Presentation
As you might expect from a game launching on next-gen consoles alongside current-generation systems, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla looks jaw-dropping. It is arguably the most beautiful game in the series and successfully captures 9th-century England. The lighting is impressive and the environments are so inviting that you will want to explore every inch of the world. There’s also a satisfying soundtrack to accompany the action and excellent voice acting.
While Assassin’s Creed Valhalla excels in terms of presentation, technically it’s a different story. The game has a lot of bugs and glitches. Although the frame rate is constant, visual problems are common throughout the campaign. These range from broken animations to textures that pop up and disappear. All bugs are of a rather minor scale but can add up quickly. So while none of them break the game, it can get frustrating after a few hours. Hopefully, this is an issue that Ubisoft will address in subsequent updates.
Final verdict
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla effectively takes the best elements of previous games and combines them together. Simplify some of the most frustrating and repetitive moments in Odyssey and Origins. However, it also brings back much requested features like the hidden blade and assignments. While far from perfect, she is easily the best entry in the series in more than half a decade. Add a gripping story and complex set of characters and it’s not hard to recommend this game.
