Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: A Review

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major instalment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin’s Creed series, and a successor to the 2018’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Set in 873 AD, the game recounts a fictional story during the Viking invasion of Britain. The player controls Eivor, a Viking raider who becomes embroiled in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. The game was released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia, while the PlayStation 5 version was released on November 12.

The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised the graphics and story, but criticized it for technical issues and lack of innovation. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an open-world action-adventure game structured around several main story arcs and numerous optional side-missions, called “World Events“.  

The player takes on the role of Eivor, a Viking raider, as they lead their fellow Vikings against the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The player has the choice of playing Eivor as either male (voiced by Magnus Bruun), female (voiced by Cecilie Stenspil) or letting the game alternate between the two at key moments in the story, and is able to customise Eivor’s hair, war paint, clothing, armor, and tattoos. The variety of weapons available to the player has been expanded to include weapons such as flails and great swords. Combat has been changed to allow dual-wielding of almost any weapon, including shields and every piece of gear that the player collects is unique.

So if we talk of overall looks, the game is an adventurous role playing game and interesting. The graphics are epic and there is no doubt in that. Some technical problems may be a trouble else the game is a power pack fun. Have you played the game? How did you like it? Do tell us!
