    Terrible game, mind numbingly boring repetitive gameplay and story, this is far from an AC game just like odyssey, it is a Viking fantasy RPG with a sprinkle of mythology and generous dash of microtransactions.

Seems like this game has been the final nail in the coffin regarding Darby's departure from Ubisoft, hopefully he joins a team that will give him freedom to create the story he wants to create. It is hard not to see this game as a money grabbing tool that Ubisoft have created with the Helix store, limiting the amount of content (armour sets, weapons) in the base game then adding all other content behind pay walls is disgusting charging £10 - £15 per armour pack for a 'singleplayer' game, I wrote a post on reddit and made a petition regarding this if you want to know more follow the links below I go little further in depth regarding the matter.

    A intriguing change of pace that gives the Assassin's Creed series the breathing room it has so desperately needed for eons, without making any compromises on content. Well worth your time to enter the gates of Valhalla

    Easy game awards candidate. Unlike so many 2020 games (re3remake,avengers,mafia), Valhalla has so much interesting content and things to do. Beautiful graphics, good voice acting and nice story.

    My experience -
    Positives: 1. Norway is well designed
    2. England map design is even better 3. More than enough secrets / mysteries 4. Story is fun enough 5. Main character's voice acting is one of the best in AC series 6. Combat is fun, specially with abilities, without it's just fine 7. So many towers / houses / places to climb, parkour is million times better than in odyssey 8. I    My experience -

    8. I really like some world effects, for example how ice breaks under you
    9. Variety of different enemies.
    10. Stunning graphics, landscapes, cities.
    Negatives:
    1. Like usual with Ubisoft games, performance could be better, but this
    launch is about 300 times better than RDR2 PC version launch (and Rockstar had whole years for that).
    2. Some bugs as expected with huge open world games, but nothing awful.
    3. Is it just me or water seems kinda empty? Maybe i just haven't explored enough idk, i was expecting giant squids, Odyssey had whales, so why not.
    Conclusion: One of the most beautiful and fun games i have played in long time.    … Expand

    I think biggest problem with Assassin's Creed games is that some people have absolutely no clue what kind of games these are.

Assassin's Creed has millions of fans around the world and AC Valhalla had one of the biggest Ubisoft game launches EVER. And while many who like this game keep playing it and never really visit sites like this, metacritic attracts haters who very often don't even have particular game, just to give low scores, because it's so easy here. Any, absolutely any loser can make metacritic account with 3 minutes and give 0 score and that will affect overall score, it shouldn't be like that, but it is. For example yesterday one person made over 8 accounts in 20 minutes and gave 0's to this game, because his version was censored or whatever. His comments and scores are still on this site, that's how easy it is to manipulate that user score.… Expand

    It's a good game, everything is better than in Odyssey and Origins, some of the old gameplay is back, the story is really interesting. That's a pretty good assassin's creed

    People who give this 0 or 1 score can go to hell, this game is good. I'm not saying it's perfect, because it has some bugs like any other open world game would have at launch, but overall it's huge beautiful game world to have fun with, great story, nice voice acting. Strong recommendation.

    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.

    Once you have finished the first main story arc in England you have basically done every thing the game has to offer. Your enjoyment of the game depends on how much you enjoy the events in the first 7 hours of the game.

    To be completely honest, it's one of three games (other two are doom eternal and final fantasy 7 remake) i have truly enjoyed in 2020 and even at that, it might take top spot. Yes i'm hardcore Assassin's Creed fan, but it could have been easily boring and grindy like Odyssey, but it isn't It's absolute opposite. Amazing.

    Сама по себе игра интересная, но к ассасинам не имеет никакого отношения, сюжет построен на викингах, и про ассасинов ничего не говориться. В игре очень много багов, например : лодка улетела в небо. Как по мне игра ещё недоделана.Сама по себе игра интересная, но к ассасинам не имеет никакого отношения, сюжет построен на викингах, и про ассасинов ничего не говориться.

    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. This series dies with AC4 black flag. This game is combination of Witcher 3, Red dead redemption 2 and Dragon age. Stop copying and make something new.

    It's so obvious that tons of these 0/10 are 100% fake. These people haven't even played it. I don't believe for a second that someone actually bought it for 60 dollars/euros, played it 50-60 hours and then comes here to give it 0/10. Hell no.

    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]
