    Assassins Creed Valhalla

    One step forward, 2 steps back.
    Assassins Creed is my favrotie series of all time, so im harder on this series than I am with any other game.. and while Valhalla is a great game and my score will reflect that, as an assassins creed game, assassins creed Valhalla isa complete disappointment.
    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…

    Metacritic has always been place where haters come, that just how it is. But this time they have huge problem if they wanna hate AC Valhalla. I'll put it simply. It's very good game. Hating good game with your fake lies is not easy, so yeah. Good game, would recommend.

    There's no question about it that AC: Valhalla is one of the better games of 2020. All this hate is so weird to me. Like don't you have anything else to do with your life than hating video games you don't like? Specially good ones like AC Valhalla. I would understand if you hate scam games like Cyberpunk 2077, but hate for AC Valhalla makes zero sense.

It's very well done re-creation of England and Norway in 800's and it's not copy + they fixed all the problems that Odyssey had, now you have hood that you can take off at any moment, hidden blade is back, parkour is back and there's no xp grind.

    Ubisoft has surely improved the AC series - Origins, Oddesey and now Valhalla. I found this viking saga most compelling and the open world of England and Norway looks stunning on Stadia. 25 hrs into the game and I can only say this is a solid open world game.

I hope i'm wrong tho, but that's exactly what those people on youtube want. They are minority, but they are constantly annoying Ubisoft that "new games bad, old games good" and i'm afraid Ubisoft might actually listen them. Of course i hope i'm wrong, but if not, i refuse to support or play next AC game. Basically if next game will be like ac 1 or revelations, to me this series is dead. If it's like black flag or even Unity, i would be fine with it, because Unity already had tons of customization options and rpg elements, it also had better parkour than any of the older games. So that would be fine.… 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 in depth regarding the matter.

    Interesting game. Cities feel full of life and danger. Large landscapes give you feeling of absolute freedom. Combat is more brutal than ever. Some missions are fun, some are boring, but it's like that with every game ever. Overall impressions are very positive, can't wait for DLC's.

    Until Resident Evil Village comes out, it's literally only 2020 game that is still worth playing. Doom Eternal got old very fast and i'm not gonna play Tony Hawk 1+2 Remake 24/7. Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the biggest fails of all time. Resident Evil 3 Remake was too short and boring. Last of Us 2 is one of the worst games ever made. Watch Dogs Legion is pathetic. Final Fantasy VII Remake has no reason to play again, even tho good game. Ghost of Tsushima has one of the worst camera angles in any video game ever, so i just can't play it, but it doesn't seem very interesting anyway. Marvel's Avengers is a joke. Mafia 1 Remake had good story, but has one of the emptiest open-worlds ever, there's absolutely nothing to do or explore.

    So what's left? Literally only one game - Assassin's Creed Valhalla! It's not best game ever / not best AC game, but at least it's fun enough and DLC's almost look more interesting than main game, so i'm hyped. There's obviously always option to play older games (i do that literally all the time), but this review is for people who want something new.    … Expand

    One of the stronger AC titles post-Desmond era, but still plagued with issues that Ubisoft can't seem to resolve. It also has a better real-world story than most of the recent games in my opinion, which was a refreshing change of pace. But if you haven't been paying enough attention in previous titles you'll be lost on what's happening.

    The game itself is wonderful. The graphics, the representation of the Vikings, and the overall story is great to play through as you go. Definitely less of a focal point on the Assassin's this time around, but you make due as you use your dual axes to just slice through enemies in bloody glory. Recent patches have made many QoL improvements to the game that had me boost the score higher than it would have been.

    While the world is glorious, and expansive there is too much dead space as well as far too many collectibles. For players who pride themselves on 100% completion you will have moments of dread as you drudge through the main game, and Wrath of the Druids for these items. Fishing is also an item that feels like it was thrown in for no reason but then they put an achievement against it. This has been resolved slightly with patches the experience is not pleasant.

    All in all, I'd give this a recommendation with the caveat that you enjoy the story and fights more than attempting to do it all.    … Expand

As for this version though, it’s definitely not the prettiest due to the agonizing pain of 30fps in a game like this during this gen of gaming. Back then it was ok due to limitations of what we had (hardware/dev kits) and that ubi believed it created a cinematic effect. Thing is, once you play in 60fps via local or Luna/Gfn/Cloud pc (maximum settings), it’s hard to push through. I would highly recommend playing elsewhere if given the opportunity or access if you’re a serious gamer. If you’re a casual, then I guess this will be ok for you. Also a thing to keep in mind is that detail settings on stadia seem to be at low - med in order to reach stable frames which isn’t a good sign when they bragged on stage about having 10.7 teraflops of power. Hopefully they’ll improve to be on the same level as everyone else. Otherwise, Ubisoft is doing an amazing job giving content to the platform.… Expand

    Save transfers make this a great version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to supplement the PC or console release. However, the missing accessibility options makes it difficult to recommend to everyone.
