    The game name is "Assassin's" , you no longer are an Assassin and even can't do an stealth kill and the line of history in this game is broken...
    People talk that this is beautiful design and huge map, please raise your expectetions... You think that a game that costs 60€ can be only a 30hours exploration and beautiful game?
    This company want to steal your money expending the minimum money as possible copying from the others 10 Assassin's games! They spend the money paying the Reviewers to give 10's and 9's and the Crackers to wait few months to crack the game.

Choice is the biggest addition here, allowing you choose dialogue options and make decisions that affect the story, choose your own playstyle; combat or stealth, you even get to choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra who have totally different personalities. I'm glad This franchise went full RPG because though it may be as good as the witcher, it comes pretty damn close.

    One of the games of the year. 10/10.

    People commenting zeroes before the game even came out, it had 14 negative reviews 2 hours after the reviews were unlocked... Oh sure, you have all played through 30+ hours of main story content so you can judge the game, have you?

    Rant aside, the game is stable, absolutely gorgeous looking, voice acting could be better. Can't really say anything else as I HAVE NOT PLAYED THROUGH most

I've unraveld all endings and they're all just dull and rushed... As if they were in big rush writing the ending. But despite those two major things, game is just amazing. It's hard to believe that Ubisoft is still capable of making such amazing games. And without any doubts Ubi is absolutely king of designing stunning looking open worlds. Absolutely not regretting spending over 50 hours in that game. Brilliant. Expand

    I liked it and didn’t at the same time... I liked: (1)Excellent graphics of the World, nice music and, as always, colossal work on the details of the ancient World and visual. (2)Side quests(half are very boring and flat, but the other half - interesting, and some can be called "strong"). Quests for time and for choice(I rarely took them, but I liked the idea)... Now, what I didn’t like:I liked it and didn’t at the same time... I liked: (1)Excellent graphics of the World, nice music and, as always, colossal work on the details of the ancient World and visual. (2)Side quests(half are very boring and flat, but the other half - interesting, and some can be called "strong"). Quests for time and for choice(I rarely took them, but I liked the idea)... Now, what I didn’t like: (1)A lot of small bugs(getting stuck in rocks and textures for example), a lot of loot, which is impossible to take. (2)Almost all the tombs are almost completely similar. (3)The hero sticks to curbs and other objects as if on glue(sometimes because of this you can't escape or normally fight). (4)Too slooo horse when you exit the city(I hate this horse and because of every call, it starts winding circles around you instead of just stopping nearby). (5)Russian localization, a man often called as a woman, both in voice and subtitles. (6)Once Again, there is a huge difference of power in LVL numbers. And in general, all game progress here is insolently focused on looting(or donation). (6)"I can't help" = "I don't know about the disease"(the choice in dialogues often different from what the hero says). (7)A.I. of enemies and characters is quite dumb even at almost maximum difficulty(they are completely deaf, even when you dance over their heads until they see you - they are blind). (8)The dumbest idea with legendary animals: Absolutely clean swamp, beyond which the boar cannot go, resetting his health is only necessary to take a step beyond the invisible wall and the immortality of the beast even two steps away from that wall - this is visually stupidity. (9)Fights are a bit arcade and chaotic (Sometimes you hits in all directions, neighbors, anyone but not the targeted enemy). However, in fairness, you get used to it after some time. But the whole game does not leave the impression that the word assassin is superfluous in the game, because this Spartan is forced to swing a sword almost all the time, in a small cases - a bow. And the hidden-blade is used insofar as, in contrast to the early games of the series. Oh, Speaking about weapons... (10)No matter how much I leveled-up, how much I overtake the game in levels, after a certain moment, I never felt POWER over the enemy. For example, I almost always needed to use a strong hidden blade skill to KILL an enemy rather than cripple them. And periodically, even this was not enough to the enemies of the same level with me. WTF!? And also, the bonuses of armor and weapons are poorly felt in practice. From the middle of the game, I started to use only one set and to upgrade it, because I simply lost interest in all these pseudo-bonuses(except some unique ones). (11) After Desmond's death in the old game, exits from the "Animus" into reality are fierce crap. What for? For whom? No plot advancements, no key events. In the Odyssey, this, in general, reached its climax: Run a couple of corridors, listen to a couple of dialogues. That's it, damn it. Only in Atlantis DLC it gave us some interesting story scenes. (12) The ship is OK, but it's completely useless against shore. This is surrealistically stupid, when a rain of arrows simply knocks down a soldier without armor by only scratching him a little! And also, in the whole game I have not met a single interesting enemy at sea. Even in story missions(remember the legendary ships in "Black Flag"). (13)It is necessary to give a very strong hit to hands of a man who wrote the riddle "field of centaurs". The third centaur points in a completely wrong!!! direction. (14)I did not notice this, but I agree with whoever said it in another reviews - the bad thing is that the player can climb anywhere and in any way. The charm of parkour and climbing is lost, as it was in the old games. And the terrible skill of immortality when jumping(This is some kind of surrealism, jumping off the mountain!!! and taking no damage, LOL). (15)And the last thing: Too flat and simple ending of the main game's story. What the hell was this?! A huge game with such an ending? "Origins" was good, DLCs were good... Odyssey's main game - sucks. No, I agree that it was interesting ideologically and plot to make alternative endings, but it was NOT supposed to be the final of the whole story, the last mission. "Wasted".
    First DLC: I liked the story of the game. The game-play and other details are the same as in the main game. I didn’t like only two things: (1)The stupidest decision of the game to force the hero to leave the beach for battle, contrary to the general decision. Heroic stupidity = movie cliché. (2)When the hero and the old man are talking in a barn at the shipyard, in the dialogue you say "while we are doing this, I am ready to put up with you". This is just illogical wild nonsense. "Atlantis" DLC: A large, varied, extremely beautiful DLC. Many interesting moments and strong interesting enemies. Especially bosses.
    I will put the minimum green rating.

    The game is absolutely fun. These idiots that say it is forcing to use xp boosts should know that I'm one of those that didn't use a single xp boost and finished the game with full exploration. It didn't need any boost. When I reached my max level still there were bunch of locations to explore and gain more xp. Telling the story of apples and the first Templars was perfect. Loved the game man.

I don;'t normally like to give games a 10, but with the laughable amount of 0 scores with the risk of being a bit hypocritical I give this title a 10. If the reviews would have been more reasonable I would still rate this game a solid 9.

    The good:
    - The improved parkour mechanics (you rarely get stuck of which was a bit of an issue in the past)
    - The Story (don't get fooled by some of the reviews, the writing is quite funny and smart)
    - The voice acting; especially Kassandra. The actor of Alexios did a good job too.
    - The combat (yes, it's different and a breakaway from the old combat style, but it's fun!)
    - The Huge Map.
    - The huge amount of content.
    - Ship combat. Best ship combat of the series.

    The bad:
    - A few minor bugs (very few though)
    - Fire tanks the FPS quite hard which makes speccing into fire damange not worth it (poison ftw).
    - Stupido was a bit..... stupido (*wink* very funny questine)
    - The game has got an ending. I wish it didn't.

    Well done Ubisoft! Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a masterpiece and you should be proud!

    I have put in 100 hours and the negative reviews for this game are lying about a few things and I would like to set this straight.

    1. You have to do side quests to level up to do the main quests, this is true, but the side quests are not a grind at all. They are often connected to the main story and they're fun. There is plenty of grinding in this game but you don't have to do any of

    2. It's a re-skin of Origins. I played about 60 hours of Origins and Odyssey is very different than Origins. This is just absurd hyperbole.

    3. Micro-transactions. Yes they are in the game, yes they should not be in the game and it makes me angry as well. That being said I never once felt the need to buy them to enjoy the game. The game is a 100% completed game and is fully enjoyable without purchasing anything extra. You more than enough get your moneys worth.

    4. Poor PC optimization. I run this on a PC and the game runs butter smooth on everything maxed out. People are angry because they can't run it in 4K butter smooth, but guess what, no modern open world game can run at 4K with everything maxed out at a perfectly stable 60 FPS. There is absolutely nothing wrong with optimization.

    5. The story and or writing aren't good. This is rather subjective but I think that anyone would enjoy the main story. It's a good story, better than Origins and on par with the other AC games if not better.

    Anyway, after you finish RDR 2 you should totally play this game. It's really good and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Don't miss out on something great because a bunch of haters that don't know what they are talking about. How many of these haters put in 100 hours into this game? Don't trust them, trust me. I actually played the entire game.

    It's just a fun, gorgeous, if slightly underwhelming on the quest side romp through ancient Greece. Definitely don't miss this game.

    It appears you may need to lose attachment to previous AC games however, looking at the low ratings. This game does not deserve low ratings and all of them are coming from people looking to disgrace the company by giving low ratings rather than rating the game for what it is. Shameful practice.

    Pros :

    - It has an amazing story. From start, it really stucks you to game.
    - Parrying sistem is awesome. Origins shield sistem was absolute sh*t.
    - Open world is fantastic. In every island, there is a side-quest chain waits for you.
    - Voice actors did a perfect job. Both characters are awesome.
    - Fort attacking is the most enjoyable thing in the game. You can be a strategist, assassin or warrior.
    - DLCs are perfect. The Fate of Atlantis one is really perfect. Stucks you to game until you finish it.
    - New Game+ is very efficient. I played the game again because of it. And even playing it again, it still feels good.
    - You can change the auto level scaling to light if you want to play only the story. Stop saying that.

    Cons :
    - There is not much "different" quests. Always go and stab some people.
    - You can't decide will you be Athenian or Spartan. I mean, there is sometimes a street war between them, you wanna join the fight but you can attack them both, or they'll attack you. ( Naval fights are more ridiculous )
    - It says " RPG " but in the DLCs, every answer gets you to same ending.
    - Horse riding is not very good, it's sh*t.
    - There's no assassin in this game, only assassin is Darius :D I mean it's called "Assassin's Creed" isn't it?

    Summary :

    This game is 60$. It costs 0.5dollar / hour for me. Guys stop being a dickhead, Ubisoft made it
    perfect. But yeah some more details to game would be perfect. I reeaaally wanted to wear a spartan helmet and get into a spartan fort. Or a little bit more different quests.

    I only played the game this year (2021), and it's easily the most enjoyable one this year so far. There is nothing really revolutionary about it. In fact, it looks like it has been inspired by successful aspects of quite a few other games: it's improving on a massive eye-candy open world of its predecessor (AC Origins), features stealth-clearing forts and camps like in the Far Cry series, cut-scenes and witty dialogs like we've seen in Witcher 3, combat mechanics and animation that resembles of Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Nevertheless, it's a masterpiece in its own right and so much fun to play - which is what counts in the end.

    The story is good, the gameplay is okey. The quest line system feel repetitive. Side quest is boring.
    The game is too huge that make you go out of your way just for the sake of completion.

    Wonderful game. I've spent a lot of hours just roaming around the map and cleaning the camps and forts, it's a joy for me to sneak into enemy and kill them one by one without getting spotted. The graphics and the story are both great too. Much better game than Origins in my opinion.

To me it's really mixed bag to be fair and i have almost hard time describing how i feel about it. Graphics? Beautiful, Main characters? Both were decent. Map design? Solid. Best Ocean of any AC game, full of stuff to explore. Now this game has three main problems. Story is kind of weak, you have to grind way too much to progress in story and you can't one-hit assassinate enemies. Now it still has nice enough architecture, huge statues, most of islands of Greece. Ocean is really cool, sunken shipwrecks, sunken temples, sharks, whales etc. So basically get got many things right with this game, but also tons of stuff was just bad or weak. Thankfully most of these things were fixed in Valhalla, but Valhalla is not perfect either. Basically there's still room for Ubisoft to improve. Overall Odyssey is solid, but flawed game. But here's the thing, i'm an Assassin's Creed fan and i need to have one-hit assassinations. Now maybe someone who doesn't care about this, might enjoy this game more. But i still want to give it relatively positive score, because after all it's still part of one of the greatest video game series of all time and it obviously got tons of hate from people who hate AC games in general, so even just for that i have to give it higher score. And i'm one of these players who can literally spend hours underwater exploring ocean. I can't even count how long i spent underwater in GTA 5 for example and with Odyssey they made ocean really interesting. This was huge step-back in Valhalla, because for some weird reason Valhalla ocean is kind of empty. So bonus points for good ocean design in Odyssey. Expand

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

    THIS IS NOT AN ASSASSINS CREED.
    Assassins creed is dead and there either you make the same shtty burden mechanics game each year, either you make an overhaul and turn stealth action into RPG. And you know what, this is a great one.
    It's absolutely HUGE and this HUGE (I mean effing ENORMOUS) world is filled with, though not such a masterpiece, but still at least mediocre/good quests and

    It's absolutely HUGE and this HUGE (I mean effing ENORMOUS) world is filled with, though not such a masterpiece, but still at least mediocre/good quests and story line, which (revolutionary as for every AC game since the 3rd one) isn't complete garbage you want to skip.
    The thing I presume this game needed to get a successful score is cutting out an "Assassin's Creed" part of the title.
    Like, we must understand that AC series are dead. It was cool, but the initial idea of it got worn out.
    Overall, this is nice, huge and beautiful piece of art, that I wouldn't recommend you as an AC fan, but you as a fan of some massive rpg games.

    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.
