    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

    This game is an exact copy and paste of assassin's creed origins, except they managed to make it even worse. this game has nothing to do with assassins and it takes place before the order of assassins was even created i really have no idea why this game is even titles assassin's creed. there is no running in the game, there is no parkour just a terrible hiking feature and there is no fallThis game is an exact copy and paste of assassin's creed origins, except they managed to make it even worse. this game has nothing to do with assassins and it takes place before the order of assassins was even created i really have no idea why this game is even titles assassin's creed. there is no running in the game, there is no parkour just a terrible hiking feature and there is no fall damage, there is no hidden blade either. the face animation is even worse than origins and it retcons even more than origins does. for example, the game is a "memory" yet you can make decisions int the game, how the hell does that work? the story is terrible and the game mechanics are terribly done. the only good thing about this game is the graphics which is Gorgeous, but that's really all! nit to mention the game is unplayable without the micro transactions, there are too many DLCs as well. overall not worth buying and not even worth thinking about it… Expand

    Good: Great graphics. Huge world to explore.
    Bad: Boring and repetitive gameplay. Dialogs are not plausible.

    The game is huge improvement over AC origins. Combat is satisfying, Quests and cinematic are good.
    Yes, it really rip off Witcher3, but still enjoyable. The world is huge, mainly islands, some of terrain detail is good, some not so great.

Next time you make game, make sure you have game option to disable homosexual quests.    … Expand

    Стандартный такой ассасин. Большой, открытый, перспективный мир как всегда забит кучей унылых однотипных заданий, персонажи картонные, диалоги написаны детьми для детей. Что Греция, что Египет, что Париж, что Лондон - у юбиков все как всегда. Последняя часть этой серии, которая еще хоть чем то цепляла - этой 4ка.

    It's a grind to force you to pay the extra cash. Overall it's OK but not good it's just another Ubisoft game

    This game is kind of a soulless mashup of popular elements from other games, combined with some poorly thought out systems, so I will just give it a real quick review:

    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

    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.
