[@shayanraghib107]

Funny how people don't call the rpg games as assassin's creed while these games literally gave all the information on isu about which we had very limited knowledge. You are utterly mistaken if you consider ac games to be related just with the creed coz the entire jest of this series is to protect the world from the solar flare. This is what forces the modern day assassin's to go back in time (memories) to discover how the isu tried to prevent the solar flare. For people who say that how is odin related to ac, well if you paid attention you would have understood that odin was an isu but since Eivor doesn't know about the isu like basim or sigurd, He recalls the memory of odin according to the norse myth. The entire story of ac from the og days till the rpg has been written brilliantly, connecting every dots but I do understand that not everyone have that much of patience to try and understand such a complex and rich story

[@armyofuno8196]

I had no idea what the story was about, but this actually sounds kind of cool

I don't understand this concept. The game ties in to AC. So they're not obligated to make it a new ip they could but there was no reason why they should. AC has always been about the ancient war and the three parties in that war not just the assassins. We've played as templars before. We've had games fully focused on templars. Valhalla is about the isu as well as the origins of eagle vision. It actually makes less sense for it to be its own thing than it being what it is. A side chapter of the AC story.

[@shayanraghib107]

Also the stealth in ac valhalla is great only if you are skilled enough to stay undetected and know how to use the special adrenaline abilities to the advantage of stealth. So for people who complain that stealth is non existent in this game are basically people aren't skilled enough. Initially I had the same complaint but with time it grew on me and now I know exactly how to use the raven to know where the targets are and study the environment to take down the enemies, use of smoke, berserker, poison arrows, distracting enemies with raven or playing dead ability. If you complain that you are bad in ac valhalla then just know that you aren't made for games like the new hitman series. In the end I'm just gonna say that grow up and try to enjoy things the way they are, when you are trying something new, be unbiased and give it a go and love your efforts you put in your videos ❤.

[@jamesjohn8740]

Great points. Im glad someone recognizes that you can actually do stealth in this game. I will say when i played unity i felt that was a little better but that game is catered towards stealth. I totally agree though when you started using other abilities and armors and weapons in terms of stealth it challenges you more-so. One of the problems is that players got used to dual axes and raven armor for most of the game, and never attempted to try new stuff.

[@UndeadCheetah]

Sorry for the 4 month late reply but you're partially correct. Stealth is _mostly_ viable in the game but there are plenty of times when the game either forces you out of stealth for no reason other than "story" (even if it doesn't actually make any story sense to run in blindly) or lets you stealth but discourages it. That being said - I don't disgree with you BUT this game on release was a different story. Stealth was not very viable due to enemies spotting you through walls, sometimes from miles away and you had 0 reaction time if you started to get spotted. It has since been improved quite a bit but you're still gimped in comparision to previous games in the series as you lack a lot of tools available we used to have. Also don't say people are just not skilled enough at the stealth and that's why they say it's bad. There are some damn good stealth players (some particular youtubers come to mind) that hate Valhalla's stealth system for a good number of reasons. Them being "unskilled" isn't one of them. Turning to insults to dismiss people's opinion isn't a good look on anyone. P.s I also don't like Odyssey's & Valhalla's "adrenaline" system (at least for stealth) and would much rather have actual tools and stuff, but that's quite subjective.

[@pattyrice8559]

the problem with this game is not the game itself. It was because they tagged the name "Assassin Creed" into it. It was forces to fit in into the Assassin universe because of that tag. i just wish there would be a game contribute toward the Viking era like Skyrim but more toward Viking

Valhalla has all the stealthyness of other AC games once you get out of Norway especially. You start off rough at assassinations which makes sense story wise. Its cool because the further you go the more effective you become at it and start assassinating even the bigger guys. The combat also gets a lot better later on as you level and unlock more abilities and levelling skills. Also once you start nailing hitting weak spots with your bow its really satisfying. I think some AC games before had cool looking fluid fighting that just kinda felt op and like it was happening through autopilot. This game actually has more skill expression I feel.

I played like over 100 hours in this game exploring most of the map and doing most of the sidequests, couldn’t be a bigger waste of time trying to find something I could actually praise the game for, of which there is only a couple, such as the authentic Viking feeling with the music done by Einar Selvik and Jesper Kyd, that alone made playing somewhat bearable. I agree that if this game didn’t have the AC name attached to it and was it’s own IP it would probably be better if they went full-on into the Viking fantasy, but Ubisoft needs to make money so they slap the AC name on it and ship an unrefined, unpolished, and unenjoyable game.

Unless one year later they still patched some stuff?? I mean if that's the case the case its just crazy Valhalla been released already 4 years ago... I don't think it would take this long to fix one of the biggest title... Anyway that being said, Im truly enjoying the game, it's just fun. The graphics are amazing and the sounds too. The environment is really fun to explore. Gameplay wise I agree it feels clunky at time and the combat kinda sucks but I guess with the houndreds of abilities you can unluck the gameplay will gradually gets better? I hope so... I got the ultimate edition that came with all the DLCs like a year ago under 25$ just never had the time to play it. For that price it's really hard to be disapointed when for the same price you can buy just one fortnite skin, let that sink in... But I can see why a lot of people were disapointed about the game espcially if one bought it full price. But then, anyone in this day and age who still preoder video games kinda deserves the bad product they'll get. If anyone reads my ramble and you want to play Valhalla but you're not sure because of all the bad reviews, don't listen to them, the game is really fun and if you just want a huge single player campaign that will last for at least couple months get this game, it's really immersive, BUT at one condition just get the game at least at 75% off I got the ulitmate edition for under 25$ (I had that super gamepass deal I think it was like 90% off). anyway just get it while on sale that way there's zero chances you'll be disapointed, 25$ these day = ONE useless fortnite skin or you can get a full next gen experience and a game that you'll still be able to play when the severs shutdown... Gaming mentality is so backward if we really think about it. Meanhwile I do agree Ubisoft is getting extrmely bad but then prime exemple is fortnite making billions and selling ONE skin for 25$ yet people think it's ''worth it'' but buying a brand new game for the same price is not worth it?

Im subscribing to this guy. Funny guy + accurate review. I love all AC series. If it's AC that let's you feel like an assasin, I'll go for it for sure. Love the cloak system.

[@NamelessAddy]

This game made me do stealth. Not because I want to be a stealthy assassin, but because I don't want to fight the spongy enemies using the same 5 animations.

[@tragic_light]

this game would’ve been so much cooler if each character didn’t look like they just stepped off the set of Vikings and actually tried to at least look period accurate.

[@luckysage4240]

seriously, if they took assassins creed out of the name the game is instantly better. could even have it in the same world and everything

[@zombiegunner3arc82]

Bruh said "just make it a viking game"my dude, it IS. It's not gonna be the same shit as original AC when it's a viking game. Stop expecting the same old shit and enjoy the Norse barbaric take of war

[@josephstalin2606]

Exactly. It still also ties in with the overall story without assassins. You’d think these “fans” would’ve realized by now that it’s not just about assassins, despite the title

[@pressstart8738]

Zanny and this channel… best youtuber ever..

[@Baltiquee]

The combat gets better and more complex the more you play the game.

[@sartavin]

I almost picked this up today as it's $15 on the ps store... glad this vid dropped, I love the soundtrack but I dunno about 100 hours of this janky combat when I can just replay a souls game.

[@funrsguysandmore]

To each his own... but that's crazy

[@ChrisE-iy7ok]

dude this game has some impressive abilities you can use to mix it up, however if you play this game you need to approach it the right way, i would advice to not stick with using same weapons for too long or it could get boring especially if combat is important for you, but switch them often and you will be fine. there are actually many different finisher animations in this game the problem is some of the weapons only have 1 or 2 different ones and it also depends from which direction you perform them front finishers are different from rear finishers or finishers from the side it´s weird i know. the guy in this vid does not explain it detailed enough for the best experience

[@PoonjabMackoy]

The guy that made this video is a major crybaby. you may end up loving the game, maybe give it a chance.

[@sartavin]

@@PoonjabMackoy I ended up playing through it, I liked it overall but even just doing the main campaign, the game was a little overlong. Beautiful environments and ost helped in that 50+ hours, a lot.

[@PoonjabMackoy]

yea. I actually didnt enjoy this game the 1st play through. It took me months cause i didn’t play it much, but i wanted to finish the story. I actually didn’t understand what i was supposed to do , and i got stuck and confused on certain story missions. After i finally figured it out and understood how to progress, my second play through was vastly more enjoyable, and its a fun viking game. It really was a love hate relationship.

[@darkkillerx29]

Ivor gets one shotted while ezio is in the background chain killing the entire Spanish military

[@Bubba1025]

This game is 80% filler trash but that other 20% is so good it keeps me wanting to play it, yet I can’t really explain what exactly makes it good or even what it is exactly. Such a weird feeling.

[@GeorgeMJohnson5]

First time around playing AC Valhalla, i loved it, 2nd time around found it rather repetitive, apart from growing your settlements and raids, it's very tedious.

[@MrFoFlat]

What keeps me coming back to AC Valhalla is that it’s a Viking game and the only one so far (until SuckerPunch steps up and make a better one then Ubi) that’s literally it. I like the double weapons, clothes, boats, etc but the combat is what kills me. It’s mad boring and repetitive and there are no combo options. Just spam one button 8 times and the enemy dead🤦‍♂️

[@specter2712]

This game has an indentity crisis

[@mari81233]

Im also trying to play this game again, having fun so far

[@AkagiRedSun]

Valhalla is a good game if you don’t think as AC game and it’s a slow burn type of game that you play for a short session for multiple months. Basically it’s a game for grown up who just wanna chill and not to be all up in the gaming mantra

[@MrNikuk]

Just played Odyssey which I loved, thinking of playing this next. Is it worth it?

[@shayanraghib107]

Give it a shot and trust me you won't regret it. Most of them don't pay attention to the lore of ac even while making vids and my advise is trying to use stealth abilities which you unlock by free roaming as much as possible. You have to take time and be creative with your kills so if you're up for the challenge then this game is beautiful. My favorite was ac 4 black flag, then origins and now Valhalla and I do like Odyssey as well

[@ryz8]

i think it’s worth it. people who don’t like it probably have their reasons but i always thought it was a great game. i’ve beat the game and all the DLCs and now i’m trying to 100% it, but just taking my time not in a rush to beat it. i’ve played it off and on since it’s released and it’s been a great time.

[@zicuvalentin2251]

Valhalla you waste time

[@AhmedSalem-ur5bp]

I don't care what anyone says, this game is amazing.

[@joebond545]

Agreed. I'm the sort of person that gets bored of games quickly so any game that can make me put 50 hours+ into it is a special game. Valhalla may have some classic ubisoft tropes but it's still a great game and not everything has to be the last of us. Sometimes I just wanna be a viking and raid a castle

[@zeynz7158]

Well I really enjoyed this game

[@Alexander-eq7xl]

Idk how u get this game to play that badly. I have 100 hours in this game and never thought it's buggy 😭

[@TheRedFortune]

4:42 moment before disaster because the game took his criticism personally 💀

[@linxdj4497]

underrated comment ☠

[@giorgosmoutsos1327]

I absolutely love this game one of my favourites the only thing i don't really like about this game is that the colours of the word are too dark compared to ac odyssey and origins i just wish it had more colour because it hurts my eyes sometimes

[@superstatus2640]

As a big fan of anything Viking I feel the exact opposite as you. I absolutely love the dark and gloomy scenery depicted in a lot of Norse imagery.

[@calebisaacs3629]

You gotta be less friendly with that stun finisher, instead just finish with a heavy attack.

[@DraslyThe1]

I´ve played every AC game except for this one, My favourite is odyssey. I feel like all the ac games are too short, I played it when it came out and started recently to play it again but with Nightmare difficulty (Platinum Trophy hunting) I´ve always loved the stealthy experience. This game should not bear the tittle of ac, Its not climbing/sneaky game. I´m excited for the upcoming ac Mirage tho. Hope they finish it for once

[@mh_golfer]

This one was too long and got very repetitive in my opinion. Most of the side missions were similar as well. The stealth feels rushed and kind of an after thought it much of the game.

[@Stalker950-l3x]

This literally is a climbing/sneaky game lmao.

[@DraslyThe1]

@@Stalker950-l3x Not valhalla not at all my guy, I´ve watch countless hours of streamers playing this and review guys whom said that this game they "tried" making it sneaky and bring back the old elements, but they failed in doing so.

[@Stalker950-l3x]

@@DraslyThe1 Dude, I´ve played this game for like 150 hours by myself. You don´t have to explain it to me because I know everything from Zero to Hero. It is a sneaky climbing AC game and it´s actually a great one that further explains the lore about the Isu people. although it's not like the old AC games it is nevertheless great and delivered as expected. At least to me and millions of other players.

[@DraslyThe1]

@@Stalker950-l3x if you enjoyed it then I dont care, but then you havent played that much the older ac games, cuz even ubi said that the stealth was not good; Although stealth was somewhat included in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the features were minimal and felt forced. The weapons system, inclusion of raids, and the quest to expand the Raven Clan by force made using stealth feel out of place and unnecessary. This is from the developers self, (not the publisher aka ubi)

[@johnmurray9654]

Had buyer's remorse within the first three days. Purchased it digital, so no refunds. Can't recoup the loss by trading in either. Woe is me. As it happens, I'm enjoying the heck outta AC Odyssey to this very day. That one was well done. Valhalla is perhaps the single worst game in the franchise.

[@hansolpurr]

Not defending the game, but it didn't need to "perform better" Valhalla was their highest grossing entry, by a lot. Which is kinda sad given how far it leaned into the grindy, bait into buying time savers formula. My biggest hope is they don't let that influence how they approach Shadows. If you wanna monetize a single player there are way more effective ways to do that rather than a one time $10 add on to essentially shorten the game. Not saying I want mtx at all, just pointing out that i dont get that philosophy to begin with. Like if i were them, id of charged $10 for the ability to make and play the custom user created stories in odyssey instead.

[@sgxmp8565]

This is a really fun game. I've been shit talking this game a lot until I decided to give it a second chance. Now it's one of my favorite. PS the bugs and glitches in this game is insane.

[@bynxtypebeat]

im only buying because i wanna play this then play god of war then the new god of war game too, and the valhalla dlc too.

[@sigmamalegrindset132]

Its a good standalone viking game, and honestly the Norse-gods as ISU makes it so much more interesting as well. And the serious tone makes the stories more interesting, odyssey was wayyyy too childish and Marvel-movie like.

[@sigmamalegrindset132]

also combat is miles better than odyssey. Its satisfying and has way more variety. And doesn't feel like a janky snoozefest

[@overheatedeskim054]

AC Valhalla is great game i don't care what anyone says i was lost for 120 hour's best one out of the 3 newer one's they made. The combat gets way better when your leveled up and actually unlock stuff later your literally in the tutorial

[@janmajnik6889]

I'm with you buddy. I will pick it up when I finish Odyseyy (almost done. The Atlantis DLC is awesome) and Syndicate (Syndicate is the only AC game I haven't played yet). I will play on hard mode and go assasins/ranged fighter to bypass the sluggish combat. I guess this game is not for everyone but I think I will love it! Just the removal of gear level made me go "NICE"!

[@scottblank5678]

I like Unity's combat a lot, it's way more fun and actually challenging.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Did you play Syndicate?

[@alanabyss9246]

It may not be a good assassin’s creed game but it’s an amazing Viking game

[@momo-wn1mc]

bro they made more storylines but after you settle in and upgrade the settlement they will pop up as quests

[@Zorasare]

We need a black flag episode 2

[@Jaysayinsome]

This game is literally goated, anyone who thinks otherwise are the same people who enjoy getting fed the same shit over and over again like COD

[@gdoggy121]

I have 97 hours into this game, and I haven’t encountered ANY of the bugs you ran into.

[@Diharce_Official]

The only way I found this assassins creed game fun was when I bought the double xp and coins because the skill sets are what give you that lovely combat ability stealth and arrow function with some cool moves

[@MrDylanm842]

You fell for ubisofts trap. You paid extra for the game they already scammed you for

[@Diharce_Official]

@@MrDylanm842 ya your not wrong but I did enjoy the beginning part

[@Belligerennt]

This is the only AC I dropped like 60 hours in. The game went on way too long and the story was so boring I didn’t even know what was happening anymore.

[@supnation]

assassins creed blackflag fighting style to me still feel the best

[@gangsta_pigeon8023]

game makes 1B plus revenue “maybe the game would’ve done better if it was just named valhalla” Very smart. Might just be me but 1B dollars is pretty successful and a lot of money, dk tho

[@Dreamiierr]

the game is really good tho, you can’t see is as an assassins creed game tbh, it doesn’t feel like it is so i just see it as an ubisoft original viking game
