There are far fewer cookie-cutter outposts than in previous AC’s, and most sidequests now offer an interesting story, sometimes even with a less-than-obvious solution. While some anti-grind measures have backfired, Ubisoft is on the right track. [Issue#250, page 56]
Assassins Creed Valhalla is a wonderful addition to the AC franchise. It manages to avoid the tropes that became overplayed and focuses on a small well structured story. The fighting mechanics are enjoyable and offer many choices to fit different playing styles. There are a significant amount of bugs and the AI is underwhelming at times. But it's still another step in the right direction for Ubisoft.

When Valhalla is at its best, it evolves series mechanics. And when you’re cruising down river, about to blow your raiding horn, there’s nothing quite like it. [Issue#183, p.71]

It starts off promising but falls off a cliff when you get to a certain point and then it's the usual Ubisoft slop that we all know so well, like the Isle of Sky arc, which is probably the dumbest and most pointless mission I've ever sat through in a game. Just stick with Odyssey.

This episod is a boring one in the AC story: the story itself is quite boring, the side quests are not interesting and the characters have no charisma.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is another success in the series. We love that it’s starting to look back at older, more classic elements of the franchise and finding ways to reimplement them in an ever-evolving, fresh feeling new game.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes the advancements of the series found in Odyssey and applies it to a whole new setting. As brutal as the period of Vikings is, there's something beautiful about this adventure. Every action is rewarded with some great moments of storytelling, and aside from a few narrative roadblocks tied to the player's level, there's an amazing world here just waiting to be discovered.

J’ai trouvé le jeu excellent du début à la **** est très répétitif mais cela n’empêche pas d’y prendre du plaisir .Le fait que l’on puisse se battre et être un assassin est très bien exécuté et l’histoire est plutôt bien écrite malgré des cinématiques vides en émotions.

If it sufficiently renews the experience of the saga thanks to a rich and functional overall design and an approach that should delight fans of the first hour, Assassin's Creed Valhalla also retains some stigmas of its predecessors that prevent it from aiming a little higher.

It is undeniable that the series is growing, and it’s admirable that the developers are willing to try new things. Overall, the experience works in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It’s not a perfect fit, yet, but there’s promise in the series future if they continue to head in a direction that has more RPG elements, and options for a direct approach. It also feels like a proof of concept that they can continue to attempt virtually any setting with a decent chance of success.

Those are minor nitpicks of course, and shouldn't take away from all of the things Valhalla does well. Valhalla builds one of the most immersive and lived-in worlds of the series so far and expertly ties in all of its various mechanics and elements into one delightfully fulfilling experience. It delivers thrilling action and a gratifying narrative while also giving older concepts like the settlement the impact on gameplay they should have always had. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is yet another captivating chapter in the story of the Assassins, and you won't want to leave this warrior's world anytime soon. Skal indeed.

Valhalla once again proves that ubisoft's chosen path for Assassin's Creed may not be appealing to the old fans of the series, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the series have developed into a solid RPG franchise. Still, Valhalla shows that the series is still far from completion, as there are several obvious shortcomings in combat gameplay and AI, along with some visual problems.

Vikings may be a promising starting point, but Valhalla is aimless and bloated beyond recognition, making for a dull and par for the Norse installment in the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla es, hasta ahora, el título más sólido y ambicioso de la saga en términos visuales. Sus gráficos, la profundidad de su ambientación nórdica y la riqueza de su mitología marcan un hito que supera claramente a entregas anteriores. Valhalla ofrece un mundo abierto diverso, con paisajes bellísimos, logrando una inmersión que pocos juegos de la saga han alcanzado. Sin embargo, pese a estos avances, las mecánicas siguen siendo su talón de Aquiles. Lamentablemente, Valhalla no escapa de los errores que han plagado a Ubisoft durante años, bugs persistentes (muchos heredados de títulos previos), una IA que a veces falla en tareas básicas como calcular un "salto de fe" o mantener la lógica en movimientos de personajes, y una sensación de frustración al enfrentar situaciones absurdas, como caer fuera de un carro de heno a pesar de seguir las indicaciones correctamente. Estos detalles, que ya eran criticables en juegos anteriores, no solo no se resuelven, sino que generan desconfianza en la capacidad de la desarrolladora para aprender de sus propios errores. En cuanto a la historia, aunque es más coherente que Odissey , no alcanza la grandeza narrativa de clásicos como Black Flag o Revelations. Lo más destacable sigue siendo el mundo abierto, vasto, variado y cuidadosamente diseñado. Contrario a críticas que señalan exceso de naturaleza vacía, hay suficientes ciudades y ruinas para explorar, consideremos que Venecia no cubre ni el 25% de lo que es un solo mapa de este juego. Aquí surge mi mayor crítica: Valhalla se aleja tanto del espíritu original de Assassin’s Creed que cuestiono si merece llevar ese nombre. La inclusión de múltiples finales, la elección de género para Eivor (justificada como un "error del Animus") o habilidades sobrenaturales (como invocar lobos o encender armas) rompen con la esencia de la serie. Los juegos anteriores basaban sus mecánicas en la historia, los recuerdos eran eventos fijos, no modificables. Permitir decisiones que alteren el destino de personajes históricos diluye la conexión con el Animus como herramienta narrativa. El combate, eso sí, ha mejorado respecto a Odissey. Se eliminó el molesto "spawn" infinito de enemigos y la hostilidad indiscriminada de civiles y hasta de animales. Además, la flexibilidad en la jugabilidad (elegir entre Eivor masculino o femenino) se disculpa con una excusa técnica, pero siento que es innecesaria. ¿Por qué no simplemente presentar a Eivor como mujer desde el inicio, sin justificaciones externas? La mayoría de los jugadores no se aferran al canon, y esto solo genera confusión. Valhalla es un juego visualmente asombroso, con un mundo abierto imponente, pero sus mecánicas siguen siendo inconsistentes y sus cambios narrativos alejan a la saga de su identidad original. Por ello, aunque lo disfruté, creo que debería haberse etiquetado como un spin-off (Valhalla: Una Historia de Assassin’s Creed ) para preservar la esencia de la franquicia.

After the Odyssey this one leaves a bitter taste. Nicely done. Colorful playing, good dynamics, however the history does noy follow the epoch story.
