I have played every mainline assassin's creed game by this point (barring AC: Shadows for system requirements). I decided in my infinite wisdom that I wanted to choose one of the games from the series to Platinum. So when I was 100 hours+ in to AC Valhalla I realized how nuts it was to choose either the most or SECOND most time-centric games in the entire series. But somehow I prevailed. On Initial thoughts: Truthfully, I did not have high hopes for the game. I am one of the people who don't care to hate profusely on the modern RPG AC games, but Valhalla in particular despite it's grandeur always made me hesitate. I did one playthrough years back that didn't last very long before I quit and renounced playing it. But a future version of me with more time on my hands and a better attitude wanted to make a better impression and I'd argue it was a success. On Stats: Game stats say I played for roughly 232 hours - but it didn't account for a playthrough I dropped years prior. I'd say my real stats are somewhere close to 190 hours. The pacing is straightforward. and I didn't feel cheated for my time. Things take long because the emphasis on exploration requires that. Sinking lots of hours into open-world games is expected and encouraged. If you don't want to spend a lot of time (100%ing or not) you should likely avoid this game. Hours will be spent regardless of your approach. Completing the story without intending to 100% the game net me around 30-40% of the game's badges (not counting DLC). On Value: If you want value-to-purchase ratio and enjoy the AC series, then you should get this game. You'll enjoy the Viking setting, the many different activities, raids, free side content, etc. BUT it does lack in "assassin's creed" lore. There is very little influence of the that continued story - although this will still be very relevant for the modern AC timeline and Layla Hassan's RPG series storyline. This gives you value as an AC player, but not super significantly so keep that in mind. If you care more about the old-style of assassin creed games, try your hand instead at the older games in the series or even Mirage (fun gameplay, but a particularly confusing overall story and perhaps one of the weaker 'assassin vs. templar' stories in the franchise) On 100 Completionist: This gives me mixed feeling. Ubisoft is notoriously a poorly received company for a plethora of reasons. Disappointingly among them, they often lack the insight on certain difficult achievements, bug fixes, or just... issues. If you INTEND to complete this game, then honestly just do areas at your own pace. I will recommend you actively SAVE often. I mean that with my whole heart too - sometimes things (especially in DLC areas) tend to bug out or not work properly. It's often that an NPC or Enemies pathing messes up and you have to redo a mission from scratch, or people can get stuck on the weirdest things. Mastery challenges in particular can be hair-pulling nonsense. So I'd recommend doing them near the end of a playthrough when you've gained a patience for the game. And space out perfecting each challenge. I can't tell you how many times I had to reset random nonsensical world quests or fights because the characters bug out and phase out of the map. And for some reason, this game crashes alot sometimes? Some sessions it will be perfectly fine on high or low end settings, but if it crashes once that day it's likely to crash multiple times in the same sitting. Take heed. On general gameplay: Pretty solid. Initially I liked all of the RPG games from AC because the combat is a little less rigid from normal AC games. Powers, abilities, different armor sets, bows, etc all come into play at different intervals. You'll find one of the best pairings for any weapon is duel-wielding spears. Trust me. Learn to parry early and if you aren't comfortable yet with dodging or parrying in the game then a shield is your go-to. As for skills, mix and match as you like and find what you love or hate. You can freely reset the VERY large skill tree at any point to try out new things. I recommend anyone and their mom gets the "brush with death' skill ASAP - every time you dodge an attack just in time time slows down for everyone but you. It's seriously a run saver on every aspect of the game. Raids are fun but upgrading your main base WILL take the entire length of the game, so don't worry to much on missing leveling up Ravensthorpe early. Get the early unlocks and just take your time with what you like first. On Game specs: My system is quite a bit older now and is getting up there in years. I never have the time to invest in better replacement parts. With that said, I'd say my system is either low-to-mid in terms of capabilities nowadays. And it could still run the game on most of its high end settings. Some settings are utterly useless and only manage to take up unnecessary space however, so depending on what your system can handle, you'll want to keep that in mind. 150GB is a LOT for a game. So know that it will be an investment if you decide to add it to your playable collection. On story: Like mentioned previously, the story of Valhalla puts the assassins and templars on the back burner (or in this early into the history, the hidden ones and order of the ancients). Mostly, you'll be dealing with independent and self-contained arcs from region to region as you aim to unite them under an allegiance with your clan. During this time, important characters like Sigurd and Basim motivate and compound relationships and plot-points. The influence of the Asgard three part saga also adds another layer of viking depth. You will LIKELY be confused as the order of each content is self-regulated. Meaning you can easily get too far into one aspect without getting context for the other. In fact, if there is one side activity I heavily recommend you finish BEFORE finishing the main game, it is the 10 anomaly's found sporadically across the region - they clarify optional lore that is very important to the end game story. The modern era gets a little bit more attention in this game as we dive into another near-cataclysmic event for their world. Personally, I didn't care so much for the modern updates in Origins or Odyssey. But Valhalla's was actually fairly entertaining and gave me hope for more story-centric plots in the modern day AC. If you care deeply for doing things in the correct order, there are plenty of guides that give you a rough idea of what is the 'canon' order for doing just about anything in the game. Overall: The game can be messy. You'll likely get upset here and there. Or the game will cheat you in some way or form. But it has plenty to do, lots to enjoy, and lots to say. As like any AC game, it's charm is found not in it's outer look, but 'hidden' deep way. Look closely and you can learn to appreciate the game like I had. And coming from someone who almost nearly refused to play this game the first time I picked it up because I had predisposed bias towards this very specific release, that should hopefully mean a lot. Take the game with a grain of salt, know that if you intend to tackle it full on you will need to take some time and effort, and learn most of all to just enjoy it - it IS a game after all. And for me? It was a pretty good one. 8.5/10
I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a little masochism. If you actually bought the game instead of pirating it, you get the unforgettable experience of using the Ubisoft Launcher in a single-player game. You have to remember yet another password, and you need a stable internet connection so Ubisoft can collect player metrics and potentially use that data for AI-related purposes. The licensed version also comes with the mandatory gift of Denuvo, which can treat you to occasional FPS drops. There is also an option to buy XP and silver boosters, allowing players to spend less time actually playing this masterpiece. The story feels disjointed, but at least there is a beautiful open world where you can complete repetitive quests and grind for hours. Pirates are spared from all these wonderful features, apart from the repetitive quests. Therefore, they unfortunately get a little less of the full masochistic experience.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was a game I had pretty mixed feelings about, but overall I’m glad I played it. It definitely has its problems, but there’s a lot here that I genuinely enjoyed. The biggest thing I liked was the world itself. England looks absolutely beautiful, and exploring it was one of my favorite parts of the game. Riding through the countryside, discovering new locations, finding random events and just wandering around made the world feel really alive. The Viking setting also works really well, and the whole atmosphere of settlements, raids and exploration is something I really enjoyed. The combat is another thing that I had a lot of fun with. It feels brutal and satisfying, especially when you start unlocking more abilities and different weapons. Dual wielding is probably one of my favorite additions, and there’s something incredibly satisfying about just running into a group of enemies and causing absolute chaos. The settlement system was also a nice touch. Building up Ravensthorpe and watching it slowly turn into an actual settlement gave me a reason to keep exploring and collecting resources. It made the world feel more connected to the progression instead of just being a huge map full of random activities. The story, however, is where I have more mixed feelings. There are some genuinely great characters and storylines, and I really enjoyed Eivor as a protagonist. But the overall pacing is inconsistent, and the game sometimes feels like it’s taking forever to get somewhere. There are definitely parts where the amount of content starts working against the game rather than helping it. And yeah, the biggest problem is probably the sheer amount of content. Valhalla is HUGE. At first that feels amazing, but after dozens of hours you can start feeling the repetition. There were definitely moments when I thought, “How is this game still going?” Some activities are fun, but others feel like they were added just to make the map bigger. Even with all of that, I can’t say I disliked my time with Valhalla. There’s something very satisfying about simply getting lost in its world, improving your character, upgrading your settlement and slowly building up your own Viking story. It’s definitely not my favorite Assassin’s Creed game, and I think it could have been much better if it was shorter and more focused, but I still had a good time with it. The world, atmosphere, combat and Viking setting carried the experience for me. I’d give Assassin’s Creed Valhalla around 8/10. A flawed and unnecessarily huge game, but one that I still enjoyed spending a lot of time with.
I must say I should have played Assassin's Creed Valhalla years ago. I listened to many reviewers who gave this game a big thumbs down, and now I feel that was a mistake. After finally playing it myself, I realized how different my experience was from what I had heard. The story is not overly complex, but it is emotional and engaging. The relationships you build and the choices you make give the journey a personal touch. I found myself caring about many of the characters and wanting to see how their stories would end. The game is packed with side activities. Some of them are incredibly addictive, while others did not click with me at all. Hunting legendary animals and solving mysteries across the world were easily my favorite activities. Every time I saw a mystery marker on the map, I wanted to know what was waiting there. On the other hand, I never really enjoyed Orlog, the Animus anomaly puzzles, or some of the repetitive raiding. Flyting challenges were fun occasionally, but not something I looked forward to. What kept me invested the most were the story arcs. They connect Eivor's journey from Norway to England and then to places like Ireland, Francia, Vinland, and beyond. Each region feels like its own chapter, with new characters, conflicts, and stories to experience. I also want to give special praise to the Asgard storyline. The way Valhalla adapts Norse mythology is beautiful. Exploring Asgard felt magical and completely different from the rest of the game. Seeing legendary figures, mythical events, and ancient prophecies brought to life was one of the highlights of my playthrough. The visuals, atmosphere, and sense of mystery made those sections unforgettable for me. Speaking of visuals, this game is simply gorgeous. Even years after release, it remains one of the most beautiful open-world games I have ever played. There were countless moments when I stopped what I was doing just to admire the scenery. Whether it was the snowy landscapes of Norway, the countryside of England, or the mythical beauty of Asgard, the world constantly amazed me. Combat is also enjoyable. The variety of weapons and fighting styles allows you to experiment and create your own approach. It feels satisfying, and I appreciated the new combinations and abilities that the game introduced. Overall, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful open-world games ever made. It has an emotional story, memorable characters, addictive exploration, and a world that is a joy to get lost in. I know many people criticize this game, and that's fine, but after playing it myself, I simply don't agree with them. Sometimes the best thing you can do is ignore the noise, play the game, and form your own opinion. That's exactly what I did with Valhalla, and I'm glad I finally gave it a chance.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a terrible AC game , but a pretty good Viking RPG . The whole time, it felt like Ubisoft desperately wanted to make their own CDPR's The Witcher 3, but had to keep the AC name on the box. The result is a game that sometimes works on its own terms, but often feels confused about what it actually wants to be. The most confusing moment of my ACV experience happened when I genuinely had to google whether I had already finished the game or not. The ending doesn’t feel like a proper ending. It doesn’t provide closure, it doesn’t leave a cliffhanger... it just stops. EVEN 6 YEARS LATER, THE GAME IS STILL BROKEN . It crashed every few hours during my playthrough. Movement, and especially parkour, feel stiff, with Eivor sometimes refusing to climb or even move forward properly. Like, I get he’s a Viking, but HОLY SHIТ . The game drove me mad with some of the most unintuitively hidden entrances to points of interest. At first, I’d circle the area in search of a solution, only to eventually look it up. And I’m not the only one with this issue. There are countless videos explaining where exactly you need to go to access certain areas. I call it bad design. Some design choices are unironically funny. Just listen: you play as a VIKING who regularly participates in RAIDS, but killing civilians leads to DESYNCHRONIZATION. I’m a big Vikings show fan, so this was almost the first thing that I noticed. A really annoying "feature" is treasure markers appearing prematurely before items spawn. Some NPCs occasionally address male Eivor in the feminine form while still calling him “brother”. I played the game in Russian, but apparently, this is a problem even in the English version. I’m not even going to ramble on about the collision and animation bugs, they come with the user agreement. To be fair, not everything is bad. One genuinely great feature is the one that lets you keep the appearance of your gear while upgrading its stats. Completing the game with the default Raven outfit added a lot of ambience, and you don’t have to change your setup every time you find gear with slightly better stats. The Wrath of the Druids (Ireland) and Siege of Paris (Francia) DLCs are totally worth playing, bringing fresh storylines, armor, and weapons. In the end, Valhalla works best when you stop thinking of it as an AC game. As a Viking-themed RPG with exploration, raids, and a huge world to wander through, it can be enjoyable
