    Ladies and Gentlemen, Ubisoft now official confirmed, that Assassin's Creed series not anymore exist.

    This is the second clumsy attempt from Ubisoft to make a competitor to The Witcher 3. Ubisoft even stolen a music theme for their main theme from The Witcher 3.

    Firstly, I would like to start with that I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed series. And I just love the main concept of DNA memory reading and strict narration based on reconstruction of ancestor's memories. Though this concept is totally missing in latest AC game. You can choose gender of your ancestor (what?). And then Ubi's narrative designer says: "we wanted gender equality and we found a way to do this while keeping game authentic". Really? She also said that she haven't played AC games at the moment when she applied to Ubi. How can a person claim that game is canonic if she is not even a player of previous parts. All she knows that previous chatacters were white males and she decided to change this, because it wasn't tolerant. As a result we have this parody. It is not sci fi anymore. Game is filled with some kind of Hogwarts magic with mythical creatures and all that... Stealth means nothing in this game. It is what remained from old mechanics, but this game is all about combat, while previous parts were about hiding in shadows. You can shoot through the walls, can move through time and space, can jump from any height without dying and all this thanks to artifact. Artifact that just controls minds, somehow helps you to not die after falling from a 100 meters rock. Your constant ability to choose is against all the canons. How it can be best AC game if it isn't even an AC game. Some slasher RPG, that's what. Another stuff is more technical. This game has awful movement animations, with various glitches. And even more awful facial animations. That is not what I expected from a AAA studio with huge portfolio of great games. Where are the people who cared more about gameplay and about story, than about liberal changes? And Ubi are like: "now you can be gay if you want!". Priorities. Story itself sucks. It is really boring. You just running from one character to another, asking everybody about your mom and they give you simple quests, which just take your time. Grinding is at new level. They replaced chest icons with question marks and you should feel like some explorer. And what I didn't expect, when I bought Ultimate edition, is that this edition is not complete. They still made paid outfits for real money. They are not included in the best edition!? When I spend money on super extra hyper full edition, I expect it to be really full. Greedysoft felt to EA level. Asking money for skins? What is wrong with you, guys? Remember AC Black Flag where you get everything in Gold Edition to feel like you own whole game? What happened to this. We agreed with your policy to cut game on DLCs, but paying even more after buying biggest edition is not okay.    … Expand

    Still wondering why critics reviewed this so high. The only good part of the entire game is the level of detail in the open world. Literally every other aspect of the game feels half baked or straight up bad.

    Terrible grind once you hit a certain point. Its clear to see they designed the game assuming people would pay for microtransactions. Apparently 60$ isn't enough to play the game anymore. Would you pay money to install poop simulator on your computer? If yes, this game is for you.

    This game feels like a repetitive grindfest with lots of nothing busy work. Runs like garbage as well.

    Spend hours grinding boring repetitive side quests using spammy combat to get xp/items so you can level up and get a sword with +1 so you can do the next mission then Rinse & Repeat.

    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.
