The side missions are really the most boring, repetative missions you could probably ever design. Most of them just consist of a character losing something / someone on the other side of the map. Go there, get it / them and go back. Half an hour spent.

    The story itself was pretty mid, but it was just interesting enough to make me do all the side stuff in order to level up.

    I can only really recommend this game if you truly liked Origins.    … Expand

    The controls are ok on PC and you can remap the keys which is a blessing.
    Story is ok but I still have a lot to do.
    Gameplay is very good.. so why only 5 score?

    This is a so called "AAA, full price game", a single player game with micro transactions in it (!!!). And this is straight ZERO points from me. The only reason I gave it 5 is because I got it at a lower price and I actually like it.

    Dear publishers, just get the **** off with your ****ing MTX's. Leave the single player PC games alone.
    If you really want this **** in your games, stick it in consoles, those dummies will pay for anything.    … Expand

It's a very expensive game which just makes you grind, grind, grind ... and GRIND!

What, you thought they went the RPG route in the hopes of giving their stagnating franchise a much needed new breath? Please.

    Combat feels floaty and disconnected from the characters, less like they're swinging around steel weapons and more like they're play-fighting with styrofoam toys. Every enemy has an inordinately large health bar and staggers very little from your attacks, so interruptions are very recurrent and completely break the flow of the fight. Your best option to avoid said nuisances is (surprise surprise!) to level up faster in order to unlock absurd magical powers and be able to equip better gear, and what better way of doing that than to hand Ubisoft even more money?

    On the same vein, level disparities between the player and the enemies lead to ridiculous situations such as enemies surviving being stabbed multiple times through the neck by magical weapons. If you're stubborn (and let's be honest here, also slightly psychotic), you can still fight adversaries several levels above your station by hiding in the tall grass and shooting arrows at their face until they die - it's just gonna take half an hour - A.I. isn't smart enough to find you nor run away, so it's doable.

    Don't even get me started on the plot. Several dialogue options and phrases to end conversations are copy-pasted, making the stilted conversations feel even more robotic and emotionless than they already did. Writers couldn't figure out how to tie the plot threads together, so they just didn't, instead leaving the core narratives literally separated into their own progressions and totally incapable of influencing the player or the world at large. Every single conclusion feels detached from your character choices, and the best thing you can hope for is to get one lukewarm cutscene at the end.

    I could spend literal hours complaining about how little your choices matter in this story, but the game does a pretty good job at that with the Spartan-Athenian battles. You can join one side of the battle, conquer the territory for one the factions, then immediately start to sabotage the victors to trigger a new battle and flip the board again, this time siding with the other guys. Repeat ad-nauseum, like you're Sisyphus himself and this is your personal hell - reliving the same battlefield again and again, switching sides on a whim for identical gear that just happens to give 2% extra fire damage. Neither option matters. Your notoriety doesn't matter. Your wishy-washy allegiance is never questioned or meaningful. You could single-handedly conquer all of Greece in the name of Sparta and the game wouldn't care, acknowledge it or let that affect the plot in any meaningful way. There is no point to your soulless existence.

    At least the graphics are nice tho.    … Expand

    That said, the game gameplay isn't bad, the stealth is just like any other generic AC, which is a good system. The combat is the most different part, now it has an RPG level system and your character has special skills with cooldown, like a fast thrust that deals massive damage to everyone on the way or a single target skill that thrown down an enemy.

    The open world is immense but empty. The only thing you have to do is just the same Ubisoft useless collectible and get some new weapons and armors for no purpose at all. The sidequests style is a copy of The Witcher 3.    … Expand

The combat gets old quickly and lacks a compelling story or characters, its a shame because there is a very good 20-30 hours game inside it.

Even with legendary items, you don't deal that much damage and you have to grind for best builds, which you won't get early on and in mid game, so low dmg output is still problem for most of the game and you have to find many tablets scattered across whole map, which is basically running simulator and grind for resources...

    Sneak attacks which deal like 50% of damage (with PAID weapons from DLC)? Really? What a scam!

    The plot is as usual. Some memories of some ancestor who was or was not participating in some events of the deep past.
    This time, somehow, all memories are revolving around too-manly women and too-sweet-faced men.
    Oh, and add 'LGBT members made this game' loading screen you'll see each time you'll start it. I'm absolutely okay with LGBT and I do know some cool people of this kind but PLEASE STOP STICKING IT INTO MY FACE! It's immoral!
    I demand protecting my rights to remain straight! Game's store page didn't mentioned excessive propaganda of this kind!
    (and it's not so legal in our lands but who cares until it targets our lands' president anyway. . .)

    Visuals... are pretty neat. Visuals _are_ what's selling this game. As cool as it could be. Thanks Ubisoft, I guess.

    Sound... Game's version for my language cheered me up with mistranslated expressions, Greek words sticked into speech just for some fleur, lack of emotional expression and absolutely inappropriate actor vs character choices.

    Overall, not if I would regret making this purchase (10$ for Ultimate edition? Passable!) but I expected to get complete game.

They need to rethink some of the approaches to game making. Specifically, in the case of this game and other games like this one, I would like to make a couple of points. This game does not quite work for the following reasons: First, there's a bit too much grind, and you cannot escape the ugly feeling of doing too much of the same. Some grind in a game is quite ok, but too much can ruin the game. Second, this is poor implementation of RPG+Open World combination. The game forces you to follow the linear path of the story in an Open World game?!!? How so? Well, if you go astray from the main story line and try to explore the game world away from the main story you cannot, because literally every creature you encounter is too powerful for you. You just end up running away from everyone and everything, in stead of exploring or doing quests. A minute ago, in the main story, I defeated powerful warriors and generals, and the next minute I run from ordinary wolves, boars, and peasants, only because I am in the area I'm not supposed to be in yet, and everyone is couple of levels or more above me. The game doesn't even show you the level of creatures with too high a level. There's only a red skull indicator telling you not to even bother fighting. That's ridiculous, and it defeats the whole Open World concept. RPG could work in the Open World concept, but a few tweaks are necessary. Ordinary creatures and characters everywhere should be less powerful than the game protagonist from the beginning. Only major bosses through the story line should be allowed to be significantly more powerful, and I have to level up or find better gear to be able to defeat them. There could be other tough characters, but I should be able to defeat them right from the beginning, albeit with more difficulty. Next, I don't care how tough an opponent is, three direct hits with a sword or spear should end the fight. If you want to create grind and make certain fights last longer, make blocking or dodging more frequent than hits, depending on the level of opponent of course. I feel silly banging on an opponent for 3 or 4 minutes, with every swipe a direct hit, and my enemy refuses to die because he's level 25, and I am level 22. Next, if you want to make certain areas more difficult than other you can populate it with more enemies, who are more vigilant, and with a few characters who are more powerful than average, but I should still be able to defeat them. Third, make quests more versatile, with variety of interesting tasks. This requires imagination and diligence. Game developers must not be complacent and just keep pumping out the same stuff all the time. They have to get better all the time. Fourth, and this is closely related to the previous point, if you're making a true RPG game that includes dialogues with choices, then you have to make dialogue interesting, engaging, and meaningful. This is a very difficult thing to do, and few RPGs ever have actually succeeded in this. Dialogues are usually tedious, or even dumb, and a waste of time. But games should progress towards true AI. I can't wait for the day when we'll see games writing themselves as you play them, depending on the way you play them, where no one knows what comes next, and how they might end. We're a long way from that, I know, but it could be better than this. Dialogues and choices seem to be of no consequence at all, except for a few key choices, and the level of freedom is actually the same as in the games from 10 or 15 years ago.… Expand

    First of all, Assasin's creed shouldn't have any continuation after Black flag. I felt that Black Flag was like a last one that actually builds any further story. After Black flag almost none of the further Assasins were changing the game mechanics - all the time the same(small changes), all the time from the start. Moreover the way the story is told in Assasins is a bit clamsy. RepeatableFirst of all, Assasin's creed shouldn't have any continuation after Black flag. I felt that Black Flag was like a last one that actually builds any further story. After Black flag almost none of the further Assasins were changing the game mechanics - all the time the same(small changes), all the time from the start. Moreover the way the story is told in Assasins is a bit clamsy. Repeatable story, stiff dialogs, so I gave up with the series.

    Than I have heared that "latest"(Origins, Odyssey) Assasins have changed the gameplay mechanics, so I decided to give it a try. I haven't finished the game yet, but I made like 25 hours in the Odyssey and I can say some words about it.
    Pros:
    - We have skills both for the close-combat weapons(sword, etc.) and a range weapon(bow).
    - We have a big, beautiful world with islands
    - The world is divided into zones ment for specific lvls
    - We have "ships module" from previous games, adjusted to the timeframe. (bows, instead cannons, etc)
    - We have a visual branch of people to kill, and when you kill them, you get tokens for upgrades, it's a nice mechanics.
    - You don't get desynchronized when you kill NPCs, instead your crime meter rises and you're being hunted while still having a chance to survive(and kill the hunters for rewards).
    - RPG mechanics is a breath of fresh air in this game, you have lvls, upgradeable skills, equipable items
    - The combat is quite good, avoids, blocks.
    - We have army vs army mode, where you can support one of the side and for the win you get items

    Cons:
    - The story - as it is another assisn... I cannot unite with my character, I just don't feel it, the character is not a part of something big and every next assasin game is made for no reason, how many times can we go thorugh the game with the same background? If the game wasn't assasin, this could be all different.
    - The lvl scalling - This part pains me the same as the story one - the world lvl is scaled up to your lvl, the zone you're in cannot be lower than you -4 lvls, so basically all you do in the game, all the upgrades you make, you feel all the time like you don't progress at all, as you deal the same dmg oveer and over, the skills dmg doesn't really change much too.
    - Even though we have ships, it doesn't feel that good like in Black Flag. You just sail to another island, because there is a quest... and I don't feel like fighting other ships, because even when you get resources for upgrades, still there is lvl scalling or stronger enemies and you do the same dmg all over again.
    - Even though we have a big world, the world is empty, I mean it's filled with a lot of boring repeating quests like: go-and-kill, open chest, find a piece of paper, clear a cave, that don't bring anything to the story and the bonuses(exp) you get, etc. is getting "lost" due to lvl scalling.
    - The "synchronizing towers", srsly? again? Just to unlock fast-travel? And a flying eagle effect for 10 seconds?
    - You get slots for skills over time. You get 4 per-weapon in the beginning, than you get more. Some may like it, but I didn't feel good with being limited to 4 skills, when I had bought 12, because in that part of the game, I could spare only 1point per skill.
    - Opening menus animations are annoying for me, even though the UI looks nice and intuitive, they take too long (3secs to open),
    - The map tab and quests tab should be somehow combined together, because switching between it, checking where the quest is, going back is just not handy.
    - "Heart" dialogs, we can have sex, but whatever, when you don't feel the character you play.
    - Items lvls - each item has its lvl, which can be increased to the lvl of your character, no matter what rarity type is the weapon, so if you are stubborn you can loot one piece of crap and upgrade it through the whole game - the dmg doesn't count anyway, due to scalling.
    - Even though the combat system is quite good, the opponents moves are repeatable, the enemies are repeatable, which just don't fit to such big world.

    To summarize, the game is playable. It is even exiting for the first 20 hours, than you get border or repeating things and a lack of progressing. Dear Ubisoft if you read it, please close the series, call your game something else, change the background, maybe at least I won't be so negative about starting another piece of tapeworm and having the stiff story I can't relate to, because I'll have another game in the series with completly different characters. (Unlike AC II) Also please decrease the world size, or at least please fill it with more valuable unqiue content, like quests with unique stories - you can take an example from The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    This game is bad. LIke it has some interesting side quests and story at times and combat can be a lot of fun. But theres so much unnecessary stuff. Theres millions of fetch quests just to prolong the game time and by the end of the game I begged the God to make it end finally. Very dissapointed with this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed é um das minhas franquias favoritas, depois de ter zerado o magnífico Origins, decidi q iria partir para o Odyssey logo em seguida, entretanto, me decepcionei um pouco e vou dizer o porquê:

    Muitos disseram que o Odyssey estava BEM melhor que o Origins em todos os aspectos, porém, o combate tem novos elementos como o chute espartano por exemplo, mas outros recursos eu achei desnecessários em relação ao Origins, dá pra se acostumar, mas ainda é inferior ao combate de seu antecessor, a otimização é péssima, o Origins que possui o mesmo motor gráfico não tenho esses problemas, já esse, tem quedas constantes de FPS, inúmeros crashs no meio das missões, principalmente na ilha pirata, chega a ser irritante ter que reiniciar o game inúmeras vezes por conta dos bugs que tem nesse jogo, é a famosa pressa da Ubisoft em lançar um AC por ano, o maior exemplo disso, é o seu antecessor, o Origins que foi perfeito do inicio ao fim, o melhor desde o Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, história cativante desde o início que consegue prender o jogador.

    E o pior, não me senti jogando um game da franquia Assassin's Creed, tá mais para uma cópia de The Witcher do que um game dentro da franquia, Origins conseguiu mesclar bem os elementos RPG com a essência de AC, coisa que não senti no Odyssey. E depois o início maçante, finalmente terminei a campanha principal, preciso fazer um levantamento de alguns pontos:

    1. A história em si é boa, principalmente quando você escolhe o o final bom e verdadeiro, mas demora muito para engrenar e empolgar o fã de longa data. Mas o ponto negativo, é que o decorrer de como desenvolve a trama, é muito confuso, pois você pode 'finalizar' o game sem eliminar todos os inimigos do culto, eu acho isso bem ruim.

    2. A DLC do Legado é fantástica, que começa empolgante já no início da trama, foi exatamente isso que faltou para história principal, pois o início é bem maçante.

    3. Os personagens Alexios, Kassandra são bem legais, mas a mãe dos 2 é ainda mais legal e vc fica preocupado a todo momento em mante-la viva, queria uma DLC dela. Mas o desapontamento fica por conta dessa distância que manteve da essência dos assassinos, mesmo sabendo que o início da Ordem foi lá no Egito com Bayek, mas poderiam acrescentar elementos que trouxesse o jogador ainda mais perto da Ordem dos assassinos e da família do Alexios e Kassandra, e são personagens que também merecem uma sequência na Pérsia por exemplo, assim como Bayek e Aya que provavelmente terá uma sequência na Itália tendo Roma como cidade principal. O erro da Ubi, é não dar pelo menos uma sequência para o personagem para criar afinidade com o fã da franquia, assim como foi com Ezio Auditore em sua trilogia.

    Talvez seu grande defeito seja de ser o sucessor de um dos melhores games da franquia que é exatamente o AC Origins, mas também não me senti jogando um Assassin's Creed propriamente dito, meu desapontamento é grande em relação a isso, e para zerar, tirei da mente que era um game da franquia 'AC' e fui embora. A ausência da lâmina oculta é um dos pontos que senti falta que é explicado na DLC do legado, mas mesmo assim, fez falta. Pra quem está entrando na franquia AC agora e é fã de RPG, é um prato cheio, mas pra quem é fã de longa data desde 2008 como eu sou, é decepcionante (alguns da velha guarda gostaram, mas outros também ficaram desapontados), mas dá para se acostumar, se o game tivesse apenas o nome 'Odyssey', com uma pequena organização na trama e desenrolar das missões, sem dúvidas, seria o jogo do ano, mas pelo fato de carregar o nome 'Assassin's Creed', a trama exige o mínimo de essência.

    Procurei fazer uma análise totalmente sincera e sem haterismo para vocês que pretendem comprar o game, doi colocar o selinho de 'não recomendado' de um game de uma das minhas franquias favoritas, o jogo é bom? É! é o Assassin's Creed mais ambicioso? sim! Mas tá longe de ser o melhor pela falta de essência que moldou a franquia, a gameplay é aceitável, mas inferior comparado ao Origins, a movimentação é satisfatória, compare a movimentação do AC Unity de 2014 (considerado o pior da franquia por muitos) com o AC Odyssey de 2018 e você perceberá que até nisso, a qualidade caiu, quem diz que é o melhor da série, não conhece a franquia a fundo, o que inclui os livros que aprofunda ainda mais a história, ou começou a jogar AC ontem.

    É um jogo mediano, a sua otimização é péssima e até jogos mais "bonitos" na questão gráfica, conseguem entregar uma otimização melhor do que este jogo.

    AC Odyssey tenta fazer um open world RPG estilo The Witcher 3, porém acaba-o fazendo de uma maneira genérica. Só recomendo esse jogo para entusiastas de open world, pois existem opções melhores no mercado. Ex: Witcher 3

Só recomendo esse jogo para entusiastas de open world, pois existem opções melhores no mercado. Ex: Witcher 3

    ---> Pontos positivos:
    - gráficos do ambiente
    - fidelidade ao mundo grego antigo. Embora seja uma obra de ficção, o jogo se esforçou em apresentar a cultura grega o mais próximo possível do que realmente foi (baseado nos registros que foram preservados)

    ---> Pontos negativos:
    - Voice acting irregular. Em alguns momentos a "dublagem" era realista e passava emoção aos personagens, em outros momentos não representava adequadamente as emoções que o personagem deveria apresentar. Ex: personagem deveria estar puto e falava com uma voz neutra
    - Censura incoerente. O jogo é classificado como "mature", ou seja, 17 anos ou mais, porém em alguns pontos trata o jogador como uma criança de 10 anos. Ex: Protagonista eviscera um NPC adversário enfiando a lança na bunda e a corta até o pescoço (ok, mature game); por outro lado, não tem uma cena de nudez no jogo inteiro, o que é incoerente com o período retratado e com a faixa etária. Nem no puteiro, as pessoas ficam peladas.
    - Romance. Os romances no jogo são hiper genéricos e não captam um desenvolvimento emocional do protagonista. Todos os romances seguem a fórmula: encontra o NPC, faz um trabalho/favor para ele, recebe em "sexo". PS: Isso se pode chamar de sexo, pq a cena é cortada e volta ao gameplay normal.
    - Leveling. Se você não conseguem progredir na main story, se não fizer as sidequests. A diferença de nível é um problema no jogo, assim se o mapa está no nível 30, vc tem que estar no nível 29 pelo menos. E, chega um determinado momento do jogo que você tem que fazer sidequests apenas para "upar" de nível para seguir na main quest. Patético, quer fazer o player comprar "burst" de XP.
    - Sidequests são rasas e repetitivas
    - Opções de diálogo. Muitas opções são: ou falsas (independente do que você escolher, o resultado será o mesmo); ou são indiferentes (se você mata ou poupa os inimigos, nada muda)    … Expand

    A step back after Origins. The game is ok, but the plot is not very intersting, the gameplay gets repetitive soon and many missions like the battles or the naval parts are fun at first because they add nothing to the experience.
    Also, the gameplay is not particulary interesting or deep, but still, the graphics and sound desing are still nearly perfect.

    300+ hours of play, my verdict is 5/10. Here's why:

    Setting. Greek mythology, the Peloponnesian War, Ancient Greece. Compared to other games (Valhalla, Origins), this is the most interesting and atmospheric one. The setting is very well chosen, just like your main character. Plot. The main quest is interesting, but it is far from a masterpiece. 99% of side-quests are to bring,    300+ hours of play, my verdict is 5/10. Here's why:

    Setting. Greek mythology, the Peloponnesian War, Ancient Greece. Compared to other games (Valhalla, Origins), this is the most interesting and atmospheric one. The setting is very well chosen, just like your main character.

    Plot. The main quest is interesting, but it is far from a masterpiece. 99% of side-quests are to bring, collect or kill. Ubisoft went Ubisoft too far. When you play the game, you notice how lazy the developers were about the plot.
    The story fits very badly with the fact that you are a mercenary and a demigod. You are a demigod who is going to collect some flowers or animal skins just because a random unfamiliar grandmother in town asked for it. Great.
    DLC "The fate of Atlantis" is mediocre, but the landscapes are very beautiful.
    DLC "Legacy of the first blade" is criticised due to the forced romance, but it's not only about that. It had the potential when the player was told that he was mercilessly killing everyone, but that's about it. All the rest is, again, collect, bring, kill.
    However, there were a few interesting side quests: Olympic Games, mythical creatures, and others.

    Perhaps the only major positive aspect of the game — Combat. Oh Lord, there has been a lot of controversy about the changes from the classic games. For the old-AC-players, accept the changes, ignore the Assassins Creed name if you want to enjoy the game. The battles are very interesting. Be it simple soldiers or mythical gods. The rejection of realism in a series of games is justified in battles. Choose your style or combine several: Warrior, Assassin, Hunter = Direct Attack, Stealth, Archery. All this, together with magical abilities, makes the game interesting.

    Character animations: worst thing in the game. Most of the dialogues are accompanied by the same gestures and emotions. I understand that this is costly with so many dialogues, but still, it is repeated in 90% of cases, and it is noticeable. And I am not mentioning the same faces of the characters. There are literally five or six of them, not counting ≈6 unique faces, including main character. MOST of the plot characters are so similar that it gets funny. Considering that I don't complain about this in other games like Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3, this is so terrible for a game of this level.

    Dialogue options. Except a few times, they do not affect the plot AT ALL. There is a sense in them only if you want to kill or leave alive secondary useless characters or have an affair with someone.
    Did I mention the forced romance?

    Additional good moments:
    Soundtrack 10/10.
    The graphics are great. I have already said that the game is beautiful. In the DLC about Atlantis, the game is simply mesmerising.
    While the dialogue is the most frustrating part, some of it is well done. Relevant humour and drama. It is a pity that there were very few such moments.

    Results: Quite frankly, the game keeps your interest only in getting you to farm some cool gear and improve magic skills. Not worth the money.    … Expand

    That said, the game gameplay isn't bad, the stealth is just like any other generic AC, which is a good system. The combat is the most different part, now it has an RPG level system and your character has special skills with cooldown, like a fast thrust that deals massive damage to everyone on the way or a single target skill that thrown down an enemy.

    The open world is immense but empty. The only thing you have to do is just the same Ubisoft useless collectible and get some new weapons and armors for no purpose at all. The sidequests style is a copy of The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    * 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

    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

    The side quests and honestly the entire story are boring as hell

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?

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

    Can't **** assassinate in ASSASSINS creed.

    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.

    (+) Shop: Nothing in the in-game shop is really necessary (or useful). Thus, no pay-to-win in my opinion.

    (-) 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

    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.

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

    A beautiful world. But after a few hours...I felt like I'm just wasting time, while I can play much better games.
    It's a bit of assassin's creed, a bit of shadow of mordor, a bit of something else...and a really big bit of nothing.

    Again disappointing Ubisoft.

    In my opinion this is the worst Assassin's Creed game I have ever played, and believe me, I have played all of them. 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    Again disappointing Ubisoft.

    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.

    Not worth buying at all, better buy Assassin's Creed 2 or Assassin's Creed Black Flag, this game did not worth my money.    … Expand

    Gameplay is ok, but it doesn't fit with AC, magic powers and teleporting, i thought ac was trying to be historicaly accurate. 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. I don't give it less note because i think it's a fun game after all.

    Сегодня эта серия превратилась в посмешище. И это понимают все, кроме новых игроков. Игра, если изолироваться от названия Assassin's Creed, в общем-то, не плохая. Но в ней есть проблемы, которые присущи как AC, так и для обычной RPG. Да, она красивая; да, она атмосферная. Но для меня(хотя думаю, что не только) - это все её сильные стороны.

Игра, если изолироваться от названия Assassin's Creed, в общем-то, не плохая. Но в ней есть проблемы, которые присущи как AC, так и для обычной RPG. Да, она красивая; да, она атмосферная. 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

    Combat is atrocious. Same thing for every engagement. There is no real counter just a block and only works half the time even when the indicator is shown on the screen and dodges are even worse for high level opponents. Story is very interesting though but probably too many side quests to progress the story through the Cult

Серия игр "Ассассинс Крид" деграднула до уровня бесплатной корейской ммо, хотя я видал ммо и получше данной поделки. На первом месте у меня в списке хреновых игр. НЕ ПЫТАЙТЕСЬ    227 часов страдания.

    А что теперь?
    Серия игр "Ассассинс Крид" деграднула до уровня бесплатной корейской ммо, хотя я видал ммо и получше данной поделки.
    На первом месте у меня в списке хреновых игр.
    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.
    Более 15 раз, Карл. Порой, с подкатами в стиле 15-летнего девственника под ягуаром.

    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.

    Sadly, those happy days are gone. Obviously, greed now calls the shots at Ubisoft, so the entire gameplay premise of being an assassin that is able to instantly kill victims from close up with hidden dagger is gone, replaced by senseless quasi-RPG grind. 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.
