Review of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

This game is just awesome! Being a huge consumer of AC games (I finished AC 1, 2, 3, Black Flag, Unity, Odyssey and have 100% Syndicate and Origins) I am not disappointed by this one! Firstly, it is simply magnificent, the most beautiful to date and having an entry-level gaming pc, it holds up with high / super high graphic settings at almost constant 30 fps. However, the game keeps the same recipe in its combat gameplay as AC Origins and Odyssey (which I personally enjoy but I know that not everyone does ) so make sure you enjoy this type of gameplay, the same goes for the infiltration phases, which are rarely encouraged, in favor of a frontal attack (which is great during strong attacks, but I still miss the infiltration mechanics that we used to find before). In terms of history, I do not have a titanic progression for the moment but I can still say that for the early game the missions are well written, even if of course they do not compete against a The Witcher 3 or AC 2. The vocal interpretation of Magnus Bruun (who plays male Eivor) is in my opinion more than perfect! Finally let's talk about the world, which remains the key point of the success of ubisoft open world. It is in my opinion incredibly well done, as much for its breathtaking large-scale landscapes, its huge Saxon towns as well as the smallest details of a small abandoned hut on top of a mountain in a Norwegian fjord, this world is quite simply beautiful and alive, and knows how to surprise us and arouse our curiosity and our thirst for discovery. To conclude, if you enjoyed the gameplay of Origins and Odyssey or if you want to get started in the world of AC, this game is for you and I recommend it 100% !! However, if you are a hardcore old AC fan and have doubts about the gameplay of recent AC games, you can go your way, even if you miss the opportunity to visit in my opinion one of the most beautiful open worlds that video games have ever known (purely personal opinion).
