    This game is just stupidly epic and the best of the series by far. Anyone who says it's an Origins re-skin or DLC needs to lay off the crack.

    AC Odyssey is a brilliant game, many are complaining because of the optimizations but it's running fluently on my gaming laptop 40 fps average overall everything at high settings at 1080p.
    The story is even better than Origins and everything is improved imho.

    This is what a sequel is like since Ac2
    I'm eager to know what Ubisoft got for us for it's next AC game.
    I gave it a score of 9 because in every mission I have to be in a specific level forcing me to do side quests that are pretty repetitive.
    What stunned me are the location and the beautiful graphics overall, and to me I thought Origins had insane graphics but Odyssey is even better.
    To me, it's not an intirely an assassin's Creed game but it's a change of fresh air, and I loved it.
    Hopefully the next AC will be more towards the Assassin's Creed genre, until then, Ubisoft did an amazing work, hands down.
    Just didn't give a score of 10 because of the forced side quests but a 9 is well deserved.

Greatly enjoyed the assassin abilities and skills and loved, loved loved all the lovely weapon and armour designs. Such a beautifully crafted game and such a treat for the eyes especially for someone living in gloomy and rainy old Ireland. Locations are really stunning, it was a joy to quest and explore this beautiful game world. Thank you Ubisfot for bringing in some romances. I thought they were lovely and I greatly enjoyed trying out all the flirt options. My Kassandra was a bit of a 'romeo' (wink wink nudge nudge :D)
    I really cant fault this game and I played all the dlc as well. Worth every penny to my mind. I can't wait for the next one now as if this is the direction AC games are going I'm a convert.

    The pathetic excuse for gamers these days is unbelievable, millennials have no idea what a gaming experience is about, we grew up with 2D side scrollers and they were classed as A rated games and the big things about them were finding the glitches and mistakes from the developers which added more fun to the games.

    Games today have huge open worlds to explore and i suppose the big problem with all new gamers is the aspect you may also learn something along the way, you seem to expect the game to feed you in a way that i would like to see you do better, go back to the first AC title then come back to this one to see the massive changes the franchise has made, to hate on a business for doing what they do which is MAKE GAMES is so stupid it boggles the mind you have no idea the man hours that go into making something that is designed for fun.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is easily one of the best games of 2018 without a shadow of a doubt, it has great aspects from Origins and then added more and set in a beautiful recreation of Greece, and if anyone listened during history at school or educated themselves has such a captivating focus on the history of Greece, from the Diplomacy of Athens created by Pericles to the fall of the city due to the plague and tainted grain from Sparta.

    The game also lets you explore rather than spoon feed you all the missions (it's how i found the Minotaur by pure fluke) which makes it a fantastic adventure.

    The Helix credits... i have bought non and guess what you can still enjoy the game, these things are put there for players who like to add something to their games but not at any point does it feel forced or pushed on you to do, and the grind is not bad at all, if anything its lesser than Witcher 3 in that respect.

    Unless you're playing on a potato this game plays flawlessly i play on
    Ryzen 5 1600 (3.8ghz)
    AMD rx470 8gb
    16gb RAM (3000mhz)
    Windows 10 Pro
    even running the game on an old HDD
    it plays fine on my 4K monitor with no tearing stuttering or fps drops, i think the worst i had was 40fps which is still non noticeable during game play this generation needs to get over that more fps = better as your eye can't see or notice anything higher than 60fps in most cases as the majority of monitors refresh at 60hz which is 60 fps tops a game may tell you you're getting 120+fps but you monitor isn't refreshing at anything higher than it's designed to, even movies play around 27-30fps and nobody **** about that.

    I have sunk over 66 hours into this game and i am only 61% complete, my advice for this game is to explore, take in the vast lands and surprise yourself with what you can find, if you bought this game to mash a button in fights and to be told how to play then you bought the wrong game, stop following the bandwagon of being told what to like and what to hate, i bought this game for £35.99 with Ubisoft discount which i earned through gaming which is 20% off... on release, say what you will but nobody rewards you 20% off with a made up currency you earn by enjoying yourself.

    The fighting is challenging as you have to think about what you're doing or you will die to simple soldiers with shields or dual wielding swords, it takes a little time but not hard to master, even higher rated mercenaries can be bested.

    The map is huge, fast travel is there if you want it, it is filled with bandits wild life and events you can only find by exploring, you can find some awesome items just by exploring.

    Pros:
    Stunning visuals
    Well over 70 hours game play
    The choice to play either male or female
    So much to do it can sometimes feel overwhelming which is GREAT in a RPG

    Cons:
    Doesn't seem to like potato PC
    The sea doesn't have the same pull as AC Black flag
    Millennials
    Sorry having difficulty thinking of cons as it is honestly that good a game.

    I generally disdain games with gratuitous violence. A recent exception is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. It has an interesting plot, the scenery is gorgeous, there's a wide range of difficulty, voice acting is good and gives me a better sense of what the Greek language sounds like, there's a sense of connecting with important historical characters and places that have always seemed dim andI generally disdain games with gratuitous violence. A recent exception is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. It has an interesting plot, the scenery is gorgeous, there's a wide range of difficulty, voice acting is good and gives me a better sense of what the Greek language sounds like, there's a sense of connecting with important historical characters and places that have always seemed dim and distant to me, movement feels natural and vigorous including running, walking, swimming, horseback riding, and piloting boats large and small, there is an abundance of varied quests, none of which is of the "kill 30 wild pigs" variety, combat options include rogue, bowman, and melee options (and you have to learn all of them), the adversaries are mostly bad guys and gals, and the Greeks depicted really look like they are from the eastern Mediterranean rather than northern Europe. There's plenty of innuendo but no graphic sexuality. You can inhabit a male or female avatar. Your in-game choices certainly affect your progress in the story. The setting is during the Peloponnesian War, which was a moment of high drama in that part of the world. Be warned that the Great Plague of Athens features in a few scenes. So if you've ever wanted to meet Socrates, Herodotus, and the like, or if you've been wondering where those "gods" all came from, or where they went, it's worth a look. Certainly it's one of my favorite RPGs to date. Expand

    Do not let these whiny babies with 40 IQ and their 0 ratings distract you from playing one of the best Games of 2018 and best Assassin's Creed game in series. It is an excellent open-world RPG, not as good as Witcher 3 of course, but i doubt any game ever will be. Nevertheless it is very much worth playing. You can easily get up to 80 hours of fun out of it.

Over 40 hours played, almost level 50, and feel like I’ve seen half of the best content at most. It’s like the Witcher 3 but with better combat.

    The world is wonderful, graphics are amazing and yes the world is HUGE as it should be! I cannot wait to explore everything in this beautiful world (underwater and on land). But at the same time feel nostalgic about this era in mankind history!

    The game is based in real historical facts and in mythological aspects and mythology is not fantasy, but a way of expression of real events in the ancient world.

    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.

    Awesome game, it's something different from the rest of the AC, but I'd like to think that I won't play the same game over and over and, in that sense, Odyssey is a step forward. I'm playing on a 7700k-1080ti Set up, so I didn't notice any performance issues, but it's Ubisoft, so you can expect that if you have a mid-end or low-end set up. If that so, just wait for sales.

    - 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 don't get many of the comments about grinding...it's not like a MMRPG where you need to go and pick fights with random packs of wolves, NPCs etc. just to level up. The timed mini-quests & bounties can be repetitive and are very simple (sometimes I've had quite literally the exact same mini-quest dialogue from different NPCs) but there are plenty of actual side quests which are generally interesting, and so far I've found no issues with leveling...and absolutely no grind has been required in my own experience. For reference, I'm relatively new to the series...played the original AC when it came out, but wasn't keen on the mechanics and gave up a few hours in...Origins was my first real AC game that I experienced in full.

    This game is great. Beautiful world, lots of immersion. The sound ambiance is a big upgrade over AC:Origins, as well. I do think the voice acting is better than in Origins as well. The eye movements look great, but can be wonky sometimes, all in all it is good step forward in the AC series.

    PRO TIP: GO READ REVIEWS ON STEAM FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS AND CAN RUN IT ON THEIR RIG. Most people rating this game lowly have either barely played it in terms of time or have machines that cannot run it. Both are poor reasons to give a low rating.

The Dialogue Options aren't as big as for example in a Mass Effect, but they still have affection in the Outcome of certain Situations. I don't see why people are treating this game so negatively, Ubisoft tried something new out and I believe it worked wonderfully. The people that are saying "This isn't Assassin's Creed anymore" have literally no Idea of how the Game is designed and I am pretty sure that they didn't even play it. They are just saying that because they want the game to be always the same. Just FYI this won't work out forever. Expand

The story is very interesting, i didn't skip one dialog, there are a lot of interesting side quests, and there are actually three or four main stories. Beautiful world, beautiful graphics, great gameplay, great story, 60+ hours of fun. For me, the best game i ever played (yeah, i haven't played that much games)

    Not a fan of AC(only played AC1 for a couple of hours) but Odyssey was a surprise, for me a 9.5/10 rating surprise. Beautiful views with good graphics, good fighting system and also really nice side quests, all this in a beautiful ancient greece. I'm giving it a 9.5 because the character bondings didn't have the desired effect; the game doesn't create any attachment although it tries.

I'm giving it a 9.5 because the character bondings didn't have the desired effect; the game doesn't create any attachment although it tries. The combat system is good, although some abilities like shoot through walls, evaporating bodies after assassination, become invisible are a bit wtf for me, i chose not to put skill points in them :D

    People who complain about the XP don't know to enjoy a good game tbh. You don't just finish the main quests in 10h, you enjoy the full awesome world with a lot of smart and fun side quests that this game offers. For me leveling too fast was a problem; had to grind for resources to upgrade my gear. There are lots of XP quests that take 5 minutes or less to complete and you get 1/4 of the needed xp to level up.
    Didn't pay a dime on boosters and played the game for over 120 hours without getting bored. Well maybe a bit when gathering skins but this was fixed. The patches that addressed this resource rewards issue were most welcome :)

    ----
    tl;dr if you like RPGs, this is a must try. Good graphics, good views, good combat system, wont get bored.

    Лучшая игра серии, как по мне, достаточно интересный сюжет, интересные побочные миссии, разнообразный геймплей - на протяжении всех часов игры - тебе не скучно в нее играть. Разносторонняя прокачка - так же полезна при повторном прохождении игры (а я уверен, что буду проходить ее вновь).Лучшая игра серии, как по мне, достаточно интересный сюжет, интересные побочные миссии, разнообразный геймплей - на протяжении всех часов игры - тебе не скучно в нее играть.

    This is the best AC game, and I have played most of them. Amazing story and characters, great rendering of ancient greece, best combat system to date, superb rpg-mechanics and the quests are superior to the old fetch-and-eavesdropping missions that plaugued the old AC games. The modern parts are really small as well, which is good.

    Both of the DLC:s are amazing, with Fate of the Atlantis being the best DLC in any AC game. Don't listen to those claiming this isnt a AC game. It's the best from the old ones, with great combat gameplay added and the bad stuff removed.

    il est meilleur que le 4 et le 2

    l histoire est géniale

    A huge, gorgeous, open world filled with tons of interesting quests and side-quests - I'm frankly shocked at how large the world is and how they managed to fill it with interesting content. The combat is fun and challenging, and the optional stealth approach is even more fun and rewarding - you can mix and match them as you see fit. The choice of player character and dialog options pull you into the game and make it feel like you're creating your own personal story. It took me 110 hours to beat the game, and I want to go back in to explore the islands I didn't get to and finish the side-quests there.

    The game is incredibly polished - in 110 hours I only encountered two minor bugs. The PC port is great, giving you a myriad of options to customize the game and controls, with visual previews of all the graphics options and a built-in benchmark. The game also instantly switches between mouse and keyboard and controller. My i5 6600 + 1080 Ti PC ran the game at 6040x1080 (1080p x 3) at 45-60 fps, but there's also the option for a locked framerate from 30-60 in increments of 5.

    The complaints of "grind" and "level-gated content" apply only to those who wish to rush through the main story while skipping all the side-quests and optional content. If you actually engage with the game, it is incredibly generous with XP. Just from doing the primary side-quests (which were always interesting and entertaining) and skipping most of the other optional stuff, I was gaining levels so quickly that I changed the level scaling to always match mine so that I wouldn't out-level all the content.

The Navel battles were fun and full of action, bringing back memories of those tough navel fights in Black Flag. Enjoyed the story even though it lacked at sometimes as far as depth but I found it very interesting. The RPG elements, I think have really done wonders for the series and has given it new life. Makes some parts not as repetitive and allows you to role play the game with how you see fit within the boundaries of the parameters. You can be the great mercenary hero or a down right heartless one only in it for the drachma. I hope the next game in the series will improve the series even more. I would recommend this game to anybody that enjoyed Origins and Black Flags naval combat. Expand

    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.

    Well, I've been playing the Assassin's Creed franchise since the first game. No doubt everyone agrees that the Ezio trilogy is a masterpiece!

    Now let's talk about Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

    -The most of games put immense texts of which the player does not even read because they are mostly boring, in AC Odyssey is the opposite, the immersion that the game provides both in dialogue and in history is extremely rich which makes you want to play more and more.
    This game has one of the best stories and narratives of the franchise, the gameplay is extremely easy and fluid, you have a talent tree that you gain essential skills for your journey. At Odyssey we see that Ubisoft has truly embraced the RPG elements in its narrative as well as the dialogue choices that affect the game story.
    I had the opportunity to play with both protagonists; Kassandra and Alexios, and without doubt Kassandra was the one that most captivated me, in years I did not see a character with such charisma, the player feels connected to her feelings sharing frustrations and emotions with her.
    At game storyline we discover how it connects the history of the franchise as a whole and how important it is to her, revealing a little more of Isu's story and also of the protagonist and the legacy he will leave to Layla.
    At the end of the arc of the main storyline we see how the protagonist is embedded as being one of the main characters of the franchise along with Altair (Desmond's mother's bloodline) and Ezio (Desmond's father's bloodline).
    In the DLC "LEGACY OF THE FIRST BLADE" we see in fact how this happens a second time giving direct continuation and showing how great the character is.

    ...And as not everything is flowers we go to the negative points.

    - In the beginning the game shows a simple and fun system that is basically riding a horse or boat, performing missions, challenges, fighting, enemy base infiltration etc., etc. The problem is that these things become very repetitive because they keep the same for the whole game and in the DLC's too, the same tasks for all! this can make the game massively for many, remembering that we are talking about a game with at least 100 hours of gameplay.
    Another point that made me very annoyed was the flirt dialogues, In every **** mission someone is trying to flirting with his character, its really boring because you are focused in your mission and this dialogues apper and you think "ok dude i think is not really a good time for this.".
    In the DLC "LEGACY OF THE FIRST BLADE" that made me even more pissed, I felt that the romance was something forced only to continue the narrative (at least the conclusion of it all is something epic for the story).

    Last but not least, the bad optimization of this game!

    Although you have a rich open world and excellent graphics, this game was one of the most demanding in hardware requisites I've ever played in my life, I have an i7 9700k and a rtx 2070 and I play in 1440p and for countless times I saw my cpu being used at 100%. This is the only game in my library that can use all my hardware, in the bad sense of course.

    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.
