Good game

Whistleblower DLC even better.

Out of the latest three RPG-style AC games, I prefer this one over the other two. I was originally not going to play Valhalla just based on everything I had heard about the game like the big map, long main story, settlement management etc. Also noticed that some of the controls were changed from the previous two games, but after getting started, the game started feeling more fluid compared to Odyssey and Origins. In the other two with location objectives, I felt the need to complete every single location right away, but in Valhalla with massively cut down looting, the game felt much better when you could just play and focus on the story instead of deviating to get some loot in the middle of a quest.

Combat in Valhalla is easily the best of the three RPGs. Odyssey's problem was endless mathematics to figure out the best combination of perks in your gear and constantly changing some bits of armor just to get a few more points of damage in, and still yet you would find yourself fighting one basic opponent for multiple minutes. Origins was the most straight forward, just go with the type of weapon you like and pick the one with most damage. Valhalla had some customisation regarding what style you want to play and combat felt smooth and fluid while making the player feel like a strong warrior.

When it comes to the much whined about size of the map and story, I admit, it did feel a bit overwhelming at some points. I primarily play FPS games and played ACs as a sort of cool down game when I didn't feel like grinding competitive games, but even then I had to take a few weeks of hiatus from Valhalla to come back to the game for it to feel fresh and rewarding again.

I got myself the season pass with the two story extensions in Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris, but opted to not play Dawn of Ragnarök.
- Wrath of the druids was packed with more world activities to grind, which felt like slowing down the tempo of the story, but overall a nice pack of content for the game. Good story and cool map in Ireland.
- Siege of Paris was REALLY GOOD and far better than Wrath of the Druids. The story was well written and nicely paced and never felt like I was doing anything unimportant. I really liked the numerous bossfights that litter the storyine every so often and every assassination event with the setup phase and information gathering was a nice touch. All this made Siege of Paris seem more real in a way. Overall a great, fluid DLC.

So good I had to play it twice in a row.

Everything great:
- Stunning look
- Very good vibes
- Immersive atmosphere
- Story writing
- Gameplay mechanics
- Overall flow and pacing
- Difficulty was just right
- Absolutely perfect soundtrack
- Literally everything

At first the only minor "flaw" in my eyes was the relatively high price for a game that takes well under 10 hours to beat without any hurry. I still doubted myself on that however, and after playing the whole game again, I can confidently say that the game is 100% worth whatever the price. The runtime just feels right.

Easy to follow plot, not too difficult but also not the easiest puzzles, jawdropping visuals, fun interactions with other characters, soundtrack gives you goosebumps and fits perfectly with the current mood in the game.

Overall a good game.
Having played and enjoyed AC: Origins, I always thought that Odyssey was the inferior game of the two. Combat was smootherin Origins and Odyssey goes a bit too much RPG to my taste, as for me playing AC is for fun, I'm not trying to be a competetive player in this game, there's other games for that.
Still, there were things I really liked. Even though I never liked the dialogue options feature in general, the dialogue overall was good and laid back in just the right places, Origins' was so much more serious. Ability wheel was a terrifying feature in the beginning but you get used to it and it lets you choose your own playstyle. Map was huge and it tool a lot of time to move around, but ship combat was fun.

Took about 155 hours to play the main story and all the DLC:s all the way to the end credits. Especially the very ending was super cool to me, finally tying AC: Odyssey to the rest of the timeline.

One of the best AC games ever made and in my opinion the best of the last 3 AC RPGs. Great storytelling, very well written characters, interesting lore for AC and Egypt and the game looks amazing. Takes about 100 hours to play through the main story and side quests + DLC content.

I want to compare Origins to the newer Odyssey on some points: I like how Origins story is written ready and doesn't allow you as a player to decide what the character says and it works that way. I never felt like Bayek made an irrational choice or answered awkwardly to anyone during the dialogue in the game.
Combat feels better in Origins to my taste. Odyssey has too many functions even when you can only have some of them active at a time. Time to kill is shorter in Origins and shield gives you passive protection while shielding, but parrying is harder in Origins, but also more rewarding when successful. Overall smoother combat experience. Because of good combat, Origins players have to rely much less on stealth than in almost any other AC, but that's fine because being a warrior suits Bayek's character.

About the DLCs: Hidden Ones is shorter but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It didn't really give anything new to the game apart from a few new targets to kill. Curse of the Pharaohs was overall more fun to play and had a better story with new activities. Satisfying ending to the game.

Simply one of the best video games ever made

Started out playing FPS games on CSS. Switched to CSGO with everybody else. Later switched onwards to Overwatch and currently still playing that but had to download CSS back on my computer for occational casual FPS sessions.

Imo CSS is better than CSGO

THIS IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS.

except no plot. just shooting red guys...

Very underrated masterpiece of a game.
