The most recent expansion for
Assassin's Creed Valhalla,
Dawn of Ragnarök, takes players once again into Valhalla as
Odin in a tale that transcends its source material, serving up a videogame feast baked in Norse mythology. But does it do enough to truly expand the ACV experience?
Yes, and no is the short answer. Here's an excerpt:
So what you’re left with here is an expansion that presents an excellent spin on the sagas featuring the immutable, fate-defying Odin as your lead. Eivor’s presence here isn’t overly felt outside of the obvious and obligatory Ravensthorpe connections, leaving this as something very close to a standalone experience, which in my opinion it would have been better served being, rather than as a true continuation of Eivor’s English conquest and settlement. The lauded gameplay shifts are fun to play with, but I didn’t find them overtly required, and I certainly didn’t need to shift my Valhalla playstyle too much, which is something I was looking forward to.
