Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action-adventure game from a third-person perspective with RPG elements in an open, well-developed, dynamically changing game world. The main action takes place in Eastern England. The main character is a Viking named Eivor (male or female, it doesn't matter).

The game mechanics have been redesigned according to the era and popular historical representations of Vikings as fierce close-combat fighters. A gameplay innovation in Valhalla is the transfer of the blade from the wrist to the outer side of the arm and the ability to hold a blade or shield in each hand. Graphically, the game uses an updated version of the same engine as Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The game world

Valhalla features a huge, handcrafted open world that includes parts of modern Eastern England and Norway, with special locations added, such as Kiev, where the player will find themselves in the storyline.

England occupies a large part of the game world and mirrors the landscape of its real prototype: dense forests and vast meadows, lowlands and hills, rivers and swamps, the North Sea coastline. The regional system has been abandoned, replaced by several large Kingdoms that are hostile to each other, while the Viking settlers add a factor of global threat.

Human influence is already noticeable: agriculture and animal husbandry are actively developed, small villages and larger settlements are found everywhere, and there are also a couple of major cities where trade and craftsmanship take place. Fortresses have appeared — securely protected strongholds with a large number of soldiers and bosses.

The world size of Valhalla is comparable to Odyssey, but there is more land, as Ubisoft showcases the Viking migration to the lands of England, and the world structure is freer, not tying the player to the character's level. There are few activities at sea; the drakkar is mainly used for moving the hero and companions, scouting, and surprise attacks rather than fighting other ships.

There is also a place in the world of Valhalla for the northwestern part of Scandinavia, with its harsh climate, steep mountains, and cold waters under the majestic northern lights. This part of the world is mainly used for storyline events.

The protagonist and his development

The main character Eivor is a fictional character based on historical prototypes. He is a fierce Vikingraised on legends of great battles and warrior glory. At the time of the game's events, he is both a conquering warrior and the leader of his small clan.

Eivor's membership in the assassins is more formal: he shares common enemies with the brotherhood, he was given a cool blade, but he only partially understands the true purpose of his membership and is focused on personal interests.

Character development in Valhalla follows the spirit of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim: the more you use a skill, the better the character's skill level becomes. RPG elements in the game are more abundant, and the hero can be developed in several directions while using equipment of varying quality levels. Each "item" is tied to a specific archetype — Raven, Bear, and Wolf, each containing its own fighting style and skill tree.

Unlike Odyssey, Valhalla has a new quality system: each item can be upgraded to the tenth level, which solves the problem of loot balancing. Previously, weapons and armor dropped too frequently and wasted time on boring management, but now there are fewer items, and they can be developed to your liking. To upgrade, you need to gather numerous resources.

Plot

As always, the events of Valhalla unfold in the past (9th century) and the present. The updated Animus will allow Layla Hassan, whose story began in Assassin's Creed: Origins and continued in Odyssey, to delve deeper into the history of the conflict between assassins and templars. The time spent in the present has increased.

In the past, in the spirit of early feudalism, there is a fierce struggle for resources. From the cold and hungry Scandinavia, the migration of local tribes to warm and resource-rich England begins, where the struggle for power is already in full swing without them.

The settlers are met with caution and hatred by the warring Kingdoms, and the main hero must ensure the survival of his clan at any cost. By the will of the writers, Saxons and Vikings will meet as both friends and foes. An alliance must be made with the former, while the latter will have to be fought and forced into peace, so it should not be surprising that, uniting with the English, Eivor goes to war against his own Danes, who despise him for his unwillingness to conquer lands.

At the same time, the main antagonist — Alfred the Great, the king of Wessex, striving to rule England alone — has called for the extermination of the northern peoples. Players will be able to prevent this by going through a whirlwind of events during which they will visit all corners of the game world, unite with other clans and Kingdoms, and uncover more than one conspiracy that drives a wedge into the peaceful coexistence of peoples.

The story arcs of Valhalla are more substantial than before, and side quests have been virtually eliminated (it would be strange if the foreigner Eivor began taking quests from peaceful villagers). Instead, Ubisoft uses "world events" that happen to Eivor during world exploration, which connects the game with Red Dead Redemption 2, where some stories were not even displayed on the map.

The Templars play a significant role in igniting conflict in eastern England, so it will not be possible to remain on the sidelines of the conflict between them and the assassins; over time, Eivor will find himself at its center.

Single-player gameplay

The gameplay of Valhalla is closely tied to the development of your own settlement through the construction of various buildings (barracks, forges, tattoo parlors, etc.) and their upgrades over time. A lot of resources are needed for all this, which the player has little of at the beginning, so they will have to raid settlements and fortresses. It is quite easy to plunder the first ones — break down the fortifications, rush into the settlement, and defeat the leader.

With fortresses, it won't be so easy — they are protected by strong walls, numerous soldiers, and several bosses, so their assault is large-scale, resembling sieges like Medieval: Total War and divided into several stages. The player kills regular and elite enemies, protects allies, and helps them batter down the gates, thus breaking through to the next levels of the fortress, to finally take down the boss. The player will receive more resources for such an assault, and the reward will be better for Eivor personally.

Another option is to forge alliances and organize trade with local English settlements. But trust still needs to be earned, which reflects the Influence system (reputation), depending on completing quests and assisting NPCs. Some tasks can only be completed by significantly strengthening influence.

In the new place, the Vikings face many enemies, so the combat system has been rethought. In battle, players will have to actively shield themselves, as well as chop down hordes of enemies left and right with dual axes/swords. Many equipment elements, such as weapons, have a durability mechanic.

There are several types of weapons, and they can be upgraded with special runes for damage from fire, cold, or lightning, which is characteristic of Scandinavian mythology. In battle, the player must use special abilities with different types of actions, up to eight of which can be taken: four for ranged combat and four for melee.

The influence of Dark Souls has reached Assassin's Creed; depending on the difficulty level, the timing, parry time, player health level, enemy awareness, and reaction speed will change.

Multiplayer

There is no information about the possible appearance of a cooperative mode or competitive online modes in the spirit of the old Assassin's Creed.

It is quite likely that only an item shop in the spirit of Odyssey will appear, which will not affect the gameplay.

Important features:

  • The parkour has been refined to suit the conditions of the game world, with new animations and the ability to climb trees.
  • Eivor occasionally battles Nordic gods in special sections, like the battle with the giant snake in Origins.
  • Stealth has been improved: players can hide in mud, snow, climb into a snowdrift, or blend in with the environment when wearing certain clothing.

Disgusting attempt to please LGBT freaks, feminists and people of color. The series has long since died in terrible torment, but the hypocritical developers still mock the deceased, exposing his tormented body as a moral monster. I am sure that if the creators of the game thought first of all about the historical component and not about the whining of envious losers swollen with fat, then many problems could be solved. Why did everyone who wrote reviews forget that if you play as a man, Eivor is spoken of as a female character? Why in some cut scenes does a brutal man behave like a woman? Why the hell am I NATURAL, I have to endure what is considered wrong and dirty for me?! Since when did traditional relationships become a minority? In what historical records, a woman was the leader of th… Read full

Отвратительная попытка угодить фрикам из ЛГБТ , феминисткам и цветным . Серия уже давно умерла в страшнейших мучениях , но лицемерные разработчики всё глумятся над усопшем, выставив на показ измученное тело на показ моральным уродом. Я уверен в том что , если бы создатели игры думали впервую очередь о исторической составляющей а не на нытьё заплывших жиром завистливых неудачниц , то можно было бы решить множество проблем . Почему все кто писал рецензии забыли о том что , если ты играешь за мужчину , о Эйворе говорят как о персонаже женского рода ? Почему в некоторых кат сценах , брутальный мужик ведёт себя словно женщина ? Какого хрена я НАТУРАЛ , должен терпеть то что для меня считается неправильным и грязным ?! С каких пор , традиционные отношения стали меньшинством ? В каких исторически… Read full

My inner Viking from this game first neighed like a draft gelding, then sipped British ale, frowning at the screen.

Okay, let’s assume that the woman somehow became the leader of the clan, but judging by her gait, the Valkyries are already flying after her to take her to Valhalla for the disabled. Obviously, there has been some kind of epidemic in those parts - characters speak in strange voices, twitch, wave their arms at random, do complete crap, and other disabled people call it a “well-developed plot” and a “game of 2020,” although “The Witcher 3” is from 2016 , uses his left heel to crush all the efforts of this “Assassin” miscarriage. At the same time, there is a merciless grind, as in Korean MMOs, combat from the category of “hit 3 times and bounce - continue until victory”, mercile… Read full

Мой внутренний викинг с этой игры сначала ржал, как тягловый мерин, потом хлебал британский эль, хмуро глядя в экран.

Ладно, предположим, что баба каким-то образом стала вождем клана, но судя по её походке, за ней уже валькирии летят, забрать в Вальгаллу для инвалидов. Очевидно, по тем краям, прошла какая-то эпидемия — персонажи говорят странными голосами, дергаются, машут руками невпопад, творят полнейшую хрень, а другие инвалиды называют это "проработанным сюжетом" и "игрой 2020 года", хотя "Ведьмак 3" из 2016, уделывает левой пяткой все потуги этого выкидыша "Ассасина". При этом — нещадный гринд, как в корейских ММО, боевка из разряда "ударь 3 раза и отскочи — продолжать до победного", беспощадные викинги — глиномесы и другие "замечательные" вещи, прямиком из учебника истории для толера… Read full

I advise everyone...

I advise everyone not to buy this miscarriage of the gaming industry!

Dull grind of a dull grind! This is NOT a GAME.

This is a damn tech demo.

There is gameplay, but it is not balanced.

There is a plot, but it is even worse than in the last 3 parts.

There is a logic to what is happening... A. There is none. Illogical nonsense.

Beautiful, illogical, sad nonsense for a full price. Don't take it - you'll waste time.

Всем советую...

Всем советую не покупать этот выкидыш игровой индустрии!

Унылый гринд унылого гринда! Это НЕ ИГРА.

Это чертова технодемка.

Геймплей есть, но не сбалансирован.

Сюжет есть, но он даже хуже чем в последних 3 частях.

Логика происходящего есть... А. Её нет. Нелогичный бред.

Красивый, нелогичный, унылый бред за фулпрайс. Не берите — потеряете время.

I don’t understand why this part is praised more than the previous two, because there is no gameplay AT ALL, for the 80 hours that I played, running around to points that are treasures, secrets, artifacts (absolutely useless), I saw NOTHING else in this game, except for furniture-filled empty activities in the form of animations and decorations. At the same time, the game is full of bugs, the world is completely grey, boring, uninteresting, monotonous, all the quests are like daily quests in some MMORPG, but the NPCs remain at the level of the first part of 2007. Poor leveling mechanics, which need to be pumped up every 30 minutes, 2 useless skills, very few weapons, armor, compared to the same odyssey in which you changed clothes almost every 10 minutes, and here you run the entire game w… Read full

Не понимаю, почему эту часть, нахваливают больше двух предыдущих, ведь в ней же ВООБЩЕ нет геймплея, за 80 часов которые я наиграл, беготни по точкам, которые-сокровища, тайны, артефакты(абсолютно бесполезные), я НИЧЕГО больше не увидел в этой игре, кроме мебельных пустых занятий в виде анимаций и декораций. При этом игра с кучей багов, мир совершенно серый, скучный, не интересный, однообразный, все квесты как ежедневки в какой нибудь мморпг ,ну а нпс так и остались на уровне первой части 2007 года. Убогая механика прокачки, которую нужно вкачивать каждые 30 мин по 2 бесполезных навыка, очень мало оружия, доспехов, по сравнению с той же одиссеей в которой переодевался чуть ли не каждые 10 мин, а тут бегаешь всю игру с одним сетом.А ну еще самые дисбалансные боссы и мини боссы которых я в… Read full
