7. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Vikings are cool, but Valhalla didn’t add much to the series.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set in England and Norway, with players taking the role of a Viking named Eivor, who comes to blows with the Saxons led by king Alfred the Great in the 9th century. Like the earlier Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, this is a role-playing game with a large open-world to explore, and also features dialog choices. Meanwhile, you also level up Eivor during the game, improving his skills in the process.

The thing is that, and despite the cool Viking setting, this will feel incredible familiar to anyone who played Odyssey… Nonetheless, Ubisoft’s Viking adventure is still the best-selling game in the series to date. And there’s no doubt that taken on its own merits, this is a meaty game with a lot to offer those new to the series.
