    It is shallow to the point that it does not deserve to be called RPG. All the things you do in the first 30 minutes of gameplay will repeat for hours. The dialogues are so ugly that it almost hurts.

    - GRIND and pay to win. Nonsense. Ruin all the game, which is potentially 7-8/10.
    - Enemy Scaling/level up. You just can't have ENOUGH level. Some guys 1-2 lvl lower can easily beat you, while you have butthurt even to kill enemy 1 lvl higher.
    - Boring missions. Bad design, like in AC black Flag. Just copy-paste quests.
    - Lack of random events, just loosing so much opportunities.
    - Few characters
    - Mixing Witcher-, Mass effect-, For Honor-, action/rpg-mechanics with AC gameplay completely failed.
    - Naval battles are soooo bad
    - AI. slightly better, than in Origins, but still bad. But their wallhacking isn't fair!

    The game itself is mediocre, nothing special. The devs just tried to make a witcher clone instead of an assassins creed game. As usual its not as good as the critics are saying and is nowhere near as good as The Witcher 3

    Pros:
    * Water is beautiful - especially the under water exploration.
    * Ship combat is solid - not as good as AC4 or Rogue, but still enjoyable. * They did a good job incorporating previous attacks / assassination styles like using the zipline from Revelations - it is very well done in this game with excellent animations. * Roaming music is excellent, along with the theme music    Pros:

    * Roaming music is excellent, along with the theme music (although they borrowed the direct theme from Assassin's Creed 2 and Ezio.
    * Mercenary system was enjoyable in the way it functioned, essentially causing boss units to come looking for you when you build up notoriety.

    Cons:

    * No Multi GPU Support - inexcusable on a AAA title that has payed licensing fees for multiple performance-impacting DRM layers (Denuvo + VMProtect) that don't prevent piracy.
    * Layla Hassan - she deserves her own bullet point for just how awful of a character she is. I mean almost every scene she's in is absolutely insufferable cringe. Another Mary Sue character like Rey Palpatine who's the "bestest evar" at everything she does.
    * Female character Kassandra written as canon protagonist. Too much social justice from Ubisoft these days.
    * I am not a fan of Layla & the present-day story as it's just so convoluted - they've really dropped the ball on it over the last 5-7 games. Basically since Desmond died it's been garbage that has failed to really anchor the present day to ensure everything makes sense. I miss Desmond still and the original crew. Ubisoft really screwed up in killing him off. Layla is a terrible character that I keep hoping will be killed as soon as possible.
    * Too much mystical crap in these games - they are clearly trying to copy The Witcher games' high fantasy universe by bringing in monsters and magical items. Isu artifacts are excepted from that, but too much magical stuff happening that really ruins these games. This isn't a high fantasy game with magical fireswords and mystical giant monsters and things of that nature - it's just absurd.
    * No information database - these were invaluable in earlier games.
    * The eagle used for scouting is a bit over-used by Ubisoft. It made sense in Far Cry Primal and was a stretch with Bayek in AC Origins...they need to stop re-using so many mechanics over and over and over.
    * Combat system is very clunky. Even worse than Origins. Some things are improved in terms of timing like Parrying, but overall the targeting and control system is clunky and chaotic. AC3's was by far the best.
    * The romance options lack sex scenes - Ubi needs to man up and not be afraid of sex scenes or showing women looking sexy.
    * WAY WAY WAY too much homosexuality in the game both present day and in Greece.
    * Present day story is just so poorly constructed - the games don't really flow together properly anymore because of how badly Ubisoft has bungled the present day story.
    * Essentially non-existent stealth mechanics - this is an open-world combat game that's basically a copy of Witcher 3, just minus all the great things that made Witcher 3 a masterpiece. I don't really consider this game or Origins to be Assassin's Creed games - they have the title and references to animus technology, but that's about it - totally missing the mechanics that would make them an AC game.
    * The RPG mechanics are terrible - can't tell you how many times I had to put about 20 arrows through a target's head to kill him, or hidden blades.
    * Can't fast travel while on the ship to various ports.
    * Horse movement mechanics are not very good - can't tell you how many times I've had my horse decide to jump into the ocean or off a mountain when I was not heading in that direction at all.
    * Excessive feminism from Ubisoft yet again...changing history to have women doing things they never did back in those times. I don't think it's too much to ask for historical accuracy with the laws and histories of people.
    * Wish there had been a little more to the Aspasia romance option to develop a better ending for the protagonist. It's so limited story-wise that it feels like an incomplete end-game. She was such a beautiful girl, and historically she can't be killed by Alexios so they should have allowed a better end-game romance option with Aspasia.
    * Game is WAY WAY WAY too long. ~220 hours for me in one playthrough doing probably ~90% of the game. AC games shouldn't go longer than 50 hours at the high end. Ubi just shoves too much side crap into the game.
    * Legacy of the First Blade DLC - First two chapters were fantastic, but in typical Ubisoft fashion, destroyed at the end with bad storytelling and narrative decisions.
    * Fate of Atlantis DLC - overall not a good DLC. Some story aspects were good, but mostly it was incredibly boring with awful map traversal.

    Gameplay Length: ~220 Hours

    Final Rating: 4/10 - I do not recommend buying this game - if you decide to do so, wait for an extreme sale - I'm talking like 90% off.    … Expand

    - Repetitive gameplay

    - Absolutely piss poor optimization for PC
    - Egregious MTX attempts

    I am a newcomer to the AC series, and this game does not make a great first impression. I will admit that this game is incredibly gorgeous with respect to the texture details and classical Greek architecture. It is truly a top notch effort from the graphic and environmental designers. I also thought the interwoven story between Kassandra and her family was decent enough to keep me interested. The gameplay really leaves a lot to be desired though, and while I thought some of the unlock-able abilities were cool, the sheer repetitiveness started to get to me.

    This game's combat cycle is awful, it was pretty fun at first for me as I enjoyed the similar stealth gameplay from Far Cry, but it got tiring and repetitive quick. It has the same bandit camps, cave hideouts, animal hot spots, and pilfering opportunities at every single Witcher 3 style question mark on the map. When the stealth gameplay inevitably fails at times, the combat can be fun, but most of the time it is spent slashing at sponge-like enemies that take 90 hits to neutralize while the animations go swinging in and around the body sometimes missing or hitting mid-air like some bad action movie.

    I will never understand why certain individuals within media companies believe that re-writing history in order to fit in political agendas is okay, and the case here is no different. There are certain races and gender roles within this game that just do no make sense for this era. Nobody cares if people from a wide spectrum of races and backgrounds worked on the game, we just want developers to stay faithful to the historical data and respect the culture without injecting their modern day ideologies into games. I don't believe that it is too much to ask for.

    In case Ubisoft needed an update, gamers don't usually like it when you force ideologies down their throat through their favourite avenue of escapism. Ubisoft obviously did not get the memo, because on top of those issues, they have decided to push micro-transactions in a single player game as "time savers". What this equates to for me is: "We want you to pay to skip content in our game". I did not have to take part in these "time savers" as I am generally a completionist and did enough side activity to maintain my level throughout the campaign. Others were not so fortunate and have been blindsided by this egregious monetization tactic that I will outright condemn every time I see it.

    Also going to just quickly mention how poorly optimized this game is for PC. I use an RTX 2080 Ti to play in 4K resolution, and this game hovers between 50-70 FPS on high with HDR on. If it was 70 consistently I wouldn't complain too much, but no matter how much I tweak the settings, I won't see higher than 90 FPS while my CPU usage sits at 100% with a 9900K. What the hell is going on here Ubi?

    Needless to say, this game has a lot of issues, but it also has a lot of potential to be something great. Ubisoft needs to stop trying to release these games every year, and start listening to their loyal fanbase who can provide the franchise's historical context better than I can. I will be taking a look at Valhalla, which incidentally, took more than a year to produce, just to see if the series has anything to offer going forward. It is not looking too good Ubi. 4/10.    … Expand

But as everybody should know, big is not always better, it depends on what you can do with it... I don't have problems with the RPG style, I'm an RPG Player normally. But when you do that, do it right. Origins got me at the first few minutes, I had always the feeling to be in ancient egypt. This here just gives me the feeling of the typical Ubisoft Game - get quest, watch out for colourful points on map or on screen, run/climb to it, kill kill kill. The fight system is so bad, what have you done? The AI is so bad, why? Quests and missions - too much. Why should I redo the same daily/weekly all over again? The battleship thing is also ridicolous, thats the first thing to do. Invest in your boat and rock all over the beautyful water, like you are on a speedboat shooting toothpicks 5 times on another boat to kill them all. Ah, yes... Should I mention the very bad "love scenes". What has RPG to do with that? Again, do it right, or leave it.
    I love the AC Story since I played Altair on PS3 and then with Ezio they created a legend of a game and successors. But by now, I only think of how someone in a management bureau just thought about, how cheap he could get another title with AC, so let's take the assets from Origins, copy Shadow of War, GTA V and let's watch the idiots buy this thing. Just 1 year after the last release. And we did, oh yes. We idiots did. But that's the last time.    … Expand

    Firstly, I would like to start with that I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed series. And I just love the main concept of DNA memory reading and strict narration based on reconstruction of ancestor's memories. Though this concept is totally missing in latest AC game. You can choose gender of your ancestor (what?). And then Ubi's narrative designer says: "we wanted gender equality and we found a way to do this while keeping game authentic". Really? She also said that she haven't played AC games at the moment when she applied to Ubi. How can a person claim that game is canonic if she is not even a player of previous parts. All she knows that previous chatacters were white males and she decided to change this, because it wasn't tolerant. As a result we have this parody. It is not sci fi anymore. Game is filled with some kind of Hogwarts magic with mythical creatures and all that... Stealth means nothing in this game. It is what remained from old mechanics, but this game is all about combat, while previous parts were about hiding in shadows. You can shoot through the walls, can move through time and space, can jump from any height without dying and all this thanks to artifact. Artifact that just controls minds, somehow helps you to not die after falling from a 100 meters rock. Your constant ability to choose is against all the canons. How it can be best AC game if it isn't even an AC game. Some slasher RPG, that's what. Another stuff is more technical. This game has awful movement animations, with various glitches. And even more awful facial animations. That is not what I expected from a AAA studio with huge portfolio of great games. Where are the people who cared more about gameplay and about story, than about liberal changes? And Ubi are like: "now you can be gay if you want!". Priorities. Story itself sucks. It is really boring. You just running from one character to another, asking everybody about your mom and they give you simple quests, which just take your time. Grinding is at new level. They replaced chest icons with question marks and you should feel like some explorer. And what I didn't expect, when I bought Ultimate edition, is that this edition is not complete. They still made paid outfits for real money. They are not included in the best edition!? When I spend money on super extra hyper full edition, I expect it to be really full. Greedysoft felt to EA level. Asking money for skins? What is wrong with you, guys? Remember AC Black Flag where you get everything in Gold Edition to feel like you own whole game? What happened to this. We agreed with your policy to cut game on DLCs, but paying even more after buying biggest edition is not okay.    … Expand

Unfortunately the 5 minute ending is a huge disappointment and felt undeserved for the main character.

    Voice acting's quality is below average and so are the stories of its interactive characters. Investing any interest in them was nearly impossible. Their faces are emotionless and Ubisoft solves the race diversity by making people of color into white people but with a different skin texture. Also why bother adding dialogue choices when those choices have no impact in the game at all.

    Map is thankfully beautiful with every frame worthy to be a poster but the size of the map is overwhelming especially when its content is repetitive and tiring. The combat system is turned into another Witcher inspired game. Stealth is no longer the main focus, apparently shooting an arrow to head cannot kill a person.

    It's known to everyone that AC games are not historically accurate but this game takes a deep turn to the sci-fi zone and completely lost the identification of Assassins Creed.    … Expand

    This game was a cash grab that doesn't respect the players time. They stretch the gameplay time out by making you travel 20 km over water with nothing in sight other than enemy ships. Each mission is so far from each other that you might as well do youre work while leaving the game running.

    Stealth is practically non existant. You try to stealth through an area, you will fail either because theres not too many options for stealth, or because you're not at a high enough level to assassinate someone yet . And you can never be at a high enough level because the enemies level will increase with you.

    The game literally has no relaation to the assassins brotherhood, other than a few hints of templars (formerly).

    It literally breaks the world that assassins creed built, with no fictional monster like medusa. wtf.

    Ubisoft now implented an rpg system that has no depth to it at all. Wasn't even necessary
    Combat was definitely the best of assassins creeds series.

    Were this not an ac game, it would have been decent. But it just ruined everything the series built up to this point.

    Also there is literally no explanation given as to why the main character had to jump into the animus for this character.

    (-) too many of the sidequests are very generic and few of them feel really unique
    (-) you are cluttered with loot at any point. Gear or special weapons
    (-) in my view, the story is too long. Every awesome story "moment" is preceded with 5-10 (boring) quests (most of them follow the principle "kill xy" or "go to the fort, kill everyone and get xy").
    (-) Completing the story takes like forever, 40-50h, it may take even longer if you wish to complete

    It's a great game with a breathtaking open world, great atmosphere, and pretty enjoyable gameplay. However, be aware that completing the game may take a while and that the story has a patchy dynamic.    … Expand

    Graphics: 7/10
    It looks fantastic. However, the world building and level design is very unimaginative, with a lot of copypasting going. What's the point of having all those high quality assets if you don't do anything special with them? Also in terms of performance, this seems like a real bad console port.

    Sound: 5/10
    Sounds alright. Nothing special though. Also some pieces seem oddly familiar from other well known open world games...

    Story: 1/10
    It has a story, alright. But it's beyond stupid to needlessly wrap that story up in another frame story of time traveling historians or whatever, which ultimately is just some pointless filler. The world has tons of empty space, with little incentive for exploring and while the Setting is nice, it has been only superficially implemented. And whatever happened to the Assassin thing? Also lots of historical revisionism.

    Gameplay: 0/10
    Yeah, no.
    The combat system is a joke. The RPG system couldn't be any more lackluster. There is no Assassin going on at all. Little point in exploration. Horrible pacing. Constant, pointless Cutscenes. Nothing innovative at all about this game. Cash Shop for a single player game.
    Normally I would go more into detail, but this is just too horrible.
    Just make it stop.

    Overall: 3/10
    Though what's the point of 3/10 if the most important components, gameplay and story, suck this hard? It might as well be 0/10 and nothing would change about it. Just really makes one wonder why the people working on that became developers at all, if they create soulless empty husks like this. Don't even get me started on the obvious bought reviews...    … Expand

Про уровни противников и то, как противник на 2 уровня выше игрока просто "разрывает" его я вообще молчу... Список умений просто деградировал, начинается ещё с более-менее нужных, в середине даёт понять что он по сути и не нужен, а под конец об этих "умениях" вообще забываешь - т.к. толку от них НОЛЬ!
    У этой игры только один плюс - это её оптимизация, в Одиссеи она показалась мне получше чем в Истоках (а реально мне хотелось-бы что-бы всё было наоборот).

    Odyssey barely even qualifies as an Assassin's Creed game. Were it not for the occasional musical cue reminding you of what you're playing, this would hardly qualify as part of the franchise, with how far and aggressive of a divorce it is from essentially everything that's gotten the series known and liked up until this point.

Were it not for the occasional musical cue reminding you of what you're playing, this would hardly qualify as part of the franchise, with how far and aggressive of a divorce it is from essentially everything that's gotten the series known and liked up until this point.

    I've tried finishing this game twice with a couple of years in between attempts, with an odd 90 hours total sunk into it. I barely even managed to see the entire main plot through and could hardly begin to scratch the surface of the content: there's a lot of it, but it is all so boring, lazy and uninspired. True definition of wide as an ocean, shallow as a pond.

    The level gating and XP progression only serve to give the game a vague illusion of adventure, when in reality it's doing little more than pulling you by the nose, promising an eventual power spike that never comes. You're weak, you stay weak, and enemies will never, ever take enough damage for combat to feel even remotely enjoyable. You start the game beating up damage sponges and you end the game beating up damage sponges who occasionally glow and throw fire spears at you.

    All in all, Odyssey is simultaneously an enraging and extremely forgettable experience, from its viciously uninteresting plot to its desert-dry characters through to its repetitive world which lacks any of the careful detail and care that should have gone into it. Turns out, making your world this pointlessly large just means you will have no room for actual development, and all assets will be stretched thin, reused to death with all bits of flavor taken out of them through rampant repetition.

    Give this game a hard pass. It's not worth the money, and it's especially not worth the time it wants to take out of you. An exercise in frustration at best and a genuine, complete and utter waste of time at worst. Origins knew when to stop and where to limit its content so as to not be overbearingly massive, but Odyssey shows no such restraint. This is, far as I'm concerned, one of the worst entries in a franchise already mired in bad decisions and average games.    … Expand

    The only plus of this game is that it has a huge map with beautiful places. This is why my score is 3 because Ubisoft managed to build a nice world.

    Where is the music in the game, you can only hear it when you climb a synchronization point and that's it. I can not play this game for more then an hour, its very boring for me. Even when you are in a fight on the ground or on the water the game does not seems interesting. Where is the slowmotion when killing someone? Tt gave so much more dynamic to the game.

    I can not play stealth in this game, when I have to kill a target that is two levels above me I have to exit the cover and fight him face to face, I cannot kill him by just going behind. Isn't this the whole point of the game? this is why it's called 'Assassin's Creed'. No hidden blade, no double kill. Really, really disappointing.

    I cannot forget how nice were Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Black Flag were the story kept you in suspense.

    The animations of the characters are very bad made as well, I remember that in Assassin's Creed 3 ,the character was jumping the obstacles sliding beneath them and leaning when he had to rise a slope, here all the animation that I mentioned are not present and the character feels and behaves like a robot.

    There are so many other minuses to add but I think this is enough no make an impression about the games.

The story is a regular one, but it's not an AC, you have 2 or 3 moments that you have to farm COMPULSARY, that ruins completely the pace of the story and the optimization is bad.

Но для меня(хотя думаю, что не только) - это все её сильные стороны. К сожалению, все преимущества её затухают на фоне:
    1) Ужаснейший сюжет. Не только "основной", как его любят называть, но и современность. Происходит лютая наркомания. Видно, что на современность они клали и сделали только чтобы "олды" не пердели. Как видно, "олды" просто обосрались.
    2) Анимации. Тут всё просто. Мир большой, пустой - анимаций поменьше, а то плойки сгорят. Мы же на эту аудиторию ориентируемся.
    3) Гринд. Левелгриндинг здесь уже на уровне дро**льни. Спасибо, трейнеры и читы еще в моде из-за таких как Ubersoft.
    Подитожив, можно сказать, что каждый раз всё хуже и хуже. Покупать следующие части 100% не буду.

    Today this serie has became to mockery. And this is understood by everyone. Isolating from Assassin's Creed title, we can see that this game isn't bad. But there are many problems not only for AC but for Common RPG too. Yes, It's beauty; yes, It's aesthetic. But for me(So, I think not only for me) this is only her advantages. Unfortunately, all the advantages is fading on background of: 1) Ugly plot. And not only "main" but modern days too. There is trash-born narco. They didn't give a sh*t on modern days and did it for that the "olds" didn't ask. An "olds" assed off. 2) Animations. It's easy. The world is big, empty - less animation or PS4 will be burnt off. Ubi are concentrating only on that platform. 3) Grind. Level-grinding is on the je*king level. Thanks trainers and cheats.

    НЕ ПЫТАЙТЕСЬ проходить это полностью, это опасно для психики.

    227 часов на полное прохождение.
    Сюжет предсказуемый и унылый.
    Неестественные кринжовые диалоги.
    Большая часть персонажей не запоминается.
    Постановка тупо говорящие головы с кривоватыми анимациями.
    Выборов мало и влияют, в основном, только на концовку.
    Однотипные квесты в худших традициях бесплатных корейских мморпг. Побочки повторяются.
    Гринд беспощаден. Ресурсов хватает на прокачку 1 сета брони.
    Кривая боевка, где враги на тебя самонаводятся.
    Сомнительные развороты при ударах, удары которые визуально не доставали и попали, самонаводящиеся стрелы, подтаскивание из-за спины противника и добивание.
    Огромное количество мелких багов. Тонна их.
    Из критичных: пару раз улетал в текстуры, противники в них улетали, один раз квест заглючило.
    Прокачка до 50лвл уныла и постоянно упирается в уровень копья, который завязан на убийстве культистов. Скиллпоинты либо уходят в ненужные скиллы, либо копятся. После 50 лучше.
    По шмоту. Более одного сета прокачивать проблематично и нет привязки набора скиллпоинтов к конкретному набору вещей. Вариативность от этого минимальна.
    Графика хорошая, но все эти пейзажи не вывозят 200+ часов унылого геймплея.
    Музыка ни о чем.
    Анимации в целом кривоваты, но добивания наглухо кривые. Постоянно бьёшь воздух вместо врагов в скриптовых атаках и добиваниях.
    Мир пустой и кроме вопросиков с аванпостами в нем ничего интересного мною найдено не было.
    Логика мира в целом хромает на обе ноги.
    Игра легкая даже на кошмаре, а нпс тупы. Можно заходить с парадного входа и всех убивать спокойно.
    Стелс терпимый, но нпс глухи, слепы и у них нет бокового зрения. Хотя порой видят через стены...)
    Все активности в мире сводятся к аванпостам и 6-7 задачам на них. Боссы легкие, морской бой раздражает, наемники веселят не долго.
    Паркур в стиле человека-паука. Лезть по гладкой мраморной ягодице это норма, а перелезть заборчик высотой по пояс нет.
    Гробницы это просто пример деградации всего и вся... Бежишь вперед, ломаешь стенки, убиваешь змей и двигаешь ящики.
    Про повестку. Я еще ни одной игры не видел, где мне столько раз попытались бы зайти с черного хода.

Terrible story, terrible voice acting, terrible quest scenerios, everything about this game is just a mess. Everything feels dull, the characters have absolutely no emotions, the facial expressions are 0, mimics 0, reactions 0, the story has 0 impact. Bad, very bad

    Whether assassin's name is necessary for a game that is hard to assassin? Although it is RPG, either the level of the enemy is always the same as myself or two down. I tried hard to the highest level. I raised the level of weapons, but skill is necessary to assassinate enemies. I want you to return the old assassin's creed.

There is so much random stuff to do it feels overwhelming, even if they toned it down from AC:Unity. Sigh, what a disappointment. I was excited for the RPG stuff and they even added dialogue options. But even there the choices dont usually matter that much or you dont even have a choice.… Expand

    Sadly, those happy days are gone.

You never do enough assassin damage, so you only scratch your victims, leading to messsy fights and escapes instead of professional hits.

    Everything except graphics and the level of detail feels mediocre - ship combat, melee combat, the senseless grind where you need 150 tree trunks to improve a single sword a little bit.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has pretty solid graphics, decent parkour, and at times good boss fights. You can see a lot of initial concepts here that might be solid if they were handled better. However Ubisoft fails to learn from it's RPG inspiration like the Witcher 3, and creates a confusing web of side quests, grinding, and empty boring characters. As per usual in Ubisoft's recent games, shock value takes priority over character development, with characters being killed off seemingly just to anger you, or to make you feel like theres some bigger picture, when in truth the vast majority of what you doesn't matter whatsoever.
    This game is no longer assassin's creed (which is disappointing but no a deal breaker), until you realize you won't be having a hidden blade unless you buy DLC. Oh and the illusion of choosing your own relationships? Yeah that goes out the window too, because you're going to have to have a kid despite Layla not needing ancestors dna to make her animus work, JUST SO THEY CAN MAKE KASSANDRA THE ANCESTOR OF AYA.
    That's another thing, instead of leaving it as "well the history isn't clear and their DNA is similar so either one of them could've been the eagle bearer", they tell anyone who choose Alexios you're character isn't Canon.
    On top of all that you can't turn level scaling off so even enemies like bears will be on tier to stomp your butt into the floor despite any mythical gear you may have or divine power within you.
    The final nail in the coffin is the twist that the Eagle bearer is alive the whole time and gives Layla the staff of Hermes. So not only are we going to have to deal with a crappy character, we could've had a much more interesting story playing as Alexios/Kassandra in modern day instead of being stuck in the one note character that is Layla.
    If Valhalla doesn't drastically improve on all elements of its story, RPG mechanics, gameplay depth and variety, cutting down on the grindy gameplay, and enhancing the sense of effecting the world and characters around you, then avoid this series for the foreseeable future.    … Expand

    - I'm a huge fan of open world games where the game is focused on history and the style is medieval fantasy, but this one managed to surprise me on the negative side and I'm really sorry for the 15 euros I spent buying it, it's not worth the money they ask for it , I can't understand how anyone likes this type of game, which is a total abomination to the Assassin Creed franchise, I think some people are losing track of what a good game is and what makes it good and graphics are not everything.

    (Experience will gaming)

    + Positive (Good)
    (World)
    The level of detail, the setting in general of open worlds made by Ubisoft I am referring to more recent games, they are very well crafted and beautiful, in this we have to take our hat off.
    (Cutscenes)
    The cutscenes are also great, they are reproduced at 30fps with excellent quality, I would prefer a thousand times that the game was based on an action movie where you could make your choices. Since the previous model is bad at all levels.

    - Negative points (Bad)
    I love games that contain a suspenseful story, drama and action and this game managed to demolish these concepts in a negative way.

    (Game History, Main Quest and Side Quest)

    (Main Quest)
    The game's story in general is the worst annoyance I've ever experienced in a game, it doesn't have any emotional weight as if the story has no soul and doesn't convey the proper feeling when being told to us players.
    The story is understandable even the main quest is very short the only thing that makes the game time consuming is the absurd size of the entire map because they put you doing a quest 10 thousand km away from where you are.

    (Side Quests)
    The typical let's go there we have nothing to do so let's add more missions for the player to walk backwards doing absolutely nothing. Boring 100%

    (Dialogue and Writing Character)
    What can I say about the game's voice acting, authentic cavemen without any soul in the interpretation of the roles that the characters should have, the expressions of the lines are super out of sync with the non-existent facial expressions on the NPCs.
    Just for that, it takes away all the immersiveness that the game could have and doesn't have, the lines that the characters have when interacting with the main character are bad, it seems to have been written by a 10 year old kid.
    It gets worse when we enter death scenes, reunion with some character from your family that you haven't seen for I don't know how many years and the voice actors are trying to force an emotional and sad scene, but the representation is so mediocre that the characters at a certain point seem like they are laughing.

    (Micro-transactions in a Single Player game)
    Since Asssassin Creed Unity (I think it's this one) had co-op filled the whole game full of micro transactions, it doesn't make any sense.
    Not to mention the cosmetics and accessories they give you in expansions that stay in the inventory and you can't remove it and another reason that takes away the immersiveness and the concept of level progression.
    It shouldn't exist in any game in any expansion to give players "legendary" "ops" or "strong" items and I think it should be more the player's intent to play to get those items that can have a positive impact on combat.
    The horses all pretty, with fire and wings is overkill.

    (Combat and Skills)
    I have to say that I get an aneurysm playing with this game's combat, I can say that I prefer The Witcher's buggy combat a thousand times over Odyssey's combat, there's no fun going around hitting npc's and using mediocre skills.
    - The skills that are available are as simplistic as possible, creativity died at the beginning of the game's production, first Assassin's Creed should be a game focused only on Stealh and not direct combat.

    (Relationships with Characters)
    During the game you will find npc that you can interact lovingly and sexually, of course there was no shortage of a game in the middle of the 20th century where I have to do with LGBT content in the face and where they put several quests from guys asking my character if they want to do bad actions in bed, Of course I was happy to refuse all proposals and kill the npc.

    Worry about making games in conditions than worrying about adding relationships, failed attempts at sexual interactions with the character like fornicating with old women and the opposite sex to sympathize with a portion of the target audience I'm surprised they didn't put them fornicating with animals. .. Baldur Gate already did it let's see what will happen in the next game.    … Expand

The chase is simple they walk after you then they look around for 5 sec then they return to their post as if nothing happened until you repeat the process.

    НЕ ДЕЛАЙТЕ ИЗ АССАСИНА РПГ. Помните времена, когда убить врага можна было 1 ударом или парированием. Сейчас этого нет, и это огорчает.

    The game is fantastic, but it'isnt an Assassin's Creed, it's just a oyssey.
    Everything is cool but please in the next game bring back the Unity experience, like the combact system, where the level doesn't matter
    Please Ubisoft

    I think this is one of the worst games of the Assassin's creed series. Very little story and strategy, it is all about fighting, fighting and fighting. Endless world with a repetition of the same military camps, forts, caves... it is always the same. In the other series the story was more cautiously written and the missions were of different types, allowing different styles and game plays.I think this is one of the worst games of the Assassin's creed series.

    Shallow and boring combat mechanics with no feel in it. Movement and climbing are... how to put it mildly, as if they take place on a land of butter. Our hero/heroine can move, jump with no real effort without moving any muscle. Thinking of the years old AC3 had better mechanics than this game is just unbelievable. if you think old AC games have the same grinding missions going on forever,Shallow and boring combat mechanics with no feel in it.

Thinking of the years old AC3 had better mechanics than this game is just unbelievable. if you think old AC games have the same grinding missions going on forever, well try this one for an ultimate bore-fest. just adding tons of empty quests and meaningless exploration areas doesn't make it a good open world game, amd going one step forward and calling this game an AAA title is not fair while there are games like Witcher, GOW,GTA and RDR.

    Believe me there are lots of things to say (bad) about this game ... but shortly it is a generic open world game. And if you have played Sleeping Dogs, Shadow of Mordor, Batman Arkham Series and even the Mad Max this game will taste cheesy and you will not find the will to play this game to the end, knowing u have already played better games than this years ago.

    The only good thing about this game is our heroine Kasandra, but combat and movement is so cheap and generic she alone couldn't save the game from getting refunded.

    PS. I have fully completed all the previous Assassin's Creed titles to this day except the copycat of this game (Origins). As Odyssey and Origins are basically the same games with different skins on them, so no need to buy and play both of them. And yet playing none of them is a better choice.    … Expand

    In short, this game is …bad and now let’s see why :

    The game is kind of beautiful, the horse render and animations though are unaceptable, especially after the Witcher 3. Yes, the world is large, empty but so large, wahou, what a lot of fun and emotions here… Who wrote that story ? Did somebody actually get paid to write that story ? Is this a joke ? There are more plot holes in    In short, this game is …bad and now let’s see why :

    Yes, the world is large, empty but so large, wahou, what a lot of fun and emotions here…

    Who wrote that story ? Did somebody actually get paid to write that story ? Is this a joke ? There are more plot holes in the main story than I ever saw in my life.

    I played Kassandra and if I remember correctly, there are at least 3 times where her brother should have just die but did not for whatever deus ex machina reason, what is this ?

    I had the happy ending, sorry, the cliché “we-are-a-united-and-happy-familly-now”

    That’s not too bad actually, if only there weren’t all these plot holes………..

    But the Cult storyline…, is this a joke ?

    When you finally discover the identity of the leader and you go to defeat it, the combat last like 2 seconds, I don”t remember exactly how many guards there were but it was so quick, I spent way more time fighting against the second hands than the actual leader, there was nothing e-p-i-c to it….Is it too much to ask to have an EPIC fight against the leader of the Cult, which is supposed to be the ultimate ennemy in your game ?????????

    The other storyline with the real father is unaceptable because in order to get the final word of that story, you need to buy the DLC, Ohhh Ubisooffttt

    In terms of gameplay, the combat is really bad, it feels like an 90’s arcade game or something.

    It also seems that the character does not take damages on its mesh but rather on its capsule collider because you can defintly see in some fights (against spares or boars for instance) that you are not touched but for some reasons you are actually damaged, so you need to take into account the obvious capsule collider around you, which I did not since……at least way before Tomb Raider 1…..1996 ?

    The naval combat are good but less interesting than Black Flag (yes, they did not had cannons at that time, yes, I know, thank you Einstein)

    The mercenary mechanic is one the worst idea ever. :

    After the first mission that you do for the guy that is revealed as a Cult Member, (the guy that sends you to kill your father), when that guy tells you that he wants you to kill your mother, there’s a fight.

    Well, I don’t know what happened but I ended up fighting against the guy’s guards but also some civilians of the town and 5 mercenaries that came to kill me because multiple bounties came on my head as the fight was going. I won, but my god, what a mess !

    it was a complete non sense, just insane. I’m pretty sure that things should not have gone that far but the simple fact that they have is enought to show that Ubisoft are just bad at making video games.

    The present part was less present (lol) and that’s fine because they obviously want to ditch it but they can’t and they know it, but, as always, the transition between the animus part and the present came at the wrong moment (incredible) and the gameplay in these present parts is …….let’s say non-existent.

    Let’s not forget some side boss fights that could have been great and that went …….well….

    The Minotaur for instance, that was something I first liked.

    You enter in the maze, you have this creepy mood, I was like “Finally !!!! Finally something that will wake me up here and give me some sensations”, you had fog in the maze, you could hear the screams of the beast, it was terrifying, I was expecting the minotaur to appear at any moment at the end of a corridor with its two red eyes, charging me by surprise and…..and…..and……Ohhhhhhhhh Ubisooooooffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttt …….

    And nothing !! You find the exit of the maze, you enter a room, there’s a cutscene, the minotaur is there, in a large room, you fight, you win, you go back, wonderful.

    Oh my god, why ? Why are Ubisoft unable to even succeed at a simple encounter like this one ? Is there no one there to knock things off and bring some ambition to their games ?

    Yes the world’s huge but it’s lifeless, it’s empty, it’s boring, it’s cliché, it’s not epic, there are no emotions, it’s flat, we don’t care about anything, not about the characters, not about the stories, we care about nothing.

    I’m sure there are some details I forgot, yes the battlegrounds……Yes..Well I said earlier that the combat was bad so….

    I mean, some people said that the combat style of the Witcher 3 was bad and that they prefer this one, but are these people insane ? In the Witcher 3 you could dance with your sword, you have so many differents ways to evade an attack, when you had mastered the combat style, you could feel like a dancer. Here I felt like a giant elephant with a sword, fighting some other elephants. Wonderful. Do we have to talk about the romances ? No we don’t.    … Expand

    I used to be a big fan of Assassin's Creed franchise, I've played all main games and several side games and this was the first Assassin's Creed game I wasn't even able to force myself to finish it.

    The game is very grindy, it forces you to do hours of boring side quests before you could continue main story and the story was also pretty boring. Combat is tedious and unnecessarily hard.

    The game is very affected by PC and SJW culture, so while Ubisoft used to care about historical authenticity in older games, they discarded it in sake of political correctness. Half of mercenaries and bandits are women, ancient Greeks are shown as racially diverse etc.

    Assassin's Creed used to be really unique and now they're just trying to copy The Witcher 3. I understand older games were similar and some change was needed, but this is a wrong direction.    … Expand

    This game insults the history of Greece, which is ironic when we see historical accuracy in Assassin's Creed Origins and of course, we don't have diversity because it's Africa. When you wanted white culture to be diverse you made it unrealistically diverse. Why should I fight my people with a 'hero' from another country? no thanks.

    The latest addition to the Assassin's Creed franchise is truly a wonder and a fresh take on a stale idea. The excellent execution, gameplay and story is only overshadowed by greedy micro transactions, paid XP and awful optimization.

    An excellent and beautiful game from ancient Greece. Maybe it’s very different from the first game, however this evolution benefits the brand. [Issue#290]

    While AC: Origins was packed with interesting stories, Odyssey is a generic ’Ubisoft sandbox’ in the worst sense, with hundreds of the same-looking places, dozens of ”kill-fetch” quests and almost zero motivation to grind further.
