Trying again. Bot keeps removing for no good reason.

Finished Valhalla yesterday and I had a good time, but as others have pointed out, a frustrating time. I’ll give a ranking/ score at the end.

I cleared every zone, did all the deliveries (that the game allowed), and got all the mythical weapons. So here are my thoughts.

This was a fun game, I had a good time for the most part.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS (nothing in detail story wise)

Good:

• Setting. I loved the English country side, running through ancient Roman ruins. See the Viking architecture. I would sit and imagine how things looked back then.

• World events (zone side missions) - I think these were the star of the show. I loved almost all of them. I think how they made sure they were short and could be finished right in the same area was perfect. The stories were fun and I didn’t have to run all over the place. I’ll play again just to do these again.

• Weapons - they looked cool and I tried them all out for several hours. All the weapons are viable. Daggers are quick and darty. Spears give range and are quick. 2handers are impactful and brutal. I would change up weapons depending on my mood and didn’t feel disadvantaged.

• Main story - The Sigurd storyline was good, I became invested in pushing that through and discovering the mystery.

The Bad

• Stealth

• Skill tree

• Storylines

• Endgame

• Weapons (legendary)

• Hunting/ Wild life

The Horrible

• Fishing!

• Asgard!

  • No New Game

Overall I enjoyed the game, as can be seen by the desire for New Game . But this isn’t close to the best AC. Of the new ACs (Origins/ Odyssey) I rank it 3rd. Both Origins and Odyssey felt smoother with better flows. Yes, Odyssey’s story could drag on at times or you had to grind, but at least new equipment kept things interesting and you didn’t have to go to every single zone/ island. Same with Origins. Of all the ACs, I’d probably put it below 5th or 6th.

I want to play more (and did start a female Eivor last night to kill time till Cyberpunk) but that’s probably more of me just wanting more AC.
