Like its predecessors, released alongside Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey, Viking Age gives players a new way to explore the map while learning about the real-world history that inspired the game and how the developers brought it to life.ĭiscovery Tour: Viking Age provides eight combat-free quests for players to complete, each of which provides insight into the lives and cultures of the Anglo-Saxons and Norse peoples living through the era. Just like with other games in the history-spanning series, Valhalla presents a great opportunity to learn about different eras and ways of life, and Ubisoft is once again using its work and research to create a unique educational opportunity.Įdutainment games are nothing new, but while the genre is typically associated with titles meant to teach young children basic concepts, the Discovery Tour games make a strong case for rethinking that premise. As Eivor, players must form alliances and fight enemies, all while traversing a carefully crafted open-world meant to recreate the era in an authentic manner. I hope it is successful enough for them to finish the intended trilogy.Last year, Assassin's Creed Valhalla took gamers on an action-packed journey through the era of Vikings and their ninth century expansion into the British Isles. Personally I generously offer it 7/10, and would recommend seeing it. But I know they intended to produce a trilogy so I'd like to believe the opportunity to release sequels will give the audience more of what they're looking for, while this movie may have been a bit too much set up rather than development. As far as movie adaptations of video games, this is a far better rendition than many other attempts. The action scenes are well choreographed and exciting, countered with what may be a few too many close up facial expressions and dialogue that might easily confuse someone less familiar with the base plot of the franchise. The change of the Animus from a bed-like system to the VR style arm was something I originally disliked, but that change ends up playing well into the film visually and aids in parts of the story. Despite that, the film remains a fun and intriguing watch. Following a somewhat parallel story to the original game, I do wish they would've stuck with original characters.
