Christoph 452 Posted 7 November 2020 Report Share Posted 7 November 2020 FYI for anyone with a ps 5 you may as well buy it on ps4 as it will have the free upgrade to the ps5 anyway. Be easier to resell then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carl the Llama 9,340 Posted 7 November 2020 Report Share Posted 7 November 2020 Looking forward to picking this up for about a fiver after 6 months when they announce the next one. AC's (Ubisoft titles in general tbh) always good to us like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zear0 301 Posted 9 November 2020 Report Share Posted 9 November 2020 Review embargo lifted (choose your oreferes outlet) today and its been positively reviewed. Still holding for for now as got a few other games on and Cyberpunk isn't miles away (until it's delayed again) and these games need a good chunk of time.  Anyone else getting it straight away or holding off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But with Spider Man and Cyberpunk coming I think ill hold out until next year. Odyssey went down in price relatively quickly so hopefully this follows the same path Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The game's worth a try. Combat has been improved, the grind definitely towned down, the protagonist okay, the story somewhat enjoyable. However it's still the same formula and you must be prepared to invested dozens of hours in it. I'm a sucker for history, lost ages and any kind of mythology, that's why I keep coming back at the series and tend to buy them at launch.  For any other I would recommend to wait until the DLCs are out and a sale.

Legend_in_blue 1,664 Posted 15 November 2020 Report Share Posted 15 November 2020    I thought I read the map is smaller than Odyssey. If it is, why should it take another 15 hours to get the platinum over Odyssey - must be a load more grinding and pointless collectibles then?  I really do wish Ubisoft would just tone it down, stick with what works, or has worked in the past (ie. AC 2 and it's spin offs) and go for quality over quantity.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester_Loyal 4,869 Posted 15 November 2020 Report Share Posted 15 November 2020 Think it's for the best tbh, it's about the only new game out at the minute, should see everyone through until next month Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The People's Hero 2,044 Posted 21 November 2020 Report Share Posted 21 November 2020 If I buy it digitally for PS4, then I buy a PS5, how does that work? Can I just re-download the PS5 version for free? What about my progress? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you’ve logged into Ubisoft Connect via the game’s menu then you can carry your save data over to PS5 and pick up where you left. Of course, make sure you have a copy of your save file also backed up on a console of USB just in case there’s an error. One thing that doesn’t carry over however is your trophy progress. Booting up Valhall on PS5 for the first time will present an identical list of trophies that won’t unlock retroactively.' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
