After a year of hiatus, the Assassin’s Creed franchise returns. This time not as an assassin in Rome, not as a medjay in Egypt or as a mercenary in Greece. No, this time you are a Viking looking for a new home. It’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. Can the series go back to its former glory, or is it no longer recognizable from the Assassin’s Creed games from the past? You find out in the Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla review.
Norway and England
Each Assassin’s Creed takes place in a different setting. Over the years we have visited places like Masyaf, Rome, Paris, Egypt, Greece and many more. We often did this at important moments in history such as the American Revolution or the Renaissance. And now it is the turn to take your first steps in Norway. You play Eivor, a Viking who goes to England with a group of other Vikings, one of which is your brother. Looking for a new habitat. But not only the Vikings travel to England. There are also a number of members of “The Hidden Ones” with you, including Basim. And what role they play …
Back to its roots?
Over the years, Assassin’s Creed has deviated quite a bit from how the games once were. Being a real assassin felt less and less important. For example, in a game like Black Flag you were mainly a pirate, and in Odyssey you were a mercenary instead of an assassin. Since you now play the role of a Viking, you can rightly ask the question whether there will be any more deviations from the ‘assassin being’. Vikings weren’t the sneakiest fighters in history. Jelle and JJ tell you how Assassin’s Creed Valhalla works out in this review. the Premium, very extensive review you can here find.
