Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath Of The Druids DLC | Don't WASTE Your Money

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Wrath of the Druids DLC released on May 13th, and while my expectations certainly weren't high I still was disappointed by this DLC. It has all of the problems from Assassin's Creed Valhalla's main game and then some, with some very glaring issues and lots of filler, copy and pasted content that make up a larger majority of the Wrath of the Druids DLC. I am pretty negative about the dlc in this video but it's all my opinion and if you like the Wrath of the Druids that is completely fine, I'm just simply stating how I felt about it, so there's no need to get angry or take offense if you disagree. If you enjoyed this Wrath of the Druids review or found it helpful I would really appreciate it if you considered dropping a like on the video and subscribing to the channel, and other than that thanks for watching and have a great day assassins!!!!

Origins is probably the last 'assassin' game ( somewhat). I played orgins and then odyssey back to back few days agon and I couldn't stand odyssey at all. It just feels so childish, cartoonish and just a witcher 3 knock-off. Origins despite it's flaws has such an environment and ambience that you just don't notice the hours that you have sunk into the game doing pretty much repetitive stuff. Despite being repetitive atleast the camps were designed in a way that many required different approach and some were legit challenges, like wall of the ruler.

I do agree with the fact that it somewhat has the feel of the base game, but not if you immerse yourself in the new gear and actually seek out to fight the new enemies.

As an Irishman who studied some ancient Irish history in university there is no evidence that there was a high king of Ireland, there were kings/chieftains who called themselves that and had poets call them that in songs as a form of propaganda and to boost their egos.

Valhalla is the first 'RPG' Assassin's Creed game I've played. Over 100 hours in and I feel like I'm nowhere near done with it. That being said, the setting of Wrath of the Druids has been a delight to me. I've come to desire an Assassin's Creed game set in ancient, perhaps pre-Christian Ireland. But seeing as useful and reputable information of the time is scarce, Ubisoft was brave enough to try to do the Irish setting justice, albeit in the time period they chose for Valhalla. My own preferences aside, the tangents in the Wrath of the Druids DLC are enough to keep my interest. It's not just a copied and pasted version of the base game. It does try to distinguish itself with the trading posts and whatnot, and to its credit, it does feel like a full expansion. The price isn't even an issue when you consider Wrath of the Druids was meant to be a stand-alone DLC. $25 isn't that bad when you're getting 20-30, if not more, hours, including all side content and collectables. For reference, that's about the same time it actually takes me to do a playthrough of Bloodborne (with Old Hunters DLC and decent Chalice Dungeon exploration). I paid more for the entirety of Bloodborne and its DLC than I did for that $25 -- and Bloodborne is actually a full game! I believe I bought my copy of the DLC at a discounted price, but even at the initial $25 price, you're getting more than your money's worth. To its credit, Wrath of the Druids I've done just about everything in the DLC, and even though it's tedious at times, the same can again be said for the base game. But even then, I feel like the collectables are more manageable than the main game, and aren't as big of a hassle. I'm about halfway through the main story arc of the DLC, but getting all the collectables and completing everything has just been easier to accomplish or tolerate imo. For that matter, I'm also over halfway done with the trophies that come with the DLC. All this, and for less time than I've done for the same level of completion in the main game. To get back on track, though Wrath of the Druids doesn't try to fix the problems that Valhalla had, and that's fine imo. I feel like these games get so much hate because they do bother to do something besides the somewhat overdone Assassins vs Templars cliches the series has become known for. I'm glad we got games in which the Dev teams were allowed to try new things, let alone DLC that facilitated their freedom to tell broader stories. The more we expect a series to stay the same, the quicker stagnation destroys it. I love the familiarity of the old games, but as someone who also loves RPG's, I've really enjoyed Valhalla and the DLC I've played thus far. I'm actually looking forward to doing the Siege of Paris DLC soon after I'm done with everything in Ireland. Maybe its all just preference, but I hope more people are able to give these games fairer and fairer chances, even long after Mirage and other games have come out. They may not be the best or the most akin to what we all know and love, but I still see them as pivotal points for the series. Valhalla may not be the best Assassin's Creed game, but its DLC is pretty on par for the quality and fun of the game, and I don't mean that in a negative way. The real pain in the ass is having to pay for helix credits, but that's its own thing entirely. Regardless, so many of the complaints made against Wrath of the Druids could easily be said about other Assassin's Creed titles. All of the games have been repetitive at this point, and the series itself has exemplified that in every game since AC1. You just notice it more in DLCs because they're tighter microcosms of the main game.

Price for things changes in 6 or 5 years. Some studios are trying to make $70 the new industry standard. But when comparing a good dlc you shouldn’t be comparing something that is made by a completely different company. Different people are working on those games.

If you enjoyed running around like a viking on crack to shoot cursed objects or open chests, congratulations, you get to do it all over again. Except this time? You're going against guys with super powers for the sole excuse of "Eivor was high."

Ubisoft is often bad about making their DLC’s just a bunch of busywork with no narrative payoff whatsoever. They do make decent expansions for some games but usually, all you really have to look forward to is either fetch quests, assassinations, basic puzzles, etc.

@@better6207 yeah the performance is great on Days Gone on PC they added few thing like further drawing distance and of course 60 fps which is just better. Also aming on PS4 seems kinda odd to me so when I played it with mouse it was just leagues better. Now to answer your question about the developers they said if players wanted to Days Gone 2 to be released they should buy the game on the release date and for a full price instead of waiting for sales and ps plus games and so on. Like its our fault their game was generic (at least for me from the beginning especialy) and filled with bughs and glitches at the beginning :) I am actually one of those people who kinda did not enjoyed Days Gone it was meh in my opinion. I am a gameplay guy so the story didnt bothered me much but also it didnt help that it gets moving after like 15 hours :). So I dont even care about there not being the Days Gone 2 and after what the devs said about us fucking it up I dont even care about anything else what Bend studio releases. If they made another game I will probably buy it on G2A if I even buy it and not just pirated it. And I buy all my games I have pretty great library for a lowclass income citizen here in our country :) but no matter what people should enjoy whatever they like 💪 and if you like the developer support it why not. That why I buy every single game from Ubi while the others I just shoot the deal with G2A :) I stopped buying Rockstar games until they seriously change their whole fucking gameplay section and mission structure. With always driving to marker to start the mission then drive to a mission start with your fellaz, then something going wrong so you have something to shoot while everything being so fucking slow and scripted it doesnt feels like an open world at all. If you want more info about it and you are bored try NakeyJakey and his Rockstar is outdated or something like that its so on point I cant even enjoy any rockstar game anymore xDDD

[@REBORNCENTRALGaming]

As an Irishman myself the base game itself was truly disappointing, riddled with bugs and issues from the beginning not to mention how horrible the combat felt. How they represented my country also ticked me off with how small they made it, I understand it needed to be condensed down however it just felt extremely rushed, smaller than needed to be and lifeless from what I have played of it so far. A true let down and an absolute devastating blow on my country and peoples representation for the first time (although in a DLC but with bugs etc) that I know many fellow Gaels were looking forward to. My gripes with the DLC was Eivor's cousin who had an Irish surname (Mac Ímair) Irish for Ivar who was the king of Dublin was called "the Boneless", no idea why this was left out yet The Steine was kept in which literally is in honour of Ivar the Boneless but I guess people like to argue they differ yet the annals align perfectly.
