    It is shallow to the point that it does not deserve to be called RPG. All the things you do in the first 30 minutes of gameplay will repeat for hours. The dialogues are so ugly that it almost hurts.

    I love this game! Kassandra is a wonderful protagonist and I feel like a 46-year-old child playing this masterpiece. I love the freedom it gives you to do whatever you want, more or less. Combat is awesome fun with all the various builds available... Done fine seem to appreciate the you're nature of the game compared to many older AC games, but I prefer it this way by far. To each his or her own.

    I don't think this game has anything to do with assassin. Though previous AC games are not the greatest, this game doesn't deserve to be called Assassin's Creed.

El sigilo no es como los anteriores assassins, en este digamos que tienes que conseguir cierto equipamiento para poder matar de una vez, una vez lo tienes matas de una vez a cualquiera salvo quizá ciertos bosses muy tochos. Pero lo que más me gusta de este juego es la cantidad de 'builds' que puedes hacer para ajustar a tu manera de juego, tanto asesino sigiloso, como guerrero melé con un mazo llameante, arquero a un objetivo o arquero a multiples objetivos, daño de veneno, daño de fuego etc... También me encanta la lista a enemigos a eliminar como ya había en Origins en menor medida, pero estos tienen de recompensa esos sets de equipamiento que te ayudarán a construir tu build. En fin un juegazo y esperando con muchas ganas el Valhalla a ver si continúa por esta senda.… Expand

    Movement and combat are extremely realistic and smooth.

    Story is more to the point and simple, making it easy to follow and not get bored of.

    Inventory and leveling system is focused on higher xp gains and more levels so you get rewarded more often, so it's better.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey plays like a "best of" list of stealth/assassin games. It has the naval battles of Black Flag.

It has the naval battles of Black Flag. It has the lieutenant captures and adding to your team like Shadow of Mordor. It has the RPG-like system of Origins with decision trees thrown in for good measure. It all actually works pretty well, especially the decision tree system. It starts at the very beginning when you choose which character to play, either the brother or the sister and there are big changes to the story for each one. I noticed a few small errors in some of the tree decisions like I made a major choice at one point in the story and the game in-inexplicably put me on the other path but it really didn't matter to me and I don't hold it against a game as massive as this as there are bound to be a few bugs. Nothing was game breaking.
    The story is the big sell point. This is probably the best I've seen in the Assassin's Creed franchise. I felt many previous stories (of the few AC games I've played) were paint-by-the-numbers with little emotion or surprises. Odyssey changes all of that. This installment gets a lot more fantastical too with the option of fighting "pre-cursor abominations" in the guise of legendary Greek creatures of myth. That alone adds a whole new dimension to the series and I hope they keep it up in future installments,
    One new feature that really sets this game apart from others in the franchise is the battle system. It's impressive to take part in an actual large scale battle and watch the two armies slowly widdle each other down. Sometimes there are only a handful of soldiers left standing once the fight is over. It's definitely more challenging when you assist the army on the attack at the defending army will have one rival mercenary for you to fight. I hope in the future that the game adds fortress raids, artillery or more challenges to keep it interesting.
    The game is beautiful like most in the series, but I notice after the insane amount of detail in Red Dead Redemption 2 that this felt slightly... "plain"... in comparison. RDR2 is such a huge leap forward that I have a feeling most games will feel this way for a couple more years. Thing like the horse riding is stiff and awkward. Fire effects and weather effects, though good, instantly look dated thanks to RDR.
    Speaking of RDR, one of my biggest issues with that game, I have with AC:O... fast travel. The eagle perch synchronization system is back, of course, but instead of unlocking fast travel to the nearest town.. or towns in that territory... the game fast travels you to this odd perch high up in the middle of nowhere sometimes. This just makes no sense. Some territories have no fast travel option. Including some islands that you will need to sail to if you need to visit again. In games as massive as AC and RDR, that require 100s of hours of playtime, a poor fast travel system is just a giant waste of time and just unforgivable in this day and age of gaming. At least travel by horse in Odyssey is a lot quicker than in Redemption.
    My other major major quip is that the leveling is way too fast in this game. I think Ubisoft responded to complaints about the last game and over compensated even though I have a feeling that a lot of those people never even played that game. For example, the player levels up with nearly every major main quest completed.. of which there are many. However, if you take a side quest or two... and depending on where that mission is located (like in a major fortress with a leader to assassinate or regional treasure to steal) then you can easily level up again from just a single mission. Add on special assassin targets, legendary creatures, battles and more and you will find that you are always above level for the main story quests. Enemies and regions below your level will always maxed at only 2 levels below you which is fine. The problem is the gear you will find will be, at best, 2 levels below you. After leveling another time or 2 that already low level gear will become even worse very quickly. You will be switching to mismatched newly acquired gear often, making Legendary Weapons and Gear sets obsolete very quickly. The material needed to upgrade this equipment is just insane and practically pointless. So enjoy that new Legendary set of gear for a couple hours because afterwards you may never use it again. It's a shame because the gear this time around is a lot more unique and interesting compared to Origins, but it just becomes obsolete way too fast.
    Overall the game looks great and is a blast to play with a surprisingly touching story and some fun new mechanics thrown in.    … Expand

    This game gives you options then forces you to play a warrior style.

    Example: Cyclops mission. I am picking my way through on assassin trait line walking on the top of the buildings and my proximity triggers a cutscene which forces me to fight 5-6 enemies with 2 elites.

    This is horrible... why give freedom if you need to be a warrior to pass? Uninstalled.

Storyline has a bit of a spice in it, a 'WOAH' catch but is otherwise plain, go kill xyz ppl or steal xyz quests over and over. Your combat is a button-mash with a few kicks and dodges for extra effect but no real advantage (i mean u can just mash your way through most fights anyway).
    The enemies will scale up with you and those even 1 level above (at sub-lvl 10 atleast) will be impossible to kill.

    The AI is plain dumb - you hide in clear vision, i.e., just out of their field of view but in CLEAR view of all peasants NPC watching you lurk around but ignoring you. You score a hit and nearby soldiers chase you away - you obviously outpace them. The chase is simple they walk after you then they look around for 5 sec then they return to their post as if nothing happened until you repeat the process.

    This is entirety of this game you keep leveling up and get more 'stats' on your gear but combat is the same. There is smartness or subtlety as it was in the original AC games where you actually felt like an assassin lurking around. Now you just feel like a player grinding to get lvls    … Expand

Still a great game and the best AC game to date for me. Now i will wait for an AC in the Roman Empire.

El juego puede tener este título sin problema "The Witcher 3 en modo arcade dificultad fácil y con un 60% menos en todos los aspectos" siendo un juego del 2015 eso es imperdonable para Assasin's. Aún así si, si te lo tomas como para pasar el tiempo, en modo arcade y con toques humorísticos como son las minihistorias, te lo pasarás bien a ratos, eso si, acabarás harto como yo acabe de la misma misión en todos los lugares: 1- Mata al jefe 2- Descubre el tesoro 3- Quema el botín, no estoy exagerando, es la misma misión en TODAS las ciudades, el 100% y cuando digo el 100% es literal.

    Better than Origins that came with a very linear constructed story, tied to the game progression mechanics.

    Still totally bloated though with bad, boring content to turn a 25 hour game into a 140 hour game in order to give the player more time to pay for microtransactions. It’s an exhausting experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before i get started with reviewing this game i would like to say that i am a rpg-fan and also i also would consider myself a freak in history.
    This was the main reason why i bought the game (i did not pre-order) a few days after it released

    Story:
    The story starts fresh and at the start does a great job of setting things up (there are certain things you have to discover while playing).

    The problem is after the good prolog and the first steps in the mainstory, it goes back to "kill all those people from this list" and "Make some things to find out where these people are to kill them"
    There are some good twist in the game (although some are predictable).

    The setpieces (e.g olympic games, fight for power in Athen etc.) would be there but they did not use their potential.

    Gameplay:
    First i want to talk about the gameplay or the changes to the last AC. And i have to say there is not that big of a change to Origins, when it comes to land-battles and land-combat.
    Sea-combat made a comeback but in a much more simplistic form that in AC IV

    Overall the gameplay is ok even it will start to repeat itself after some hours.

    RPG:
    The RPG-element of the game is building your character. This mean you can pick Skills out of a skilltree and equipt diffrent weapons and armor
    The whoie thing splits into 3 styles of playing: You can play as Hunter (which focuses on long-range), as a warrior (short-range combat [NOT STEALTH]) and Assassin (Stealth and stealthkilling)
    You have the free choice how you build yourself and even mixed characters are possible

    The system has a wide range of possible mixes and builds. Although it has to be said that there are certain builds and skills that are way to powerful (as a warrior with legendary gear you are immortal).

    World:

    Again they made a open world which is f-ing huge. Each map-piece has a different style and locks amazing.
    All in all the game looks amazing. There are some beautiful snapshots in this game

    Things to do beside the story:
    There are tons of things to do beside the story: Sidequests are everywhere. You can participate in the war, collect legendary gear, kill cultmembers etc.

    The problem here is (and that is why i give this game only a "ok-ish" grade) is that not much of that is worth a while. In fact after 50% of the game i started to rush through it because i outleveled everything and everything felt like i had done it at least once before.
    The map is overpacked with things to do and it is tiring after some hours

    Conclusion:

    All in all it is not a bad game. But the story or lack of a really good story and the repetition of content stops it for being a great game.
    If they would have taken away 20 - 30 hours of content outside of the story and put the effort in the story it would be a very pleasant experience    … 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.
