    It's a great open world RPG game with huge open world and good gameplay. Most of the reviews complains about the game not being an AC game but and they are right but if you like Open world RPG games you should try it. (You should play the game on exploration mode)

    El mejor Assassin's Creed que he jugado. Soy fan de la saga desde hace más de 10 años y desde el salto de Origins la introducción del rpg le ha lavado la cara a la franquicia.

Soy fan de la saga desde hace más de 10 años y desde el salto de Origins la introducción del rpg le ha lavado la cara a la franquicia. El mejor combate visto en un Assassin's Creed: rápido, perfeccionando lo visto en Origins, sistema de esquivas y bloqueos muy limpio con muchas habilidades como la patada espartana que lo hacen muy variado y divertido. El mapa es precioso y representa a la perfección la Grecia clásica de una forma muy bella con colores muy vivos, bosques, valles, bahías, islas, desiertos, playas, montañas nevadas, aguas celestes, granjas, grandes ciudades o pueblos, cuevas por explorar, campamentos militares, ruinas, templos, escultura, arte, tumbas... Y cuenta con basta variedad de fauna. Los gráficos bajo mi punto de vista van un paso más allá de Origins, la iluminación colándose en las ramas de los árboles en esos bosques otoñales es simplemente espectacular, y las texturas que a veces en Origins tardaban en renderizar aquí lo hacen más rápido. La representación de ciudades como Atenas es enfermiza, la estatua dorada de Atenea, la acrópolis, la plaza del mercado, los teatros, la residencia de Pericles, el templo de Zeus... Simplemente increíble. En cuanto a la historia si es verdad que puede que le sobren 4-5 horas pero me parece una historia bastante bien hilada más interesante que la de su predecesor con un sistema de decisiones con impacto real y un desarrollo del personaje principal notable. Los personajes secundarios son para mi de lo mejor de la historia, para no variar es marca de la franquicia, contando con grandes figuras como Herodoto, Socrates, Pericles, Leonidas de Esparta... La historia se subdivide en 3 ramificaciones una de ellas cuenta la historia de los orígenes del protagonista y su familia, es para mi la más elaborada y con más giros de guión, la segunda la erradicación de la "secta" al completo que nos atormenta y la tercera es la que tiene que ver con el lore de la primera civilización y mitología, mi favorita junto a la primera. Sencillamente un juegazo, llevo ya 200 horas y estoy volviendo a empezar nueva partida, recomiendo jugar con Kassandra. El juego ha recibido mucho contenido postlanzamiento y consta de muchas misiones secundarias y actividades por todo el mundo. La Adrastrea (nave) es un añadido que ofrece variedad y es el elemento de navegación principal, se añade junto a mecánicas ya vistas en ACIV como el abordaje junto a otras nuevas como partir un barco por la mitad con el espolón. Puntos negativos:
    -Sistema de mercenarios procedular invasivo y pesado. -Hay unas misiones secundarias llamadas contratos que son genéricas -Se echa de menos el Parkour creativo
    (?) Para las personas que esperan la esencia Assassin's creed clásico puede que este no sea su titulo ya que no se enfoca al sigilo sino a la aventura y rpg. Es un juegazo increíble.    … Expand

    Most beautiful game I've played so far! Flawless! In addition to being graphically beautiful, this game has a wonderful soundtrack! There's so much to do that every time I play I see something different! The only point I didn't like at certain points was the plot, but nothing that makes me give a grade lower than 10!

    Amazing open-world RPG game. After Witcher 3, I was looking this kind open-world game. Normally, I do not like AC games, but Odyssey deserve 10 point. Great story, amazing game play, unbelievable atmosphere and very good soundtracks. In addition, the game has too few bug. To sum up, everyone who love open-world game should play this game.

    Пожалуй лучшая игра серии. Низкий уровень оценки игры обусловлен недалекими игроками, которые зациклились на "лоре" 1-3 части. Хотя по сути в каждой серии игры свой лор. И каждая часть игры рассказывает историю своего времени, которое в итоге складывается в одно целое. Отличная работа от Юбисофт.Пожалуй лучшая игра серии.

    -En mi experiencia, solo tuve un bug, pero basto con cargar un punto de guardado y nada mas.
    -Aunque muchos digan que no tiene nada que ver con la saga, tiene información bastante interesante sobre todo el lore, ademas de ser totalmente coherente con el mismo.
    -Hay muchas maneras de jugar el juego, puedes ser un clásico asesino como en las anteriores entregas, un luchador cuerpo a cuerpo ligero, un luchador cuerpo a cuerpo pesado, un luchador con arco, y demás...

    Ahora algunos puntos malos...

    -Las habilidades están un poco sacadas de onda, y es lo que probablemente le quita mas la esencia de AC.
    -El parkour es demasiado fácil y hasta poco realista, no es realmente divertido.
    -Jugar como Alexios es inútil, puesto que jugar con Kassandra es lo canon... Esto se explica a medias al principio del juego, pero es una explicación para el juego... Osea, que dentro del juego, la otra opción en el Animus seria jugar con el hermano que se vuelve Deimos, pero en el juego como tal esta opción no existe, quedando una opción totalmente irrelevante... Hubiera preferido que en efecto fuera algo como la explicación in-game, osea, dos historias que se conectaran para que asi ademas de que el juego se alargara, tuviera sentido jugar con los dos personajes.    … Expand

    The Odyssey is the benchmark, or high standard, of RPG games. I spent over 600 hours in the PC version and 200 hours in the playstation 4 version. Here is the whole history of Ancient Greece, as well as its myths and legends.
    More details about what is in this game, and should be in all other games.

I spent over 600 hours in the PC version and 200 hours in the playstation 4 version. Here is the whole history of Ancient Greece, as well as its myths and legends.
    More details about what is in this game, and should be in all other games.

    1. An open, rich, beautiful and lively world: Even if you leave the city, or sail from the coast on a ship, you will not be bored, people will pass by you and ships sail and battles will take place. You can stand Afk and still next to you, something will happen.

    2. NPCs and Mobs interact with each other, the player and their counterparts, which makes the game more lively and realistic and not boring: Bots live their own lives, which makes the game live. They do not wait for the player to approach them for the script to be activated. For example: Wolves attack travelers, and guards protect townspeople. This is not in the game The Witcher-3

    3. A huge number of missions, tasks, quests (including daily and weekly). Full voice acting.

    4. There is no Corridor mode: You yourself decide where and how to move and what to do. This is not in the game Horizon Zero Dawn.

    5.The hero can climb mountains and other objects. Not jumping like a mountain goat in Horizon, not somersaulting like a ball in The Witcher 3, but climbing like a rock climber.

    This Assassin's Creed Odyssey game should be called Reboot - after all, the main idea of ​​this series of games is to enable the player; get acquainted with the life of people of that era, the opportunity to talk with the great (historical) people of that time, as well as participate in the great events of the past. The game completely takes you into the world of Ancient Greece and shows how people lived in those days, what they aspired to, whom they loved, and what they fought for. This is how this series of games should be.

    THE MOST IMPORTANT PLUS: the Odyssey provides an opportunity to get acquainted with the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.
    The game reminded me of the strategy Zeus: Master of Olympus (in Steam: Zeus + Poseidon), where the gods descended from heaven and sent their monsters to Your city, I had to build a special house for the hero (Perseus, Jason, Odysseus, etc.) for fighting this monster (Cyclops, Minotaur, Talos, etc.). Also in Odyssey you can fight the Minotaur and other monsters.

    CONS: Weapons and Armor do not have a binding of land and territory, for example: In Athens, weapons with a perk to damage the Athenian wars are often found. Add. stats are random even for gold gear and guns.
    Very fast leveling.
    In Nightmare mode, already at level 2, you can buy epic and legendary weapons.
    For example, I bought Blade of Yumminess on Kefalonia Island in ps4 version.
    P.S. the game could be and the benchmark mmo. Too bad she's not mmorpg.    … Expand

Yes, it's different to the older games (Unity was the last proper 'Assassin's Creed' in my opinion) but the game that's there...if you love beautiful open world RPGs and Greek Mythology wrapped in sci-fi then just buy it. I have never once had to grind, (although I have been doing all side quests because I genuinely love moving around in this world - so maybe if you just do main missions only it gates you off, wouldn't know.) I have not bought a single microtransaction and not once been tempted. I've not really enjoyed games that level up with you like this (Oblivion being a case in point) but with the extra skills you can get you still feel a sense of progression and I forgot about it almost immediately. The one complaint I do have is the male protagonist. I started with him but his voice was so campily over the top I restarted with Kassandra and then felt guilty about not using her from the start. She is blessed with awesome voice work and Alexios fits better as an overly dramatic Deimos. I'll miss Kassandra and the world I've inhabited through 3 months of lock down when I finally finish Fate of Atlantis. Will give it 2 years then pick up a polished copy of Valhalla with all DLC to continue the journey. :)… Expand

    I can't believe people is really mad at this game. This game is the best AC game ever since 2018. I spent over 120 hours to this game and enjoyed every minute. ( even i played at low graphics )

    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,    I can't believe people is really mad at this game. This game is the best AC game ever since 2018. I spent over 120 hours to this game and enjoyed every minute. ( even i played at low graphics )

    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.    … Expand

Про сюжет много сказать не могу, ибо будут спойлеры, скажу лишь то, что персонажи и некоторые миссии действительно ставят игрока перед выбором, некоторые персонажи вызывают сопереживания. Единственный минус игры, который я нашёл - перебор с гриндом. Гринда в игре действительно очень и очень много, и речь не столько о корабле который нужно прокачивать, не о навыках персонажа, даже уровни коих в игре 99 особо вопросов и затруднений не вызывают, я говорю и дополнительных навыках которые открываются после достижения 50 уровня. У каждого дополнительного навыка есть стадия прокачки состоящая из 20 очков необходимых для полной прокачки навыка. Их в игре настолько много, что понадобится около 1000 очков опыта, на низкой сложности полная прокачка всех дополнительных навыков может вызвать дисбаланс. Радует, что дополнительные навыки к прокачке не обязательны, но всё же.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Hands down, my favorite Assassin's Creed game. It did everything perfect by my standarts. This is game where Ubisoft really tried to make it best out of best. Those who don't like AC Odyssey because of that "Assassin" thing only, you'll never be pleased, if you can't even see quality of this game.

Die DLC´s kann ich ebenfalls empfehlen, vor allem den Atlantis DLC, der knüpft an die Endszene von der Storyreihe des Kults an, also unbedingt vorher komplett besiegen!

    RPG-mäßig richtig gut umgesetzt, viele schöne Dialoge und Entscheidungen, die Stimmen sind 1A und Kassandra ist ein wahnsinnig toller Charakter, ich hab mit ihr fast 180 Stunden lang erkundet. Jedes Fragezeichen auf der Map habe ich jetzt nicht aufgedeckt, außer von allen Inseln, die sind klein und fein. In erster Linie habe ich das gemacht, weil sie immer eine eigene Atmosphäre haben die sich stärker vom Festland unterscheiden als das Festland von Ort zu Ort selbst. Das Festland sieht ja größtenteils gleich aus, entweder Stadt, bergig oder Wald, aber auch da gibt es genügend Unterschiede nur nicht so viele das ich jeden cm davon gesehen haben muss und das muss auch nicht so sein.

    Ich habe alle Haupt-, Neben-, Welt- und Charaktere-, Kopfgeld- und Aufträgsquests die man als Marker auf der Open World oder im Verlauf durch Ortsentdeckung bekommt inkl. 20 von Nachrichtentafeln.
    Die Questreihen sind wie in fast jedem Spiel am genialsten, einfach spitze gemacht.

    Das einzige Contra am Spiel: Sokrates! Ich kann ihn einfach nicht leiden, er ging mir so auf den Sack!
    Und Siegel sammeln, zwei Deppen die dich dauernd mit einer Quest losschicken 3 Polemachen zu legen und sie zu looten um deren Siegel als Beweis zu erhalten, dann kehrst du zurück, gibst die Quest ab und er gibt dir mit 10% neuen und oder erweitertem Text dieselbe Quest etliche Mal erneut, bis es irgendwann heißt "Ein letztes Mal". Dauernd wiederholende Quests die bis Abschluss einfach nicht verschwinden sind echt ka-cke und gehören wenn überhaupt auf die Nachrichtentafel!    … Expand

    you do level by clearing quest and if you want to level even more you can go to diffrent camps and kill off as many npcs as possible.

    - The game looks absolutely fantastic!

    - Fighting is fun and controls pretty well.
    - Interesting mechanics with upgrade paths are introduced over the course of the game, making things seem quite fresh most of the time.
    - Sailing on the sea is the best I've seen in a game. It looks and feels great!
    - The ambience and mercenary mechanics in the game makes the world feel alive and persistent.
    - Leveling feels like it matters. It's always a treat to stumble upon a location with lesser level opponents and just wipe the floor with them. I miss that in most modern "auto-opponent-leveling" games.
    - Some choices have a pretty significant impact on the story.
    - Fun stealth mechanics. It feels good to take out an entire fort without being noticed.
    - Some locations are stunningly designed and beautiful to behold. Both natural surroundings and buildings.

    Cons:
    - Huge world. Hard to stay focused...
    - Some of the quests are a bit dull which leads me to...
    - Too much grinding for character upgrades. The game expects you to play for at least 50 hours. I will gladly do that, it's a great game! But it does drag the upgrades out a bit too much at times.
    - Some boss monsters are a chore and hard to figure out. It quickly becomes a battle of stamina rather than technique. You quickly realize it's easier to just wait with the fights until you are 5 levels above them and go in like superman.
    - The overall landscape is quite unvaried throughout the map, except for the lushness of the flowers and grass.
    - Mercenaries with both insane near-field and far-field attacks are rage-inducing! No way to take a rest during battle, you feel like you are being pummeled and winning is more down to dumb luck than technique.

Odyssey follows the trend these days to create a huge world and mash up many different gameplay elements into a single title. The Tomb Raider reboot did this, abandoning the mission-based format of the original series for a Far Cry-style open world combined with Uncharted-style gameplay. A lot of players don't like this, and I can understand this. Many still prefer a more classical approach to games that are more linear and focused. The Bioshock games do this, as well as Dishonored. And they do it for the most part extremely well. Likewise, a lot of players want a return of this series to the early Assassin's Creed games and not the direction that Origins and Odyssey have taken. It's a legitimate argument. I am rating this game like a standalone game, without any reference to early AC games. As a standalone game, I think it's great. It's not Witcher 3, to which it is often compared. I also played as Kassandra, and many have said that Kassandra makes for the better play-through than Alexios. I never felt like I was grinding in this game, which is a common complaint. To me, grinding is when all you do is run around killing things to make xp and get better gear. It's pretty much all you do in WoW, for example. I never did this in Odyssey. Yes, there are a lot of pointless fetch quests but you can skip them and still get levels doing other things. And there are a lot of hidden gems, quest chains with engaging stories in addition to the main story. Odyssey isn't a classic, but I give it a high score because of the fun factor, between the solid fight mechanics, the skill tree, ancient Greece history and lore, entertaining ship battles, the mercenary system, and a pretty interesting and well-voice acted lead character (again, I didn't play as Alexios but from what I saw of him in my game and on You Tube videos, he's not as good). There are a lot of reported bugs, but the game ran fine for me. For a game this size, you can always expect bugs until they get some major patches out. Overall I enjoyed this one a lot as both an action game and an rpg.… Expand

    Let me start by saying two things:

    1. My PC is at the lower end of the required specs (i7, 16 Gigs of RAM, GTX960). I run the game at medium settings, and it works perfectly well. No crashes or getting stuck, whatever.
    2. Yes, the game is a bit less "assassin-y". The story revolves around the stuff we know from other games, but it's not that you soon run around in the typical Assassin-outfit or colors. You DO use stealth, a lot of things prove this is an AC-game, but it's less so than the other games. I am a huge fan of the franchise and have played and finished almost all the other ACs (minus Liberation and those mini-games). And I enjoy this one a LOT.

    This game is pretty much a perfect follow up to Origins. If you did like that one, you will enjoy Odyssey. Many of the abilities and controls are the same, yet things were added.

    - Moral choices. They're not having a GIANT effect on the story, but you can be either the cruel, determined person or more of the nice hero.
    - Battles. They're not gigantic, but they are fun. You run around in a battlefield, taking out soldiers and commanders. You're a mercenary, so you pick the sides and help shift powers.
    - Ship battles are back. If you did like the naval battle in Black Flag and Rogue... you will feel rght at home, as they're pretty much the same. However, you can "spec" your ship by capturing officers who will give your ship perks.
    - I found the talent tree to be more fun than in Origins.

    The game does look beautiful. There is a lot to explore. People have complained that enemies level with you, so you never are 10 lvls above your opponents. I don't mind though, because I guess the same people complained about Origins and how you got a ton of quests you couldnt do because you were too low level. So you had to do side quests in order to get to the other main quests.

    Others have complained about micotransactions. If that disqualifies the game for you... that's your opinion and I respect it. However, I think you would miss out on a beautiful game. I for one simply ignore the store. On my travels, I easily picked up enough materials to upgrade my ship, craft arrows etc.

    This is a lot like AC+Witcher3+300, but it still is an AC game. It looks a bit better than Origins, and to me is even more fun. I did replay Origins right before the release, and I enjoyed Odyssey more.

    So my opinion: If your PC can run it (mine can, even though it's not a state of the art up to date gaming machine), and you like the franchise, definitely give this a try. It's a bit less "Don the outfit, equip your wristblades, be a precursor of Altair and Ezio", it's shifting more towards "Be a mercenary in Greece, get tangled up in events related to the other games, use assassin techniques".

    Once again, I do love the franchise, and I don't get why people say it's "not AC". It adds a different flavor, takes a different approach. How often do we need the same "Young guy suddenly is involved in Templar plot, gets an assassin outfit, gets the blades, gets trained, tada"

    Approach this with an open mind. If you did like Origins, this is a step up from that, and to me, it's a totally enjoyable game.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    The game is fantastic, and you need to move on from the old ways of AC. RPG has definitely changed the series, but it made it better. You're now able to be a more complex, versatile character, and still focus on the style of play you prefer. No one stops you from being an awesome stabby assassin.    … Expand

    -Enough funny moments (a real must for me to enjoy a game), but also some very good dramatic scenes

    -Good looking equipment in the endgame (in the early game you end up looking like you actually mix everything together you looted from corpses)

    -Very few trips out of the Animus, which were very immersion breaking in previous titles and not at all great for the gaming experience

    Cons:

    -The world is too large/has too few interesting things to discover

    -Voice acting was not always fit for a AAA title

    -Too few character interactions imo

    -Micro-transactions simply do not belong into singleplayer games. (Also XP boosters are probably a reason why you have to do quite some side activities to keep up with the main stories level recommendations)

    All in all I really enjoyed this game and appreciate the direction Ubisoft has taken with this title. The fact that the story and dialogues were all set in stone in previous games took some of the joy out of the experience for me.    … Expand

    But the stories this game tells, how much you can learn, the impressive world (that could still use more bustle, more liveliness), the emotional roller coaster that is Legacy and the fun and almost comic-y theme park that is Atlantis all makes more than up for it.
    The side story in the real world is no longer annoying and convoluted, although at times requires a bit more reading because it clashes with the whole mysticism and religion thing.

    The combat is harder. I ragequitted several times until I managed to adapt to the new combat.
    Be aware there is a forced enemy level scaling that you cannot turn off unlike you had the option in Origins. Ubi added easy, normal and hard mode after many people complained.
    Sometime, especially if you are surrounded my many enemies it's better to run away and hide and try again.

    Every microtransaction is also avalaible for free through the ingame orichalum. Tho it is a lot of griending and luck needed to get the rare stuff from the shop. They upped the chance on getting the legendary items on the oikos store with one of their latest updates.
    There is no need to buy them in the helix store.

    I get the feeling that many negative reviews are from oldschool AC gamers that can't or wont adapt to the new gamestyle. I've played AC 1,2, Black Flag, Rogue and Origins so far.

    The romance options are more of a fling rather than a serious approach like we are used from the Mass Effect series. But this is Ubi's first approach and with enough feedback they might be doing better in the next game.

    Also the Dev's take in a lot of feedback from the gamer community and this is awesome.

    So in conclusion this game is worth it's money and has imo a lot of replay value.

    If you play your Kasslexios as gay or asexual you should keep your finger from the first DLC (legacy of the first blade) for several reasons.
    If you wnat to know more about that you better go and spoil yourself before you decide to buy it or not.

Yes, there is the occasional CPU freeze time / lag, but that only occurs during the huge battles and being Early Access I was expecting some flaws that will be eventually smoothed out. All that side the game has been very enjoyable for me about of the proverbial box. Length; yes the game is long, but it's called "Odyssey" so I'm fine with it. Regarding it not being an AC game; you aren't playing as an Assassin, but it is set within the AC Lore so as far as the overall lore and canon I feel that this IS an AC game; unlike say my feelings about STD versus STNG and TOS.

Some player might find the giant open world is a not so fitting setting to set an Assassin’s Creed story since it can make the player to be seperated from the story from the sheer ammount of time that the world exploration will take to do. The RPG element is good since it is develop together with AC: Origins. The multiple ending is also a good addition because it make the choice that the player have to be more important than normal story branching element.

    Although this game has some improvement from AC: Origins even if it's not as many as i like but it is expected since this game is develop at the same time as AC: Origins so it is expected to have some similarity in gameplay and other elements to each other.

    The reason i did not give this game a full 10/10 is because althought the modern day story line is connected to the Assassin's Creed Lore the actual animus part of story element althought interesting it is not connected enough even if the is some connection to the Assassin's Creed Lore as a whole.

    Overall the experience of playing this new type of Assassin’s Creed is depend on each player but since i’m a fan of both exploration and Assassin’s Creed francise in general so i can make a good judgment that this game is very good for those who already love the Assassin’s Creed Francise and for those who love exploration and branching story element.

The music is fantastic, the scenery and setting are beyond a master piece. The fact that you can actually fight your way through things now without instantly failing a mission is fantastic. You got seen by one person? You can kill him before he alerts everyone. The skill choices and the combinations of sets allow for you to truly make your own person.

Every second new bossfights, areas to explore, epic narrating, abstergo (real world) but after 100000 games like that i got boring like a new CoD or Battlefield.
    So whats god about Odyssy? Everything. Grapic is gorgous. Story is good taled, sidequest are sometimes little bit boring but the story is fitting (Not like in other games - Fallout76 iam looking at you).
    A lot people claim "Its just a new Orgins"... Yeah it is but with new World, Story, Weapons, History, Combat System. The brought even the boatfights from Rouge back.
    So what? I like it and thanks god i is not an "old" AC with strict storyline and storytelling. For my opinion it could even be even more like the Witcher
    Now the main reason for the **** Microtransaktions and the Grinding
    I play the game on highest difficulity (nigthmare-albtraum in the german version) and i have absolutly no problem. First it was a bit hard to learn the combat system (its not the best one but it works) but once you checked it out even a boss a few levels abouth you isnt a problem anymore (except he is in a group). The grinding is no grinding for me its just pure gameplay. i didnt even felt it as grinding.. i was just taking over castels like always in AC. Most of the time i play the game for days after i finshed the main plot just to play fights fights and fights. Also this time the combat is hard enough to pump up my heart frequency.
    Last but not least the microtransaction:
    I didnt even recognized there is an ingame shop until i saw it in the critics. Iam not a fan of ingame shops but in this case it doesnt bother me bcs iam not forced to use it.

    So if you enjoyed AC Orgins buy this.

    Bugs do exist, but are not game-breaking. Micro transactions exist as well (which is sad for a single player game) to speed up progression, but that's not a problem for me. If you don't wanna buy, don't buy, go grind and have fun.

    Game needs some optimization though, since its performance is not good and not stable., and the presets are just bad. Not a huge problem for me, since i game with an: Intel i7-4790 + GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (MSI), averaging 56 fps, at 1440p, with custom settings in a combination of Ultra High + Very High + High. Super playable.

    Finally, "exploration mode" instead of "guided mode" is a must, makes the whole adventure much more realistic and fun. Give it a try, you will never go back to guided mode. Definitely a recommended game to buy.

    Combat is fluid and stylish, with finishing off an opponent or straight-off assassinations shown as cinematic instances of just how bad-ass you are, and I'm still not tired of it.

    The game is beautiful to look at. Something as mundane as riding a horse through a forest or overlooking a newly discovered city or port is a joy, as is the climbing and rooftop-hopping movement AC is known for. Don't feel like finding a path to ride up that mountain? Just climb it instead.

    Sailing between islands can also be serenely relaxing as you watch your ship glide through calm waters, or as your beloved boat negotiates choppy swirls as you hum along to your crew's catchy song floating out across the tides. That is, when you aren't ramming enemy ships, sending fire arrows into the enemy crew's ranks and watching them being welcomed to the depths of Poseidon's endless ocean: a welcome addition in my view.

    The main plot is engaging, and you come to really care for the characters you come across, not the least of which are the main characters themselves, who are intelligent and charismatic.

    The game can become grindy and repetitive depending on how you play it. Keep heading towards a main quest and you won't get too bogged down with a seemingly endless stream of random bounties and side quests. You'll find yourself being bogged down otherwise because of the sheer volume of things the game throws at you. As with anything in life or RPG, having an end goal in mind is important.

    I never once bothered with micro transactions and never felt that I needed to. There are multiple ways to get the resources needed to upgrade that spear, or cash-in for that ship upgrade and, for me, that's part of the fun. Remember that thing about goals? Upgrades are easier to come by the further you get in the game too as the rewards from everything you do get better. The sense of accomplishment is what makes RPGs, RPGs.

    I've docked a point off an otherwise perfect score for a few very minor issues, like clunky character climbing and movement at times, and a few AI issues, like your stupid ass horse running away from your character when you've called it to mount up, and lengthy in-city pathfinding.

    The game has unashamedly borrowed aspects from other games, but it never feels like a rip-off. It's story, characters, locations and combat mechanics give it it's own feel and identity, very much set apart from anything else I've played. All-in-all, if you love "300", if you love Greek mythology and if you love RPGs, you can't go wrong with AC Odyssey.    … 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.
