AC Valhalla may not be the best of the series, but it is still a good game. In my opinion, only AC brotherhood and AC black flag are better than Valhalla. First, AC Valhalla bring back the old AC present day story mode. The ending of the present day was unexpected and it connected to AC brotherhood and AC3. That's pretty cool. Besides, there are a lot old AC "elements" came back in the gameplay too. I like the world quest so much, every quest is different and interesting.

Since playing about every Assassin's Creed game, well the ones that count as game's. Valhalla in my book is the best Assassin's Creed game i've played, Took about 2 weeks for me to complete the main story with not much attention to side quests. The raid's where one of my favorite parts of the game the first few went pretty rocky for me. This is a definite pick-up for any Assassins Creed lover as well as anyone who likes good old Viking lore. A few bugs here and there but nothing too much for loss of fun or game breaking.

I have two reviews to get through here and I'll make them as short as I can. Firstly my experience with the game on a custom built PC. I have a budget PC running on 16gb RAM, Ryzen 5 Processor and a AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics card. My game looks very pleasing and runs smoothly at 45 to 60 frames on the settings I have put on. I have had literally 3 bugs in the game and one consistent graphical glitch. The bugs are as follows; not being able to leave haystacks on occasion, being flung across England at mach 3 by Ivarr, and having my horse get stuck in the middle of the air and then killing me, the graphical glitch is a lightling glitch that happens in longhouses where it flickers like crazy. I personally reccomened gettting decent PC parts and finding the right settings for your pc to make your experience worth it. Other than that the game has been very fun and feels like the older games spirit has returned in a new engine. However my partner has a very different story to tell. She rates it a 4/10 and plays it on the Playstation 4. This game on PS4 is broken mess that should not be allowed to be played at all, even though the game hardly lets you play anyway as the loading screens are 6 minutes on average all the time even when resyncing or fast travelling, compared to my PC load times of 16 seconds to boot the game from the title and resyncing and fast travel takes 6 to 8 seconds. The game has an abundance of glitches ranging from graphical to down right game breaking and stopping. She has 102 hours in the game and after all the frustration and bugs and glitches she was not allowed to even finish the game due to a bug with the Order of the Ancients. If you hand in the medalions to Hythem before you have actually completed EVERY story quest you can no longer do the last quest and finish the game since the Order system gives too many tokens and Hythem believes you have already killed The Father (even if you haven't and spoils it in the process). This means you will have to return to a save before you handed them in which for completionists could be at least 20 hours of gameplay because of how stupidly easy it is to kill the members and you won't realise until you get at the final part of the game that there is no final part at all and this bug is hardly noticable when it happens until you get to the lack of an end. Thanks to this bug Hythem will NEVER trigger the final mission and better yet Ubisoft won't do anything about it right now. This is one of hundreds of bugs that she faced and her game crashed at least 3 times in a 5 hours session of gaming. The only thing she can say is alright is the story although it is predictable.

Full of bugs, some game breaking, some extremely jarring at game version 1.0.4 , which is another unfortunate black mark on a good idea, a viking saga - a missed opportunity mishandled by Ubisoft, further dragged down by frequent crashes
