I love vikings, so i love AC Valhalla :)

I recommend the game positively because I spent 150 hours on it two first weeks that I took the game, and in total 200 hours.

So, saying the game is "bad" would be a lie.

A year ago, I wanted to play Fallout 76 by a free weekend Steam offering acces of Fallout 76 during 72h.

But the game was so unintuitive that I didn't even play for one or two hours before uninstalling it after.

In early March 2024, "before knowing about a upcoming Fallout series on Amazon Prime"

A friend suggested I try the game again with him. So bought it on Instant Gaming and after a few hours, I ended up playing alone.

Why ?

It's complicated to progres with a friend because mission and progress is only tracked for the group leader.

This means you'll get a message asking if you to "Assist leader" when you will enter in a building or cave.

Even if u was at same progress than your friend.

You will have to go back by yourself afterward in same building or cave for do "your progress"

This is why at end i finish to play it alone, "Friend given up the game"

We can consider that Fallout 76 is more an Fallout 4 with player vendors.

The interactions between players/ramdoms, "if you can call them that" mostly involve being in a group to get the XP multiplier while continuing your own adventure.

Aside from events where you have to kill mobs. "come, boom boom, kill every mobs, win and leave"

There is no vocal proximity, so communication between players is done solely through emotes.

Not even a proximity or server chat..

There is a vocal group, but most of the time, no one talks, or you'll hear background noise from players with poor-quality microphones.

"based on my experience"

Despite everything, even though the game is marketed as a multiplayer experience, it is more playable like Fallout 4 as previously mentioned.

I didn't necessarily feel like I was always doing the same tasks or missions. Even though, like in all games you need to "take a quest, complete it, and come back"

In that aspect, all games do that.

I think spending 200 hours for €10 is more than fair. I didn't buy any DLC or opt for the subscription service, as I was initially skeptical about the game at start.

I believe the game still offers a good experience for anyone wanting to play a Fallout game.

The release of the series has brought in many new players, and Bethesda decided to release a major bug-fix patch after the series on Amazon Prime.

PS: I still find it unfortunate that it took an Amazon series for them to release a bug-fix patch that players had been waiting for several years..

J'apprécie beaucoup ce jeu surtout pour ses graphismes et sa difficulté.

Il faut améliorer la précision du son in game.

Pas de chat vocal.

Il faudrait améliorer IA (SCAV).

Je n'ai pas constaté d'énormément de bug mais quelques problèmes d'optimisation.

Je trouve dommage le prix avec la TVA 20% sur le site officiel pouvant monter jusqu'à 132€ le jeu en BETA, ce qui peut laisser un léger désavantage par rapport aux autres joueurs avec un plus gros budget.

Bilan :je mets une note de 80/100 pour le manque de communication avec les autres joueurs in game.

Un chat vocal est vraiment indispensable dans un jeu pareil surtout quand on voit le trailer.
