If they actually think 6 hours long spider-man miles morales is worth that nomination more, then that's just pathetic. I'm not saying spider-man don't deserve it, but leaving Valhalla completely out, while giving some short games spot JUST BECAUSE they are console exclusives is pathteic. Absolutelty pathetic. I'm not saying AC Valhalla needs to get "game of the year" nomination, i'm saying, give it ANY nomination. Music, art direction, best action / adventure game, ANYTHING. It doesn't even have to win, just nomination would be enough. I have been gaming over 10 years, it's my biggest passion and hobby and if this game gets no nominations i might just give up gaming. Literally any joy i feel from gaming would be gone and it would be gone because i would know that i'm part of community that doesn't understand greatness. But hopefully it gets some nominations, i'm really hopeful, because i have some faith left in this community, not much, but still, some.… Expand

    O jogo inovou várias mecânicas com relação ao combate, assentamento e etc. Foi feito para agradar os antigos e novos jogadores da franquia. O que estraga a experiência é os bugs nas missõesv ou o risco de perder o save

    Story is surprisingly good, it almost sucks to bring it out like some BIG thing, but Odyssey's story was too "all over the place" and boring, at least to me. It had way too much pointless filler. Valhalla actually innovates a lot and feels more like Black Flag and Unity in 2020.

    How can anyone give this amazing, beautiful Assassin's Creed game 0/10?? It's one of the best in the series, so whoever gives it 0 is clearly not a fan and never has been. I bet these people are just envy that this game gets attention. How tasteless and pathetic someone needs to be to give some good game 0/10 just because they are envy? Well now i'm angry, here's my 10/10, take that.

Additionally when you put your weapons away onto your back or into the weird Loopy things all of your weapons shrink dramatically in size. which is very immersion breaking. once you see it. you cannot unsee it. a War Hammer goes from being the Size of a Paper weight to the Size of Mjlonir from the Avengers movie in a Instant. this is true for all weapons and Swords in the game. the Boat Adventures seem neat and they feature the ability for you to enable singing, or to have a crewmate tell a tale. unfortunately anytime they spot a Bandit Camp, or you go under a Bridge or see a Monestary they stop singing until you pass. and this is frequent. All in all going into this Title i said that this is Ubisofts last chance from me. i don't understand how a dev can fall so far. from creating something truly groundbreaking with the story of Altair to the lazy development shown in any of their recent titles which are blatant cash grabs featuring no actual passion like we saw in 2007. this will be the last time i spend a Dollar on a Ubisoft Title.… Expand

    It would be a very beautiful and satisfying experience if I didn't have to keep resetting the game because it froze or glitched on me. A MAJOR step down performance-wise from Odyssey. I do not recommend this game AT ALL unless the glitches and too-constant game freezes can be fixed.

Why then, do i dislike it so much more? It looks just as pretty, it plays much the same, but it is also such a chore.

    Jarring cutscene transitions, annoyingly timed check-points, annoyingly placed fast-travel points, weird selection of NPC accents (an American in Viking age England?), NPC merchants that won't stop flailing their arms, and so many little, sometimes not so little, bugs.

    Worse, is the way the narrative is split across so many clearly defined zones, meaning you always know your progress, but more specifically, how much progress is left to do. It also makes the story itself easy to forget. I literally had to google whether i'd finished the story. I wasn't sure. I was so lost with what i had even been working towards. It's incredibly bizarre how moral the protagonist is, and yet we spend so much time burning down villages. Could we have not leaned into the character's dark side at all, or would that be asking too much of the writers?

    The combat is not good enough considering how much of it there is. You can just button mash most of the time. The entire game is very, very easy. It was only when i was severely under-levelled and at the end of the game, that i found any sort of challenge. This suggests a balancing issue as well. The RPG mechanics are more pointless than ever, with you even able to re-spec your skills at any time. That's not an RPG. That is just giving me busy-work in the menu's after every mission.

    To conclude, there is way too much of everything in Valhalla. It means a lot of repetition, and most significantly, a lack of quality.

    I like Orlog though, which is a side activity in the game, and the world events. Everything else, however, is devoid of any creativity.    … Expand

    Afin bien entendu de vous faire craquer vis-à-vis des microtransactions prédatrices comme celle -à grand succès, n’en doutons pas- du doublage d’expérience (pour environ 10 euros !) qui transforme de facto le rythme et la progression du jeu, le rendant deux fois moins lourdingue même s’il reste… chiant quand même ! sauf qu’on y passera au bas mot deux fois moins de temps. Potentiellement en tout cas.

    En effet, tout est fait là-dedans comme dans les deux précédents AssCreed, à savoir vous faire « jouer » comme un véritable abruti jusqu’à en devenir totalement abruti au sens le plus littéral du terme. Et pourtant le farmage-grindage ici est semble-t-il allégé… mais en apparence seulement, vu la quantité de merdes à ramasser, collecter (dans ces putains de forts ou maisons verrouillées) afin d’être au niveau requis pour la prochaine opération de la campagne principale ! dire qu’il faut même du titane (sic !) au Moyen Age pour améliorer ses armes et armures, ça troue le cul… et les quantités (habituelles) astronomiques de fer et de cuir bien entendu.

    De toute façon, l’espèce d’histoire racontée ici montre assez vite son vrai visage, celle des stagiaires qui s’y sont attelé… c’est tellement bidon, mal fait, ridicule qu’on arrive évidemment jamais à y croire… comme par exemple mettre sur le trône un couillon bisounours à couilles molles ou aider deux folles… Tout est constamment écrit ici sous le joug d’un agenda très actuel du multi-culturalisme et de la justice sociale à deux balles… chez les Vikings !

    Ainsi, parmi les Vikings ou parmi les Anglais, on croise quantité de gens à la couleur de peau plus ou moins foncée ou basanée comme si tout le jeu se déroulait au Moyen-Orient et au Maghreb, c’est complètement dingue… et aberrant !

    Quant à l’héroïne viking, elle ressemble à une camionneuse lesbienne qui a trop forcé sur les stéroïdes : bonjour les dégâts et bonjour la sale gueule. C’est le cas de toutes les gonzesses qu’on peut croiser ou côtoyer dans le jeu : aussi sexys, aussi féminines que du fil barbelé, quel putain de foutage de gueule, chez Ubichiottes !

    De toute manière, l’infiltration est devenue le parent pauvre et même si une option permet (enfin) d’assassiner n’importe quelle cible (mais certainement pas les boss !) l’arrangement de l’environnement et l’IA privilégient toujours les grosses bastons de bourrins. En tant que jeu à Vikings (afghano-pakistanais) pourquoi pas mais ne l’appelez pas « Assassin’s Creed » dans ce cas ! même l’arbre de compétences est désormais un foutoir où l’on a tout balancé n’importe où et n’importe comment…

    Quoi qu’il en soit, la répétition qu’on rince et qu’on répète ad nauseam rend complètement fou et abruti en même temps : on se rend compte éventuellement qu’on perd son temps comme un pauvre con… au bout d’un certain temps. Personnellement, après 43h, un déclic s’est produit : pourquoi je perds mon temps sur cette grosse merde en fait ? oui, pourquoi ? aucune raison valable, non aucune ! alors, il est grand temps de tirer la chasse sur cette énième chiasse de chez Ubichiottes !    … Expand

    The game is garbage and boring. The whole Nordic thing just doesn't fit in with assassins creed it just doesn't. This seems like a witcher 3 wannabe and it falls flat on its flat face. The game performance also takes a nose dive with screen tearing and frame rate issues. Trading it in and buying something else not my type of game.

    Analise vinda de um fã de longa data da franquia que jogou todos os jogos , gostou do Origins e odiou o Odyssey , meu AC favorito é o Brotherhood.

    O jogo é bem medíocre , se vc espera um AC raiz vc vai se desapontar , OS ASSASSINOS NÃO SÃO O FOCO DO JOGO , eles estão no jogo porém a participação deles é minima na campanha.

    o combate do jogo é um pecado , tudo é muito duro as animações são uma merda os comandos não respondem direito , é uma carniça sem sombra de duvida o pior combate dos 3 AC RPG.

    Furtividade , é bom eles capricharam nessa área , porém é necessário criar uma build furtiva se não vc vai sofrer.

    Enredo , tem seus altos e baixos , as escolhas afetam pouca coisa na campanha , e é muito comprido , (sim eu estou reclamando que a campanha é muito comprida) tem muita encheção de linguiça , parece que a campanha não se move , demorei umas 50 horas pra terminar a campanha dessas 50 , 30 são só encheção de linguiça que poderia ter sido cortado do jogo.

    Loot , sem sombra de duvida é a melhor parte do game , o jogo tem pouco loot , porém tudo é muito único , nessa área o jogo sacrifica quantidade por qualidade , algo que eu queria que a ubi fisese para outras partes do game.

    gráficos , o mundo aberto é lindo , na verdade a unica coisa que incomoda no jogo é a modelagem dos personagens , NPCs e personagens importantes , as expressões faciais são horríveis , de resto o gráfico é muito bom.

    Upar , a arvore de habilidades é uma enganação , é extensa de mais , e a maioria das coisas que vc desbloqueia nela são inúteis exemplo "1% a a mais de dano com arcos" é muito pouco e não deveria tá ali enchendo linguiça.

    o jogo é bem medíocre , eu esperava bem mais.

    6/10

    espera a versão ultimate do jogo estar com 75% de desconto daí tu pega

    Bonus , a monetização do jogo é um lixo , o game já custa 250 pau daí vai ter sesson pass de 100 pau , e o jogo ainda tem a audácia de enfiar microtransação de itens não cosméticos , a ubi devia ter vergonha.    … Expand

    It's extremely subpar for a AAA game in 2020. Not only is the whole story one boring quest after the other (go here and fight, then fight over there). But everything around the story is boring too. But the textures, models, and animations all make the game look early access. The game needed 6 more months at least to be finished.

There is no new mechanics from the previous game i played, it feels as if it was the same game, same type of missions, and nothing really new was added. i don't want to sound negative, but because of my experience with AC, it kinda makes it feel like the RPG FIFA. It changes very little, the story is not great. Most of the missions you do just fill like filler, and it gets super long. I didn't get invested in my character, i don't care for his struggles. The only reason why i kept going was just to finish it because i was bored. At the beginning, (first 20 hours) i would try and investigate all of the world. Then i realized it was the same process, which never really gave e and advantage. It was just more loot (useless, and didn't make a huge difference). The story just didn't grab me, the side characters never developed. There was no growth, no pain, no struggle to keep you going wondering what would happen next. This will probably be my last AC purchase. The story wasn't good, the mechanics of the game are just a wash up. Nothing significantly new or exciting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you are looking for a game with a structured story line that allows you to play the part of a clear protagonist then look past AC (Assassins Creed) Valhalla as you will not find that here.

    If you like the idea of your primary requirement for progression being to raid, kill and pillage innocent villages and monasteries and burn down the cottages of suffering villagers then by all means this is the game for you! In addition you also get the choice to have an affair with the wife of your best friend and adopted brother. Super! It really makes you feel like a genuine hero... =-/

    I gave up hope on the AC series after AC Unity. I tried to give the series a chance again with Odyssey and Origins but was unimpressed. That being said, I liked the story of both WAY better then Valhalla.
    Despite my recent negative experiences, after seeing awesome commercials and reading rave reviews I had a renewed hope for the series and decided to get the game. After 50+ hours playing the game waiting for things to make sense, provide a sense of purpose and for the story-line to evolve into one where the main character Eivor becomes a good guy I came to the realization that was never going to happen and here I am writing this review.

    The final straw for me was when a Viking comrade (Ivarr) tricks you (Eivor) into attacking an opposing king (After a Peace deal was made) by framing that opposing king for the murder of a mutual friend . Ok, whatever, I can deal with that you gotta come up with creative reasons to fight big battles... After all, its just a game. The part that absolutely disgusted me is after the battle you are forced to standby while Ivarr tortures the King (who had previously bested Ivarr in a battle and let Ivarr go instead of killing him). No matter what you decide for in game choices (1 - Let the king go, 2 - Let him die from his wounds, 3 - Ok Ivarr do w/e it is you want to do to the king) the game ends up with you watching Ivarr torture a guy for something he didn't do. Furthermore, Ivarr is the one who framed the king and actually killed the mutual friend. If your like me your wondering what the point of in game choices are if they don't effect the outcome. Clearly the choices are superficial. That's lame...

    Final note - If you may find yourself offended by consistent smears, comments and attacks on the christian faith throughout this game I would advise you to avoid AC Valhalla.

    Thank you UBISoft for taking a fantastic series that began with Altaïr and Ezio dragging it through the mud while simultaneously riding its coat tails.

    The quality Story, Cinematic Cut Scenes, Fighting Style, Stealth requirement and Character/Plot development I came to know and love in the AC series seen in Altaïr and Ezio's time is gone and clearly it is not coming back.    … Expand

Now you have to face each object precisely and laboriously, making any loot a long and boring ajustment of camera.

    The ability tree is simply impossible to read so I felt I had no choice but to let fate decide each upgrade.

    You can define point of interest on the map but you can never see them on foot and you have to call your 'eagle' to maybe see them, that is if you are looking in the direction. It's basically impossible to clearly see where you need to go when on foot.
    The 'eagle' has completely changed regarding survey: it's now useless when infiltrating a camp since it marks no enemies.

    Origins and Odyssey were also about history. It was really interesting to discover Egypt and Greece. Here, you are no longer encourage to explore to discover history: at most, you'll find a roman mask with no more explanation, just a stuff to collect, like in FarCry3, 10 years ago.

    Last but not least: remember those towers to discover new activities? Yes, well they're back. So, get ready to climb tons of towers and mountains to reveal 'activities' and 'treasures'.

    It felt obvious that the team watched too much Vikings TV Series and just wanted to play Ragnar Lothbrok.

    Everything feels heavy, laborious and clunky.

    It saddens me to know that Valhalla was a commercial success because I fear that we'll get more of Valhalla's dated gameplay and much less of Origins' fresh restart...    … Expand

    Cairn stones is one of the reasons I really hate this game, and one of the reasons this will be my last Ubisoft game. And the climbing is another one and the animus anomaly events...

    **BEWARE THE FAKE GOOD REVIEWS AND "HELPFUL REVIEWS"**

    Out of the RPG style trilogy (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla), this one is far and away the worst, in fact this might be the worst AC game ever. I doubt this will change.

    Cons:
    - Feels more dead than any other AC game. The few NPCs that are there are even less lively than Skyrim NPCs, and this game is a decade newer.
    - The acting so far is worse than any AC game in recent memory. Eivor's actress is not good, none of the side characters are good (at least not yet).
    - The open world so far feels extremely hollow, boring, and repetitive. The side quests are so out of the way and are all over the place on difficulty. Despite being the newest game, this has visuals that are worse than Origins, Odyssey, and Unity.
    - The entire health system. First of all, the fact your health doesn't regenerate when out of combat AT ALL is the most stupid design decision I've ever seen in a video game. You need to constantly be looking for food, looting bushes for berries (good luck figuring out which ones have them). You can also only hold a few rations at a time, which are effectively your health packs.
    - The game is extremely buggy.
    - The control layout. If you played AC Origins and Odyssey and used the alternate controls, well I hate to inform you that they are not in Valhalla. They have a feature called "customize controls" but the problem is you can't customize anything without breaking the controls. I tried every variation I could to get a Unity/Syndicate/Origins/Odyssey layout, but each one resulted in other functions becoming unusable (assassinations, interacting, crouching). It's just awful and these controls are completely foreign to any RPG I've ever played. RB/RT to attack? RB being the light attack? X to roll? Whose idea was this???
    - The bird is completely useless. It can't spot anything at all.
    - It's often too dark in caves and it's a huge pain to equip torches in this game. What was wrong with Origins and Odyssey torches Ubisoft??? This is awful.
    - The skill tree is ridiculous to navigate through. It takes up far too room, is not clear enough, the icons are too small without zooming in, and everything is too far apart and spread out for no reason. It's also impossible to tell why they are divided this way.
    - The combat is just ridiculous. It's too choppy to rely on parrying and dodging doesn't always work, sometimes it'll dodge twice right away. Worst part is dodging consumes stamina.
    - Extremely repetitive combat. The archery combat combines the worst of Odyssey and worst of Origins to make what is the most annoying ranged combat in a game. Like Origins it has the different arrow types (a good thing), but unlike Origins you can only have one bow on you at a time.
    - The game has been out several months and there are still constant Reddit threads of bugs. Ubisoft will not address the button mapping issues.
    - The parkour is the worst parkour I've seen yet. It's way worse than Unity which had issues. The character is so clunky to use and constantly changes directions too easily. Want to climb up? Too bad you're going sideways! But just like the previous two AC games, the old frustrations of climbing are also still there.

    If you care about this series, just watch a Let's Play on YouTube. This is not worth your money OR your time. I can't think of any good to put into this. It's historically inaccurate. This is all coming from someone who hated Origins and Odyssey at first and then gave them a chance and wound up liking them a fair bit (despite their flaws). I hope this story gets better because right now I'm not sold on anything.    … Expand

    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…

    12 hours into the game and all saves became corrupted except a single cloud save at 5 hours. 7 hours of gameplay lost.

    Graphics are beautiful. Sometimes the boat looks a bit funky while sailing, like it's not really in the water. Camera angles can be a bit rough during combat, sometimes pulls to far back in one on one fights. Still has all the control issues that the previous titles in    12 hours into the game and all saves became corrupted except a single cloud save at 5 hours. 7 hours of gameplay lost.

    Pretty good, but some weird situations with many NPC's and enemies, and the part of the story that directly links to the animus throws me out of the experience often. I love the world, gear, music and the way Eivor (male) are put together.

    It's a decent-ish game; but unfortunately it is really getting to the point where if you've played one Assassin's Creed game, you've played them all. Ubisoft really needs to come up with some new, innovative, fresh ideas to spice up the franchise. I love the IP, but it's starting to feel like the games are nothing more than reskins of the previous title.

    IMO the worst AC game yet. Gorgeous visuals and that's about it. A looooooooong, boring, bloated grind otherwise. Too many glitches, bugs and general inability to complete missions/world events to give this more than a 2 out of 10. This is like a beta version for testing purposes. Microtransaction heaven if you want the best gear which is otherwise unavailable through gameplay. Shameful.

    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.
