    Master piece of Ubisoft, recreating a fantastic world taking into account all the charm of the Viking era.

    Ubisoft has learned well from its mistakes in previous games and fixed most of them in Valhalla. Its experience is recommended even for those who do not like the RPG style of the AC franchise.

    the game is pretty great, though it does have a lot of bugs, the combat feels good, and the exploration is top notch, though it has almost no replay value, or more accurately if you have to start over, its a massive daunting task that will have you second guessing ever playing it again

    Good game. There is a minus in the game - the same type of quests, at first they are good, but after 50+ hours of playing they make you sick.

Let me just say that Saxons speak Old English, while Norse people speak Old Norse. This will give you a hint of what you should expect to see in Valhalla when it comes to small details that make the game so immersive and vivid. You can also choose a reduced HUD in order to enjoy more natural exploration (hands down for this). The main story is really good, sides quests are interesting, etc. You can also experience part of the game as an Assassin, following the line of older titles. The only aspect that I didn't like is the RPG component that make the game a little bit farmy, although it doesn't get to Odyssey's level or Shadows of War's. Finally, I should mention that I've experience two game breaking bugs so far as a result of the last update: flickering characters and crashes. I hope they fix this issue or I'd have to edit this review accordingly. I rate this game a 9 over 10 considering that 10 is Red Dead Redemption 2 levels of quality and design in the open world genre.… Expand

    The game is about Vikings; not many games out there have a real focus on Vikings. The art is beautiful, and the sound is crazy; sometimes, you want to keep listening to it or even do something just for the sound. The game is worth every single dime with good fighting mechanics.

    The best Assassins' Creed so far.
    Why? Because this game is the least Assassins' creed of all AC games.

    Just hoping Ubisoft will see the signals and will definitely unties himself from these old mechanics and clumsy parkour.

    In terms of didactic story, open world, graphics... really great

    Uma obra-prima da nova triologia lançada pela Ubisoft. Infelizmente, ficou claro que AC Origins e Odyssey foram apenas testes para o que seria o AC Valhalla hoje em dia. O jogo é lindo, dublagem impecável, sistema de combate que mistura um pouco de The Witcher e Dark Souls (nas lutas contra chefões principalmente) e o sistema de dificuldade personalizável foi uma grata surpresa.

    For me Valhalla was much better than Odyssey but after 40hours it was like " ok another
    conquest". Game was beautyful. Great graphics, nice storytelling. But again they did lots of collectibles to find around world.

    5. Проходил на xbox series s и как такового "мыла" в режиме производительности не заметил, мое почтение.

    Что по минусам:
    1. Вечные баги. Юбисофт так и не смогла научиться выпускать игру без них. Поэтому будьте готовы к ошибкам, к тому, что вы просто умрете в любом месте, НПС будут застревать в текстурах или ходить кругами, в общем все как вы любите.
    2. Все очень однообразное. Да, местами нужно сложить камешки в пирамидку, где-то сделать скриншот рисунков на камнях, это все очень весело, но по факту весь сюжет это мы деремся, потому что... (иногда конечно пьем, но по факту только деремся).Неужели в то время небыло абсолютного ничего кроме мордобоя?
    3. Это не assassin's creed. Вы не скрытный убийца, вы гребаный викинг, которой весит 200 кг и убивает с 1 удара. Это не минус, это просто факт. Стелс есть, но только для галочки.

    В общем и целом, очень достойное продолжение, но с со своими особенностями. Честно, я кайфанул и поверил что я в Англии, наиграл 150 часов и не жалею.    … Expand

    This is Assassin's Creed game, just like Black Flag is Assassin's Creed game. Just cause you have more things to explore, more activities, more enemies than AC 1, doesn't mean it's not Assassin's Creed. Literally same could be said about GTA. "GTA 5 is not GTA anymore because you can do way more stuff than in GTA 1 and GTA 2".

Yes it is! Deal with it!

    Now it's solid open-world AC game, but sadly it's not better than Black Flag. I just wish story/mission design was more interesting or unique. Black Flag had all kinds of unique mission designs and also story was better. In Valhalla missions aren't that interesting, but there's still many fun ones. But true star of Valhalla is it's open world and freedom to do whatever you feel like. That's what was missing from AC 1 for me, because these games can simply be so much more than just generic assassination games. AC is not and should not be Hitman. AC should be ALWAYS compared to games like GTA or Red Dead Redemption. You can do so much more in these games than just the basic story stuff and that same logic should apply to AC and most people seem to understand that. It seems to be minority who complains that AC is not so linear anymore. Most people seem to like that freedom and more activities. This open world is there for a reason! Might as well fill that open world with content and that's what Ubisoft did in both Black Flag and Valhalla, even Unity and Syndicate. That is the right direction.    … Expand

    Personalmente creo que es el mejor Assassins Creed en muchos años, desde la epoca de Ezio. La tematica es increible y la ambientación es apabullante. A nivel grafico es de lo mejor que existe de momento en consolas y a novel historia y contenido es un 10. Ojalá mas Assassins Creed como este, enhorabuena Ubisoft.

    Better graphics than Elden Ring, that's for sure. Overall this game surprised me, it's not best AC game, but it has more to offer than Odyssey or Origins. Story is not most interesting thing in this game, but open world and exploration makes this game solid. I still wish they would go back to Black Flag/Unity era tho.

    The only thing I could change is world colors - sometimes too much colorful - I prefer much more real colors of grass, trees, etc...similar to RDR2.... but I understand that it depends on your taste.    … Expand

    How can anyone in their right mind say that Odyssey is better Assassin's Creed game than Valhalla? It's absolutely fine, if you prefer Odyssey more than Valhalla, as a video game. But to say that Odyssey is better AC game is simply not true. Not even close. It's very obvious that more people actually like Valhalla way more than Odyssey. It's their best selling PC game of all time! i justHow can anyone in their right mind say that Odyssey is better Assassin's Creed game than Valhalla?

It's very obvious that more people actually like Valhalla way more than Odyssey. It's their best selling PC game of all time! i just feel Ubisoft fans are hiding in the shadows. They are too mature to argue on internet. They don't care about pointless drama. They just want to enjoy games. But i feel like sometimes Ubisoft fans should fight back stronger. Yeah it's cool you praise these things on reddit, but there's way more important sites and metacritic is one of them.

    No youtuber never mentions some random reddit "praise post" but they always show metacriti'c user score and these videos get 100 000's on views. This is manipulation 101. I know it's pathetic, because metacritic user score is most meaningless thing on this planet, but fact is, that these people are using it. It's just bunch of losers, usually some tasteless crackwatch-reddit users who hate on Ubisoft in general. They don't even play their games, they don't even care about their games. They are just pathetic, whiny losers and nothing else.

    When Far Cry 6 comes out in few month, i guarantee, bunch of Ubisoft haters (who will never buy Far Cry 6 btw) start giving it 0/10 scores and i feel like this time Ubisoft fans really, really need to fight back. It has gone too far. Cdproject red released most talentless game in 20 years and these people still try to praise it, while hating on Ubisoft's perfectly decent games that actually work. Like i said, these scores don't matter at all, they never did, never will, but i feel like Ubisoft fans (and there are millions) should for once actually try to fight back, even if it's just to annoy these haters. Even that would be worth it.

    It has nothing to do with company. Ubisoft has made lots of games i don't care about at all (Breakpoint, Division 2, For Honor, Crew 2) and if Valhalla would be one of these bad games i would ignore it as well, but that's not the case. Valhalla simply isn't bad game. It's just not and nothing, absolutely nothing will change that fact.    … 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.
