AC Valhalla - the music kind of sucks

[Oligarchenemy]

I absolutely despise the boat music

 

[Datajoy]

I actually turn the music off on a lot of games. I might get my gamer card revoked for turning it off in Nier Automata. I found the atmosphere cooler when it's just the austere sci-fi clips and boops that are ambient in the world

 

[CurseVox]

Hard disagree OP. The music is fantastic.

 

[TheYanger]

what, hte music is one of the most standout parts to me

 

[Nemesis121]

wut? music is great, i love the slow build up during exploration..

 

[DeepSearch]

I haven't heard it but I will be disappointed if there's no viking/Nordic folk/neopagan music in the veins of Wardruna etc. in the game.

Then you're in luck! The front man for Wardruna collaborated on the soundtrack. A fact I just discovered, after thinking to myself that the music sounded suspiciously similar.

Listen to Wardruna's theme to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Wardruna’s Einar Selvik has released the theme to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and announces the band's 2021 North American tour dates

Bzzzt wrong. The music is phenomenal.

 

[Deleted member 34132]

The music is awesome. The only thing that's missing is some tracks by Heilung.

Nice!

Anything like Les Bâtards du Nord or stuff like Storm, Falkenbach etc. (but without the metal) at all?

I hear my roommate playing it in the living room all the time and I frankly have never disagreed with a take on Era as much as I disagree with this one lol

 

[The Masked Mufti]

I was thinking today about how much I love it, Jesper Kyd's work usually resonates with me.

Gamings Hans Zimmer

 

[HellofaMouse]

the music is one thing about asscreed series that i like with no reservation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Funny you mentioned Falkenbach, I was just thinking of posting this.

 

[Bru]

Valhalla's score is atmospheric and mystical, that may not suit everyone. Personally, the music makes me yearn and recall hikes in some of Britain's most remote, rugged and beautiful places.

I think the OST is incredible.

 

[carlsojo]

You are out of your mind, the music is incredible. Especially when just out roaming.

 

[snausages]

Huh, I think the music is really good. At least what I played standed out, I think its Jesper Kyd who does it.

I stopped playing the Hitman games cause they fired that guy, he still got it I reckon.

 

[nearmisspacific]

My partner and I were just talking about how the music might be the best of the series so far. It is certainly my favorite; it doesn't sound like "generic fantasy music" like some of the previous titles. To be fair, there are a few tracks that are "generic", but the atmospheric/reactive music is clearly inspired by BOTW (in a good way).

 

[ThreepQuest64]

Not owning the game and after Skillup's review probably not until a huuuge sale. But I've been listening to the soundtrack for WEEKS. It's amazing.

 

[HanSoloCup]

Nah, it's fantastic. That said, let's get a poll, because I love when a thread backfires :)

 

[WindsHowling]

Completely disagree. One of the best OST's in the franchise.

 

[-Tetsuo-]

Excuse me what

 

[drifter444]

Yeah I like it

 

[Gravemind IV]

What? It's great. It's really elevating the game.

 

[Kaswa101]

Boo this man. The OST is amazing.

Listened to it on repeat on Apple Music just yesterday

 

[Pitchfork]

I respect your opinion OP but HELL NO!!! The music is incredible

 

[Deleted member 12323]

no way. it's excellent!

 

[Tunichtgut]

The soundtrack is awesome, and i haven't even played the game yet...

 

[sam777]

The music is amazing, I love the little themes that play as you coming up a mountain

 

[SJRB]

Best OST since AC2.

 

[Plax]

I can't agreed with this. While it's not the best AC music (so far), it's doing quite well early on.

 

[THE RABID MOOSE]

Oh fuck no, this soundtrack is so god damn in theme with the game it's adds a whole other layer of depth to the story, characters and world. All three composer especially since they FINALLY for Jesper Kid back, it's just fantastic!

 

[FusionNY]

Out of the North is fantastic. Best song in the entire series.
