Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - Xbox One, Xbox Series X

For me this is the best AC in years. The world is massive and packed with endless things to explore and accomplish. On the series X the game is jaw dropping, an absolute beauty. The gameplay is fantastic, its more gritty/heavy than previous years and it feels great. Stealth is still a big part of the game if you want it to be. If you like massive worlds, incredible detail, a decent story and rpg elements I would buy this game.

After putting so much time into the game I could finally state my opinion on this game. If you love big games with much to do then this game is for you. The story was good but not Assassin's Creed 2 good. Game-play wise was fun as it was easy to adjust to its combat. If you love Norse mythology and gritty combat (like myself) then I suggest for you to buy this game! Wait for the season pass though, as we have yet to see what is to be offered in terms of mechanics and such.

The game was for my grandson for Christmas. He likes the game but I think it's hard for him as he is 9 but into gaming! It was hard and he needs help getting through it. He is great with all games but this was by far a hard game for his age. I know it's intended for older kids or teens but because he is smart and knows how to play I figured no problem. I didn't want to get it because of type of game and his age but anyways I got what he asked for and it is a harder game which is more for older kids! Still happy with purchase.

Love love love this game! I have been an avid Assassins creed fan since the 1st one came out on the 360. The series X graphics update gives it the smoothness of a next-gen console experience. I have well over 120 hours in this game without 100% all of the side quests. It takes all of the great advancements from Origins and Oddesy and takes it up another level.

love this game, zero to download and thats great bc I don't play online and hate having to download 100gigs for some games just to play campaign. so glad I pre-ordered this game! highly recommend

Gift for my grandson for Christmas. When he saw it, he jumped up and ran into his bedroom.....not seen until dinner 5 hours after. I think it's a HIT!

I have mixed feelings about this game. My love for Vikings keeps me coming back to this game. However it is not without its flaws. The game at times can seem very bloated with to many different things going on. The raiding seems separate from the story mode instead of flowing together. As beautiful as the game is it has a lot of bugs that take you out of the action. Youll find ourself in hidden behind bushes from bad camera angling as an Enemy is finished off by a critical strike. I spent hours with a axe stuck in my hand that wasnt equipped to my character and it would fly in and out before and after cut scenes. The game also crashes and freezes a lot. Dont get me wrong theres a lot to like about the game and could be great with some updates.

the graphics are great, the game play is choppy and the story is a bit non existent. havent played the whole game yet but not super impressed by the hype.

Another example of a rushed video game that is not ready for gameplay. I put in 25 hours only to have the game stop saving for hours twice and a litany of glitches with quests. If Ubisoft put in the time to polish this game off I would have loved it, instead I have to return it out of frustration

If you are looking for a game with a structured story line that allows you to play the part of a clear protagonist then look past AC (Assassins Creed) Valhalla as you will not find that here. If you like the idea of your primary requirement for progression being to raid, kill and pillage innocent villages and monasteries and burn down the cottages of suffering villagers then by all means this is the game for you! In addition you also get the choice to have an affair with the wife of your best friend and adopted brother. Super! It really makes you feel like a genuine hero... =-/ I gave up hope on the AC series after AC Unity. I tried to give the series a chance again with Odyssey and Origins but was unimpressed. That being said, I liked the story of both WAY better then Valhalla. Despite my negative opinion of the AC series recently, after seeing awesome commercials and reading rave reviews I had a renewed hope for the series and decided to get the game. After 50 hours playing the game waiting for things to make sense, provide a sense of purpose and for the story-line to evolve into one where the main character Eivor becomes a good guy I came to the realization that was never going to happen and here I am writing this review. The final straw for me was when a Viking comrade (Ivarr) tricks you (Eivor) into attacking an opposing king (After a Peace deal was made) by framing that opposing king for the murder of a mutual friend . Ok, whatever, I can deal with that you gotta come up with creative reasons to fight big battles... After all, its just a game. The part that absolutely disgusted me is after the battle you are forced to standby while Ivarr tortures the King (who had previously bested Ivarr in a battle and let Ivarr go instead of killing him). No matter what you decide for in game choices (1 - Let the king go, 2 - Let him die from his wounds, 3 - Ok Ivarr do w/e it is you want to do to the king) the game ends up with you watching Ivarr torture a guy for something he didn't do. Furthermore, Ivarr is the one who framed the king and actually killed the mutual friend. If your like me your wondering what the point of in game choices are if they don't effect the outcome. Clearly the choices are superficial. That's lame... Final note - If you may find yourself offended by consistent smears, comments and attacks on the christian faith throughout this game I would advise you to avoid AC Valhalla. Thank you UBISoft for taking a fantastic series that began with Altaïr and Ezio dragging it through the mud while simultaneously riding its coat tails. The quality Story, Cinematic Cut Scenes, Fighting Style, Stealth requirement and Character/Plot development I came to know and love in the AC series seen in Altaïr and Ezio's time is gone and clearly it is not coming back.
