    Despite the hate from some tasteless losers, this game is actually really well crafted. People who give 0's have obviously never played it.

    Without this game 2020 would have been complete nightmare. This was one of the few things that allowed me to focus on something nice. Thank you Ubisoft.

    This game has hardly any hardcore bugs, some small ones are expected in this big open-world game. But it's very much playable and runs well on any system. It's not even nearly as bad as Cyberpunk 2077, so haters should just stop their lies.

    Pretty good Assassin's Creed game if i'm honest. Cities look great, hood is back, hidden blade.

    I have hardly anything negative to say about Valhalla, because it fixes literally everything that Odyssey did horribly. Good one.

    Ac Valhalla was one of the biggest surprises of 2020 games. This world truly shines and is actually interesting. Recommendation!

    This game was literally review bombed with over twenty 0/10 scores and now when fans are fighting back then some absolute losers dares to say that positive reviews are fake? This is next level pathetic, seriously.

    Lmao haters on this site are just lowest of the low. Thousands of people on reddit are posting about this game, liking it, etc. But when someone dares to say on metacritic that he/she likes it, then it must be bots? jesus christ.

    One of the best games of 2020. Anyone who hates this game can go to hell and i seriously mean it. I wouldn't even talk with you in real life, if you give this game 0/10.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla is yet another Victory for Ubisoft! Haters can whine as much as they want, but nothing will change that. As a long time Ubisoft fan, it feels really good to finish off this awful year with this victory!

    People who say that it's copy of Odyssey have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. yeah it has some similar elements and that's fine, because after all it's part of same series. But overall basically everything is new. England and Norway look absolutely nothing like Greece in Odyssey. Graphics are way better now, water looks completely different and looks exactly as North-SeaPeople who say that it's copy of Odyssey have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. yeah it has some similar elements and that's fine, because after all it's part of same series. But overall basically everything is new. England and Norway look absolutely nothing like Greece in Odyssey. Graphics are way better now, water looks completely different and looks exactly as North-Sea looks in real life. It's very well done re-creation of England and Norway in 800's and it's not copy + they fixed all the problems that Odyssey had, now you have hood that you can take off at any moment, hidden blade is back, parkour is back and there's no xp grind. You get xp very easily and 2 skillpoints each time. Very good game.… Expand

    Solid entry into one of my favorite gaming series. Not as good as AC4, but gets pretty close.

    Brutal combat and parkour (not as good, but good enough) from Unity, exploration from Black Flag and Scale from Origins + bonus a lot of different enemies, locations and lands.

    I really like this game. Odyssey and Origins didn't impress me, okay Origins was fine, but Odyssey has weak story, but Valhalla is better than both of these. So, if you didn't care for Odyssey i would suggest trying Valhalla.

    Well done Ubisoft! Not sure if this will be just one hit from them or are they actually back on track making good games, but hopefully they are. No more Ghost Recon Breakpoint's and more AC Valhalla's please.

    Assassin's Creed is back, better than ever! Well, okay it's not best AC game (that would be AC 4), but it's still great and way better than Odyssey. I'm not able to understand why someone would say that they like Odyssey more. I guess these people don't like actual Assassin's Creed? Either way it seems like they are slowly moving back to what AC used to be and that's amazing. I have readAssassin's Creed is back, better than ever!

I have read that some people want fall damage to be removed. To me that's BS. Why remove fall damage? AC games have ALWAYS had fall damage, because it makes parkouring more risky/interesting. If you know that you gonna fall and nothing happens, then where's the fun?… Expand

    I will support Ubisoft until the day i die. I bought AC Valhalla Day 1 and i will do same with Far Cry 6. I want to play Assassin's Creed Unity as last thing i ever do, before i die.

    It's crazy how evil and tasteless some people can be. Ubisoft takes years to make these amazing game and all they get back is some whining losers who give them 0 out of 10. Great game.

    Assassin's Creed: Valhalla restored my faith in Ubisoft. I was really worried after Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's actually understandable that all their games can't be hits, because they have so many studios working on different games, so no wonder some of these games are great and some are not.

    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]
