    A game that i was afraid to play because i love ezio's trilogy. The game surprised me a lot and i wasn't expecting this kind of quality from Ubisoft.

    It may not be an Assassin's Creed title formula, but it is a great game still

    This game insults the history of Greece, which is ironic when we see historical accuracy in Assassin's Creed Origins and of course, we don't have diversity because it's Africa. When you wanted white culture to be diverse you made it unrealistically diverse. Why should I fight my people with a 'hero' from another country? no thanks.

    Successful and fun game to play. Much better than Origins and Valhalla. Don't mind the low score. Give it a chance if you haven't played it.

    Enjoyed the game since long break from this genre. But it got boring really fast. Cool islands, loved singing while swimming on a boat.

    - I'm a huge fan of open world games where the game is focused on history and the style is medieval fantasy, but this one managed to surprise me on the negative side and I'm really sorry for the 15 euros I spent buying it, it's not worth the money they ask for it , I can't understand how anyone likes this type of game, which is a total abomination to the Assassin Creed franchise, I think some people are losing track of what a good game is and what makes it good and graphics are not everything.

    (Experience will gaming)

    + Positive (Good)
    (World)
    The level of detail, the setting in general of open worlds made by Ubisoft I am referring to more recent games, they are very well crafted and beautiful, in this we have to take our hat off.
    (Cutscenes)
    The cutscenes are also great, they are reproduced at 30fps with excellent quality, I would prefer a thousand times that the game was based on an action movie where you could make your choices. Since the previous model is bad at all levels.

    - Negative points (Bad)
    I love games that contain a suspenseful story, drama and action and this game managed to demolish these concepts in a negative way.

    (Game History, Main Quest and Side Quest)

    (Main Quest)
    The game's story in general is the worst annoyance I've ever experienced in a game, it doesn't have any emotional weight as if the story has no soul and doesn't convey the proper feeling when being told to us players.
    The story is understandable even the main quest is very short the only thing that makes the game time consuming is the absurd size of the entire map because they put you doing a quest 10 thousand km away from where you are.

    (Side Quests)
    The typical let's go there we have nothing to do so let's add more missions for the player to walk backwards doing absolutely nothing. Boring 100%

    (Dialogue and Writing Character)
    What can I say about the game's voice acting, authentic cavemen without any soul in the interpretation of the roles that the characters should have, the expressions of the lines are super out of sync with the non-existent facial expressions on the NPCs.
    Just for that, it takes away all the immersiveness that the game could have and doesn't have, the lines that the characters have when interacting with the main character are bad, it seems to have been written by a 10 year old kid.
    It gets worse when we enter death scenes, reunion with some character from your family that you haven't seen for I don't know how many years and the voice actors are trying to force an emotional and sad scene, but the representation is so mediocre that the characters at a certain point seem like they are laughing.

    (Micro-transactions in a Single Player game)
    Since Asssassin Creed Unity (I think it's this one) had co-op filled the whole game full of micro transactions, it doesn't make any sense.
    Not to mention the cosmetics and accessories they give you in expansions that stay in the inventory and you can't remove it and another reason that takes away the immersiveness and the concept of level progression.
    It shouldn't exist in any game in any expansion to give players "legendary" "ops" or "strong" items and I think it should be more the player's intent to play to get those items that can have a positive impact on combat.
    The horses all pretty, with fire and wings is overkill.

    (Combat and Skills)
    I have to say that I get an aneurysm playing with this game's combat, I can say that I prefer The Witcher's buggy combat a thousand times over Odyssey's combat, there's no fun going around hitting npc's and using mediocre skills.
    - The skills that are available are as simplistic as possible, creativity died at the beginning of the game's production, first Assassin's Creed should be a game focused only on Stealh and not direct combat.

    (Relationships with Characters)
    During the game you will find npc that you can interact lovingly and sexually, of course there was no shortage of a game in the middle of the 20th century where I have to do with LGBT content in the face and where they put several quests from guys asking my character if they want to do bad actions in bed, Of course I was happy to refuse all proposals and kill the npc.

    Worry about making games in conditions than worrying about adding relationships, failed attempts at sexual interactions with the character like fornicating with old women and the opposite sex to sympathize with a portion of the target audience I'm surprised they didn't put them fornicating with animals. .. Baldur Gate already did it let's see what will happen in the next game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed Odyssey earns a solid 8/10 from me. The game holds a special place as my first RPG, captivating me in 2019 with its enchanting world and a plethora of awe-inspiring armor and weapons. The stunning graphics were a treat for the eyes, immersing me in a world that felt almost tangible. The initial playthrough, followed by a second, were both delightful and enthralling experiences. The two DLCs were particularly noteworthy, one delving into the mystical realm of Greek Gods and the other reconnecting with the franchise's roots through the Assassin DLC.

    However, I can't ignore some of the game's shortcomings. The vast world, while awe-inspiring, could also be overwhelming at times. The numerous side quests often felt inconsequential, akin to the island boys in 2024. Despite these minor drawbacks, Assassin's Creed Odyssey remains a commendable game, especially recommended for those new to gaming.    … Expand

    I have never played a game as boring as AC Odyssey. While the game is fun, it's just way to stretched out. 95 percent is just traveling. Finished a quest? Nice! Now go and talk to 3 more people that are far away from fast travel points. I'm 50 hours in and I just can't be bothered to finish the Atlantis DLC because it's so unbelievably boooring.

Прекрасная графика, хорошая, как для такой игры оптимизация, не плохой интригующий сюжет имеющий неожиданные повороты, хорошая боёвка с плавными анимациями, в конце-концов - огромный и очень красивый открытый мир. Чтобы понять насколько это шедевральная игра нужно поиграть самостоятельно, и желательно купить, ведь одно дело когда ты играешь на пиратке для ознакомления, а другое дело когда покупаешь по истине одну из двух лучших игр 2018 года (топ 1 игра Spider Man вышедшая в том же году, топ 2 - AC Odyssey). Про сюжет много сказать не могу, ибо будут спойлеры, скажу лишь то, что персонажи и некоторые миссии действительно ставят игрока перед выбором, некоторые персонажи вызывают сопереживания. Единственный минус игры, который я нашёл - перебор с гриндом. Гринда в игре действительно очень и очень много, и речь не столько о корабле который нужно прокачивать, не о навыках персонажа, даже уровни коих в игре 99 особо вопросов и затруднений не вызывают, я говорю и дополнительных навыках которые открываются после достижения 50 уровня. У каждого дополнительного навыка есть стадия прокачки состоящая из 20 очков необходимых для полной прокачки навыка. Их в игре настолько много, что понадобится около 1000 очков опыта, на низкой сложности полная прокачка всех дополнительных навыков может вызвать дисбаланс. Радует, что дополнительные навыки к прокачке не обязательны, но всё же.… Expand

Very silly game and not worth spending time on if you actually want to play a video game and not just a lifeless boredom simulator,,, As for how Ubisoft can improve on this game, valhalla certainly isnt the right way to go as it is somehow worse in terms of stretching out the gameplay so thinly until the player cannot feel any enjoyment when playing. The best assassins creed game is probably black flag which is everything odyssey isnt. Buy black flag instead of roleplaying as superman /wonderwoman in the worst way possible.
    At the same time, the game is very graphically intense and deep. I really liked the greek architecture and culture, it was magical to feel that as i am very interested in greek mythos and culture so this assassins creed time period is really great as it speaks to the nerd in me haha.

    I enjoyed this game very much, I really like the combat in this game, Graphics wise it is AMAZING to view and there is so much going on in the world, village people doing daily chores. The weapon and armor Build system is complex but ounce you work it out is very rewarding. Some quests are repetitive and can get boring but overall this is a great game.

    Dear Ubisoft, I've played this game for exactly 120 hours and in a few hours I will have finished everything in the game. Yes, I loved it, but please make your commercial policies in the games a bit more player-friendly. Don't make a service game either. It is clear that this will not be a good system. I hope you will make an effort to make beautiful and meaningful games. Good game to everyone.

    Artstyle
    The artstyle is beautiful and the enviorment is emersive to you as a player.

    you have 3 diffrent "talent trees" witch you can costomize your charecter to either full force in or stealth or archery to your own liking.

    the storyline.
    the storyline is a really combined storyline and it all net itself to the end.

    Leveling system
    you do level by clearing quest and if you want to level even more you can go to diffrent camps and kill off as many npcs as possible.

    In my own opinion and or you that enjoys as long and intresting RPG game this is one of the best.

    If you want a auto parry hack and slash/ stealth game go onto the older titles of assassin's creed!

    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.
