Assassin's Creed Valhalla

You can't kill children. Not only that you can't even kill civilians. Do not recommend

Probably the most divisive game of the AC series, but well worth your time — the trick is understanding before going in what you're actually getting... Is this a good AC game? No. It's not really about stealth, although you CAN play it that way (I prefer a stealth approach, and it works well enough situationally). AC Valhalla is, however, a top drawer action RPG — it absolutely nails the Viking fantasy, and then some, and THAT is the reason you should play. The game is not without it's problems — the Ubisoft patented Things-to-Do® approach to open world gaming can be a little draining, but it's skippable if it isn't your bag. My main issue with game is the approach to the Norse mythology — the changes made shift the stories away from their meaning, and it's just to present certain figures in a certain way (to suit the narrative). The binding of Fenris is the example that bothers me most — the original story has Tyr make a noble sacrifice, fully knowing he is tricking the wolf and willing to pay the price for it, but the game presents it as though Tyr himself is deceived, and this weakens the story, as it casts the Gods in a much more negative light. The eddas are full of valuable messages on how to approach life — nobility, fealty, compassion, fidelity, justice, honour, integrity, fairness, etc, etc, etc, but this plays second fiddle in the game to the broader story of the Isu, and of necessity the God's characters have been warped out of true to better fit the established lore. It sits badly with me, and is a sour note in an otherwise excellent game.

OK so this is a review which tells for whom this game is for and for whom it isn't. WHO SHOULD AVOID: 1) If you want a short gaming experience presumably 20-35 hrs then this game is not for you. 2) If you want every mission and quest to feel different and can't handle repetitveness. 3) If you want super detailed npc's with whom you can interact with and are expecting cities or towns to be witcher 3 level. 4)If you want the best story rdr2 or god of war level then sorry. 5) Who expect the core elements of assasin's creed then sorry this isn't a good "assasin" game. FOR WHOM IS THIS FOR : 1) If you are a laid back casual gamer who like long experiences then yes sir. 2) This game's "repetitiveness" is very similar to ghost of tsushima so it isn't that bad. 3)For people who absolutely love massive open worlds with stunning beauty , scale and serenity. 4) For people who like a heavy but satisfying combat. 5) People who want a good viking game. Note: This game is still riddles with bugs but doesn't make it too worse, also in some areas there is a little bit of clunk but it is one of the most polished ubisoft games. The story is a solid 7 out of 10 not too great but compliments the gameplay. Overall great game if you are the right audience.

Йобана ♥♥♥♥♥♥, я потратив на це дерьмо більше 100 годин гри, сюжет- хуйні. Дальше спойлери- з ніхуя ейвор вирішив зрадити брата, брат же йобнувся. Нічого не ясно. Кінцівка, ну ♥♥♥♥♥, я на тебе обідився, ти вбив когось з моїх, аяяяй. Все, більле нічого. Два слова про геймплей "Фарми ♥♥♥♥". Більше нічого, ну і відкритий світ, локації майже всюди повторюються, ніхуя тут немає. Я жалію лиш про те, що моє бажання закінчувати ігри існує. Про те, яка тут костомізація- мовчу. Все було добре до першого різнокольорового сету, сет гавна одним словом. Я купив цю гру по скидці у 81 гривню, і чесно, я б краще взяв шаурму від Ашота, пісял цього провів нічне рандеву з унітазом,і від того було б більше користі. Висновок: ось що буває, коли у більш-менш нормальну студію взяти 100кг феміністку-транса-негра і врахувати його думку, гра, через яку хочеться закрити ту компанію ♥♥♥♥♥ і спалити хату кожному працівнику, хто хоч трохи доклав своїх зусиль туди( за тих, кого примусили і заплатили мовчу, норм мужики, надіюсь не підори). Все, не грайте в цю ♥♥♥♥♥, не робіть моїх помилок

good game but need a lot of time to complete and things can get repitative so if you burn out fast this might not be the best game for you

先骂为敬： 那个死妈闪退问题能不能优化一下了，另外育碧服务器总连不上不该维护一下你那个破土豆吗 正经说游戏问题： 战斗系统设计得很好，击中反馈很明显，处决动画暴力爽快，总结仨字战斗爽 装备系统和技能点系统自由度很高，可以自由发展自己的战斗风格，成长反馈也很好，这点好评 支线各种世界事件也都很有意思，有出人意料的惊吓，也有七国时代英格兰乡村的小民温情 但主线剧情同质化严重，尤其是游戏前中期英格兰各郡结盟的剧情，大差不差的路子，越到后面越无聊，直到回到围绕西格德的剧情才有所改善 另外，全图到处都是解谜、门闩之类的东西导致全收集的时间成本很高，很恶心人，拉低了游戏体验，请不要再学习宫崎英高了！ 总体来说可以好评，毕竟是前作系列的集大成之作，育碧也有用心投入，依旧无双战斗爽！

I loved AC Odyssey and Origins. In fact, Odyssey was probably my favorite AC game, along with Black Flag, having played all of them multiple times. But Valhalla felt really overwhelming yet boring. The world is big, the quests are endless, but it never convinced me to fully immerse myself in the game and be invested in the story. Now 72 hours later, I still haven't beat the game. I will, but it just doesn't feel rewarding anymore, if it ever did from the start.

After having played more of the AC titles, I find this release to be quite unpolished. Nothing feels fluid. Simple acts like picking up loot, speaking to an NPC or mounting a horse can take several attempts and repositions. The game has been prone to crashes. All of this said, I've continued to play. It's not the worst thing ever. The game is playable, but if it was my first foray into the AC franchise, I likely wouldn't have stayed with it or played more titles.
