Worst game in the series

[WolfishMeat7]

... At first (in Norwegian area) it seems OK, has atmosphere, but it's like first hours of the game, but when you move to England it turns into boring, bloated, extremely easy mess... I can't even describe how inferior it to Origins and Odyssey... Please.. Buy these two games instead.. This one is really bad, maybe the only game I regret buying, and I bought Far Cry 6 ....😐

Yep. It's very long. Very very long. I still slogged thru it, but then had way more fun just travelling alone unlocking treasures and mysteries. I highly recommend that mode of play. The scenery and ambience is great.

I like the atmosphere of the game...but the combat system ruined it for me, it was almost perfect in Odyssey (skill based mostly), but in this one yo ucan parr yand destroy everything in seconds...I wouldn't mind even this combat system...but there is like 1/5 finishers for each weapon...and you can perform it 20 times during one big combat situation...such a wasnted potential...not the worst game in general, but worst in trillogy 100% and should be avoided

idk, I have played the 3 games you mention, playing odyssey right now and I enjoyed all of them
My only cons about Valhalla is that I wish the scandinavic area was bigger or longer, but its only like the introduction area and then yo move to England.
And the order hunt was boring and NPCs were kinda OP back when the game was launched, idk if they nerfed them but overall the game was good.

That sounds great. Spending 10 minutes to kill 5 enemies in Odyssey ruined that game for me.

no it's not...you will see the same animation 10000 of times...not kidding, while Odyssey at least had some animations

OP, I don't know what game you played, but the combat in valhalla is definitely much better than odyssey and origin.

In valhalla we have main hand and off hand system. Each weapons combination have different effects and animations. You can pair axe with shield, axe + axe, hammer + dagger, shield + shield, dagger + empty offhand, etc. You can even wield two two-handed weapons (greatsword, Dane axe, spear, and schyte) at higher level.

In odyssey and origin, you can only wield one weapon at a time, even for one handed weapons like sword and daggers. This alone makes combat variety and animations more limited.

There are also more finishing moves in valhalla compared to previous ac games. Your finishing move will be depend on what weapon the enemy use, what weapon your character use, and your position during execution.

If you think the combat is too easy because of parry, in you can reduce the parry window (default is 450ms) in game play settings. Tbh I don't even remember when I need to parry in odyssey. In valhalla parry is useful since you won't get far just from dodging due to limited stamina.

Oh forgot to mention how I despised constantly leveling up my legendary weapons and armors in origin and odyssey, just to match with my level. Ubisoft finally removed item levels in valhalla. You just need to upgrade the rarity of your favorite items or enchant it with runes and that's it.

Now you can use same armor set / weapon set / combat style throughout the game if you want to.
