ComingSoon's Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök DLC review explains why the biggest Assassin's Creed expansion only exemplifies Valhalla's issues.
Azfar Rayan from NoobFeed writes - Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök isn't a bad game, but it isn't particularly fantastic either. You can still have a good time with Dawn of Ragnarök if you're still craving Valhalla after hours of gameplay.
I'm waiting for it to drop to 24.99. It's too expensive for an SP with an MT shop.
Also this update BORKED THE GAME! changing armors or runes since it installed has frozen the game requiring a hard reset (been going on over a month and still no fix as of 4/16)
Vamers says: “Dawn of Ragnarok is first and foremost, an end-game continuation of the Asgard story in the main game. Unlike Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris, players enter a brand-new world that is absolutely massive in scale. Similarly, gameplay additions and story attempt to reach ambitious new heights that only the likes of Norse Mythology would ever allow. With this in mind, it features a story that spans around 25 hours, and additional content to keep players busy for a good twenty thereafter. New gameplay additions like the Hugr-Rip and the Atgeir will keep fans of the base game engaged at all times too, making it a perfect expansion for players who want more of Odin. Dawn of Ragnarok is good, and will tide any fan over until the next game in the franchise comes around.”
Ali writes: "If you love the mythological setting, then Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök may be one of the best expansions in the series."
Most complaints of the reviewer are that you have to control the difficulty of the game based on how powerful you are going into it from the base game. I don't see this as a negative. The alternative is to ignore everything they earned and gained or to require everyone to have it all to compete.
Giving players the options to control the difficulty seems to be a problem in reviews and yet we see reviews of games w/o difficulty options criticized. It's like Ubisoft can't win by leaving the control in the hands of the player.
