    Game-breaking bugs make this game literally unplayable. I have nothing else to say.

    Don’t waste your money. AC doesn’t know what they are anymore. It’s a lackluster game half put together with cringe dialogue

    Nice game, I reach 100 hour game and 2 times lost the saving , in total I wasted 8 h gameplay to then lose the save, because this game is bugged. Many people reported this bug. My advice... play it on ps5, or don’t play it at all.

    XP boost in store magically appeared in store month after original reviews. Enemies scaling implemented in latest patch, that cannot be turned of, makes leveling up pointless.

I even looked past most of the garbage side quest bugs, the phanton crashes, the teleportation into the middle of the map for no reason because I enjoyed the game play and the story.

If you complete a pledge and don't immediately go back to talk to Randvi that area will always show on the map as incomplete. Apparently the devs have known about this for weeks but have done absolute nothing to fix it. I had roughly 80 hours in the game and the suggestion of going back to a save before that is insane. Yes let me crap 30 hours down the drain because you are too lazy to fix this. However what do you know they keep updating the Valhalla store so you can spend more money to make look cool in a game you can't freaking complete.

    Great job of dumping all of your customer base with this release. Should have learned from CDPR and at least released a game without game breaking glitches, and a support team that doesn't give a **** enough to respond with real answers.    … Expand

    On aurait pu croire qu’après les deux précédents AC (les décevants Origins et Odyssey) Ubisoft aurait mis de l’eau dans son vin mais il n’en est rien ou si peu…! on change de décor(s) certes mais le grind et le farming demeurent, inexpugnables dans ce Valhalla ! soit en mauvais franglais le farmage de crevard à la coréenne et le limage jusqu’à l’intox de choses répétitives à répétition !On aurait pu croire qu’après les deux précédents AC (les décevants Origins et Odyssey) Ubisoft aurait mis de l’eau dans son vin mais il n’en est rien ou si peu…! on change de décor(s) certes mais le grind et le farming demeurent, inexpugnables dans ce Valhalla ! soit en mauvais franglais le farmage de crevard à la coréenne et le limage jusqu’à l’intox de choses répétitives à répétition ! une putain de mine pour stakhanovistes ludo-décérébrés !

    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 quand même un peu 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, de la justice sociale à deux balles et d’un agenda woke très chargé… 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, ils ont vraiment un problème avec la représentation des femmes chez Ubisoft !

    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 est souvent bien pénible… Cependant, une grosse mise-à-jour près d’un an après la sortie a rajouté un niveau de difficulté (plus facile) et surtout la possibilité de tout personnaliser, aussi bien l’infiltration que les combats. En se plongeant dans les nouvelles options, on peut régler l’expérience à sa guise, ce qui rend le jeu beaucoup moins farmeux par défaut. Et infiniment plus facile et agréable : on devient alors une machine à tuer, un vrai Viking enfin ! On peut désactiver aussi le ‘level scaling’ par exemple, ce qui là encore, rend le jeu beaucoup moins désagréable.

    Mais la chasse perpétuelle aux coffres (verrouillés les trois quarts du temps), aux clés, à tous ces machins planqués, les évènements (des mini-quêtes ridicules) ou l’espèce d’histoire vraiment très mauvaise (et la fin est encore pire) continuent de plomber le jeu durablement, hélas.    … Expand

The mysteries scatted throughout the lands, some as simple as making a kid cry or not, to following a dude who likes to eat wildlife he should not. ( I will say no more as not to spoil anything) These mysteries as they call them replace the good ol' go find a rind and kill the guy. They flow like butter in an organic way across the regions, no more 2598.761 miters for a rabbit tale. The combat is the best in the entire series, improved stamina gauge, a long boatload of abilities, massive passive skill tree. Last my personal favorite dismemberment and finishers! I would go with playing on explorer mode for a complete immersive adventure. Plus did I mention Norse mythology. To end stunning world, impactful combat, tons of unlockable abilities, massive passive skill tree and most important organic side quest/mysteries with a 93.3786% chance not to stink like fetch/kill.… Expand

    This game is absurdly buggy. Ubisoft should be ashamed of themselves for releasing it like this. Most of the side quests/"world events" don't work, the npcs and objects won't interact with you. There are copious softlocks in the main storyline. Disgraceful. I wouldn't buy this if I'd known it was so broken. I have to flag Ubisoft titles in the future now for quality checks.

    When there's a storyline between these collectathon sessions there's something moderately enjoyable here. But after murdering a entire town in back to back combat on medium difficulty and barely breaking a sweat...Just no.

    The entire time I played this game at no point did I feel like I was experiencing anything fun. While there's some beautiful scenery and some barely interesting plot points nothing drew me in. I didn't much enjoy Odyssey for its also massive amount of optional busy work. But at least it's combat loop was sort of entertaining. But I abandoned that game after 20 hours. Valhalla reached that same point before I just got too bored. When while I'm playing I'm anxiously and happily considering work tomorrow rather then getting dragged into what's supposed to be a fantastic game world I just don't know. This is the last Assassin's Creed I'll ever buy.

    As a side note I eventually ended up with the Xbox One version of this game. The PC version ran so poorly on a 2080 Super and a minus one from current gen i7 that if you're thinking of buying this on PC don't.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On a 3700X and a 2080 super this is a clunky mess, combat is as awful as its ever been, weightless but slow, sometimes weapons just go through people & nothing happens. Parrying is the same thing. You can land a successful parry, sound is there, its just ignored, ohh... they added some dismemberment and gore, a dressed up turd is still a turd. Runs like crap on PC, during a raid, you'll find NPCs just standing around doing nothing. The world doesn't look bad, but not great, its not an amazing looking game, character models look dated, horses look awful. There were better playing, looking, and running games, 8 years ago, don't waste your money… Expand

    It is highly satisfying completing a story arc or traversing the world and finding things that you felt that other players might not have stumbled across due to the nature of the open world and its use of way finders. The lack of load times on Xbox Series S is truly impressive given the nature of environments, landscape, and elements that are present on screen. There were a few issues from characters floating in mid-air, bizarre enemy AI, and straight up freezes, although these were far and few between given the scope of it all. Intuitive and varied combat help keep things fresh, even if it does take a fair few hours of gameplay to really get going. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a thoroughly enjoyable, open-world RPG that is an absolute must for Xbox owners.

    In many aspects Valhalla resembles most of Ubisoft’s games, but fortunately progression feels a lot more natural this time around. The game’s not perfect but I had lots of fun conquering new territories, plundering churches, and pillaging coastal villages while following a mature story and enjoying gorgeous, believable medieval Britain.
