    Aucun plaisir de conquérir les boss, aucun, c’est ennuyeux, rien de nouveau, rien de surprenant, rien de beau et rien d’exceptionnel.

    Honnêtement, je n’ai pris aucun plaisir d’affronter les soit disant animaux légendaires, ni les boss de l’histoire principale.

    I spent nearly 200 hours in this game and absolutely loved it. Lots to do main story, side quests, and plenty of secrets. This game got me back in the AC series. Prepare to have to put in 80 to 100 hours just to complete the main quest line.

    Played on xbox one x, runs well looks great. Typical ac game mechanics and gameplay but I enjoy that. Good progression, story and many hours worth of fun. Rexommwnded

    - The controls are clunky and random, with no focus able to be had by simply letting your mouse point the way. You must manually focus each target, otherwise you will attack ANYTHING on the field. You might be looking at one target, but once you attack, you will turn around 180 degrees and start swinging at a target behind you that is nowhere near your attack radius.
    Similarly while parkouring, your character may jump on to objects with no rhyme or reason and refuse to get off for a while, compromising a flight from a swarm of enemies in some cases.
    - The game released in a terrible state with memory leaks being (yet again) a huge culprit of crashing and freezing at regular intervals for many players.
    - The quest system is a bloated mess, with no focus to the world and random quests thrown in for xp fodder that have no bearing or impact on the narrative. Many in fact have some provoking decisions to be made that mean little in the scheme of the game.
    In fact, some world quests will allow you to complete them - spoiling story quests that are coming further along in the main questline.

    I wish I could in good conscience recommend this game, but in the state it's in I can't even recommend it for leisurely play until the freezing and crashing and memory leaks are addressed and taken care of.    … Expand

    Is a excellent game, really appreciate this saga, but it's not perfect, it has a serious downgrade in relation to Odyssey, has less items, less functions, less armours, less weapons, is too simplified i think simplified so much

    If you like any of the previous titles, you'll like Valhalla too. The game looks very nice, and the music is very good too.
    But, they really should have edited themselves with this game: they really threw anything but the kitchen sink in this game. That diluted the experience for me. I also wasn't totally sold on the ending.

    Great Assassins Creed game that suffers from frequent game crashing bugs...
    First lwt me start by saying currently I have 40+ hours in game, this is not a review by someone who has completed the game nor by someone who only has 2-3 hours.

The combat system has been changed a lot and it takes some getting used to but It is fun and rewarding. You don't pick up thousands of weapons and armor pieces like in Odyssey anymore. The game opts for a few pieces that it wants you to upgrade. The game is also visually stunning, making full use of HDR and beautiful landscapes.    … Expand

    This game is amazing, I enjoy the open world of this game, it’s beautiful and full of mysteries that need explored. Lost to do, lots to explore, lots of personality packed into one game. Lots of game time and lots of stuff to do.
    You can easily spend 70 hours in this game. It’s getting a 9 from me due to bugs that haven’t been fixed just yet, remember to save often

    Hidden Ones don't even seem like bad guys, you're just killing them to overtake their homeland.
    The ship is annoying as hell. Turn left it goes right. Open sail and sail to destination, it goes opposite way. World events are annoying side quests but much much worse.
    Runes, bad leveling system.
    Abilities, not fun like Odyssey. World pretty on top of a mountain, bugle when u get close to a tree. Bugs, bugs, bugs. Been stuck inside my horses ass, no joke.
    Been stuck in a tree. All parts of England that could be unique and explored like Sherwood forest or Stonehenge are bland and nothing of interest happens. Where are past famous people? This list could go on and on. I scored it way way too early on PS4 and gave a 7. This at max deserves a 3.5, MAYBE. The more I play, the more I hate it. At 106 hours now and still trying to finish this game. I have never played a game I spoke out loud how much I hate it. Just went to open a chest. It was under water. Dove in and said, I bet I need a jey. I need a key. Go to climb a tree where key is. Get stuck INSIDE TREE! Now Ubisoft has so many outfits for sale with real money and a blaster for XP and selling maps and selling this and that. Done with AC FOREVER NOW!    … Expand

    Great game to spend time in November until Cyberpunk comes in December. Valhalla is graphically amazing. I have heard some people don't like combat that much, i personally like it, not sure what's the problem. Overall very good AC game, might be Ubisoft's best open world ever.

    AC Valhalla has very big map and it's very long game, so basically if you don't like long game, there's no point trying this one. But if you do like long games, it's very solid. One of the better AC games imo.

    Classic AC elements like hidden blade / Hood are back and i'm very happy for that, finally.
    Story is from average to actually pretty good. Depends on what quests you do and what choices you make. There's lots of different weapons and hoods.

    Digging this game's tone way more than i did with Odyssey. Odyssey was little bit too similar in all places. Everything was bright and colorful. Valhalla is very different in that regard. It has so many different areas and layers, nothing feels same. Even Norway and England look very different, but England in itself has very different looking areas. Game is good so far.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla isn't a light, fast and pragmatic Viking ship. It's a Titanic, magnificent, massive, and majestic, made to lead players through a 9th-century epic. With enough content to keep players busy for hours and hours, it's not threatened by any iceberg but rather by the weight of its own size. For the most dedicated, this can be a treat, but for many others, it could be a game they'll leave unfinished, living forever in the backlog.

    Even with its technical shortcomings on last-generation hardware, it is hard to not call Assassin’s Creed Valhalla an amazing open-world RPG. It’s obvious that Ubisoft did its homework and learned from Origins and Odyssey. Valhalla’s story is one of the best not only in the franchise but in the open-world RPG genre. The world is vast but not laden with empty, pointless space. Combat is addicting, character customization is the best the franchise has ever seen, and the welcome return of composer Jesper Kyd makes for one of last year’s most immersive and satisfying experiences.

    Assassin’s Creed brings beautiful English countryside to the masses whilst fixing a lot of the series’ recent missteps. Some genuinely fun and surprising moments with some great writing make for a fun time.
