Assassin’s Creed Valhalla trades a compelling plot for all-out conquest. That’s the real impetus for this entire tale. (I played as male Eivor, so, in the name of simplicity, let’s just use he/him pronouns for the rest of the review.) It’s a beautiful land, and the Vikings intend to take every square inch of it. The Vikings are going to England! After an extended prologue in Norway, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla protagonist Eivor and his/her brother Sigurd take on the Saxons in England.

It’s more Viking than assassin, so much that Valhalla feels out of place in the Assassin’s Creed lineage. It’s a brash spectacle that’s more interested in glorifying the toils of war than with quietly subduing and destabilizing the enemy. In previous games, maybe Origins or Odyssey, I would’ve methodically dismantled entire fortresses and earned that same achievement within the first few hours.Īssassin’s Creed Valhalla is indiscreet and inelegant.

It really drove home how different this Assassin’s Creed is from all the other Assassin’s Creeds. About 35 hours into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I unlocked the “Silent Viking” achievement for killing 10 consecutive enemies without alerting anyone.
