"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."

"‎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.‎"

"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."
