    If you're okay with a long experience and the RPG Assassin's Creed games, this is a no-brainer. I'm 55 hours into my first playthrough and still loving every moment. Very occasional bugs compared to previous AC games and a beautifully crafted story.

    Amazing Graphics on the series X at or near 60fps. If you have a Oled like the lg c9 or cx your in for a treat. Amazing music, Amazing world and great story makes an amazing game. People that give games 0 on the site because its on another platform need to get a life.

    Impresionante juego de Ubisoft, que ha sabido cambiar lo suficiente el juego respecto a los dos anteriores como para que sea lo suficientemente fresco sin perder la esencia de los assassins creed.

    -La historia está muchisimo más trabajada que en Odyssey y está contada de mejor manera, casi te parece estar viendo una serie de HBO. -Graficamente es espectacular en Series X, 4k 60fps.

    -La ambientación como en todos y cada uno de los Assassins es perfecta, un 10 para esos desarrolladores que se encargan de recopilar los datos de cada epoca de los juegos y las plasman de esa manera.
    -El tema de las misiones, personalmente prefiero un sistema de misiones clasico como en Odyssey, con misiones secundarias que tengan una historia cada una de ellas y una cadenita de misiones de 2 o 3 que te la cuentan, aqui son muy parecidos a los eventos de RDR2, encuentras a alguien, haces algo y adiós, no hay ningun desarrollo, pero bueno, es lo que pedía la gente, quitar las secundarias y se les da, también se quejarán seguro xD

    En fin, un juego redondo, muy entretenido!    … 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.

    I like it. In a lot of ways better than Odyssey. No more trash weapons, you can build, you can duel like in RPG (block, stun, weapon combos, shields). I like worlds events, they are so funny. No stupid quests "bring 10 bunch of something". And the world is great and beautiful. And yeah, you can raid. Vikings!

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the newest action role-playing video game published by Ubisoft which was developed by its Montreal studio.

Assassin's Creed ValhallaAssassin's Creed Valhalla is the newest action role-playing video game published by Ubisoft which was developed by its Montreal studio. It is the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series to date. Assassin's Creed Valhalla created a tremendous amount of hype leading up to the next generation of hardware releases, and everyone was waiting to play it. Assassin's Creed Valhalla begins in the late 9th century in 873, when the Vikings invaded Britain to find a new land to thrive within. For the first few hours you will be in the icy suffering from political drama of ninth-century Norway where warrior Eivor having deep conversations about the future of her clan. You will step into the shoes of the Viking Eivor which can be male or female character that decision is left up up to you. Eivor leading his or her clan to conquer lands in England after Norway becomes crowded with war. Along the way, Eivor proves to be both a fearsome warrior and a loyal friend and family member. It's a duality, says narrative director Darby McDevitt, that will have Eivor pulled in different directions throughout the course of ''Valhalla'' and the decisions for where the character goes will be with in the players hands. For me Assassin's Creed Valhalla might be the best game in AC franchise. Its beautiful and huge open world makes you feel like you are walking in England however from time to time you can feel sparse in places but its habitat and environment changes your perception eventually. Eivor is a brilliant warrior and fearless and game makes you feel so realistic that you can see Eivor as a real human being. With a powerful system such as Xbox Series X, this game can be played 4K 60fps smoothly in its amazing open world and looks simply stunning. Ubisoft changed Assassin's Creed Valhalla and took the series in to another level over the improved RPG focused Assassin's Creed Odyssey. New quest types, assaults, raids new mechanics that unfamiliar with series such as ''no regenerating health''. Hitting in this game feels realistic better than ever, and sound and visuals in finishers look absolutely fantastic. With Assassin's Creed Valhalla Ubisoft created a new, innovative RPG-stealth gameplay. In the end this is the best in the series to date and by far my favorite. Does the new generation of gaming powered console assist in this, I'm sure it does but The AC long running franchise has rarely held up to the expectations of the time it was released and once again Ubisoft hits the mark of expectations for lucky early Xbox Series X owners. If you purchased a new console put this one on your must have list this holiday season if you haven't picked it up already.… Expand

    Didn't finish Origins and didn't get Odyssey because I hated the assassinations and combat leveling. I like the old ones. This has the perfect balance and I loved it! The story both in and out kept you on your toes and the mysteries in every area were varied and interesting. If you're on the fence dont be!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. AC Valhalla is great!
    Ubisoft constructed a beautiful Open World and it looked absolutely beautiful on my One X and Series X. The Story was pretty good, the beginning especially was really well done. The Character Customization is way better than in Origins and Odyssey and there are a lot of Customizable's! I liked the Combat of the Game, but it kinda lacked the Chaos which we had in Odyssey. We also can now dual wield weapons, which is a fine addition ( including shields)! The Skill Tree was massive in Valhalla and I had fun checking out the many skills it had to offer, i especially liked the one where we can send our wolf to attack enemies! The Raiding was by far the most fun part( alongside the exploration) and the most rewarding one. But this game also might be the most unpolished entry after AC Unity to the series, I encountered bugs on Series X and One X, and some crashes on my One X. But at the end of the road, these issues were nothing compared to the fun I had with AC Valhalla!

    Verdict: 10/10. While this Game might be one of the most unpolished entries into AC, this also is an awesome Viking Adventure I recommend to everyone! I    … Expand

    So much better than Odyssey and not only that, it's actually great game. Might even be in my top 3 of 2020. This one feels like the actually cared and really crafted it out. There's no random stuff anymore, everything matters and voice acting is better than ever. Story is nice, graphics are amazing, parkour is still best in Unity, but they get very close.

    From November lineup this is very clear winner. Miles Morales is fine second place, but it's just too basic for my taste. I need something deeper and AC Valhalla is exactly that.

    Best Ac game since Black Flag. Incredible open world, actually two of them, because Norway and England are on separated maps. So much to discover, story is really enjoyable so far, voice acting for main character is perfect. Can't believe they will add Ireland later as well, not like it's huge world already, but i'm not complaining. More of this Ubisoft, more of this.

    This game is one of the better comebacks i have seen in years. Odyssey had the graphics, but story was weak and voice acting was meh. This one has everything and more. Voice acting is perfect, music is just amazing, i could literally hours meditate for that main menu theme. Graphically it takes things further than ever. Some locations look just amazing.

Performance is actually pretty good, it's obvious that it wont have best ever performance on 2013 consoles, but it still very much playable and on PC it's good enough to get 60-70fps if you have up to date graphics card. Ubisoft is obviously going to patch it to get performance even better. Highly recommending this one.… Expand

    I have bought so many games this year, mostly because there was nothing to do thanks to quarantine. I bought Tony Hawk 1+2 remake, i bought Ghost of Tsushima, i bought 2018 spider-man (it's amazing btw), i refused to buy last of us 2 because how they lied to their fans, that was disgusting. But overall of all these games i have bought this year, i have enjoyed AC Valhalla most.

    Best Ubisoft game they have made in 4 years, truly impressive stuff. To whoever says that
    it's boring, i'm sure you will find your fun in Marvel's Avengers, leave good games to people who actually know how to enjoy them. This is literally perfect game to spend my time on until Cyberpunk comes out.

    AC Valhalla almost feels like "Thank You" letter from Ubisoft to all their fans that have supported them past 7 years. It's truly amazing game and there's nothing more that pisses me off than these absolute nolife losers who gives zeros without even caring about this series or buying it. I wish all the worst in your lives.

    Really surprised Ubisoft managed to make this. I mean they have had hits before, but after 2019 flop i kinda lost hope, seems i was too quick to judge. AC Valhalla is at least 100 hour game with tons of good content, locations, enemies etc. Story is also surprisingly good, specially if compared to Odyssey.

Or maybe he is just tired of these huge game-worlds, i guess that happens when you start taking gaming as a job, instead of fun hobby. This one has million times more interesting content than Miles Morales, so i guess if someone just wants games to be quickly over, then Miles Morales is better choice. I personally love long games that have tons of content, so i would very much recommend Valhalla. To each their own i guess.… Expand

It's easily one of the best games of 2020, there's not even much competition. Like of the few games that can compete with this (from 2020) is Final Fantasy VII Remake and maybe Doom Eternal, that's literally it. These two are completely different games from AC Valhalla, so it's almost unfair to compare them, but all of them are quality games.… 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.
