- Assassin's Creed Valhalla sees the long-running franchise at an absolute high point. A much tighter, more refined and narrative-focused experience, it learns lessons from other recent open world efforts, removing much of the series' tedious open-world busywork and channelling its players through a genuinely excellent and intriguing adventure. There's still plenty of exploring, looting and collecting to be done here but it's so much more engaging, full of fun puzzles and atmospheric treasure hunts that make the downtime between story arcs all the more rewarding. This is Assassin's Creed looking and feeling better than ever.
PJ O’Reilly · Jan 09, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Crossover Stories is a fun chunk of new things to do that recaptures the magic of the base game for a moment. It's short, fun, and free.

PJ O'Reilly · Jun 15, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a great-looking open-world game with impressive landscapes and cinematography. However, the checklist collectible open-world still needs some work to feel truly engaging, and combat is too tedious and too frequent to be compelling. As a lapsed fan of Assassin's Creed trying to see if I can click with the series once again, Valhalla didn't quite hook me as I was hoping it would.
Adam Vitale · Apr 05, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Assassins Creed Valhalla is a lot of fun and easy to sink dozens of hours into. It is the best entry in the more recent trilogy and genuinely elevates the gameplay mechanics. Content could be considered somewhat bloated still, but it is diverse enough and the setting and story is solid most of the way through.
Chad Norton · Jan 10, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - This weird, batshit crazy ending has brought some new life to Assassin’s Creed for me. It was nice to see throwbacks to the original trilogy, including a direct reference to ACII. Your mileage may vary on Stadia, but if you haven’t picked up on any platform already, you should. Especially with the deals going on right now.
Joseph Saulnier · Dec 23, 2020 Reviewed onRead full review - It may sound like I've been constantly ripping into Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but it's more complicated than that. I love the world and exploration, and I love that Ubisoft made a concerted effort to address many people's issues with Odyssey. I love that I don't get constantly blindsided by over-leveled mercenaries, I love that assassin missions have death cut scenes, and there are so many side stories to explore. It just doesn't come together as well as it could.
Andreas Salmen · Dec 09, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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.
Callum Williams · Dec 08, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla refined the new RPG formula started in Origins and improved in Odyssey. However, in an attempt to fix Odyssey’s shortcomings, the developers went too far to the opposite extreme in terms of progression. Despite it, the game remains a treat both for the old fans and the newcomers to the series, bringing along a great protagonist, fantastic - if sometimes incoherent - story, living open world and refined gameplay.
Catherine Daro · Dec 07, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Assassin's Creed Valhalla does require a great deal of dedication to obtain the best gear and experience the best stories but it's all worth it. This is a Viking adventure that burns slowly and benefits for it. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is exactly what this franchise needed and takes vast leaps forward for this franchise.
