    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the best open world RPG this year. It’s colorful locals are a joy to discover, combat and stealth feel deep and rewarding, and there’s a viking hoard of things to do.

    Valhalla is a truly authentic Viking experience, and quite possibly the best and most complete Assassin's Creed game in the series' current "Open-World RPG" phase.

    Everybody has their Assassin's Creed. Mine might still be the pirate's life in Black Flag. But Valhalla is basically Vikings vs. knights, filling out the other two sides of my personal trifecta. The assassinations might've gone soft, but the northern European world building hits hard.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla provides a gorgeous playground to explore with excellent combat. Though the story seems unnecessarily long, it's a fun Viking tale mixed with the series' own flare and sci-fi elements.

    Assassins Creed Valhalla is a lot of fun and easy to sink dozens of hours into. It is the best entry in the more recent trilogy and genuinely elevates the gameplay mechanics. Content could be considered somewhat bloated still, but it is diverse enough and the setting and story is solid most of the way through.

    Ubisoft did what had to be done, made the game easier in some respects, tweaked some details and added others. As a whole, even with all its deficiencies, the game is a joyous place to spend your time in.

    Even without the Aegean sparkle of Odyssey, this is an idyllic tapestry for Ubisoft’s artists. This sunlight streaming through the clouds, bathing rich greed fields and vine-covered ruins and burgeoning cathedrals in its golden benediction! Ubisoft’s artists are to open world games what Richard II is to words, and their talent shines throughout Valhalla’s England: this sceptered isle, this earth of majesty, this other Eden, demi-paradise, this little world, this precious stone set in the silver sea, this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. So what if it’s not as good as Odyssey? I’ll take it!

    It's rare when i don't feel that i lost my money buying a game. There's always this "maybe i shouldn't", but not with this one. I'm actually addicted.

Despite all the tiny bugs and terrible lip sync, it has perfected the Open World Formula and created what I believe is The Best Open World Game.

    Every single Feature feels incredible and sailing around with your Longship to Raid monasteries to get resources so you can build and upgrade your settlement is such a great grinding system. There is not 1 boring thing in this game. My absolute favorite thing is to upgrade my Gear and Weapons because not only is it super hard to find the rare Ingots, but each time you upgrade they get an improved look and you never really know what to expect so its kinda like opening a Christmas Present. And speaking of gear and weapons, this game has some of the best looking outfits and weapons I have ever seen in any games.

    As a Norwegian I have been dreaming of a Viking Game my entire life and somehow Ubisoft manages to nail nearly every single wish i had for the Game. This is The First Open World AAA Viking Game ever created and I am honestly really happy that Assassin's Creed is the one.

    This Game gives me the same feeling that Skyrim gave me when it first came out, a feeling that I never thought I would feel again. You can go to do a specific thing and then all of the sudden 5 hours have passed and you are at the other side of the map without even touching a single Main Quest.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla will always have a special place in my heart and as much as I would love for them to make a Sequel I know that will not happen so I would very much like to see a Year 2 Pass or even better, a spin-off game with Online.    … Expand

Then, went to bed. The next morning when I went to go play again, I couldn't get past the loading screen. Nothing changed, nothing updated. It just decided to stop working. I tried everything from rebooting, closing background apps, re-installing, etc. Not worth the money until developers start releasing games that actually work on launch.… Expand
