Ubisoft’s long-running Assassin’s Creed series heads to the Viking era with Valhalla, a big open-world action RPG that sits alongside Origins and Odyssey in the modern trilogy. On PC via Steam, it’s competing with other sprawling map-clearers like Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3, but leans harder into raids, settlement building and a punchier melee focus than earlier entries.

Is Valhalla more stealth game or RPG brawler?

Expect stealth as an option rather than the main event. You’ll spend a lot of time in close-quarters fights, upgrading gear, and pushing story arcs across England and Norway. The settlement acts as your hub, giving progression a sense of momentum beyond just ticking off icons on the map.

• Large campaign with regional story arcs — better for long sessions than quick dips
• Raids and settlement upgrades — a clear loop of earning resources and unlocking new facilities
• PC/Steam version — useful if you want achievements, controller support and library integration
