To talk about many works under Ubisoft, I think the "Assassin's Creed" series is never a topic that cannot be avoided.

If you are an old player in this series, I believe you have been a one-minute man!

Along the entire journey of Assassin's Creed, you may also see some clues about the "evolution". Although the general changes have not changed much, they can always bring about a "although not many but slightly sensible" change.

As the third work of "New Generation Assassin's Creed", "The Palace of Valhalla" has undoubtedly been given a certain mission again. In terms of concept, it continues the basic gameplay of the first two works. However, the difference is that through some minor changes, this work brings a more free play style.

When familiar elements are combined with some new systems, a magnificent drawing is gradually presented to us. This time, we follow the protagonist's perspective again to a disputed world and experience the different "Assassin's Creed".

Story background

The story of "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" happened around 873 AD. After an unknown disaster, a tribe called Viking fell into chaos. They were forced to abandon their happy pastoral life and were directed by God to new lands where they built new homes. The game tells the epic adventure of Evor, a fierce Viking Raider who is controlled by players, rising in the story of battle and glory.

The game provides a fascinating Viking experience, bringing players into a beautiful and mysterious open world amid the cruel background of England's dark ages. After the fantasy storyline is opened in the middle of the game, players can also enter the realm of the Nordic gods by drinking the magic medicine and travel to Asgard. This progressive experience from reality to fiction is intentionally or unintentionally blurring the boundary between historical facts and myths.

Gorgeous combat system

In combat, this game still uses an action-based combat system and a digital display. In the game, players can accumulate skill slots located in the lower left corner of the screen by attacking enemies and activate skills using ranged/melee weapons.

In the trial version, four skills are provided by default, including wall shooting of bows and arrows, locking continuous shooting, poison arrows and sleep arrows. Melee skills include grapple, poison attachment, flying jump attack and flying axe.

As the game progresses, players will unlock more skills and gain enhanced skills.

Compared with the AOE skill that had been damaged by hundreds of thousands of damage after the protagonist strengthened, the attack in "The Palace of Valhalla" is implicit in terms of performance effects and hit feedback.Many, pay more attention to the feel of the knife to the flesh and the refreshing finishing skills.

The flying axe skill will throw axes based on the number of enemies around

The damage expectations are displayed directly when the enemy is aimed at by a ranged weapon

Break the defense of weakness

There are many kinds of weapons selection, such as battle axe, bow and arrow, and classic sleeve swords, and can also be dual-held, allowing players to freely choose a combat method that suits them. In the game, the enemy has two slots: "Health" and "Stopness". There is no need to say much about the health. After the Stamina slot is cleared, the enemy will enter an unbalanced state and breathe on the spot. At this time, the protagonist can execute him before pressing R3.

Daming the enemy's endurance can perform executions on the enemy

Long-range executions can be performed on enemies, which act as a skill of the Raven branch

rich exploration content

"The Palace of Valhalla" still uses a traditional open world map. The combination of multiple humanities and natural scenery makes the atmosphere of the picture very eye-catching. The different atmospheres generated in different environments, even if you don't consider the task, just wander around the forest stream, the relaxed and pleasant environment presentation is enough to bring players deeply into the world of the game.

The game's map exploration is also done very well. In addition to opening some exploration points on the map at the same time, the map display of this game is very refreshing, and there are no vast icons that make players feel confused. The lightweight map marks bring players a stronger sense of exploration.

The exploration points that need to be discovered through observation are in large numbers in the game in the figure below. Some of the marked advanced equipment acquisition points are usually buried underground or in some other areas that are difficult to directly discover and reach. After careful observation and search, you can find satisfactory equipment by entering at the correct entrance.

Unlock the tunnel

There are a large number of wild animals in the game. By hunting, you can obtain corresponding materials to strengthen the character's equipment and unlock special materials. Players' upgrade is no longer a step-by-step enhancement of improving skills, but a slow accumulation of growth.

Brand new details

"Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" is very mature in technology. Whether it is the game's pictures, the characters' movements and expressions, the feel during combat, or even the cutscenes' movement, it has been greatly improved, and players can get a better functional experience in the game.

In addition, the rich and diverse invisibility methods in the game have also brought a lot of fun to players - such as crowd stealth, bench stealth, etc. Players need to press the button to enter the stealth state while wearing a hood. Similarly, one-hit killing also returns, and "the return of assassination" is also a selling point in this game during publicity.

IGN rating

IGN Rating: 8 points, excellent

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla has a large and beautiful open world driven by cruel life and the dirty work of the conqueror. Although there are many bugs that should be, it left a deep impression on us on many other levels.

If I were asked to score, I would like to score 8.5. I think "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" has two major characteristics in overall quality that are more attractive to me.

On the one hand, in the inheritance of the design characteristics of the previous work, "The Palace of Heroes" can be said to have completely taken the essence and removed the dross. In terms of picture technology, it has created a magnificent and magnificent world landscape as always.

On the other hand, in terms of content innovation, the new design of this game for combat, equipment, skills and other gameplay content is full of highlights, and the new plunder and siege modes are also full of atmosphere.

Finally, if you are a player who is more interested in Vikings and Nordic myths, you can recommend it. Otherwise, let’s talk about it a year later. Ayu Mall is self-deprecating and "Buy late at night and there will be a discount". You will have a 20% discount after 3 months, 50% discount after half a year, and you will have a fracture after one year!
