| Assassin’s creed valhalla norse mythology |
In england, where most of our story is set, the christian faith has recently gained a firm foothold, but there are still many pagan religions flourishing. Most notable of these is the pantheon of gods worshipped by the norse people who lived in the regions we now call norway, sweden and denmark. This eclectic collection of gods includes such figures as odin, the allfather, and king of all gods freyja, goddess of love and battle, and loki, the obstinate trickster.
For all the norse characters in our story, including our protagonist eivor, these gods and the stories about them constitute a living religion. They offer comfort and wisdom to the men and women who take them seriously. But these were not gods who offered revelation or promised salvation. Similar to the greco roman gods, the norse gods were not paragons of virtue, nor were they beings to which anyone should aspire, for they were as changeable as the seasons and as unpredictable as the weather.
In the norse conception of reality, the world was broken up into nine realms, with asgard being the home of the most important gods. Accessed by a bridge of light known as the bifrost, asgard was the site of odin's hall of slain champions called vallhall or valhalla. This was the final resting place of all warriors who died bravely in battle, weapon in hand, and whose reward it was to remain at odin's side drinking and warring until the coming of ragnarok, the battle at the end of time.
As one might expect from a people who valued courage and honor, the norse approached their gods somewhat bluntly. They did not pray to them asking for redemption. They bargained with them, making sacrifices for a stroke of good fortune. Where virtue and sin and redemption are hallmarks of the christian faith, for the norse sensibility, ideas like honor and reputation held much greater sway. But this does not mean that the norse religion lacked notions of goodness or ethics.
Through sources like the poetic edda, we can find amid tales of debauchery, deceit, and cruelty, passages of great beauty and common sense. In a poem called the hávamál, ostensibly written by odin himself, we find this verse: the unwise man lies awake all night, pondering everything over and over. And when morning comes, his mind is weary and his burdens have not yet lifted. Wise words from the allfather. So do as he says, and stop your worrying. Get a good night's sleep and rise refreshed. The gates to valhalla will soon be open.
The assassin creed series returns to us two years after its latest release, and the valhalla game is the twelfth edition of this ancient series, and after more than three years of development from ubisoft montreal studios, this release comes to us with the end of a generation and the beginning of another generation, so can the game provide a distinct experience after this wait, this is what we will tell in the next lines of our review.
The story of the game revolves around the character of eivor in the period of the vikings ’invasion of britain, and the events put you in a struggle between the assassins and the templar and their continuous struggle in different historical periods and with different names, the story was presented in an interesting manner and with many surprises and shocking events between now and then and the other with great freedom in choices and decisions that you will see their impact on some events of the story,your main task in the game is to work to find allies from different regions of britain, and each region has its own story chapter.
You have to finish all of its missions to get the loyalty of this region and support you in the remainder of the game. The main story presents various tasks and new ideas so that it does not involve you in any kind of repetition.
Apart from the story missions, the game will offer you many side missions in a direct and indirect way. Some characters will have a sign of their own mission and others may discover it by accident. Here the level of these missions varies greatly.
There are many traditional monotonous tasks such as killing a character or liberating a prisoner and in at the same time, there are some special missions that offer new ideas and may need a lot of time to complete them. The game will also offer you an option to play in a fictional world with mythical characters from the viking world, but it remains a side story option that you can avoid if it does not suit you.
One of the most prominent things you are trying to present is freedom in everything from options and game settings such as the option to activate or close the bloody and determine the difficulty of fighting separately from the difficulty of the sequence and hiding until to choose the hero, whether male or female, or switch between them during the story and you can even modify the exploration options and modify the shape of your character using different tattoos and distinctive hair styles.
The game world is full of various activities, missions, hunting, battles of legendary monsters, and even entertainment and side games with distinctive dice games or even poetic duels that were famous in that era, which will bring you additional points for the attractiveness of your character that will help you in the future to find an additional option for conversations to finish some tasks in new ways.
Upon your arrival in england, you will create your own village and gradually develop it by bringing in various resources from the battles or raids that you carry out with the members of your clan. You will also find various resources so that the blacksmith will develop your armor and weapons to cope with the upcoming challenges in the story.
The fighting style of the game has been developed, so the character's movement has been made smoother, with endless options for skills and development, using the development points that you get from completing various missions to explore.
Battles and raids are the most prominent additions to this release, as the battles are epic wars on fortified enemy fortresses with a large number of fighters from both sides, and you must use the equipment available to break into the enemy's defenses and defense barricades, closed doors and some castles need to break into several doors down to the enemy commander to end the battle, and for the raids it is your preferred choice with your clan members to attack villages and some residential areas, storm them and plunder their wealth, in order to develop your village.
The game offers a variety of game environments and visually dazzling, while providing lighting in a way that we have never seen before, adding an aesthetic to the picturesque world of the game, as the sunset and sunrise and the reflection of lighting on the surfaces of the grass and your feeling of the difference in timing in a distinctive way increases your fascination with the elaborate details of the world.
Well, our experience on the new generation devices was better than the experience of playing on the current generation, but it was not without problems, as we faced a slight decrease in the number of tires when large battles occurred with a large number of fighters. Tree or door locked and you cannot finish the job because of it.
As usual, ubisoft has created a well-known arabization game, starting from an elaborate localization of the menus and with neat lines and clear style with options to choose the appropriate font size up to the effort made in poetic dueling that depends on presenting a balanced arabic poetic text and at the same time preserving the meaning used in the original dialogue and even the most prominent details in the map or even the map of the regions in the events of the game have been transferred to the arabic language in a distinctive way.
