"Assassin&s;s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök is a very continuous expansion, both for good and for bad, and that presents us with some other novelty that, without getting it right at all, gives a small breath of fresh air to …"
Read original review"Unless you’re a hardcore Valhalla fan or someone who is particularly enamored with finding a collecting the (admittedly cool-looking) new armor sets, wait for this one to go on sale to satiate your craving to plunder."

"Ragnarök&s;s characters deliver the usual AC Valhalla feeling with a new coat of paint. That&s;s good, but it doesn&s;t tear you off your stool."
Read original review"Assassin&s;s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok continues to showcase Ubisoft&s;s greatest works. It&s;s a rewarding addition to an already impressive list of DLC, designed for one of the best RPGs they&s;ve ever made."

"Dawn of Ragnarok is the most ambitious Valhalla DLC and arguably the most ambitious DLC out of the three new Assassin&s;s Creed games."

"Dawn of Ragnarok is a bit shallow and nothing more of a "more of the same". Still a decent content for the Assassin&s;s Creed Valhalla fans, but it could have been much more."
Read original review"One of the most spectacular expansions in the history of Assassin&s;s Creed and, without a doubt, the most extensive, with good stories to tell, although in the background it does not provide so many playable novelties."
Read original review"Assassin&s;s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is fun and rich but shallow expansion. The mythic take on Assassin&s;s Creed adventure could have been great thanks to a nice setting and the new powers, but it feels just another skin of …"

"While Assassin&s;s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok has some brilliant ideas, it&s;s far from the epic expansion that you&s;d want it to be. It&s;s hampered by reused mechanics and a story that&s;s woefully disconnected from your main character&s;s arc."
