The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 37 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $11.99 at 80 percent off still sits 100 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Assassin's Creed® Origins ($8.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Gotham Knights ($59.99, scores 16).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 15 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 61.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 5 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 2,616 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 61.3 hours; clearing it takes 153, which is 2.5 times the campaign.

254.9 hours played Honestly, I didn't expect to spend almost 255 hours in Valhalla 😂 The game is huge. The world looks amazing, especially at 1440p, and just exploring England, raiding places, hunting, finding gear and doing random activities kept me playing for a long time. Combat is fun once you unlock more abilities and build your character properly. There are a lot of weapons, skills and gear to experiment with...
its really good, fixed every problem I had with AC odyssey. combat is buttery smooth and the movement is good, they added sprint back thankfully, collectables feel less tedious to do. also its its criminal that this has a lower rating than AC origins this game is far better. also very well optimised despite the large file size. i obviously dont play it on this machine but IT RUNS ON IT AT A RESPECTABLE 25FPS
I loved AC Odyssey and Origins. In fact, Odyssey was probably my favorite AC game, along with Black Flag, having played all of them multiple times. But Valhalla felt really overwhelming yet boring. The world is big, the quests are endless, but it never convinced me to fully immerse myself in the game and be invested in the story. Now 72 hours later, I still haven't beat the game. I will, but it just doesn't feel...
