AusGamers

Absolutely stunning
Treats Viking history and sagas with respect
Less an Assassin's Creed game and more a Viking redemption game
Unique Biomes
You'll be hooked on Orlog before you know it
Epic soundtrack
Magnus Bruun is sublime as male Eivor

Raids add a grindy element to the game
Some world events aren't explained all that well to follow
Screen tearing and a few glitches here and there we hope get patched sooner, rather than later

Eivor's saga is truly epic. Settlement adds a lot to the gaming experience. World full of mysteries
secrets and small stories. Superior combat system.

Even on Xbox Series X
it has some graphical glitches and flaws. Artificial intelligence has some absurd behaviors.

The world is large, beautiful, and diverse

Consistent and complex progression that sidesteps issues with grinding
Longform narrative arcs come together for an engaging and cohesive adventure

Xbox Tavern

Amazingly vast and huge open-world for you to explore,
undreds of hours of gameplay for you to tuck into
Excellent combat system and mechanics

Another huge and exhaustive Ubisoft open-world with way too many map markers
Characters tend to lack charisma
Objectives aren't fully engaging and at times Eivor comes across as a lacky

Stuff

An engaging story with an intriguing protagonist
A satisfying assortment of bonus abilities and combat perks
With a 65
+ hour playtime, it's great value for money

Survival is surprisingly tricky, especially early-game when you can't carry many rations
Bugs and glitches break the immersion and may crash your system
An overwhelming map that might be off-putting for some

GameWatcher

Great music
Good graphics
Character moving/combat animations, as always with Ubisoft, are great
Big open world
Varied inventory selection
Ability to choose settings for exploration, combat, and stealth is great, even if the easiest settings are still a bit unforgiving
Seriously, music is really good

Horrible story and narrative
Open world activities are repetitive and mainly amount to going somewhere and pressing a button to loot it
Combat is a boring button-mash with dodges and blocks, and lacks the rhythm and awesomeness of the series' classic counter-attack system and combo executions
Really, really horrible story and narrative
Skills are boring and mainly amount to little number increases
Power system was stupid back in Origins, and it is still stupid now
Completely stops pretending Assassin's Creed is about Assassins or creeds
Should be called Vikings: Road to Valhalla and 99% of the game's story issues would go away
