  • Wield the Powers of a God - Wield incredible, otherworldly powers. Absorb new abilities from those you’ve defeated and use them to slay all who stand in your way. Shape-shift into a raven for spectacular assassinations or resurrect your defeated foes to fight on your side. Transform your skin into magma to protect yourself, infuse your weapon with ice to unleash devastating strikes, and more.
  • Journey Into Norse Myth - Faced with visions of a new threat, Eivor must embrace their destiny as Odin and enter the mythical dwarven realm of Svartalfheim, a beautiful but hostile world under invasion. From underground forges to soaring golden peaks, immerse yourself in a vast, perilous new world of Norse mythology as you embrace your fate as a Norse god.
  • Fight New Enemies of Ice and Fire - Face off against Jotnars, foes of ice from Jotunheim, and Muspels, new enemies of fire from Muspelheim. Battle a wide range of enemy archetypes, infiltrate their strongholds, and wield their own powers against them as you grow stronger. At the head of this army stands Surtr, an unkillable fire giant and the greatest enemy that Odin has ever faced.
  • Experience Odin’s Personal Saga - As Odin, embark on a desperate quest to rescue your son, Baldr, from imprisonment at the hands of an unspeakable foe. Use your wit and cunning to infiltrate hostile territory, gain dwarven allies, and take revenge on Baldr’s captors. Odin’s journey will force him to confront his own fate against the certain doom of Ragnarök.
 
Many of the things werent great, I still put in a lot of hours. My main thing I would redo would be make the combat tougher and reward a shield user tactic bringing in the stamina more etc. Its far to easy just use say two spears and nuke an army. :cry:

Also even though I have not bought the expansions (Ireland, France) the skill tree became full and Im severely overpowered. The skill tree should have limited spend points so you chose a build i.e. you couldnt max bear/raven/wolf at same time.
 
Well I started playing this last week and I think it is the greatest game ever made and I've never been a fan of AC games before. It's like a cross between Witcher 3 and shadow of the tomb raider. Far better than God of war

You must have started gaming a week ago if you view Valhalla as the greatest game every made :/
 
Its not as bad as everyone made out. I often see reviewers rank the series and they all get it different order. God of war is a great game but that can get repetitive elements too.

Valhalla fudged up the expansions and river raid mode. I think it was good and I completed it without having many breaks over the days which some other games didnt hook me in.

As everyone knows, I'm a big fan of the AC "reboot" trilogy, completed them all, Valhalla did get.a rougher time of it by many reviewers but it is indeed a good game. Talking of ranks, if I was to rank the trilogy I'd have it in this order, AC Odyssey > AC Origins > AC Valhalla , though my personal historical bias accounts for much of that
 
Yes completely agree @Tombstone - one of my friends championed how good Odyssey was (he hasn't bought Valhalla) so I got that after completing Valhalla. I played about 20% through it and thought it was nowhere near as good as he made it out to be.

Like you say personal historical bias comes in and so far I have told him his opinion holds no weight until he gives Valhalla a run through.

I also have Origins to get through, but playing them titles back to back isnt advised - no wonder people complain of it being samey lol.
 
Anyone know how to get the power boost to start Ragnorok at level 340 - every time I start the Restless Dreams quest I just get transported there with no option to boost and am way to under level to defeat the boss..

What power level are you? If I recall it's only available if you're under 310.
 
I'll be amazed if they don't just link to Connect like a lot of the current Ubi games on steam do. Unless it's costing them a fortune to maintain, I doubt they'll be dumping the launcher. The biggest benefit of their games on steam is they shouldn't have as many issues working on the Deck now.
