    Assasin's Creed Odyssey is a very beautiful and large-scale game. It shows many interesting historical places and tells about the life of an ordinary Greek, but also tells an interesting story about a mercenary from the kind of Spartan kings. In the game I really liked the music, the ability to fight both at sea and on land, the plot, a large selection of actions and many side quests.

The only minuses that I picked out from the game is the grind, but it is leveled again by good (as for me. Other players think differently) side quests, as well as a minus is a not very smart AI.… Expand

    One of the best Assassins creed games. Perfect fight system, interesting side quests, big open world. Only main story sucks.

    Game is crazy long, finally beat the main story about 100 hours in, obviously doing a crap ton of side quests. The gameplay is well polished, favorite Creed game yet.

    Let me start by saying that I have not played a single Assassin's Creed game since the very first one many years ago. So what you will get is the perspective of basically a new player who liked this game very much who played offline without any engagement with the premium content store or player made quests.

So what you will get is the perspective of basically a new player who liked this game very much who played offline without any engagement with the premium content store or player made quests.

    + The game looks visually stunning. When you look closely not every texture is perfect, but considering how gigantic the open world is that is to be expected. Still, it is one of the most aesthetically pleasing open worlds I have ever seen and just a joy to look at and travel through. Sometimes I found myself crusing by ship to my destination for a solid 10 minutes instead of fast-traveling just because it was so much fun.
    + The combat (and controls in general) is snappy and aggressive which at first takes a bit getting used to, but it really forces you to engage with the combat system which makes it all the more rewarding. You start out like a nothing and by the end you feel like an all-powerful demigod. They did a good job at getting the difficulty right here. It's neither too easy nor too hard.
    + The mercenary system keeps combat fresh and really makes you feel like your actions matter, because as you commit crimes your bounty constantly increases which also means more bounty hunters will be on your heels. Really well implemented and some of the most challenging and unscriped/surprising fights happened in that environment which helped freshen the combat up
    + The boss fights against the mythical beasts were awesome and some of the biggest highlights of the game for me. Just wish there would have been even more!
    + The ship to ship combat deserves a game by itself. Just let that sink in for a moment. They build a complete Fantasy/Historical hybrid RPG with tons of content and then they added a massive aquatic warfare mode into it! Imagine a Mass Effect space opera in which you also fly your spaceship with tactical and satisfying ship vs ship combat. That's basically what they have done, just on the Mediterranean.
    + As a fan of ancient Greece and Rome this game checks all the history nerd boxes with me. Just cruising around the Mediterranean, exploring ancient temples and Greek cities is a dream come true. Not everything is of course perfect, but to date it is the best thing we have. Great praise to UbiSoft for the fantastic job they've done here.
    + I thought the story was surprisingly good. It really keeps you on your toes, you feel engaged and you feel really motivated to help the very well voice-acted characters. They are for the most part fun, well written and interesting NPCs who offer thoughtful, funny and engaging side quests. Only the ending of the main story is a bit weak when the main villain is revealed (as if you hadn't guessed it by then).
    + There's a good item variety and a large number of cool and unique ones that you wanna wear only based on how awesome they look. I for one feel in love with the Amazonian warrior breastplate which gave Kassandra such a ferocious fierce look. She looked like an ancient sun goddess!
    + I almost forgot the main character! I chose Kassandra and she is not only voice-acted superbly, her dialogue really lets here come alive. She is a strong yet authentic bad-ass female character that I really fell in love with! More of that please! I didn't play Alexios but the dialogue in-game seemed a bit too hard on the "buff, bad-ass male macho" type.

    Now the game is not without its flaws:

    - The much criticised economy is not as bad as I expected it to be. There's just a couple of things you need to be aware of. Most notably: The game is not designed in a way that allows you to level up your items of choice by the blacksmith from start to finish. You just won't have enough resources so don't waste them, just pick new items and save your valuable stuff for when you want to upgrade the real cool stuff later
    - There's lots of generic quests all over the map that you just learn to ignore after 5-10 hours when you realise that they're just filler for the most part.
    - The game is designed to be played a large number of hours. I really wouldn't recommend it to someone who only has 1-2 hours per week. It will not only take forever, I can't imagine it being very satisfying, but maybe the changes to the XP and Gold generation that UbiSoft announced help in that regard.
    - The ending of one aspect of the main story was a bit of a let-down.

    Best Assassin Creed I've played.
    Main story is fine, side quests are okay, even though some are repetitive and dull.
    Graphics is great.
    Combat is engaging with different styles according to skills and weapons.
    Voice acting and music are fantastic.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a great game with a vast and beautiful open world. The game is set in ancient Greece and I think it captures the world of in that time perfectly. The characters are pretty good but the dialogue can be a bit not great at times but I think you can forgive that for all of the other content. Over all I think it's a solid 9 and I really recommend this game.

    The story is interesting but not at any level as deep as Witcher 3 provides. Most of the decisions have very little impact on the outcome. After the first ~20 levels, I think you have seen everything the game can offer, even it is becoming in a way easier as you start to ramp up skills that are more lethal than the basic levels. For me the bounty hunters appearing cheating in the middle of the fight and follow you to the bush your are hiding into resulted in that most of the money I earned went into clearing the bounties even in the middle of fights. Apart from this it is a brilliant game!    … Expand

    Really good game, Ubi would do well to just abandon the AC part though as it's not one of those, that's kinda why I've played this and origins really. Normally I don't like Ubi AC and other games because they are so whacky social justice perverts and the whole series is antichristian to the core. It should really be called antichrist's creed because that's what it is meant to be by thoseReally good game, Ubi would do well to just abandon the AC part though as it's not one of those, that's kinda why I've played this and origins really. Normally I don't like Ubi AC and other games because they are so whacky social justice perverts and the whole series is antichristian to the core. It should really be called antichrist's creed because that's what it is meant to be by those round hats at ubi. The horrid talk about being developed by different weirdos at the first is so hypocritical it's perverse. Sensitivity to everything except western christian culture, wankers. This applies less to the last two AC games because it was before all that, but in Origins you can see the attempt to equate Bayek, the medjay (magi), with Christ which is just perverted garbage. You have to play that story and the Sinai DLC to get that though. The round hats and their buddies are always scheming to program the goy for their world slave state they want so bad.
    ---Apart from all that this is a good game that goes back to 450 BC or so, it's not educational or historically accurate as the stalinist/commie/1984 ubi would have you believe. It's huge, varied missions and environment are amazing. I just regret only being able to play it at 900p medium settings for ~60fps on my laptop. Drops lower in high npc areas etc but on average is close to that. It's a huge game that you can take hundreds of hours to completely finish or just go through the campaign. I use a trainer to cut out grind so that wasn't an issue for me. I wish they would have made kassandra more female and not sjw pc manlike, the one thing they really needed to copy from witcher 3 is Cyri's body type and combat but this does copy a lot from that game, like origins did as well. I find the mission tracking structure to be annoying at times as it breaks up the flow of a mission, sometimes sub-missions it won't auto track and you have to go find it in the menu to track, if you take on lots of missions that can be hard to do. I love the hawk mode as well, but I don't need a non removable prompt telling me to use Ikaros, let me do it my way. Too many hand-holding prompts in general. But there is so much you CAN do if you want that it's mind boggling, there's the Kosmos Cult, the war campaign, the ship missions, the DLC's and numerous side missions on top of the sizeable main story. Ubi needs to remove the excessive DRM though as that's probably a big reason this game is not too scalable and for even high end systems isn't consistent. A Gog release would be great or just a patch removing all that stuff after 2+ years would be nice.    … Expand

    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.
