    I love the old AC games but the thing is I love the new direction the series has gone as well and to be completely honest I dont really have a preference.

That said I think Valhalla is a big step backwards. The story is pretty decent, they give assassinations a new little twist. The setting is gorgeous and I do like the gear system a bit better than Odyssey though I would have liked to see a few more weapons for each weapon type. I mean Odyssey was WWWAAAYYY to much whereas Valhalla is about 1/30th of the selection. I feel like they were a little too extreme the opposite way. I think the ability system is worse. Now you have to find books of knowledge to unlock new abilities instead of having them tied to progression like in Odyssey. Then there are the skill trees. Jesus Christ it makes no sense. There are 3 branches. Melee, Stealth, and.........Ranged? I cant remember for sure mostly because I can get as many melee level ups in the ranged tree as I can in the Melee skill tree. It's hard to explain, you'll see. I do however think it's totally worth a purchase. If you are on the fence because you didn't like Origins or Odyssey, I really think it feels closer to the old style than those mentioned above.… Expand

I hope Ubisoft will do something new with the series and finish with a fantasy trilogy!… Expand

    This game looks Beautiful, the combat is somehow solid, but as much as I played i could only think one thing:
    This is a souless game, i know it sounds stupid, but it's like they took the best of the best DEVs but did not care to make something for the player, so may things are annoying that seen they just didnt care about the player

This game is far from perfect and far from a disaster. I've played almost every AC game (only haven't played Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate) and have enjoyed most of them.

    I've put about 70 hours into the game so far. As of right now, the ceiling on this game (which can increase depending on how good the DLC ends up being) is about 8.5. However, in it's current state, I'd give it a 7.

    This game builds upon a lot of what worked in Origins and Odyssey while bringing back enough aspects from older games to get fanboys to stop whining on the internet.

    There are a fair amount of bugs that need fixing. Not enough to make the game unplayable, but enough to frustrate the player into quitting the game for the day. Some are purely cosmetic (I turned around at one point and saw an NPC floating and spinning about 25 feet or so in the air, one time I got out of a row boat and it flung into the air and exploded, little things like this). However, some do restrict advancement and have required me to restart the game (the only bug that has repeated has been the lack of an ability to initiate a discussion with an NPC that I'm required to talk to for a mission, another that I've experienced was a wealth box that was underwater that had an invisible box around it that prevented me from getting it... I ended up having to probe around it until I finally found a point where I could get close enough to open it).

    The parkour is just as frustrating as most people remember (I'm still shocked when I see people comment on how parkour was "great" in previous games... it is fun when it works, but when it doesn't, it is infuriating).

    With respect to stealth, even with the return of "blending in" and the hidden blade, there is little point in being sneaky in this game. As long as you aren't under-powered, you can take on entire fortresses by yourself and enemies don't call for reinforcements like previous games (even the bells only notify enemies in the immediate area that you are there).

    All in all, it's a fun game that will become good when the bugs are taken care of and could be great if the DLC is as good as Origins and Odyssey.    … Expand

    Its the same thing over and over again. They have drastically improved the game in terms of the kind of missions we get. Character animation and movement still suck, historical story is just a bunch bs and so it modern day but it's better than the previous ones. Soundtrack is good, environment is absolutely gorgeous. They have nailed 10/10 in these two categories for sure.

Less detailed particle effects and textures and some blurry looking visuals in the performance mode (until it got patched for nice crispy 4k). Definitely didn't feel like a next gen looking experience.

    For a game so focused on hand to hand and melee weapon combat, this feels quite dull to play..... The basic ai and smaller crowd sizes are disappointing. They should just drop the assassin's creed title from these games now as it just feels like a Moniker.

    At the end of this game I felt as if my time had been wasted. It took me 70+hrs to complete and 'hoover up' the main quests from my nap but I sincerely hope for more focused ac titles in future a la ac unity please!!!!! Also much rather have a single character in the game not 'customizable' make / female choice - it just feels unfocused and a waste of developer resources.    … Expand

    Repetitive and padded. This feels like a big step back from odyssey. The removal of sidequests makes levelling harder and the leap in recommended level just keeps growing from section to section.

    On top of that the characters and story are quite dull. It's a 20 hour game that's been painfully stretched over 60 hours. Content for the sake of content.

    Game is overall good but the constant unskippable finishers when killing enemies really starts to grind on patience. If that weren’t bad enough it takes control of your camera and character so more often then not your back is to the enemies and your camera is panned away from them.

En segunda instancia, presenta el AC con peor desarrollo argumental de toda la saga, teniendo piezas increíbles para retomar el lore de la saga, pero repartiendo piezas de la historia en mecánicas jugables inconcebibles en términos de diseño de juego. Sin entrar en spoilers, puedo decirles que para ver el final, antes de completar el juego, se deben encontrar fallas de sistema alrededor del mapa y completas las misiones que te llevan a Asgard (ambas, misiones opcionales).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So let me say first I’ve played most of the assassins creed titles. Odyssey is my favorite. So first I’d like to say what the game did well here with Valhalla. Graphics are great but game was buggy. It did a good job making you actually like Layla. Which was a huge issue I had with Odyssey. It did a good job tying the previous games together. Now to discuss what I did not like. I honestly think the characters aren’t that pretty as vain as that is. I also found the combat boring and clunky. A sharp contrast to Odyssey which I throughly enjoyed the combat for. I didn’t like the idea of giving blind devotion to a brother who is truly a rival. You don’t feel like a hero in the game. Again a sharp contrast to Odyssey. The feeling of the game is bleak sad and full of confusion. Even the Terrain in comparison to Odyssey is like eh just not that pretty. I wanted to see Eivor the hero saving the day. The game focuses too much on giving you a morally gray dilemma. Here are two bad choices...now choose lol. Finally...the end...I gotta be Loki really? Dude turned out he was out to kill me the entire game and now I gotta play as this dude? Yea I just didn’t like a lot of story choices here. Sadly I bought all the dlcs and I’m praying they redeem this game cause it was a bit of a disappointment for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I dive in I'll give you a bit of background. I purchased the game on launch day to play on my Xbox Series X. I finished the story last week, It took me 64 hours to complete and I have recently become a father therefore my gaming time has taken a hit

    ****May Contain Spoilers****

    The game itself is absolutely beautiful, the world is set in England during the viking dark ages. The story follows Eivor a male or female norse viking who follows his/her brother Sigurd to start a new settlement. The game story has many tangents and to progress in the story you will need to do story quests which involve making alliances with the various counties in England. You also find your usual order of the ancients too so there is some familiarity there.
    From the misty bogs, to the freezing north, to the beautiful green forests - England is beautiful on this game.

    I did not come across many bugs like others have been reporting. I found the gameplay quite easy to get used to - if you've played AC Origins or Odyssey then this will be familiar to you. I struggled with my axe at first however I changed to have two axes then I never looked back.

    Playing the game was enjoyable however the big part for me is the story which lets it down. About half way through the game something will happen to your brother and you will need to try and save his life. This particular part of the story had me hooked to playing on and on to see how the story plays out. After this part of the story the game goes into a lull where nothing really happens, I continued to do the quests aiming to make allegiances with the remaining 5 counties which is another 8+ hours of gameplay.

    The story ties up right at the end when you get to the final county - Another segment of the story is introduced and ties up the remaining questions you have.
    My huge problem with this is that because of the 8+ hour lull in the story I've lost momentum and found myself losing interest in any dialogue.
    The climax of the story takes place and a couple of people you've met during your time in England die however I met these characters after playing the game for 12 hours so 40+ hours later I'm not really caring about these characters because I could barely remember who they were!

    If you are a big AC fan and you have got the time to dedicate to this game then I think you could potentially have a better experience than me. Maybe I struggled following the story and having that bond with the characters because its taken me so long to play due to my new circumstances?

    I thought I'd share my thoughts anyway.
    AC Odyssey and Black Flag remain as my favourite AC games - Partly because I find Ancient Greece and the Pirate world fascinating.    … Expand

The difference? You can’t slip these boring main missions, whereas in odyssey, side mission could be skipped if you started them and didn’t enjoy; whereas now, since it’s part of the main mission, I’m forced to sit through boring mission that I really found uninteresting. That’s coupled with the fact that the characters are different in each sequence. It barely builds on story so not as much depth can be reached in terms of over arching story. Yes there’s some things that tie in, but I would have liked one long story to progress, much like Odyssy’s search for the parents/brother. In Valhalla, there isn’t much purpose to everything that you’re doing other than “gaining allies” and that propose remains the same each time you start a new sequence. There just no development and it all just blended into one which I really didn’t enjoy. In addition, the bird can’t mark targets anymore! So there’s isn’t really much use to using it. There are some pros though, combat was refined. Graphics are better than ever and there are some interesting modern day elements. But damn is this game long and filled with boring content!

    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.

    What could have been an elephants' graveyard of forgotten ideas instead feels like a series-wide victory lap. [Issue#353, p.96]
