    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.

    - 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

    I have never played a game as boring as AC Odyssey. While the game is fun, it's just way to stretched out. 95 percent is just traveling. Finished a quest? Nice! Now go and talk to 3 more people that are far away from fast travel points. I'm 50 hours in and I just can't be bothered to finish the Atlantis DLC because it's so unbelievably boooring.

Very silly game and not worth spending time on if you actually want to play a video game and not just a lifeless boredom simulator,,, As for how Ubisoft can improve on this game, valhalla certainly isnt the right way to go as it is somehow worse in terms of stretching out the gameplay so thinly until the player cannot feel any enjoyment when playing. The best assassins creed game is probably black flag which is everything odyssey isnt. Buy black flag instead of roleplaying as superman /wonderwoman in the worst way possible.
    At the same time, the game is very graphically intense and deep. I really liked the greek architecture and culture, it was magical to feel that as i am very interested in greek mythos and culture so this assassins creed time period is really great as it speaks to the nerd in me haha. Sadly even calling it an AC game is abit of a stretch    … Expand

    if "meh" was a game, it would be this one. I liked it at first, but when time went on i started to hate it more and more. Now i'm at the point, where i can't even stand hearing about this game. I really hate it. Leveling system is an absolute joke in this game, thank god Valhalla fixed that. Oh and also, this game has NOTHING to do with Assassin's Creed. NOTHING.

    (+) Atmosphere: The atmosphere is amazing. The best representation of ancient Greece one could have dreamed of
    (+) Story: The story is quite nice, the characters are well developed and I enjoyed the dialogue options (although most of them are irrelevant for the story)
    (+) Shop: Nothing in the in-game shop is really necessary (or useful). Thus, no pay-to-win in my opinion.

    Con
    (-) the whole world is just packed with icons, quests, and other activities which is quite overwhelming
    (-) 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

    Summary
    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

    I can sum up in one sentence why this doesn’t work as an Assassin’s Creed game. The Animus only lets you view memories, it doesn’t let you chose your own adventure.

    I have no idea why Ubisoft decided to ignore or didn’t understand the entire point of this franchise.

    I have no idea why Ubisoft decided to ignore or didn’t understand the entire point of this franchise. I’m only about 12 hours in Odyssey and I think this is the game to finally make me put my controller down and walk after from the franchise. The AC series has aways been an interweaving connected overarching narrative. How exactly is this game supposed to fit into a franchise when there isn’t even one canon answer of who these game events even happened to? Was it the brother or the sister? The very idea the player gets to chose the actions of the character undermines and intentionally destroys not only over a decade of lore and world building. In removes all the fun mechanics of trying to relive these memories as accurately as possible to fully “sync” with DNA of the person you are observing. They turned it into a bland dime a dozen RPG. And I have no problem with RPGs or chose your own adventure game, in fact I love them. But Assassin’s creed simply can’t be one by the nature of the established in universe rules.

    I would say this would be a better stand alone RPG if it dropped the Assassin’s Creed title. But honestly even as an RPG it’s lame. Unlikable characters, horribly paced story that’s only vaguely engaging. Copy paste fight mechanics they still manage to make boring or frustrating. Bloated maps and disconnected side quests. No social stealth. Ridiculous leveling system. Nonsensical skill tree. And you have to grind on unrelated side quests before you can even continue the main story. There is no in story reason why these side quests would make you grow as an Assassin.

    You wanna assassinate your father but in order to do that you have to level up. Better help an old woman make a viagra potion! And the knowledge gained from helping that woman gains you a skill point you use gain the ability to…. Call an assassin to assist in fights? You couldn’t figure out how to do that before? There is no logic or flow in leveling. It’s just arbitrary withholding of basic actions you should already have the ability to do.

    I really can’t talk poorly enough about this game. It’s an embarrassment, and it’s sad new/casual gamers consume this garbage. Ubisoft finally realized they don’t have to try that hard cuz gamers will gobble anything up if shill critics praise it. The emperor really does have no clothes.    … Expand

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.
    In the end, I can write everytime AC worst and worst. I won't buy the next part 100%. Also thanks google translator 'cause my Eng skills still like AC Odyssey.    … Expand

    This game gives you options then forces you to play a warrior style.

    Example: Cyclops mission. I am picking my way through on assassin trait line walking on the top of the buildings and my proximity triggers a cutscene which forces me to fight 5-6 enemies with 2 elites.

    This is horrible... why give freedom if you need to be a warrior to pass? Uninstalled.

    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.

    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.
