    I loved the exploration and history. This is the first AC I got Platinium trophy.

    É um jogo com conteúdo massivo, muitas horas de gameplay, contudo há muita repetição nas estruturas das missões e até grinding, o roteiro não é muito profundo. Já a gameplay e a exploração são o foco principal do jogo.
    Mesmo com as suas 50 horas, aproximadamente, para completar a linha principal, o jogo tem pressa para contar a história. É até compreensível, mas tira um pouco da imersão.

    Mesmo com as suas 50 horas, aproximadamente, para completar a linha principal, o jogo tem pressa para contar a história. É até compreensível, mas tira um pouco da imersão. Histórias secundárias possuem missões simples e roteiro bem superficial.
    O ponto mais alto de Valhalla é a liberdade para completar as missões. Stealth, Incursão, limpar uma área sozinho com confronto direto, as possibilidades são diversas, e ainda por cima é possível mesclar as abordagens para cada desafio.
    A gameplay é boa, a adição do vigor confere mais desafio. Muita variedade de estilos de jogabilidade. Tipos variados de arco, machado e escudo. Adagas e lanças. Além da personalização de todos esses elementos. Só recomendaria a quem já é experiente na franquia jogar um nível acima do "normal", pois o jogo continua bem fácil como o Assassin's Creed anterior.
    Os desafios como coletar colecionáveis, repente, orlog e muitos outros são situações mais pessoais, vai do gosto de cada um. Particularmente gostei muito do orlog e do repente.
    As competições de bebida são bacanas, mas poderia haver mais possibilidades de desafio, mais combinações de botões a medida que o adversário é mais forte, por exemplo.
    O tutorial aparece praticamente no jogo todo, mas no início sempre chega atrasado. A maioria das coisas aprendi a fazer antes de ser mencionado.
    Os gráficos são bons, a Ubisoft conseguiu extrar bem esse quesito mesmo com a imensidão do mundo criado.    … Expand

    The game is very long. The story is entertaining. I don`t really like the combat; sometimes I feel like a living juggernaut, not a viking. Anyway, the game is enjoyable for most part

    Male Eivor is a joke of a character, a clown that act not like a Viking but...female Eivor was really insane; you will say "it's the same character only female", nope guys.
    The dub and the acting change it all, if you want a strong character trust me, choose female Eivor.
    The other characters are...nothing of memorable honestly.
    The dream parts are so bad done...it was a way to compete with Santa Monica's GOW but so much worse.
    Overall a good game but not worth so much money, if you want to purchase it maybe with discounts    … Expand

Combat is the one thing that i hate the most, it takes about 30 hits to kill one enemy, all you do is spam R1 and click square once every 10 hits, it's very unsatisfying and becomes boring after a few raids. The Raids... Raids are a train wreck, you run around spamming R1 next to every enemy around, there's not much threat really, well besides the broken fire effect. All around the enemy villages there are these stupid vases containing, i have no idea, some kind of explosive that can be triggered by hitting it with an axe. Once it explodes it takes half of your HP, and then puts a fire effect on you, the fire effect is just straight up terrible, it kills you in about 2 seconds and there is nothing you can do about it, you have to use your rations to survive it. The problem is, that the whole enemy village is burning, so once you use up your rations, you'll probably die by the next stupid explosive vase, or by burning to death trying to climb a building, you know, like Assassin's should. But of course, these aren't Assassin's Creed games anymore, Ubi just uses the name to get more more sales, the games itself have absolutely no connection to the story of Assassin's, besides Eivor having a 'hidden' blade of course, which i have no idea why would Assassin's give the blade to some random viking.
    That's about it, i'm incredibly disappointed, considering Assassin's Creed was once one of my favorite game series.    … Expand

Only to find a weak and rushed version of its previous game. A great story line and setting... but the amount of glitches and flaws in the game... both on the PS4 and then the migrated continuation on the PS5. Sadly, there are so many glitches, you can even win certain battles by luring your opponent into a glitchy part of the screen, so he is paralysed. Equally, you can disappear under the ground or stick your head through a rock. There’s so many of these glitches, that after a while... you feel you’ve been robbed by a quick and lazy update from the previous assassins game you played.

    The first hours are very good but after that you will repeat the same actions for tens of hours.
    Monotonous gameplay, trivial plot and silly equipment, don't buy this game if you played a previous chapter, this is the same game with a different setting.

At least this series didn't end on lowest note. Also there's other great older Ubisoft games to play like Watch Dogs 1, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Far Cry 3 and many more.

It's very obvious that more people actually like Valhalla way more than Odyssey. It's their best selling PC game of all time! i just feel Ubisoft fans are hiding in the shadows. They are too mature to argue on internet. They don't care about pointless drama. They just want to enjoy games. But i feel like sometimes Ubisoft fans should fight back stronger. Yeah it's cool you praise these things on reddit, but there's way more important sites and metacritic is one of them.

    No youtuber never mentions some random reddit "praise post" but they always show metacriti'c user score and these videos get 100 000's on views. This is manipulation 101. I know it's pathetic, because metacritic user score is most meaningless thing on this planet, but fact is, that these people are using it. It's just bunch of losers, usually some tasteless crackwatch-reddit users who hate on Ubisoft in general. They don't even play their games, they don't even care about their games. They are just pathetic, whiny losers and nothing else.

    When Far Cry 6 comes out in few month, i guarantee, bunch of Ubisoft haters (who will never buy Far Cry 6 btw) start giving it 0/10 scores and i feel like this time Ubisoft fans really, really need to fight back. It has gone too far. Cdproject red released most talentless game in 20 years and these people still try to praise it, while hating on Ubisoft's perfectly decent games that actually work. Like i said, these scores don't matter at all, they never did, never will, but i feel like Ubisoft fans (and there are millions) should for once actually try to fight back, even if it's just to annoy these haters. Even that would be worth it.

    It has nothing to do with company. Ubisoft has made lots of games i don't care about at all (Breakpoint, Division 2, For Honor, Crew 2) and if Valhalla would be one of these bad games i would ignore it as well, but that's not the case. Valhalla simply isn't bad game. It's just not and nothing, absolutely nothing will change that fact.    … Expand

If they just released this as "Valhalla" then I wouldn't have a problem with it but it being an Assassin's Creed game just is not right. Story is just boring and repeats itself over and over as well as the modern day story simply not making any sense. How the hell can Basim be a Norse god when he is an assassin from Jerusalem?

    Todella laaja maailma, pitkälle kehitettävä hahmo ja tarvikkeet, paljon tehtäviä. Tarina vähän hukkuu tehtävien määrän alle. Hitaasti etenevä peli, sopii hyvin ihmisille joilla on paljon aikaa. Maailma on yksityiskohtainen, mutta saisi olla hieman henkäsalpaavampiakin paikkoja, sillä pelissä on paljon saman tyylisiä vuoria ja laaksoja pitkälti koko ympäristö.

    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.
