Can't blame a couple for wanting to rekindle the flame in their relationship after a while.
Locked the game to 60 with RTSS and most of the stutters are gone now on my PC. It is actually pretty smooth and enjoyable now for 99% of the time.
Gameplay wise there is a lot of stuff that I didn't see coming, they are trying to keep gameplay and side collectibles entertaining.
For the story: It's a descend Vikings saga, so far. No complains in that regard. (5hours in)

Can't find the Fkn key to that chest or figure out how to complete the mission lol
Anyone knows what to do in the sidequest where one npc talks about a magician? I have no idea what to do here.
This new side mission system is often a bit too vague for my taste....

Decided to grab this on series x over pc. Pretty amazed and how great it looks, and seems to be a pretty solid 60fps lock at 4k.
I am noticing some screen tearing though. Anyone else?

I have a lot of thoughts and am indeed going to be writing a review eventually but I just wanted to swing by to say the following:
I feel like you can really tell this is the first game to come out post Ubisoft's realisation that all their games being near identical formulas was a detriment. This game is obviously very much still an Assassin's Creed game, but it also feels super different to any other game in the franchise, including Origins/Odyssey (imho of course).
It's almost just vibes more than anything. Really enjoying it so far.

Hope so, I used it on PS4, I see no reason not to transfer to PS5 if the game and the save does...
Totally agree. Looking forward to your review!
All the quest I've done so far have clues or objects near the quest. The quest giver also frequently lead you to the right area.
The road the NPC talks about is a bit hard to follow. Use your raven, there is just a single house in the Area/woods - thats where you need to go.
Anyway to disable the markers that appear above some npc on the settlements? The blue thing above them. Don't find that option on the menu.
Where to start the Beserker mission? Installed it, restarted the game but got no popup or clue or anything.
Yeah I agree, it's a huge change from Odyssey in terms of pace, flow, and atmosphere. Really does stand on its own, I'm impressed much more than I thought I would be
Agree with this. It's easily the worst part of the game thus far. Terrible audio all around. It all sounds compressed to hell or just extremely low quality.
Agree with this, and the dynamic range is really off. Volume of sounds drops off dramatically at small distances lol.
The primary attack/hit sounds are really crappy and low quality too. They sound PS2 era. Not sure why the audio is bad considering Odyssey had fantastic audio.
Can someone explain how raids work?
So I've raided a place and killed a load of people and then nothing happens? Shouldn't I get some XP or at least an acknowledgment that I've completed that area?

I've got a stupid question, how can i see my resources? Thinking of upgrading my axe, but i don't want to do that if i have few resources to spare.
Edit: Just saw it, it's on the side of the inventory screen. Don't know how i missed it...

The goal is to find the treasure.
I could be wrong, but I want to remember that after getting 2/3 or something like that there is a raid complete message 🤔
You probably need to progress further. It will be marked when it's available.
This one had me lost so I had to look it up because I couldn't follow the guy. It's a bit (200m or so) east-by-southeast of the quest marker in the wooded area, there's a gate/fence and a hut behind it where the guy he's talking about is outside.
Same. I tried burning everything too. I think it's more of a flavor text than an actual event.
I think you might only get that message after unlocking your settlement. It becomes very clear after you arrive in England. I remember having the same issue when raiding at the beginning in norway.
Does the combat improve later on? I'm sort of into the story and location of this game but the early impressions of fighting were terrible.
Not expecting DMC or anything like that but something with a little bit more brains than those early raids indicate. The boss fights I've done have been really terrible as well.
Maybe I should just spec for stealth instead

Apparently it gets better when you unlock more abilities. Problem is, many cool abilities are inside treasure chests.
Should be their new Ubisoft Connect Cloud save system with carry over the saves. Carries them over cross-platform too. I started on Xbox X. Carried the save over to PC then carried that save over to Xbox Series X.
Everything should carry over. All the Ultimate edition content carried over. Again, even across different platforms.
The world events are so, so lame. Why the hell they removed the multi layered questlines from Odyssey, they were the best part of the experience! They have streamlined the clutter, which is appreciated, but I enjoyed my adventure more when the reward for exploring new areas was a sprawling questline with a narrative with multiple characters that often tied to the main plot through the cult of Kosmos, and not these lame ass mini-quests. Even when they try to be funny and off the wall they fail due to their minuscule scale. Everything needs to be close by, and everything needs to be resolved quickly, so nothing registers as more than a small distraction.
I'm enjoying the game, but Odyssey was so much better for me, and this sorry excuse for sidequests are almost the sole culpable.

Just for clarification, every option in the sensibility settings should be set to "On" to have them activated right? The wording in the German version is a bit weird.
There will be post-launch content that takes place in Ireland. Snake Free!! Well maybe...I think "chasing the snakes out of Ireland" actually meant the Pagans.
Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing 5.1 uncompressed audio bugs with this game on the XSX. Ubisoft needs to fix this. It's really disappointing.

Found this, in case it gives peace of mind to put the DLC.
"Any additional digital content unlocked on the current-gen version of the game will be transferred to the next-gen version, including Season Passes, pre-order offers, and UBISOFT CLUB rewards."
Break everything in their house until they ask you to set it on fire. Then go do something else so their stuff respawn, then pull out out your torch, and break everything else again, it should set the things on fire. Then they'll thank you and give you the key to the chest.
I only played a few minutes of it but the first time you play as an androgynous child. I expected a glow up and gender choice after that.
Yeah, I'm not really feeling this. The combat feels a lot worse than Odyssey and the progression system just isn't all that interesting to me. The game looks great but I haven't even gotten to England yet and I already feel bored as hell with it.
Instead of drudging along any more I think this is gonna be the first trade-in of the generation for me. Shame, because if I had liked it then it would have made for a great Series X launch game.

I feel the opposite on this. The quest in Odyssey were very samey imo and were often not worth the time they took. In Valhalla the quests are quickly resolved and so far are quite varied, and if you don't want to do them you can just walk away without it cluttering up your quest log. I've been exploring a lot more in Valhalla because of this. The question marks in Odyssey were usually very underwhelming for me.
Anyone else E3 Presentation Style™ slow walking across land, taking in the beautiful countryside? It is not the prettiest game in terms of sheer graphical fidelity but walking around, listening to Sarah and Jesper's fantastic soundtrack feels amazing.
I just broke all their stuff. Shot out the panels at the top of the front of their house, and then ran outside and shot fire arrows into their home.
Yeah I did a bit of this once I got into the snowy moutaintops. The game actually looks really great at times.
I'm not in love with the combat yet or the story, but I do like the overall ambiance and feel of the setting.
I agree with this.
So far this feels like the best AC game in many years, and I quite liked both Oranges and Odyssey.
I believe they removed that feature, could be wrong, but I think I remember reading that.
I like the game, but as a fan of Odyssey it seems like they pulled back just a bit too much from that design for me. They really need to get one team at the top deciding the overall design for the franchise and stick with that vision, whichever it may be, instead of this back and forth depending on which group are developing that year.
I am really missing some of the "magic" abilities from Odyssey like Vanish and making corpses disappear. No raven scanning sucks too. I know some people were tired of it; I'd just like it as an option.

I think it's better this way since the games get old faster when they are too similar. And for a series that's releases every year or two it's more important to switch it up.
So far I'm really enjoying the game but it's definitely in a rough state. Dialogue scenes stutter all over the place, HDR isn't working properly and to pass some entrances you have to lock your framerate to 60 fps.
