I'm not the biggest fan of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but, no matter the game, there’s always something worth celebrating. And that’s true for Valhalla as well. Let’s dive into what Assassin’s Creed Valhalla did right.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

If the game was shorter or the arcs meant more, it would be a top 3 game in the series

I say it here and now. Kjotve should've survived beyond the prologue and be the main villain of the game due to his connection to Eivor. I mean Eivor hated Kjotve so much. Plus he was a member of the order of ancients. Kjotve could've made for a great villain. Ruthless, ragefull and pure evil that's what he was. And we kill him before the real story even begins. Plus ngl Norway was in my opinion a more interesting setting than England. I feel like the area where Valhalla lacked was the villain. Spoiler alert........ Alfred of Wessex wasn't even really a villain he felt way too similiar to Aspasia in terms of both role and looks weirdly enough. And Basim was kind of confusing you wouldn't understand it unless you played the Asgard side quest. Had Kjotve be the main villain would be interesting. During the story Eivor learns more and more. Odin tries to make her a bad person every time he influences Eivor it's in a bad way. It would be interesting that Eivor learns and grows to the point were she looks beyond her hatred for Kjotve. In the end Odin would try and influence her to kill Kjotve and in a way become the new Kjotve. But she'd refuse. Instead choosing to spare Kjotve. Giving Eivor a character arc.
True I actually thought it would maybe even be kjotves son looking for revenge or something against eivor
I agree. The modern day story line in Valhalla is the best since the early games. Also I generally really enjoy Valhalla. Flaws and all
I completely agree with you about the story; To me, the prologue and the entire first part in Norway were the best in the game. The parts with the Sons of Ragnar, Soma and Oswald were pretty good, but after that, the game became slowly less compelling
The story really is so long. The revenge part in the americas is so deep in the game that I basically forgot who it was we were hunting.
Cmon we know you secretly love AC valhalla 😂
Not gonna lie. After playing all the DLCs recently for that DLC ranking video.. It's growing on me Loki..
haha get? loki, lowkey? no? okay.
@TheHiddenOne690 I saw what you did there mate!
thanks man!
I actually enjoyed playing it but if they trimmed off some of the fat and focused more on the main story instead of some filler arcs it would have improved the game a lot but I like it even though it’s hated
@@TheHiddenOne690 its growing on you basim...
Ac valhalla isnt that bad i just wish there was more asssasination
I really, really enjoyed Valhalla, and the modern day story blew my mind.
It gets a lot of undeserved hate.
It's an amazing game at best, a decent one at worst.
I loved it for what it is. Not my favorite but still really good. Enjoyed every second.
talk about assasins creed syndicate next because i feel like having a automatic gun in 1800s is all i want in this franchise AND GANGS TOO?? dammn
I personally like the majority of vahalla
Think we all have a bit of a love hate relationship with Valhalla. I personally loved it more than I hated it, yeah it had it's issues yeah it was a little long winded but on the whole it was an enjoyable game.
Social stealth is another thing I'll give it credit for since that was largely absent in Origins and Odyssey. I liked being able to manually put on Eivor's hood and cloak to blend in in hostile areas. The DLC was pretty good, too: Siege of Paris especially for bringing back the black box assassinations, and Tombs of the Fallen was the closest thing to the tombs and puzzles in the Ezio trilogy.
I have to say, while the combat in previous AC games have varied wildly in quality, Valhalla does it better than any other game in my opinion. The sheer variety with weapons and abilities allows for build crafting not possible in any other game, especially outside of the RPG trilogy. I also love the way Valhalla handled side quests, or world events as the game calls them. They're so unique from any other side quest system in any AC game, they feel a lot more natural than walking up to an NPC and they tell you their problem.
Valhalla looks like its super immersive
Check
I thought the Tombs of the Fallen addition was great. I missed those puzzle-platforming areas from the earlier AC games, so it was nice to see that back in Valhalla. I’ll lump the abandoned Assassin Bureaus to that as well, since they are similar.
On the Gear System: I felt no reason to swap armour gear. I took a set you can get in Norway from start to finish of the base game and the two first year DLCs, the only reason I upgraded a second set was so my Havi wasn't wearing the same set as Evior so I didn't need to go to a blacksmith every time to make them wear different items.
I liked the variety in weapons and upgraded a light shield, and war Axe (literally the first axe you get), a dagger, a Sycle and a 1handed sword as I liked how they all felt in combat, I mainly focused on a Hunting bow but had all 3 types have one almost upto date as I would swap bow when out of ammo. All the weapons tended to be the first one I got as the slight modifiers were out weighed damage loss and the grind to get it back upto scratch.
Odyssey on the other hand had the benefit that any new Items were of an up to date level so very rarely did I keep hold of an item unless it's modifiers were insane in which case it was worth the grind to upgrade. only when I hit mastery levels did I finally start upgrading all the kit to play with and start to feel new items were useless.
Only reason I upgrade other armour sets quality in Vallhalla is to unlock the higher tier cosmetics
Valhalla Soundtrack is in the top 3 of all the franchise.
Valhalla oddessy and 2?
@@justsomedude1593
1 - 2/Brotherhood
2 - Black Flag
3- Valhalla
I keep saying this and I will KEEP saying this in the hopes somone can make it possible... If someone made a mod for AC Valhalla that cut a lot of the filler arcs out of the game and kept the important ones, making the game more like 30-40 hours, it would be INFINITELY more replayable to me. We need Sliderv2 on it or something!
Waiting for the part 2 on changing game when taking damage series
you mean part 3?
I’m still salty to this day about not getting new game plus I enjoyed the darker vibe and the DLC’s. Plus, I wanted to see if I could get the order of engines and assassinate in a different way because there were some black box missions that you could do.
Why most of this games thrive so much on Nostalgia to have memorable moments in its story
Hey man your videos are entertaining, keep up the good work❤
Hidden one's "what valhalla did right?" Before GTA 6 was not expected
To me they got the side missions right in valhalla but misused it, instead of making the arcs optional, they made it mandatory, if the arc system stayed but instead was optional, it would lead to better world building, jorvic and lunden were super good in my opinion
Unpopular opinion, I loved the game. I do think we do have a liking for different times in history and it matters a lot too. I love medieval history so I enjoyed so many details of this. I love every game of the series in fairness for what they offer. Great video once again.
AC Valhalla was my first time playing a AC game since black flag, and I was a little confused at first, but after awhile I got into it, and I was having a blast! I will say the story was really bad, but I still had fun! The combat and the weapons made it worth it for me, and I liked the RPG of it. It made me go back and play AC Origins and AC Odyssey, I also bought the DLC’s for Valhalla, mostly for the weapons and unlocks, but I also enjoyed them! The Paris one is definitely the best story line. ☺️
I’m currently playing it day and night. It’s my second play through since about two years ago and it’s long and that’s me just doing the main story. I’m trying to beat it before my son is born and wife is allowing me to play nonstop as soon as I get home from work ⚔️🛡🦅😅 but it’s my misión to beat the story asap cuz my son is due at anytime 😬🙌👶
I didnt like Valhalla too much, but my favourite part of the game were the animus glitches, they reminded me a lot of the old AC's...
I'm glad Valhalla is getting some love. I thought it was extremely overhated. There are many things to dislike about the game, but overall, I loved it. I just wish there was a new game plus.
Nah Valhalla have a very strong fan base who love the game to death but odyssey is the better game for me
The story is just too long for no good reason
@@koyrion yea one time I fell asleep playing it 😭
@koyrion to give an objective viewpoint; I don't think the story is as long as one would think. If you were to put it in terms of your favorite show, you can binge watch your favorite show, and each area of the game was its own mini "season" of the show. Plus the game came out at the perfect time, with Covid, people weren't able to leave. So personally for me I love the fact that there was lots of content. It was perfect for an introvert like me.
I know it was historically correct to have the king survive.
That is also why we needed a different final boss.
It was very disappointing to finish off the bad guys and get Thor's armor and Moljinor only to have nothing worthy left to fight.
Ravensthorpe is silly too.
The same lines and animations repeated endlessly.
No impact at all.
All that work collecting resources and supplies to build the town and nothing really changes.
Vallhala is such an underrated game
iam playing ac Valhalla need to 100 precent then on mirage then iam waiting for shadows
I'm currently playing through the DLC, I just finished The Wrath of The Druids, a good 7/10, about to start The Siege Of Paris
The only things that are very regrettable about the game (bedides the bloatness) is the removal of clothe physics, the janky npc animations and the bugged soundtrack
The ending just didn’t feel like an ending (I still enjoyed the game a lot)
My man I want this video for Assassin's Creed Mirage
I gotchu :)
I need a Odyssey version of this video
Can’t wait for shadows tho
Valhalla would be better if they made some of the sagas optional and that you would stumble upon them instead of forcing you to do them and killing the pacing of the main story.
I actually really liked AC Valhalla, although I found it overly long and repetitive. I think a big problem AC Odyssey and AC Valhalla had were the "AC" in front of the title. If they'd been called Valhalla and Odyssey and removed the AC lore the marketing would have been worse but probably the reception would have been better.
That note to Aya read by bayek…. Didn’t bayek used to read it aloud?? I’ve recently replayed Valhalla and went back to it from time to time and he doesn’t speak it anymore. Did I Mandela myself??? I need backup on this
“I want to see the alliance map”
I think covid ruined the development of Valhalla. As it forced devs to scramble their development plans to make a new one in that timeframe. By the time Valhalla launched they were still scrambling to find the perfect balance. I think thats the reason why prologue felt well crafted and rest of the game didn't.
I feel like im the only one who actually liked this game. Sure it had flaws but I just couldn't get enough of that viking fantasy.
Love ur vids
I would have really enjoyed these three RPG games if they weren't the part of Assassin's Creed series and was a seperate games. Hate everything in the game except a bit of good combat.
The gear in Valhalla absolutely has no meaning in the game. The perks or stats don't matter like they did in Odyssey, and Eivor might as well just be a tank. He hardly takes damage by the end of the game and the gear set perks may make a small noticeable difference but there is no comparison to how Odyssey's gear system works. I may not like the gear system in Odyssey due to the reliance of stacking stats, but gear did matter, and you could freely change the appearance of your best gear whenever you wanted. Valhalla and Odyssey both had some nice abilities, but Odyssey had a better skill tree and mastery tree. Valhalla had better writing than Odyssey. The story isn't as good as Odyssey, though, but Eivor, Basim, and the memory corridors were th best part of the game. The DLCs were also so much better than Odyssey's imo. Dawn of Ragnarok is absolutely one of the better DLCs in the series, and the note from Bayek that Reda had was greatly appreciated. I wish Ubisoft would revisit him and Aya. Overall, Valhalla is a very enjoyable game if you play it slowly and enjoy the sights, the story, and the lore. Also, the best thing it did was bring the Viking experience and intertwine with Assassin's Creed. The combat was good, but Odyssey was more fun. Eivor is also an awesome protagonist.
Sometimes I love Valhalla an sometimes I hate it to the core but I do like the dismemberment an decapitation an the gore no lie the beginning of the story was banging but towards the middle it was like a what the fuck an the mystery quest wasn’t it I was hoping for something like odyssey an crazy thing is I beat Valhalla twice the grind was insane 😂🤦🏽♂️
I liked the game the only thing was the long disconnected story that i didn't like
I don't get the hate. I have like 300 Hours playtime 😅
I want to become a member, but i can't pay with ideal :((
Thanks!
Not a bad game but no replay ability. Literally teased new game plus ever since it released to not add it. Pure laziness on their part that they kept giving bs excuses for.
Best game in the series, argue with a wall
W
I loved Valhalla as a Viking game not a Assassin's Creed game
Valhalla had the deepest AC lore out of every AC
@@mrmeme2917yeah, but that would require for these people to actually play the game.
I personally enjoyed exploring the Hidden Ones hideouts
I like everything about Valhalla except the slugfest of a story.
Love you from Pakistan i hope you remember me 😂
I'm also Pakistani man love your vids and also you lol btw Pakistani bro I finally found someone that plays ac in Pakistan
@@ArnoDorian-yw8op hahaha 🤣
You love ac Valhalla we all now it but I'm surprised you secretly liked it man that's 3
Years of watching you gone to waist like you gotta betray me like that
I don't love it at all. This video is just focusing on positives of the game because every game in the world has some positives and negatives.
Why the lack of video's lately?, (don't over push tho i'm just asking ;D )
I thought i'd spread them out more widely like every 5-7 days, instead of uploading every 2-3 days. because that puts more pressure on uploading. I have around 10 videos right now that are currently uploaded and unlisted :)
@@TheHiddenOne690 Ah so better Quality Video's :)
Also since I opened a patreon. I upload videos there 2/3 days before I release them to youtube, so that's a BIG factor too
@@TheHiddenOne690 ye i can't be a member :( i can only pay with ideal
It's okay dude. As long as you watch me. That's all I can ask for 💚
The only thing it did Right is giving us the Best Outfit in the entire game (Basim's Robes) 😂
I spent 15 Hours on this game and immediately dropped it. Never again
If you think the combat is better than Odyssey then you really must be doing things wrong in Odyssey.
Odyssey's combat sucks lol
I just felt like there's more nuance and weight to it in valhalla. In valhalla theres a vaiety of enemies types with a variety of attack types. In odyssey almost everyone feels exactly the same. The animations look nicer in valhalla too.
Odysseys combat compared to Valhalla's isn't even close IMO, valhallas combat is way more better and illusive but the map for Odyssey is unmatched.
The fact that you can “build your character wrong” shows everything wrong with odysseys combat
Nothing at all
It showed us how ubisoft worst is
Actually, if the game was shorter and not so filled up with useless missions and objectives that derives to nothing it would have been a pretty decent game
In my opinion it's better than Odyssey
for me its the other way round better combat, characters, dlc and likeable protagonist . what did you like more in valhalla? just curious
13 min vid? Dam what did he talk about for the other ten mins?
I don't know to be honest. He probably said a whole-lotta-nothing
Nothing ?
Cry
@@mrmeme2917 no you
Ac Valhalla my view on this game:
Story - 5/10
Graphics - 4/10
Combat - 9/10
Stealth - 7/10
Fun - 5/10
Parkour - 4/10
It's just another boring open world Ubisoft game, nothing new..
Graphics weren't that bad
No way bro said graphics are 4
@@IJustEdit32 yeah it is, i played it in Ultra and HDR, and it was like from 2016
graphics are the best in the series. W rage bait though.
1:00 ok that was so random😂
