    While it stumbles greatly in execution, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - Dawn of Ragnarök reignites the magic of the main game with a vast realm to explore and myriad secrets to discover using the new Hugr powers. It’s still a ton of fun, just don’t expect the story to be all that coherent.

    With Dawn of Ragnarok, Ubisoft has finished the Assassin's Creed Valhalla-arc, and it does so with style. Players can explore a huge new world and use new powers, which add a whole new layer to the gameplay. Besides the storyline there is plenty to do in Svartalfheim. The world does feel a bit repetitive at times and the price tag of the DLC is a bit high, but for fans of Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok is certainly worth it.

    Dawn of Ragnarök could have given us new items in shops, different resources to gather and craft with (though you can upgrade gear to a new tier, which is a nice addition) and more fun with its economy. And while there are differences to what we’ve already played through in the base game and its other two expansions, they don’t make the experience different enough. That said, however, the story here can’t be faulted, nor the treatment of the sagas and history of the Vikings and Norse myth, which is Dawn of Ragnarök’s best element.

    Dawn of Ragnarök outlines a new era for Valhalla. This DLC brings relevant and consistent novelties that really change the gameplay. Add to that an engaging epic narrative, a spellbinding new world, and a healthy dose of Norse mythology, and you have the best expansion Eivor has ever seen. Ubisoft had a nose in betting on the power of Odin and Nordic myths. However, we would have just liked a little more scope to enjoy a mythological epic worthy of Valhalla.

    Dawn Of Ragnarok is an extremely ambitious expansion that could be categorized as a stand-alone game. With a significant playtime that fluctuates between some very funny and somewhat tedious, the gameplay can be very unique and immersive.

    If you sill want more Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok is perfect for you. It brings new fantasy world, new enemies, but mostly same gameplay.

    While Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok has some brilliant ideas, it's far from the epic expansion that you'd want it to be. It's hampered by reused mechanics and a story that's woefully disconnected from your main character's arc.

    Thank you Ubisoft for releasing another fun, entertaining video game, that doesn't have bosses that take 7 hours to beat. While otherThank you Ubisoft for releasing another fun, entertaining video game, that doesn't have bosses that take 7 hours to beat. While other companies release just boring, outdated games (Horizon, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring), i knew i could rely on Ubisoft releasing something that is actually fun to play. Some whiners say all the time "huh Ubisoft should learn from other companies" ummm no. It's the other way around. Other companies should learn from Ubisoft, how to make actually fun games. Expand

I bet Ubisoft haters are those same losers who think that Elden Ring is most innovative game of all time, 2013 graphics and 2016 combat, "innovative at it's finest". Ubisoft at least tries. Expand

Por un lado, a nivel de juego tiene algunas innovaciones interesantes, como lasDawn of Ragnarok acaba en un punto intermedio para mi gusto. Por un lado, a nivel de juego tiene algunas innovaciones interesantes, como las habilidades que tienes como Odin, pero también tiene algunas cosas muy frustrantes (especialmente algunos bossess y la continua presencia de fuego). Pero sobretodo es cuestión de trama, porque la historia en si no está mal, pero en realidad no aporta nada a la historia del juego. Lo cual empeora teniendo en cuenta que, como siempre ocurre cuando juegas con Odín, lo cierto es que no se siente para nada que estés jugando con un Dios ya que tiene las mismas habilidades, equipo y todo que Eivor (y si juegas con el Eivor masculino como yo, incluso la misma skin en todo momento). Con lo cual se pierde la oportunidad de contar más de la historia de Odin en el universo de AC y tampoco se consigue que uno se sienta que está jugando con un Dios/Isu.

    Gráficamente y a nivel de diseño está bastante bien, y el mapa es razonablemente grande y tiene poco que grindear. El sonido cumple como siempre, la nueva variedad de enemigos es bienvenida, así como el nuevo equipo y la posibilidad de subir equipo antiguo a nivel divino.

    Pero no tengo nada claro que todo esto valga la pena y no sea una oportunidad desperdiciada. Por eso acabo a medio camino, sin tener muy claro cómo sentirme al respecto. Sin duda, lo que está claro es que no vale el precio que tiene, si te interesa más AC, espera a que esté rebajado. Un 5

I don't want to play this game. This is squalor. Ubisoft all disappeared. A delusional plot, just an unreal schizophrenic plot, I would say. You promised something completely different. Where is Asasin Creed? Why are you doing such crap. How can you try it for such an overpray. The add-on is not worth a single grain of its money. 40 dollars for running for 15 hours to beat enemies and collect activity. You just stupidly copied everything from the main game, and stuffed it into the time of Odin. Shame, Ubisoft, close your divisions and the whole company already. Stop burying a wonderful series in the **** Expand
