Assassin's Creed Valhalla

I've been excited for this game for a long, LONG time. This might shock you, but I really liked Origins and Odyssey. I didn't love those two games, but I can see why both of them won critical acclaim and why they went into the Game Awards for game of the year. Again, I enjoyed those games, but I don't love them. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is simply amazing and exactly what I've been looking for in this new direction they're taking this series.

If you don't like RPGs, you probably won't like this game. If you don't like upgrading your character and grinding your weapons to become stronger, you probably won't like this game. If you're like me, someone who's been a fan of this franchise since Black Flag, then this is the type of game that will definitely win you over like it won me over. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is one of the greatest games in the entire franchise. I would go out my way and call it one of my favorite games of 2020.

Valhalla makes you feel like a viking, but you can upgrade your character to play like an assassin. Stealth is back and better than I imagined. No, it's not the best kind of stealth and it's not just go up to somebody and assassinate him all the time. Blending in with people? Now that's what I'm talking about, and that's what was lacking from the past two games... and it looks really good.

The storytelling is amazing. The gameplay and combat are great. The visuals are great on both the PS4/PS5 and the Xbox One/Xbox Series X. The voice acting is awesome (Come on... it's Cnut from The Last Kingdom playing Eivor? Who would say no?!). The music is masterful. The sound design is awesome. This game is just so awesome!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is definitely a game I recommend to every AC fan and RPG fans. It's one of the best games I've ever played in 2020, it's truly amazing. Even though, in my opinion, the Ezio games are so much better, Valhalla has enough elements to allow you to enjoy it. I wholeheartedly recommend gamers this game to play and enjoy it. 10/10. Amazing game!

Decent gameplay, buggy at times. Butchers the history.

This is one hell of concept.. VIKINGS !!... but boring ones... the game is so naked... i am bored to death by playing it... the story is not interesting at all, its even less assasins creed then the last couple of games.... i really dont enjoy playing it... origins was great, odyssey was good, VALHALLA is horrible..boring, not interesting at all..

So far it's ok.

To be honest it's a little boring and I dont think it's sets a good example for "next gen". I have it on Xbox Series X and I have come under multiple bugs were certain missions are unplayable. Npc animations are not the best I have seen arms moving the wrong direction, objects floating in peoples hands and arrows stuck in characters face during cut scenes. There has also been alot of sound synchronisation issues. The polish contrary to what review companies are saying is not there!

The story so far is also not the best I would have liked greater character depth.

Dont get me wrong I like the assasins creed universe I think the world they have created is good but so many other open world games are available and for a £60 price tag I expected a bit more.

I think ubisoft like other companies should have delayed this project rather than use it a opportunity to be one of the only launch titles on boths consoles.

I fell completely in love with this game despite the few tiny bugs that I encountered. The gameplay is on point and it a beautiful game. Everything was peachy until the last time I continued the game and ended up loosing 7 hrs of progress due to their save glitches. The game in my opinion is unplayable with it's current bugs.
