There’s a duality to Viking mythos that makes it the perfect fit for Assassin’s Creed; both sets of lore rely on conflict between two opposing forces—fire and ice, good and bad, order and chaos. So while these latest titles have felt like a different take on the franchise, at its core the game still rests on the same themes. With so much to discover, characters with so much heart, and plenty of drinking competitions to win, it’s hard not to get whisked away to the green grasses of England on this Viking adventure.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is not better than its predecessors but it improved upon a lot of things that are already good in the series and did some wrong things as well, unfortunately, the game didn't provide an exceptional technical level but it was fun and appropriate for the fans of the new direction that the series is taking.

A few finnicky glitches here, a few difficulty problems there, and I'm still happy to call this game the best in the franchise since Black Flag in 2013 (ironically enough, the last title in the franchise to bridge the gap between generations). Assassin's Creed Valhalla proves that even the big big companies can find ways to bring tons of heart and charm to a cash cow franchise all while embracing its past and setting up for an exciting future.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is both recognizable and new. It has the huge, explorable open world, devotion to history, and drawing in an account that is the Assassin’s Creed trademarks.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an outstanding game. This is without a doubt the best installment of all three RPG parts and the top of the entire series.

With its much-improved stealth, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has won me over. This feels like the best AC in a long time. It gives you the choice on how you want to tackle your objectives, something Odyssey lacked if you wanted to stay in the shadows like the Assassins of old.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings the third party to next-gen and a party it is. Take on the story of Eivor and travel to Brittania to conquer the land piece by piece. The game looks amazing and contains new RPG elements like building your settlement, pillaging, and a huge new skill tree to strengthen yourself. The story is compelling at that, but the action pushes the assassination to the background. The game suffers from a few minor bugs, but nothing too serious. This is simply a must-play from day one!

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a game bursting with content, and for that it’s well worth the price of admission. It’s also a game that you’ll likely take time away from before finally reaching the ending.

With positive context, it’s an ‘another Assassin’s Creed game’. The visuals have definitely improved to follow suit with the latest generation of console. Can’t say that it has received any revolutionary updates since the prequel, but for the fans who were waiting for a ‘new Assassin’s Creed game’, it’s a good game that fills your satisfactory expectations nonetheless.

All of these elements make Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, whether you love it or hate it, make a complete open-world RPG package. Like any large vessel with multiple shipwrights, some decisions and elements weigh the game down, but I would go as far as considering this one of the best Assassin’s Creed titles to come around in a long time.

While the two previous entries took some daring and engaging steps into the RPG genre, it’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that truly stands out as not just the most refined of the trio, but as a top-drawer RPG in its own right.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a fun but flawed new entry in Ubisoft’s iconic action franchise, with a bloated campaign that wears out its welcome and a ton of bugs for players remaining on current-generation platforms. Still, what’s here is actually some of the most confident Assassin’s Creed content to date, with thrilling story beats, refined exploration, and enjoyable side content.

As a whole, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an enjoyable game filled with obvious artistry that ends up having its head clubbed in by repetition; 20-30 hours of this game is on par with or better than the best Assassin’s Creed games, but stretched over three times that, you’re afforded enough time to become familiar with (and develop contempt for) the numerous tiny faults that then snowball into problems.

Onto Valhalla itself. Despite a downgraded experience in 1080p, the game was a delight to play.

This game expands and builds off of the best parts of the newer Assassin’s Creed games and offers a gorgeous open-world RPG with a thoughtful and complex main story quest. The side quests and extra content encourage exploration of the different regions so that players really get to experience the masterfully created world in all of its glory.

"Assassin's Creed Valhalla" proves to be an exciting open-world game that is completely convincing, at least at first glance. With the Nordic-inspired Viking adventure, friends of the series can look forward to impressive locations and put their assassin skills to the test once again. Both the missions and the battles are perfectly adapted to the scenery and let the player dive deep into the Nordic world. However, "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" lacks a really gripping story, which was an important supporting structure in many predecessors. The graphics could also use some fine-tuning to make the setting seem even more realistic. Nevertheless, genre fans will undoubtedly enjoy "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" and can look forward to an assassin adventure of a different kind.
