game lasts for a minimum of 60 maximum 90 hours according to the gameplay.This is good news for those who pre-order the game like me or buy it shortly after the release, but it contains a handicap that can be liked in general, but it progresses very disconnected from each other, unfortunately. The 20-minute episode in the final of the game did not satisfy me, but this does not show that it is bad, I can say that it is an Assasin's Creed game with a good final.

    Play
    Even though it feels very strange after experiencing 100+ hours of power fantasy and origins in Assasin's Creed Odyssey, the gameplay of the game depends on the person's ability to parry and attack at the right time is a concept that I always like and generally the finisher animations repeat themselves after 70 hours of playing. I can also say that it is satisfactory, the feeling of the hit is still weak, but it is stronger than origins and odyssey in general, I can say that I did not experience a certain error problem or animation glitch while playing, so it has a nice gameplay but unfortunately it cannot handle a 70-hour game.
    Graphics
    I finished the game on PlayStation 4 and I can say that the water appearance and effects were better compared to the first 2 games of the series, but of course since it is a brand that releases a game every year or 2 years, I did not see a difference, of course, this is my ps4. It may also be due to my playing so I do not go too long here.
    Game's Map
    England and Norway are beautifully reflected, but I think it is too colorful for a country that has constant rainfall and sees the sun once a month, or I look at it in detail.    … Expand

    Un juego mediocre y mal Assassins Creed, un título que da la sensación de estar estirado cual chicle pero con muy buena ambientación, la orden es bastante predecible y los dlcs bastante flojos, un título que podría estar mucho mejor trabajado.

The lack of traditional side quests leaves the game filled with boring "world events" that have no plot to them whatsoever. The change to the loot and upgrade system makes it way too easy to max out your weapons early on and removes any reason to loot anything throughout the game.

Приятный , цепляющий герой , боевка прикольная и нету такой хуйни как в одиссее что у обычного бомжа было по миллион хит поинтов, правда со сложностью по итогам беда какая-то , я играл на средней сложности и все бои были слишком легкие. по сути все бои против боссов можно было завершать тупо даже не нанеся удара, просто юзая свои скиллы, это как то не очень, но я в принципе не гнался за хардкором поэтому сойдет. Красивая очень карта , понравилось апать деревню , прикол с набегами тоже прикольная фишка, что-то новое я бы даже сказал в игровой индустрии. В целом круто было по кусочкам захватывать англию. Finally вернули death сцены с origins, а то в одиссее было по уебищному, типо убил супер важного чела и убил, правда в этой игре все культисты казались какими-то слишком обычными и не значимыми тут минус для меня был. Диалоги найс , флютинг интересная вещь, орлог тоже придумали интересно.
    Минусы в этой игре, это гринд для меня, ну его слишком уж много, не думаю что кому то в кайф прям настолько много лутатся, вот в ведьмаке допустим его было в меру как по мне.
    Еще минус в синих бонусах, по типу собрать камни, по началу казалось забавным, но потом проведя часов 45 в игре, это уже казалось адом, это печально , ибо мне хотелось закончить везде синие бонуски в каждом регионе, но на это вообще силы сложно найти
    В общем, я бы сказал что это ведьмак на минималках (ну или средних) , хорошая игра, я бы поставил ей 8, но как то я подумал, что вот к примеру дополнения на ведьмака я бы еще на часов 1000 купил, а в acv я всё, я устал, я не вывезу еще больше играть в эту игру,получается что игра все таки не на столько хороша в по моим меркам оценивания, странное ощущение по итогу складывается, в общем 7 с +.    … Expand

    Valhalla is a great game in the same level of Ghost of Tsushima. An interesting story in the times of viking invasions of England. The game changes for better the mechanics of Odyssey and Origins. The combat is looking at The level of Odyssey, and The freedom is bigger than in other titles of the saga. The game comes back to sandbox. Welcome again!!!!

    Hey, this game is really really cool and super beautiful. I get so addicted to these awesome open world games. The story and the characters were much better than some of the other Assassins games. The leveling and equipment worked well, not sure I liked it more or less than other games, but I liked it nonetheless.

    I don't appreciate being offered gay sex every other scene when I clearly made choices in game to play as a straight guy. If you want to make a gay game, do that, and make it clear that's your agenda. It's creepy to sneak it into games you know kids and straights play. Maybe give an option, if people don't pick your preferred gender bender ideology, live with it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 80 HEURES!!!! Juste pour finir la quête principale et de m'occuper de quelques annexes. La narration est beaucoup trop dilué, en gros pour faire avancer l'histoire, il faut impérativement aider une région, dans l'ordre que l'on souhaite, le problème c'est qu'on se concentre beaucoup plus sur l'histoire de chacune des régions que sur la Trame principale qui nous est distillé de temps a autre a travers 80 heures!!! je ne vais pas parler du présent, a part a la toute fin du jeu ou on nous tease clairement quelque chose de gros pour la suite!!

    Le problème de ce jeu, c'est que l'ordre des assassins est encore une fois au second plan, beaucoup trop de choses a faire qui n'ont pas necessairement d'utilité, les quetes secondaires sont bien intégrer au jeu mais malheureusement, une fois que vous avec lancer une quete annexe, vous êtes quasi dans l'obligation de la terminer sur le champ, car vous n'aurez aucune info écrite que ce soit dans le HUD ou dans le journal de quêtes, si vous avez décider de stopper votre partie pour reprendre plus tard, vous n'aurez aucun moyen (si ce n'est internet) de savoir a quoi consister votre mission annexe que vous aviez enclencher précédemment.

    Pour les point positifs, je note l'ambiance encore une fois UBI sais très bien gérer ca, la map est plutôt belle, même si on aura tendance a traverser de longues plaines sans âme qui vive, la encore la map n'est pas suffisamment bien rempli. Les combats sont vraiment très bon, on prend un certain plaisir, a balancer quelques exécutions par-ci par la.

    En définitive cette Assassin's creed est clairement pour moi l''un des moins bon de la saga, la formule initier par Origins est ici pousser a son paroxysme, et on se retrouve avec beaucoup trop de choses a faire, et pour la plupart pas très intéressante!!    … Expand

Seems like this game has been the final nail in the coffin regarding Darby's departure from Ubisoft, hopefully he joins a team that will give him freedom to create the story he wants to create. It is hard not to see this game as a money grabbing tool that Ubisoft have created with the Helix store, limiting the amount of content (armour sets, weapons) in the base game then adding all other content behind pay walls is disgusting charging £10 - £15 per armour pack for a 'singleplayer' game, I wrote a post on reddit and made a petition regarding this if you want to know more follow the links below I go little further imln depth regarding the matter.

Took 128 hours to do everything in the base game. Combat and atmosphere seems to be inspired by God of War(2018). Medieval England is my favorite setting since Rome in AC: Brotherhood. Beautiful game with a grimy realism. You can almost smell the smoke-filled homes and unwashed bodies. Darkest and most lurid game in the history of Assassin's Creed. For the first time I can recall there are some real moral choices you have to make that aren't easy, and the game can sometimes become philosophical.

    On the downside the game is very buggy, and even 9 months after release serious bugs exist that can prevent you from fully completing the game. Often my character would turn around completely when aiming with the bow, or get warped to the edge of the game map. Sometimes got stuck in walls. For the entire 2nd expansion my horse refused to run(very annoying). AC: Valhalla was also too wordy. There were far too many cutscenes and too much dialogue with people endlessly yapping about nothing. It's turning into a JRPG with all the bloviating.

    The absolute worst part of the game though is all the terrible puzzles. it seems like every other treasure chest requires you to solve a little puzzle. Some of these require keys, hidden underground entrances, magic entryways, or my favorite, a game of find the hidden explosive urn. A lot of treasure is hidden behind walls that can only be destroyed using explosives, and there will be 1 explosive urn hidden somewhere relatively closeby, but can still take 20 minutes to find. It's very obnoxious and I recommend just using Youtube videos, because there was no gameplay value in wandering around until you stumbled upon the hidden answer. There are also these stacking cairn puzzles where you have to play Jenga with rocks. It too is frustrating and a terrible waste of time in terms of gameplay.    … 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.
