Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is arguably the biggest Assassin’s Creed game ever, with multiple maps exponentially larger than that of previous installments, enough side content to fill a game on its own, and an overarching plot that spans well over the 50-hour mark. This game has so much content in it that I found myself pondering, How much Assassin’s Creed is too much Assassin’s Creed? Is Assassins Creed Valhalla Waste of Time? This is the 7th video in my Assassins Creed Retrospective.

A Critique of Assassin's Creed Valhalla | Too Much Assassin's Creed
I plan to answer this question throughout a critique of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. I plan to discuss all of my praises and criticisms across this video, and I hope to present to you the story explained, the lore explained, the ending explained, and my praises of the gameplay, my critiques of the Assassins Creed Valhalla Combat, and, of course, the things I don't like as much. I will show the gameplay of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and I will show endgame footage and the many endings of the game. In this Analysis of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I will be comparing the game to its predecessor in an Assassins Creed Valhalla VS Odyssey battle. I have tried to cover all the arcs but there were some I skipped over. These are my Assassins Creed Valhalla First Impressions and I really like this take on Assassins Creed Vikings. In Assassins Creed Valhalla all arcs must be completed to complete the main story.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment 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.
My time with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was really really fun, I mean don’t get me wrong there were a few bumps in the road but overall I think this is an Assassin’s Creed game that will please all the different Assassin’s Creed fans weather you are an OG who’s been here since the beginning, or a fresh recruit who has only known the series in it’s RPG form. I wrote that statement, 15 hours into the game, Now that I am on the cusp of 90 hours I can confidently say, I feel a little differently now. Now since this game is relatively new I will be structuring this video differently in order to avoid spoilers. If you scroll across that little red bar at the bottom of this video, you will see that this video is split into chapters. Anything that spoils the game after the first 4 ish hours will be marked with SPOILERS in all caps and it will pertain to either gameplay or story. Of course story spoilers will include spoilers for character arcs, plot twists, and everything else and gameplay spoilers will include abilities, cosmetics, weapons, and side quests. I’d like to say off the bat that if you have been on the fence and you want to go in as blind as possible but you're just not sure about it, get this game, it answers a lot of concerns surrounding Odyssey and it’s also a ton of fun in general. If you are willing to have a few minor things spoiled in order to help you decide then proceed with caution.
