    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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 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

    Everyone who gave this game a 10 and a 0 are overreacting. 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!

    I played on Series X on performance mode and the game ran smoothly and looked great with just a few small bugs and visual artifacts. (version 1.6)

    The Good:

    -Beautiful world
    -Good gameplay
    -Eivor and a few (very few) other characters
    -Settlement and other mini-games
    The Bad:

    -Dumb AI
    -Even though the world is beautiful, it's too big with too many activities
    -Custom difficulty settings - What is up with this?? after 70h, I set everything on the easiest option just to finish the game quicker. The game already felt empty, so kinda glad actually.
    -THE STORY- I've been an AC fan since Altair and enjoyed, more or less, most of them, but Valhalla is incredibly boring. It made me invest so little in it. Honestly found myself feeling tired and yawning so many times. Sad, because it used to be all about the story... :(    … Expand

    Not terrible, but pretty dull and repetitive. Just constant quests of "go here and fight these". The settlement building was a good idea but doesn't really do much. Like the rest of a game, a shell of an idea that quickly just reverts back to fighting and grinding.

    Clearly rushed for the new console generation, bugs everywhere. Nothing game breaking but just annoying and spoil the fun.    Not terrible, but pretty dull and repetitive.

    Exercise in repetition and monotony.

    Story: barely there. Pick a region - participate in a mini-arc, move to the next. No sense of accomplishment whatsoever. Gameplay: downgrade from Odyssey.

    Graphics and setting: This is no Unity. The towns quickly blend together as they all look the same. The graphics are nice but the color palette is so dull that it really makes no difference.

    Character: Malaka! Might as well be a genderless blob. No memorable character to speak of. Goes along with any violence and throws a fit when someone disagrees with them.

    Verdict: buy on deep sale or better yet play Odyssey again.    … Expand

    Another plastic-world-simulator from UBI. Plastic world, plastic combat, plastic everything. It all feels... cheap, like in some free to play asian MMO.
    Grapics are good, music also, but this game have absolutly no soul. And for sure no dirty-viking-type soul (more like Ken/Barbie pretending to be a Viking. ) Bottom line: very medicore. Unfortunately.

The modeling and animation of characters, trees, buildings, boats, animals, day-night cycle - all done beautifully, and an evolution from Odyssey. Not quite RDR2, but not bad, still. The bad - in line with "new gen" AC games (Origins and Odyssey), this is quite repetitive. The same formula of "conquer region by helping a dude or two, playing out a small quest line" is repeated many times, without much change until the end. Have to give them credit, they made an effort to introduce some modicum of intrigue into these quests and they feel a bit fresher. Present day quest line feels even more confusing and abandoned this time around.
    The grind of "travel the map from one shiny dot to another solving a small puzzle, collecting treasure" is there. Showing it all to you on a map, and showing "% completed" counters kill all thr intrigue from discovering world's hidden secrets and turn treasure hunting into a chore. They also tried to introduce variety by throwing in little quests as those shiny dots, but those are plain ridiculous, showing the biggest weakness of the game, which brings me to... The ugly - game's writing is as atrocious as Odyssey, and that one was quite a step down from Origins. It seems that dialogues are written by cranky 8th graders. The characters are plain as a sheet of drywall, the dialogues are bland and unimaginative, and sometimes just don't make sense and every quest is just a collection of plot devices. One example - in a major city you meet two characters who are in charge of local law enforcement, ostensibly having grown up in this city. The three of you discover a murder and the characters immediately tell you that you are the only person they coild trust, sending you off on a delicate mission to find the culprits. Of course, they believe your first word when you come back having discovered the culprits. And the "mini-quests" are even worse. One of them has you meet a viking who had lost everything, but does not feel sad. You get to choose one dialogue line that teaches him how to cry. All "quest" lasts about 15 seconds. There are bright spots, but mostly it's a dungheap. Every Ubisoft wroter needs to be sent into a re-education camp for a year where they would spend time playing Witcher 3 and RDR2. And on top of that we have, of course, the bowing to all the multiple oppressed factions that we have in 2020. The world of vikings conquering medieval England is apparently full of female leaders. Homosexual relationship are as prevalent as heterosexual, and butch lesbian women are often leading the charge. Nothing wrong with that if it were England of 2020, but I remember the Assassin's Creed which tried to recreate a historical period and teach you something about the epoch. Today, in attempt to not hurt anyone's feelings, all is lost. Even historical buildings and locations replaced with generic towns witb vaguely familiar names.

    The game is still fun, combat is cool, blood flows (so far), but it feels like the series took one step closer to a casual MMORPG.    … Expand

    Endless cutscenes that do nothing but bog the gameplay down.

    Dull game pacing exacerbated by the huge game world, not improved by it.

    And as usual for Ubisoft games: designers frequently break the game's immersion by forcing the player out of the actual gameplay with their continual flash-forwards to their ridiculous "archeologist from the future" storyline. Message to Ubisoft: no one buys a game about Vikings because they want to play as a researcher in a secret cabin somewhere. This has got to be the most baffling bit of stupid writing that has crippled every one of their AC games.

    And contrary to all the fan boys out there, the graphics are fine - but not that good. Red Dead Redemption was far better, as was Death Stranding - and any of a dozen others - and they came out two years ago.

Not the worst in the series because Odyssey exists but easily a close second to last.

    The phrase "as vast an ocean with the depth of a puddle" comes to mind. The combat is dull and repetitive, the stealth doesn't work, the "distrust" system is completely pointless. If you're going to make a game like this don't call it Assassin's Creed, call it anything else so I won't even think to buy it next time.

    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.

    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

    this game sucks,endless,boring simulacrum of an open world game.Ubisoft should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this dumpster fire of a game with bugs exceeding the max power level.Ubisoft dont release any more games and work on your gameplay and story structure fast because you are going to become irrelavant fast

    While I agree that the story is very interesting and the characters are well written, I do feel that they are the only thing compensating for frustrating controls, unclear mechanics and combat that feels like a chore. As a fan of the series it feels like a step back from previous games.

    How in the world does this have an eight at the time of writing this, the battle mechanics are garbage the special abilities are basically on usable in combat and as long as you mash RB over and over again you’ll win every fight. Odyssey was the best assassin‘s creed since Black flag this feels like about 10 steps backwards.

    This is the worst Assassin's Creed game so far. I was hoping that it would be better then Odyssey but sadly it's not. First of all it's NOT an Assassin's Creed.

And guess what : STILL A LOT OF GLITCHES BUT 482 DLCS ! The game is so broken that it's not even fun. And the DLCs are just boring stories... Again. What made be fall in love with the franchise is everything that the franchise offers, and soundtracks are a big part of it. ALL the games have insane soundtracks. Sadly Valhalla is the ONLY GAME OF THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE with **** soundtracks like that. Sorry but Jesper Kyd let me down on that one. The map is so huge but so empty. I know that Ubisoft want to do 300 hours game but come on, at least put some good stories and side quests... This game is a disgrace to the Assassin's Creed franchise, at this point Ubisoft should reconsider to rename their boring games. Everything is bad in this game.… Expand

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.

    This is not an assassin creed game. They finish the modern day storyline so suddenly. They should finish the story of each character. Every year new character. Disgusting.

Character posture is terrible since the look like trolls more than people. Dont remember the last time i hated the character i was playing.

    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.

    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.
