Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm 80 hours into Valhalla and I can easily say that it's the best AC game I've played to date. It ditches most of the old and outdated AC tendencies for new, refined, and engaging open-world gameplay. Pros: - Literally breathtaking map and graphics. - Engaging story, enjoyable characters. - Intuitive gameplay - Excellent historic perspective of Norse mythology. - You can get a cat for your raids. Cons: - It feels like someone dropped the skill tree. - The combat, especially in the beginning, is meh. - Has some technical glitches still.

This is a beautiful game, and it runs smooth as silk on the Xbox Series X. It has all the trappings of an AC game ... assassinations, lots of climbing and jumping, hacking and slashing galore, endless dots on the map to explore and loot, tracking down illusive agents of a secret order, and the irritating present-day story line that pops up when you’d rather be blowing your Viking horn to launch a bloody raid on another unsuspecting abbey. But the same time, it looks and feels like like I’m navigating Geralt of Rivia through an alternative Norse existence ... minus all the skin (miss you, Triss). The life of a pillaging Viking invader bears little resemblance to the shadowy life of a member of an assassins order... and I’m fine with that. Medieval England before many of the remnants and ruins (real or imagined) of the Romans Emire were buried or knocked over is glorious, and the gameplay is wonderful. You will love the journey.

Awesome game. Assasin's Creed Viking version. Graphics are awesome, gameplay is great, I believe this is the biggest open world they have ever created. I got this on sale, $20 totally worth it.

I have played my fair share of open world games through the years. AC Valhalla is, by my estimation, the largest open world RPG that I have ever played. Having clocked in over 40 hours of game play, I have only completed about 25% of the game apparently!!! To say there are plenty of things to do in this game would be an understatement. If you are into Vikings and Norse Mythology, then this game is definitely up your alley. The graphics and sound are excellent. Overall game play and control layout is good enough. In the time I have played it so far, it crashed on my only once. Fortunately, the autosave feature saved the day. I also had to deal with an annoying bug which I could not figure out a workaround for until I came across an online posting that advised me to change the gender of my character for a bit so that I can finally access a certain mission (search for a person type of mission) and complete it. Thank goodness for online forum posts! Overall, a very good AC game.

I’ve played every Assassins Creed since Brotherhood. It‘s fantastic how the series continues to evolve. Valhalla is an evolution from the previous two titles with its RPG-lite mechanics yet its bigger and in fresher more densely packed environments. Why I was initially saddened to leave the beautiful snow capped mountains of Norway I was soon pleasantly surprised with the very vibrant almost Witcher-esque fantasy environment of the 9th century British Isles. The fog, lighting and shading so beautiful I thought it had ray tracing. While some of the combat and actual task can get a little bit repetitive they do a good job of changing it up as each region has its own storyline and different objectives. The raids are a nice touch. The base game is nice and long yet holds my interest. The cinematics and scripted parts are very well done, as I come to expect from this enduring series.

This is an incredible game. I bought it to have something that would showcase the graphical power of the series X; a month later, this game has emerged as the front-runner as the best new game of this new console generation. I've played the first five Creed games (AC 1, 2, Revelations, Brotherhood, AC 3), but haven't played any of the middle of the series, where it starts to evolve. I was floored not only by the presentation of this title (it looks AMAZING), but also by the writing, the mechanics, the gameplay loop, the breadth of content. I never would have imagined that this would end up being one of my favorite games of the last five years. Do yourself a favor and get lost in it.

So far my favorite entry in the Assassins Creed series. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is so deep. The huge open world map provides endless hours of fun. Buy this game!

Love the assassins creed franchise and this game doesn't disappoint. Have only played the game for a few hours so far but game play is solid. Graphics look great and combat is fluid not choppy like I felt in origins more so like odyssey. The ability to switch between the male and female lead based on current objective and play style is very unique but needs a little refinement I would recommend sticking with one character then playthrough with the other. If you are a fan of the series this game is a must, if this is your first experience with the assassins creed games maybe wait until its on sale for around $40 if you are unsure.

The Assassins Creed series becomes more refined with each release. Popping this into a new Xbox Series X will treat the user to outstanding graphics and fun game play. Of note is the short load times. Past Creed games will have the user running in circles during the loading screen, that time is cut down to a few seconds of running around now before the level starts. Different regions are loaded seamlessly in the background with no stutter. Game play is boring at first as your character is very weak and can not pull off any special moves, but through upgrades you learn the ways of the Assassin and game play picks up. There are extremely challenging missions from the get go if you are willing to try but most of your time will be taken up with adventure and leveling up. Boat mechanics work well and the ability to raid villages is a new dynamic.

Fantastic way to journey into the Viking era. Doing away with side quests and replacing them with fun activities is just amazing. Visuals and story are stunning!

Great game! Purchased this for my husband for his birthday and he is a big gamer that takes the time to do all the side missions. The game changes depending on the decisions you make, so he played beat it eventually by letting his character be one way, but I know I got my money's worth because he will eventually play it again and make completely different decisions to see how the game changes. He is an avid player and the game took him quite some time. The map is quite large and there are a lot of missions. It is definately worth the money!

Great game! Buy it! I’m not a huge fan of rpg style games but i find this to be really enjoyable due to the good story, graphics, and gameplay.

This is a good Assassin's Creed game and an even better Vikings game. Fans of this time period in history should be especially happy with this one. I am one of them and definitely find this game very fun to play. We need more games like this one. The gameplay and graphics are great and the overall package is worth the price of admission. If you can find this one on sale for the holidays, it's an even better purchase!

Just startedbut love the game so far. The action is great and the story interesting. No glitches or issues encountered.

Great gameplay from this game so far. The graphics and story have been nice so far and I would recommend purchasing if you haven’t already.

Beautiful game, with an expansive world to explore. Combat is an improvement on the excellent system from the previous game, but stealth is a less viable option than before. Easily 80-100 hours long,

Best AC game I’ve played in awhile. I’m playing this on the Xbox series x and The story, gameplay, and graphics are all top notch.
