Boss fights offer a bit of pushback which the normal rank-and-file enemies lack, but that's mostly thanks to some special mechanic or pattern you have to adhere to.
I use “challenges” lightly because you won’t find too many in Dawn of Ragnarok.
This mostly just serves to cut out the traditional travel time, though. My favorite power came from a lowly raven, and it allows Eivor to transform into a bird themselves and fly across the world or to reach a tactically advantageous position without having to tiptoe among the enemy. It also allows you to disguise yourself as the enemy to infiltrate camps, but I found that novelty wore off rather quickly, as it is really only interesting when the campaign makes you do it, and largely more of a hassle then your normal threat-removal strategies. This includes giving yourself fire or frost giant powers for a limited period of time, making you resistant to specific elements and allowing you to take a dip in lava flows without burning to a crisp, for instance. The biggest and best new feature of Dawn of Ragnarok is the new Hugr-Rip, a magical bracer that lets you steal powers from certain enemies and use them as your own.

There’s also a bigger than usual horde of bugs and blemishes to contend with from start to finish. Fresh takes on several of the series’ established loot and quest systems help to keep the things fluid and nuanced, though progression could use refinement. It walks a fine line between historical tourism, top-shelf conspiracy theory, and veiled mysticism against the backdrop of a grounded and focused story. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a big, bold, and ridiculously beautiful entry to the series that finally delivers on the much-requested era of the Viking and the messy, political melting pot of England’s Dark Ages.
