Assassin's Creed: Valhalla (AC: Valhalla). Single-player games for over 100 hours (2023)

You can easily spend over 100 hours in Valhalla, playing the a powerful Viking.

What's the game about?

In the newest instalment of Assassin's Creed, we play as Eivor, a male or female Viking, who together with their clan comes to the coast of 9-century England and immediately attracts the attention of the ruler of Wessex. In order to settle in a new land, we are forced to fight against hostile forces or make valuable alliances that will facilitate domestication.

What can you do for so many hours in a game?

We've grown accustomed to the form of gameplay offered by the Assassin's Creed series over the past few years. Just like in its previous installments, in Valhalla we find ourselves in a huge open world, and apart from the possibility to complete standard story missions, we also have a variety of additional activities and locations to visit. We run raids on fortresses rich in resources needed to expand the settlement, we can take part in drinking competitions or Vikings' squabbles, as well as discover mythical secrets (to be found in many places on the map).

How was the game received?

Valhalla didn't introduce too many innovations to the series, but fans finally got a chance to see what their favorite production looks like in the Viking setting, something they've been dreaming about for a long time. Despite the lack of more specific novelties, this title was received very warmly – mainly thanks to the huge world, atmosphere, the slew of activities or the exceptionally good story. We should not forget, however, that the game was launched in a very poor condition – there were quite a few bugs hindering the fun, but that didn't really damage the critical reception of Valhalla.
