    Assassin's creed Valhalla is not an original assassin game, however I still love the style of AC Valhalla.
    To me the stealth and exploration are still fascinating, the story and graphic portray stunning.
    I spent nearly 250 hours for this game!! Great game

    Big beautiful open world, interesting storyline. Everything is high quality as usual in this series. Over 100 hours of history.

Here the ending is interesting & understandable. Above all the stories of every kingdom & the characters are all individual & stay in my memory (compared to many of the previous games a big step forward if you play games mainly for the story like me). With the viking impact this AC feels different than previous ACs. I really like that.
    I only have to negative feelings about this game. 1) Fighting is still not challenging enough & feels for most of the game the same (I would wish something like the combat of Ghost of Tsushima) 2) The game is too long. I needed around 90 hours to play through the main campaign. Nobody needs such a long game, perfect length for main story is max. 40 hours if a game is good otherwise it gets a bit boring.    … 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

    Juegazo!!! Las últimas 2 entregas de la franquicia han sido espectaculares. Me encantó la jugabilidad y las mejoras que implementaron respeto a Odissey. Solamente cambiaría el final de la historia porque no cuadra del todo pero eso no quita que sea muy bien juego.

    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 !

And boy howdy have I enjoyed it. I got it on release and now I'm almost 300 hours in and I'm still not done with the main story because I know once I beat it that's it, there's no more main story. What have I been doing for 300 hours? Literally all the side content including daily contracts. Typically hate microtransactions but the fact that they offer the money currency and shop in game is a happy medium. I could justify spending the extra on the season pass because of that.

    My one complaint is every once in a while I experience a game breaking bug and I have to replay a section over again. Over a year into the game I feel like this maybe shouldn't be happening? I've played older and newer games that don't have this issue.

    I'm also not a huge fan of an over crowded map but this is more of a personal preference than something inherently wrong with the game.    … Expand

    Thank god Ubisoft is still making games with normal combat, for people who actually have real life as well. I'm so sick and tired of these awful Souls games that have absolutely worst combat possible, i don't have time to fight every boss 30 times to learn their patterns, no thank you. Hopefully Ubisoft doesn't change and go that Souls route, then i would give up this series for sure.

    La historia del juego es muy buena, el mapa es enorme y las actualizaciones que ha ido recibiendo el juego lo ha hecho mejorar poco a poco. Un gran juego al que jugar decenas de horas si te gusta explorar y perderte por los mapas de los juegos.

    This game has incredible atmosphere and music. I literally spent over 30 minutes just climbing the walls of London and enjoying the sunset. There are many incredible looking locations in this game. If you go into walking mode, some of the best music pieces of AC series history, start playing.

    I have seen that some are trying to point out, that this game is empty, that's not true at all.    This game has incredible atmosphere and music.

    I have seen that some are trying to point out, that this game is empty, that's not true at all. It has just enough things to explore, but some of the empty areas are very much intentional. Red Dead Redemption 2 was exactly the same way. There are areas that have interesting stuff and then there are areas of just nature, beaches, forests etc. After all it's trying to be realistic presentation of 800s Norway and England. It would be awful, if behind every corner was some monster to fight with or gang of soldiers. That's one of the reasons why Odyssey failed, it had too much unnecessary content and thankfully Valhalla fixes that mistake.

    Story in this game isn't sadly strongest, but it's not bad either. Just somewhere in between. Some missions are very fun, some are very basic and even boring. For example i was way more interested in Black Flag's story. But to look at this game as a complete package, it's still very nice and overall game design/open world design is way better than last two entries.

    I have no idea where AC is going next or what's happening with this series, but if Valhalla happens to be last decent AC, then at least this series ended on positive note.    … Expand

    Вальгалла очень понравилась своими активностями в открытом мире. Их там тьма несусветная, на любой вкус. Основная сюжетная линия значительно улучшилась по сравнению с Одиссеей. Из минусов только крайне лишние набеги за лутом, эта часть игры смотрелась как донатная помойка.Вальгалла очень понравилась своими активностями в открытом мире.

While i like deserts and color scheme of Origins a lot, it can get kind of boring after a while. But in Valhalla, there's so much variety. Even just map of England, full of different unique looking places and snowy Norway stands on it's own. Odyssey was garbage and Valhalla 100% went in better direction. This is not my favorite type of AC, but i still like it a lot. Music, graphics, main character's voice acting (Male), map design, color scheme, art style- it's all well done.… Expand

    This comes from someone who HATED Odyssey and has 180 hours+ (and counting) on Valhalla. Is it the perfect AC game? No it isn't. AC Valhalla has glitches, bugs, repetitive gameplay and a lack of proper closure but these aspects do not prevent this one to be an amazing game.

    I absolutely LOVED exploring the maps, finding rare items and super cool, smaller quests. The main story is interesting and kept me engaged to the end. The graphics are beautiful and the game runs smoothly on 60fps on the PS5. Eivor is a fantastic character and so is the cast of characters around her/him.

    Not once I got bored with Valhalla. Odyssey was bloated and boring and endless but I never had this feeling from this one. Hope Ubisoft stays on this track.

    I have only 2 complaints, though: 1) the game can be buggy sometimes and this has an impact on quests and sidequests (fishing is broken TO THIS DAY, January 05th 2021) which means you cannot finish the fishing quests, as 2 fishes cannot be found. And 2) I did miss a "proper closure", a sense of finishing the game, seeing the credits roll. The game simply "ends" and you start the exploration. I know Ubisoft does not want us to feel the game has ended since this is business and they want to keep expanding it. But the game - and the team behind it - deserves an ending and recognition.

    All that being said, Assassins Creed Valhalla is amazing and deserves to bem played.    … Expand

    Although fire is stupid in this game, you can get killed by fire you aren’t even seeing and I also don’t like how the game makes you either go full completionist or you need to lower the difficulty because I did a LOT of side quests and yet I’m below the recommended level for the next story mission. Other then that the game is awesome.

    Here you play as avore, becauseubisoft cares more about its precious sales you chose either man version or female version because ubisoft is afraid to commit and want to make everyone happy.. you set off on a Viking adventure to basically take over England during the dark ages.. and sadly this is more of a Viking game with assassins creed mechanics rather than an assassins creed game where you play as a Viking, the lore of the Templars and the assassins is there.. infct the whole uncovering the order side thing odyssey had going on is valhallas main focus, and I love that… however the game built around it is the most hallow money grab of a game in probably the entire assassins creed series… they sold you on Vikings, rob and pillage, this is fun about 0 times, its never fun going into an area for a raid, opening chests and collecting all of the loot, its repetive and bland, and that can be said for the entire game… im one to uncover every inch of an assassins creed game, read very document, platinum it.. but assassins creed Valhalla is so hollow that I found myself skipping through a lot of its dialog as the story is broken up into individual kingdoms you go out and help… this is less of an assassins creed game, you know.. a game where you relive memories of someone that was supposed to have actually existed to learn more about the orer and the places of the pieces of edden, and just a boring Viking game where you go from kingdom to kingdom taking care of that kingdoms individual problems, it’s a 70 hour long game of individual mini stories that by themselves could be okay experiences, but in an assassins creed game they feel like a waste of time not adding anything to the overall world of assassins creed, no one will remember Valhalla as a step forward for the series, infact in a lot fof places Valhalla steps back, for example its loot, there is next to none, yet you still collect it from time to time, its such an awkward system that you forget there are other weapons and armorus you can pick up.. youll mpost likely stick to the first or second piece of gear you find in the game and stick to that all the way through, especially thanks to the grind heavy upgrading system here that require a ridiculous amount of recourses to upgrade weapons… where Valhalla steps forward though is you making choices that actually matter, your choices have consequences, you have different paths with different characters you can go down that don’t feel empty like odyssey did.. but back to the intial point, this is great if assassins creed were an rpg seres set in different time periods… but its not, its meant to be an experience of a story already told, not an unwritten story of your grandpa and you get to chose if he banged other Vikings or not… tell me if avor was gay or not, don’t let me chose, again.. commit to a character, tell me their story… this is not a solution to the story telling critques players have.. this is assassins creed, not dragon age.. tell me the story as it happened… but this is thebiggest assins creed game to date, though bigger isn’t always better, another first, this s the first time I gave up on collecting all the things in an assassins creed game, for one,, again the world felt boring pointless and hallow, even the side quests that were supposed to be the talk of the town, except for the mini game orlog, it had its hooks in me like gwent, and I love hunting down the zealots of the land, bringing my back to the original assassins creed.. but the colelctables here, the game just makes you work too hard to get, one too many are locked behind story progress – why even put it on the map then… and evry other one ios locked behing an environment puzzle.. I don’t mind this eveyr once in a while , but map cleaning in assassins creed is a form of meditation, if I have to figure out how to get to literally every chest in the world, it isn’t meditation anymore, it’s a puzzle game outside of the story, no thanks. Also traversal here is probably the worst in the series too, its wakward, plenty pof annoying deaths at the hands of climbing, The biggest disappointment overall is this games story, the worst ending in history if you can even call it an ending and the outside of the animus world features the least likably protagonist of all time, smoking doesn’t make you look like a badass, it makes you look inconsiderate of the people around you, but again, assassins creed Valhalla is a great game, the combat is fun, you can go down different paths to play the way you prefer, brute, ranged, stealth, or a mix of all 3…

    I had not played an AC since the pirates, and it has been good for me because I took this one with great enthusiasm. It's been 120 hours of long journey to complete it. The Viking setting is very successful and graphically looks spectacular and at 60fps rocky (sadly I found few bugs here and there but they release patches frequently to solve them). Highly recommended.

    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.
