    Достаточно среднее длс которое вообще не имеет отношение к вселенной АС.
    Длс имеет как плюсы, так и минусы. Из достоинств я бы выделил неплохую центральную историю часов на 8, пару новых навыков, красивую Ирландию. Из недостатков - отсутствие сайд заданий, огромное количество собирательства, отсутствие связи со вселенной. Моя оценка 7 баллов    RUS

    I haven't advanced too far in the story. However, I've completed all side quests, fully upgraded all trade posts, and collected all artifacts and treasures (other than one treasure that appears to be story locked in a fort). As of right now, it doesn't appear to be any better or worse than the main game. The landscape doesn't feel any different. The gameplay doesn't feel any moreI haven't advanced too far in the story.

As of right now, it doesn't appear to be any better or worse than the main game. The landscape doesn't feel any different. The gameplay doesn't feel any more polished. The side quests are a bit lazy because they are all combat or puzzle mini-games, no side stories (I read a review from another website where they claimed to have put 15 hours into the DLC and were rejoicing about no cairn stone puzzles... I played maybe 45 minutes before hitting the first of a few in the DLC). There are still bugs galore (at one point, a character that I needed to speak with was chest deep in the ground and another quest required a reload in order to complete because it kept saying I needed to be anonymous in order to finish the quest).

    All-in-all, it's definitely not an improvement to the main game but it's also not anything that hurts the main game. Whereas the DLC for Origins and Odyssey delved into the Egytian and Greek mythology and fantastical worlds, all while continuing the story of the main characters (Shadows of the Scarab in Origins and Lost but Not Forgotten in Odyssey), Wrath of the Druids feels like more of the same with Valhalla. If you liked the game and want a reason to spend more time playing, this DLC is for you. If you weren't too impressed with the game and there are other things you're interested in (ME Legendary or RE Village), then you can probably wait for this DLC to get improved (bug fixes) or go on sale.    … Expand

    Wrath of the Druids is a typical DLC from Ubisoft. A huge number of missed opportunities and mediocre implementation. DLC is completely memorable. Everything is made according to a template, a typical pass-through product of Ubisoft, which does not affect the lore of the Assassin's Creed series in any way. Wrath of the Druids can be missed, there is nothing to catch a regular player here

    Valhalla had many flaws typical for Ubisoft’s titles, but it was easy for me to turn a blind eye to them, because the game was simply enjoyable. Wrath of the Druids lacks that quality. Ireland is pretty but lifeless and artificial, the story is bland, few new features fail to evolve the gameplay, and the whole thing is just more of the same. [08/2021, p.37]

    I'm a massive fan of Assassin’s Creed and have found myself loving the latest games more than any which went before them. That is equally true of Valhalla yet, whilst the Wrath of the Druids is a strong addition to the library, it does at times feel more like a side quest rather than something capable of pushing forward the overall Valhalla narrative.

    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids is an incredible DLC and brings an enormous amount of new items, abilities, cosmetic items, and locations for players to discover. Ireland makes for the perfect location to expand the Valhalla experience, keeping true to the region’s history, culture and beliefs. I’m especially fond of how much replay value has been encapsulated into Northern Ireland thanks to an endless supply of challenging side quests. In addition to the new raid locations, “Wrath of the Druids” takes the nice elements of the main game such as stealth and poison and brings out their full potential in amazing ways. Wrath of the Druids has pushed the bar even higher for the Assassin’s Creed series and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who has Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla.
