Destructoid zic(e) in recenzie ca e mai simplificat decat Odyssey pe partea de mecanici RPG.

However, Ubisoft also scaled back almost everything else from the way it was represented in Odyssey. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is much less of an RPG. Eivor doesn't feel as though he's given much autonomy over the story's direction, and the dialogue choice conversations fall short of making an impact more often than not.

The gear system has been significantly stripped down, as the equipment Eivor receives is mostly found as semi-major rewards for exploration.
