Ask for advice from players for buying a game (Assassin's Creed)

[Equalizer]

Hello. I would like to buy one of the games "Assassin's Creed" because I have never played it but I would like your opinion to choose it. I'm interested in "Odyssey" or "Valhalla". Which one do you recommend? with or without DLC? Thank you and good game.

Get odyssey gold on sale for 23 $,
if standard for 14.

Do the same later for valhalla.

Origins is good as well.

Just a heads up..newer ubisoft games are no longer sold on steam. You will need to buy it from their launcher called ubisoft connect. Their launcher used to be called uplay.

I am referring to Valhalla. Assasins Creed Valhalla is not sold on steam. Show me a link where you can buy on steam please.

I really wish ubisoft games would actually come back to steam. I really like immortals Fenix Rising, but according to their quarterly sales, there actually making a huge profit atm..so i doubt in the recent future they will come back to steam..

Valhalla seems to be for a while epic store exclusive outside of ubisoft.

As far as former AC games went, you only profit from buying them late. No missing out.

Get "Odyssey" Gold with the DLC. Was my first Assassins Creed in years and i put nearly 200 hours into it. Highly enjoyed it.
I got Valhalla on UPLAY but i did not play it yet, i wait for the DLC to be released which will still be a while.

I thought they released the dlc as in game stuff..like the stuff you buy in the game. They did that with immortals fenyx rising..they put the dlc's inside the game shop, although on ps4 version, you can buy them seperate...

Odyssey had 2 big story expansions as DLC " Legacy of the First Blade" and " Fate of Atlantis" which added about 30 hours of extra content to the game.
"Fate of Atlantis" was even 3 complete new maps that are not in the main game.

Valhalla will do the same, there are 2 big story expansions planned " Wrath of the Druids" which will release at the end of this month and later in summer " The Siege of Paris".

There are also rumors about a third expansion late this year.

I just prefer to experience the story all at once so i wait for those DLC to be released.


And yes, you can buy the DLC ingame in the store for like 15 bucks each but its just cheaper to just buy the GOLD release of Valhalla that already includes the Season pass.

the best recommendation is check gameplay videos,

Thank you all for the info :) I was a little afraid to watch too many videos so as not to spoil. I recently played "Fable Anniversary", "Mass Effect Andromeda", and "The Witcher 3". I really liked these games.

Assassins Creed Odyssey plays closest to the Witcher 3 i would say.
The story is not as good but i actually like the pure gameplay ( combat, exploring, doing quests) more then in Witcher.
