Admittedly, there’s nothing here that we haven’t seen before in open-world games, and it could be argued that it simply follows the formula of other Ubisoft open-world games.

Each element works flawlessly, and the levelling system, improved combat, massive amounts of side content, beautiful graphics and compelling storyline all combine to make Valhalla one of the finest games released this year.
