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

    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

    Very similar to AC Origins, with the setting moved to Ancient Greece. The scenery is more lush, you have naval battles, big battles between Athens and Sparta, mercenaries, but despite all these additions the game feels lesser. Maybe because grind feels like it increased. And level gating is still there
    However the inclusion of the Discovery Mode propels this game into good game territory.    Very similar to AC Origins, with the setting moved to Ancient Greece.

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.

    RPG Element that i've really liked
    Fun combat style
    SOME Interesting quest

    Cons :
    - The story, it's really started really well, how complicated and somehow make me hyped up to continue, but kind of dissappointing in the end because how dull it is (especially the main odyssey story), the cutscene has really a good potential but end up boring and basic.
    - First i play this game, too many resemblance to the Witcher 3 that hard to ignore. that's why i directly compared the game while i play. nothing beats the dialogue, well-written story and character, and interesting quest, some good jokes in The Witcher 3, AC Odyssey meanwhile is just low level below in term of all that aspect compared to The Witcher 3. but, in term of gameplay and combat mechanics, sure AC Odyssey win a big part

    good game for casual game, you will enjoy it because nothing can beat Ubisoft making a interesting map, just some vital part that could make this game perfect but they messed it up, 7/10 for me    … 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.

The level system serves as a series of poorly made gates to keep you from progressing through the map too early. Later, the poor level scaling somewhat brakes the game in that it completely neuters the assassin build. There's zero scaling in AI (once you learn to play the game in the first three to five hours, there's no new or novel strategies you'll have to learn or apply). Instead their idea of level scaling is to slowly neuter the assassin's build, completely breaking it around the mid 40's. Enemies you should be able to one shot, them being equal or of a lesser level, now will become unbeatable even with the guaranteed critical ability the game provides you with. Also, the entire map scales to your level, so when you reach level 50, so does everything else on the map. I'm finding the assassin's build at this point is almost completely worthless. Instead of being an overpowered god of death endgame, I find my character has been turned into a eunuch. After each failed assassination attempt, I'm now being forced to play the new, under baked combat system that I absolutely loath. Where the old Assassin's Creed combat system was centered around parry-then-kill, the new design is to have you occasionally dodge or parry, then to have you mash light or heavy attack for what feels like a hundred times before an enemy falls. Not only are the kills unfulfilling, but their tedious and stressful to get. Where Prince of Persia had a unique and fun combo system, this combat system is the exact opposite: un-creative, tedious, and timing agnostic. It's mash to win. Late game, dodging and parrying becomes optional since you can run around the map until your heal ability is back up.

    The story was compelling at first, but it became lost under a deluge of unmemorable side quests. After about 20 hours, I lost all interest in what any of the NPC's were saying and my impatience spilled over into the main story line. I've just made it out of Sparta with a very important character in tow, who was under threat, and I don't really know what's going on anymore. I got so sick of the meaningless dialog, I ended up skipping critical parts of the story, and now I'm just aimlessly wandering around clearing encampments. My interest to complete this title is quickly drying up as I don't see my play style being rewarded (in fact the opposite is happening) the novelty of the gameplay is wearing off, and I've completely lost the thread of the plot. The "one open world, one grand arching plot" was kind of a mistake. The Persian side-quest story line was perfect. It was self-contained, it was the right length, and it was compelling. I would've preferred 3-5 sequential or self-contained "main" quest lines in that style, than one that dragged on for too long and then fizzled.    … Expand

    The Odyssey is the benchmark, or high standard, of RPG games. I spent over 600 hours in the PC version and 200 hours in the playstation 4 version. Here is the whole history of Ancient Greece, as well as its myths and legends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Ancient Greece setting is jaw dropping. I loved it. Nuff said.
    The fashion. Probably better than any other game so far in my personal opinion, yo can mix and match different pieces of ancient armor, robes and clothing. My personal favorite is a sculpted bronze breastplate with white assassin's hood, ancient greek chic for the win.

    What I didn't like:
    The liberal use of fantastical elements. This is no longer a sci fi ancient aliens story, this is pure fantasy, that ALSO has sci fi ancient aliens, alongside pegasi, minotaurs and other fantastic monsters. I'm not a huge fan.
    The story. It seems we've lost track of what the story of the series was originally about. But dfortuantely the overwhelming majority of the story takes place in ancient times in this sequel, with only a small amount of the present being involved, so this is mitigated somewhat.
    AND... the grind. Oh yes, this is by far the worst part of the game. Between every story mission yo will have to kill roughly 7 spartan general, 14 athenian liuetenants, 32 spartan soldiers, 126 athenian archers, 427 spartan triremes, 9,276 athenien biremes and about 47,326 mercenaries. The grins in this game is unreal, and due to the way level scaling works can't really be avoided, as enemies only a few levels above you are near impossible to kill. It's obvios why the grind was included, as there is an XP boost for sale in the store. That is LOW and the publishers should be ashamed of themselves. Completey inexcusable and if yo don't buy into their little scam then it completely ruins the experience of the game. For me, the grind was honestly enough to drop the game halfway through. A shame honestly.    … Expand

    The latest addition to the Assassin's Creed franchise is truly a wonder and a fresh take on a stale idea. The excellent execution, gameplay and story is only overshadowed by greedy micro transactions, paid XP and awful optimization.

    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.
