    说实话，神话三部曲的最后一部，真没意思，一个玩过每一部刺客信条正作的老玩家，只能感慨，不知道这游戏剧情在干什么。不知道玩儿完了没有。

    Pretty bad game, poorly optimized and the worst in the series, a very slow and disconnected story, repeated characters

    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.

    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. You play as a viking that have NOTHING to do with the Assassin's. There is no story line, it's more like a 100h game of side quests. The game also offer you the worst parkour in the entire franchise.

Eivor make you feel like you are 500 pounds and they want you to do collectibles with a lot of parkour. At the moment that im writing this, I played the game in November 2022. 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

    Impressed with this game. The map is very cool to explore, the music is great, the story (on AC standards) is good but can be a bit too repetitive. There are too many characters that don't need to be there and this drags the pacing. The gameplay overall is enjoyable.

    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.

There's the base building meta and raids but they are just tedious. Gear is scarce and expensive to upgrade so you will pick one and stick with it for the rest of the game.

    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

    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.

    Very cool game, but only in first few hours.
    If you played it for 5 hours, you have seen it all, but there is still 200 hours hours of repeated content.
    I don't know if the plot is nice, because characters are sooo boring after those 5 hours that I had to skip most of the dialogues

    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

    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.

Graphically, the game on Series X is pleasing, support on Series S 60 FPS is respectful. But the storyline is weak, albeit the canon for the end! I hope Ubisoft will do something new with the series and finish with a fantasy trilogy!… Expand

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

    On aurait pu croire qu’après les deux précédents AC (les décevants Origins et Odyssey) Ubisoft aurait mis de l’eau dans son vin mais il n’en est rien ou si peu…! on change de décor(s) certes mais le grind et le farming demeurent, inexpugnables dans ce Valhalla ! soit en mauvais franglais le farmage de crevard à la coréenne et le limage jusqu’à l’intox de choses répétitives à répétition !On aurait pu croire qu’après les deux précédents AC (les décevants Origins et Odyssey) Ubisoft aurait mis de l’eau dans son vin mais il n’en est rien ou si peu…! on change de décor(s) certes mais le grind et le farming demeurent, inexpugnables dans ce Valhalla ! soit en mauvais franglais le farmage de crevard à la coréenne et le limage jusqu’à l’intox de choses répétitives à répétition ! une putain de mine pour stakhanovistes ludo-décérébrés !

    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

    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

    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.
