The first reviews for tomorrow's highly-anticipated release of Assassin's Creed Valhalla have gone live today, and they're looking positive! Let's see what some reviewers are saying about the game so far...
Keep an eye out for our review of Assassin's Creed Valhalla on Xbox Series X in the near future!
GamesRadar (4.5/5)
"With a sprawling world to conquer and gory combat but also the chance to use that iconic hidden blade, Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings a triumphant balance to the series."
IGN (8/10)
"Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a massive, beautiful open-world fueled by brutal living and the dirty work of conquerors. It's a lot buggier than it should be but also impressive on multiple levels."
Windows Central (4/5)
"Assassin's Creed Valhalla provides a gorgeous playground to explore with excellent combat. Though the story seems unnecessarily long, it's a fun Viking tale mixed with the series' own flare and sci-fi elements."
VideoGamesChronicle (4/5)
"Valhalla’s sober detailed research is undermined a little by some slightly tipsy execution. But this is a hearty, bawdy Viking feast of a game which spins a fine tale and offers plenty to get your teeth into."
Eurogamer (No Score)
"It is a Viking saga which does at times struggle a little in reaching its destiny, and in its efforts to evolve the series has made some sacrifices to tell a stronger overall story. But it wins through, in the end quite easily, as it continues the Assassin's Creed saga for a new generation."
Assassin's Creed Valhalla currently has an OpenCritic Top Critic rating of 83 based based on 82 reviews. The game will be available tomorrow, November 10th for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, with a free next-gen upgrade also available via Smart Delivery.

Really looking forward to playing AC Valhalla, just waiting on my tracking number for my Series X.
Hopefully my copy will turn up with my Series X tomorrow....
Bit bummed that IGN gave this an 8 when they had Odyssey at a 9.2 but after seeing the other reviews i’m still excited!
Got the Ultimate Edition pre-ordered, just waiting for my Series S to turn up tomorrow (I've got a UPS tracking number) and then I can download it and get pillaging!
(well actually it'll probably end up being the weekend before I start since I'm working all week and want to get everything set up and all the games I plan on playing on Series S downloaded and installed/copied across to an external drive first...but then I'll be pillaging!!!)
Hmmm upon reading the VGC review I may wait a little to see if the day one patch fixes some of the bugs:
"It doesn’t help that the game’s performance is studded with myriad glitches, from intermittent music and teleporting allies to side quests that become incompletable if interrupted"
But when it is patched THEN I'll be pillaging!!!!
After playing Ghost of Tsushima with its great combat, this just looks janky, which is a shame as I like vikings and it’s set in England. It just looks off and unrealistic. A pass for me.
Great to see this getting good reviews. I already had it preordered anyway - along with my XSX - but now I’m even more stoked to play it. Roll on tomorrow!
You guys seen the pictures of the series x bundles in Poland with AC in the box? Even the artwork is AC vs Master Chief.
Has a 85 on Metacritic right now for the Series X..
