    Let me start by saying two things:
    1. My PC is at the lower end of the required specs (i7, 16 Gigs of RAM, GTX960). I run the game at medium settings, and it works perfectly well. No crashes or getting stuck, whatever.

    1. My PC is at the lower end of the required specs (i7, 16 Gigs of RAM, GTX960). I run the game at medium settings, and it works perfectly well. No crashes or getting stuck, whatever.
    2. Yes, the game is a bit less "assassin-y". The story revolves around the stuff we know from other games, but it's not that you soon run around in the typical Assassin-outfit or colors. You DO use stealth, a lot of things prove this is an AC-game, but it's less so than the other games. I am a huge fan of the franchise and have played and finished almost all the other ACs (minus Liberation and those mini-games). And I enjoy this one a LOT.

    This game is pretty much a perfect follow up to Origins. If you did like that one, you will enjoy Odyssey. Many of the abilities and controls are the same, yet things were added.

    - Moral choices. They're not having a GIANT effect on the story, but you can be either the cruel, determined person or more of the nice hero.
    - Battles. They're not gigantic, but they are fun. You run around in a battlefield, taking out soldiers and commanders. You're a mercenary, so you pick the sides and help shift powers.
    - Ship battles are back. If you did like the naval battle in Black Flag and Rogue... you will feel rght at home, as they're pretty much the same. However, you can "spec" your ship by capturing officers who will give your ship perks.
    - I found the talent tree to be more fun than in Origins.

    The game does look beautiful. There is a lot to explore. People have complained that enemies level with you, so you never are 10 lvls above your opponents. I don't mind though, because I guess the same people complained about Origins and how you got a ton of quests you couldnt do because you were too low level. So you had to do side quests in order to get to the other main quests.

    Others have complained about micotransactions. If that disqualifies the game for you... that's your opinion and I respect it. However, I think you would miss out on a beautiful game. I for one simply ignore the store. On my travels, I easily picked up enough materials to upgrade my ship, craft arrows etc.

    This is a lot like AC+Witcher3+300, but it still is an AC game. It looks a bit better than Origins, and to me is even more fun. I did replay Origins right before the release, and I enjoyed Odyssey more.

    So my opinion: If your PC can run it (mine can, even though it's not a state of the art up to date gaming machine), and you like the franchise, definitely give this a try. It's a bit less "Don the outfit, equip your wristblades, be a precursor of Altair and Ezio", it's shifting more towards "Be a mercenary in Greece, get tangled up in events related to the other games, use assassin techniques".

    Once again, I do love the franchise, and I don't get why people say it's "not AC". It adds a different flavor, takes a different approach. How often do we need the same "Young guy suddenly is involved in Templar plot, gets an assassin outfit, gets the blades, gets trained, tada"

    Approach this with an open mind. If you did like Origins, this is a step up from that, and to me, it's a totally enjoyable game.    … Expand

    Do not let these whiny babies with 40 IQ and their 0 ratings distract you from playing one of the best Games of 2018 and best Assassin's Creed game in series. It is an excellent open-world RPG, not as good as Witcher 3 of course, but i doubt any game ever will be. Nevertheless it is very much worth playing. You can easily get up to 80 hours of fun out of it.

    + outstanding user interface. the game has a lot of content and arranging it so well is not easy.

    It's amazing what the Ubisoft team can do if you give them enough time. They no doubt created one of the best open world sandboxes.

    The one complaint I share with many players is that while the game is technically great, it doesn't have much to do with "Assassin's Creed". The name could almost be dropped at this point. They really need to continue the main story. It's been 10 years and it should come to a conclusion at some point.

    I have to deduct another point, because Ubisoft changed the story of the game to appeal to homosexuals. Nothing wrong with that, but it shouldn't have any impact on the story and Ubisoft should have the spine to stand up to social justice warriors and stick to their original story. Stop trying to appeal to everyone and just do your thing, for **** sake. Giving in to such idiots makes you look weak.

    tl;dr: The only weak point in this game is the story.    … Expand

It's also gorgeous to look at it. If you like eye candy, this is the game for you. Odyssey follows the trend these days to create a huge world and mash up many different gameplay elements into a single title. The Tomb Raider reboot did this, abandoning the mission-based format of the original series for a Far Cry-style open world combined with Uncharted-style gameplay. A lot of players don't like this, and I can understand this. Many still prefer a more classical approach to games that are more linear and focused. The Bioshock games do this, as well as Dishonored. And they do it for the most part extremely well. Likewise, a lot of players want a return of this series to the early Assassin's Creed games and not the direction that Origins and Odyssey have taken. It's a legitimate argument. I am rating this game like a standalone game, without any reference to early AC games. As a standalone game, I think it's great. It's not Witcher 3, to which it is often compared. I also played as Kassandra, and many have said that Kassandra makes for the better play-through than Alexios. I never felt like I was grinding in this game, which is a common complaint. To me, grinding is when all you do is run around killing things to make xp and get better gear. It's pretty much all you do in WoW, for example. I never did this in Odyssey. Yes, there are a lot of pointless fetch quests but you can skip them and still get levels doing other things. And there are a lot of hidden gems, quest chains with engaging stories in addition to the main story. Odyssey isn't a classic, but I give it a high score because of the fun factor, between the solid fight mechanics, the skill tree, ancient Greece history and lore, entertaining ship battles, the mercenary system, and a pretty interesting and well-voice acted lead character (again, I didn't play as Alexios but from what I saw of him in my game and on You Tube videos, he's not as good). There are a lot of reported bugs, but the game ran fine for me. For a game this size, you can always expect bugs until they get some major patches out. Overall I enjoyed this one a lot as both an action game and an rpg.… Expand

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an absolute masterpiece. Stunning visuals, beautiful environment, fantastic acting, good writing and engaging gameplay all packaged in one.

    While it has its own shortcomings in the QoL department, AC Odyssey is a game I won't mind giving a 10/10, only if it weren't for its incredibly scummy microtransactions, obviously backed with a grind to encourage it.

    Bugs do exist, but are not game-breaking. Micro transactions exist as well (which is sad for a single player game) to speed up progression, but that's not a problem for me. If you don't wanna buy, don't buy, go grind and have fun.

    Game needs some optimization though, since its performance is not good and not stable., and the presets are just bad. Not a huge problem for me, since i game with an: Intel i7-4790 + GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (MSI), averaging 56 fps, at 1440p, with custom settings in a combination of Ultra High + Very High + High. Super playable.

    Finally, "exploration mode" instead of "guided mode" is a must, makes the whole adventure much more realistic and fun. Give it a try, you will never go back to guided mode. Definitely a recommended game to buy.

    I'm eager to know what Ubisoft got for us for it's next AC game.
    I gave it a score of 9 because in every mission I have to be in a specific level forcing me to do side quests that are pretty repetitive.
    What stunned me are the location and the beautiful graphics overall, and to me I thought Origins had insane graphics but Odyssey is even better.
    To me, it's not an intirely an assassin's Creed game but it's a change of fresh air, and I loved it.
    Hopefully the next AC will be more towards the Assassin's Creed genre, until then, Ubisoft did an amazing work, hands down.

There's plenty of innuendo but no graphic sexuality. You can inhabit a male or female avatar. Your in-game choices certainly affect your progress in the story. The setting is during the Peloponnesian War, which was a moment of high drama in that part of the world. Be warned that the Great Plague of Athens features in a few scenes. So if you've ever wanted to meet Socrates, Herodotus, and the like, or if you've been wondering where those "gods" all came from, or where they went, it's worth a look.

    - Some boss monsters are a chore and hard to figure out. It quickly becomes a battle of stamina rather than technique. You quickly realize it's easier to just wait with the fights until you are 5 levels above them and go in like superman.
    - The overall landscape is quite unvaried throughout the map, except for the lushness of the flowers and grass.
    - Mercenaries with both insane near-field and far-field attacks are rage-inducing! No way to take a rest during battle, you feel like you are being pummeled and winning is more down to dumb luck than technique.

    The story is a lot better than in Origins.

    The combat is harder. I ragequitted several times until I managed to adapt to the new combat.
    Be aware there is a forced enemy level scaling that you cannot turn off unlike you had the option in Origins. Ubi added easy, normal and hard mode after many people complained.
    Sometime, especially if you are surrounded my many enemies it's better to run away and hide and try again.

    Every microtransaction is also avalaible for free through the ingame orichalum. Tho it is a lot of griending and luck needed to get the rare stuff from the shop. They upped the chance on getting the legendary items on the oikos store with one of their latest updates.
    There is no need to buy them in the helix store.

    I get the feeling that many negative reviews are from oldschool AC gamers that can't or wont adapt to the new gamestyle. I've played AC 1,2, Black Flag, Rogue and Origins so far.

    The romance options are more of a fling rather than a serious approach like we are used from the Mass Effect series. But this is Ubi's first approach and with enough feedback they might be doing better in the next game.

    Also the Dev's take in a lot of feedback from the gamer community and this is awesome.

    So in conclusion this game is worth it's money and has imo a lot of replay value.

    If you play your Kasslexios as gay or asexual you should keep your finger from the first DLC (legacy of the first blade) for several reasons.
    If you wnat to know more about that you better go and spoil yourself before you decide to buy it or not.

    The 2nd DLC (fate of atlantis) is okay.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I usually dont review games but when i saw so much negativity i got the feeling this game doesn't deserve it. I will share with you my experience with this game from my point of view:
    pros:
    -combat system (you can block, dodge and plan yor attacks when the time is right and it is far better then Assassin Creed Origins; if you apply block 1 millisecond before or after the npc attack you, you will be punished; if you are attacked by several NPC, they will try to flank you and strike not all in the same time so they can trick you to block first attack but you cannot avoid the other npc attack - i really enjoy combat mechanic) Combat with bosses is not annoying like in Origins where you have to kill some bosses only from distance. IMO is the best combat system by far in any Assassin Creed game and is better then The Witcher 3. I played on nightmare from start and i enjoy it.
    -environment, the world is huge and very beautiful. Everywhere you go, you see temple and statues. I already achived max level by exploring 2-3 provinces and doing only side quests and rampage forts/camps in stealth or direct assault with apropriate builds (stealth builds or combat builds (melee or ranged) - you have plenty movies on youtube which explaines this builds in details) or recruting gold npc for the ship. It become very interesting when you enter in a fort on the main gate, npc's signal the braziers, reinforcements come, you have bounty on your head (and bouty hunters will search you there in a short time) and you keep killing npc's soldiers, archers, captains, fort commanders, bounty hunter (who tryes to burn/poison you) and kill all of them in melee fights (not
    with the bow, only running unpredictive, killing npc in rooms of the forts to avoid arrows). You get the feeling you are a bad ass and nothing will stand in your way. I think the developers tried to capture this emotion. Avoid using bows becose it is too easy.
    -naval combat
    -you dont have to spent any money on microtransactions - it help you little with your time, i have gold stuff only by doing the main story or exploring the map.
    -you can recruit "a henchman" (you can tame an animal as a follower: wolf,linx, lion, bear)
    -soundtrack of the game, it tries to capture the feeling of beeing in Ancient Greece
    cons:
    -story, but is not a big deal becose cannot be masterpiece, a masterpiece cannot be a story for a game - you do a movie for this or you just publish it.
    -quest are too repetitive and become boring after a while, but i doubt there is a solution for this. What you can do except go to a location kill/talk npc's? Read a little story or listen an npc? People will not enjoy this.

    Lets be onest: you cannot create Assassin Creed II in 2018. You have to come with some new things which will change the game so much and it become something new. I tryed to play Assassin Creed II couple of months ago and after 40 min it become boring. English is not my native language and i am sorry for my language mistakes.    … Expand

    People who complain about the XP don't know to enjoy a good game tbh. You don't just finish the main quests in 10h, you enjoy the full awesome world with a lot of smart and fun side quests that this game offers. For me leveling too fast was a problem; had to grind for resources to upgrade my gear. There are lots of XP quests that take 5 minutes or less to complete and you get 1/4 of the needed xp to level up.
    Didn't pay a dime on boosters and played the game for over 120 hours without getting bored. Well maybe a bit when gathering skins but this was fixed. The patches that addressed this resource rewards issue were most welcome :)

Makes some parts not as repetitive and allows you to role play the game with how you see fit within the boundaries of the parameters. You can be the great mercenary hero or a down right heartless one only in it for the drachma. I hope the next game in the series will improve the series even more.

    Well, I've been playing the Assassin's Creed franchise since the first game. No doubt everyone agrees that the Ezio trilogy is a masterpiece!

No doubt everyone agrees that the Ezio trilogy is a masterpiece!

    Now let's talk about Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

    -The most of games put immense texts of which the player does not even read because they are mostly boring, in AC Odyssey is the opposite, the immersion that the game provides both in dialogue and in history is extremely rich which makes you want to play more and more.
    This game has one of the best stories and narratives of the franchise, the gameplay is extremely easy and fluid, you have a talent tree that you gain essential skills for your journey. At Odyssey we see that Ubisoft has truly embraced the RPG elements in its narrative as well as the dialogue choices that affect the game story.
    I had the opportunity to play with both protagonists; Kassandra and Alexios, and without doubt Kassandra was the one that most captivated me, in years I did not see a character with such charisma, the player feels connected to her feelings sharing frustrations and emotions with her.
    At game storyline we discover how it connects the history of the franchise as a whole and how important it is to her, revealing a little more of Isu's story and also of the protagonist and the legacy he will leave to Layla.
    At the end of the arc of the main storyline we see how the protagonist is embedded as being one of the main characters of the franchise along with Altair (Desmond's mother's bloodline) and Ezio (Desmond's father's bloodline).
    In the DLC "LEGACY OF THE FIRST BLADE" we see in fact how this happens a second time giving direct continuation and showing how great the character is.

    ...And as not everything is flowers we go to the negative points.

    - In the beginning the game shows a simple and fun system that is basically riding a horse or boat, performing missions, challenges, fighting, enemy base infiltration etc., etc. The problem is that these things become very repetitive because they keep the same for the whole game and in the DLC's too, the same tasks for all! this can make the game massively for many, remembering that we are talking about a game with at least 100 hours of gameplay.
    Another point that made me very annoyed was the flirt dialogues, In every **** mission someone is trying to flirting with his character, its really boring because you are focused in your mission and this dialogues apper and you think "ok dude i think is not really a good time for this.".
    In the DLC "LEGACY OF THE FIRST BLADE" that made me even more pissed, I felt that the romance was something forced only to continue the narrative (at least the conclusion of it all is something epic for the story).

    Last but not least, the bad optimization of this game!

    Although you have a rich open world and excellent graphics, this game was one of the most demanding in hardware requisites I've ever played in my life, I have an i7 9700k and a rtx 2070 and I play in 1440p and for countless times I saw my cpu being used at 100%. This is the only game in my library that can use all my hardware, in the bad sense of course.

    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.

    + The game looks visually stunning. When you look closely not every texture is    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.

    + 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.

    Whether assassin's name is necessary for a game that is hard to assassin? Although it is RPG, either the level of the enemy is always the same as myself or two down. I tried hard to the highest level. I raised the level of weapons, but skill is necessary to assassinate enemies. I want you to return the old assassin's creed.

But as everybody should know, big is not always better, it depends on what you can do with it... I don't have problems with the RPG style, I'm an RPG Player normally. But when you do that, do it right. Origins got me at the first few minutes, I had always the feeling to be in ancient egypt. This here just gives me the feeling of the typical Ubisoft Game - get quest, watch out for colourful points on map or on screen, run/climb to it, kill kill kill. The fight system is so bad, what have you done? The AI is so bad, why? Quests and missions - too much. Why should I redo the same daily/weekly all over again? The battleship thing is also ridicolous, thats the first thing to do. Invest in your boat and rock all over the beautyful water, like you are on a speedboat shooting toothpicks 5 times on another boat to kill them all. Ah, yes... Should I mention the very bad "love scenes". What has RPG to do with that? Again, do it right, or leave it.
    I love the AC Story since I played Altair on PS3 and then with Ezio they created a legend of a game and successors. But by now, I only think of how someone in a management bureau just thought about, how cheap he could get another title with AC, so let's take the assets from Origins, copy Shadow of War, GTA V and let's watch the idiots buy this thing.

    2. Assassinations are still fun, with some added nuances that have made it better.
    3. Combat is solid, with plenty of weapon types and abilities.
    4. Life at sea and naval combat is as enjoyable as ever, but a little simplistic compared to Black Flag.
    5. Massive amount of content including new additions such as epic battles and randomly generated missions.
    6. Duelling mercenaries, heroes and other special characters is a joy.
    7. The gameworld seems to intelligently level up along with the player character. which means the player never really gets too overpoweredm. You can still find weak / underleveled enemies, but never more than two levels below you.

    Cons -
    1. Performance is very disappointing, especially for game that does not really have that much of graphical fidelity. Edit : I can see a few bots here claiming they can run @60FPS on "ultra" in a potato PC. Know that they are flat out lying (notice none of them are bothered to post screens from the in-game benchark, as that would expose their lies). You can check hundreds of benchmarks from gaming media or gamers on youtube.
    2. Evidently, this is the main substance of the review :). The grind is real, and a deal breaker. Rewards are too meagre, and resource costs are too high. It is completely unbalanced. You will never have enough resources to upgrade your legendary equipment up to your level, or engravings or your ship, unless you waste dozens of hours scouring the land for those '+2 iron' ores and '+3 soft leather' deers. Normally this could be addressed easily by adding an in-game slider that multiplies the resources earned or reduces the costs so that players can adjust the level of grind to their liking. But nope. Why do that, when you can charge real money for in-game resources? It is a bloody shame. It turns a 9 to a 5. I cannot encourage this attitude from developers. So, I am forced to leave a negative review for a game that I am otherwise enjoying.

    If you can overlook that last point by having nothing else to do or paying real money for resources, buy this. It is a great game otherwise.    … Expand

    - La ambientación me parece espectacular y creo que es lo mejor del juego. Además yo en bachillerato hice griego y latín y he estudiado ese período histórico
    y la verdad es que me ha encantado como está hecho el mundo.
    - La narrativa aunque no tenga nada que ver con el credo (hasta uno de los finales) es muy interesante y creo que bastante superior a Origins ya que en este era
    sumamente aburrida a mi parecer y no tenía ni un solo plotwist que sí que hay en Odyssey con el tema del padre, lo de Nikolaos, lo de Deimos, lo de quién es el fantasma
    del culto...
    - Gráficamente (yo lo he jugado en ultra a 1080p en PC) la verdad es que es muy bonito, estar en ciudades como Atenas, Mikonos o Esparta entre otras es espectacular así
    como paisajes como la isla de Andros.
    - En general el diseño de los templos, ciudades, islas es algo que se ve que esta trabajado y mola bastante
    - La banda sonora es bastante buena también.
    - El combate me gusta el enfoque que le dan las habilidades y es mucho más versátil que en Origins.
    - Hay contenido para aburrir y para completarlo todo te puedes tirar horas y horas, eso mola bastante.
    EN CONTRA:
    - La optimización en PC es lamentable, hay una utilización de la CPU por la cantidad de DRM que lleva el juego que no es normal, todo el rato la carga a 100% y unos bajones de
    FPS muy sanos en varios puntos del juego que hacen que te mosquees mucho, porque hacer una buena optimización no es difícil simplemente es trabajo y se nota que aquí no
    lo han hecho.
    - El tema de las expresiones faciales es de risa. Es frustrante ver como hablas con alguien que se esta cagando en tus muertos y tiene la cara como si lo acabaran de congelar,
    las únicas cinemáticas que valen son aquellas que son en vídeo que están en la misma carpeta del juego.
    - Hay algunos momentos muy importantes en cuanto a historia que no hay música de fondo (es un recurso que se puede usar tanto en el cine como en los videojuegos) y queda
    muy mal. Uno de los finales es el ejemplo.
    - No me ha gustado como han implementado el tema de las elecciones, si le hubieran dado algún tipo de explicación pues lo entiendo pero que haya dos personajes como tal y diferentes
    finales creo que no pinta nada en un AC y más me he cabreado cuando en el final de la Atlántida pasa lo que pasa, que ya no es un tema del Animus si no de realidad.
    - Me puedo poner a comentar muchos fallos pero voy a ser concreto con dos que son de no haberlo trabajado: He jugado con Alexios, y cuando bajas del barco Barnabás suelta:
    "La comandante ha dejado el timón" (o algo asi creo que era) o cuando estás en el modo conquista (muy bueno por cierto) y te enfrentas a un héroe del otro bando que salta
    como una especie de cinemática, éste dice "La portadora del águila". Aquí lo más fácil hubiera sido poner un solo personaje y han querido hacerlo con dos y mal.
    - La verdad es que en cuanto a bugs Origins había sido un paso adelante para la saga después de lo visto con Syndicate y Unity pero en este Odyssey me he encontrado de todo,
    me gustaria tener imágenes pero no es el caso.
    Enumero bugs: El barco al salir de un puerto (a veces) empieza a ir folladisimo incluso si no le das a lo de velocidad de trayecto, Las telas esas que tiene el barco en la
    parte de atras a veces se salen y como que van por su cuenta (una cosa muy rara), en algunas cinemáticas NPC's atraviesan a la persona con la que estas hablando,la manera
    en que se mueren los enemigos da risa (se caen de manera super random), el tema de la ropa que muchos NPC's se autoatraviesan partes de la ropa (si fueran pocos dices bueno,
    pero es que esto pasa mucho) y me faltan muchos por decir pero si no esto se alarga.
    - Muchos de los equipamentos rollo brazales casco etc... Son copias pero con diferentes colores, la armadura de Teseo sale como 3 o 4 veces repetida, una en legendario otra en
    épico y así con otras cosas también.
    - Cosas de la historia que no me han gustado: El final de la Atlántida está guapo pero la revelación final es demasiado, si solo hubieras podido coger un personaje estaría
    guay pero no tiene ningún sentido con dos aunque sepamos que Kassandra es el cánon. Hay uno de los finales de la familia (el chachi piruli) que tampoco tiene ningún sentido,
    es todo muy de golpe y encima sin música ni nada, no sé, muy cutre me ha parecido. El final del culto no está nada mal pero lo he jugado y visto por YT unas 4 o 5 veces y
    sigo sin pillar lo que dice el fantasma del culto, puede ser que sea yo que no me entero entonces que alguien me lo explique please. El tema de las criaturas mitológicas está
    guay por una parte pero por la otra es como que no encaja para nada en el lore y creo que aunque se explica porque están ahí o porque existen se podría haber implementado
    mejor o explicado más bién.

    Let me give you a % scale of what this Game contains

    60% ("Travelling") Running or riding on your spastic horse trying to find senseless amounts of collectibles
    20% clearing camps/forts
    10% Dialogue / cutscenes
    5% Dying to random stuff
    4% spending time on blacksmith to upgrade gear or sell stuff
    1% Sex

    Positive :
    - Great Setting / Story
    - a nice Combination of assassins creed & witcher 3 (way better than origins)
    - different ways to create your "own" story
    - you can have some happy hours with characters

    Negative :
    - the loading screens times are ridiculous.
    - Microtransactions ( some items/cosmetics you cannot get without paying real money)
    - Maxed out Textures / Graphics aren't worthy to be shown in 2018, this looks like 2015
    - Performance is still lacking. Pretty huge cpu usage (hi there denuvo piece of trash)
    - Will get repetitive very shortly (clear forts, caves or camps / kill alpha animals / find artifacts / kill person x, destroy y or collect z)
    - Levelcapped character / always stronger enemies (some levels too low, you literally deal no damage - regardless of your gear progression you mostly cannot oneshot stealth kill any high level enemy)
    - Way too much collectibles & annoying "puzzles" (graves / caves)
    - no indicator about how much is left to do until you finish one region
    - Way too less fast travel points.
    - unfinished Engine (still as bad as in origins)
    - fck the ship travelling, ship fighthing & ships in general
    - insane reactions of enemy AI, spotting through walls / hear through floors / see you even if you are behind them
    - you have to unlock with the ingame shop that some things are shown on the map (legendary chests, etc..)

    The stealth is glitchy and inconsistent. The difficulty is baffling (4 hits before death on easy difficulty against enemies that can land instant strikes). Tutorial is excessive in some places and grossly inadequate in others.

    Where is the music in the game, you can only hear it when you climb a synchronization point and that's it. I can not play this game for more then an hour, its very boring for me. Even when you are in a fight on the ground or on the water the game does not seems interesting. Where is the slowmotion when killing someone? Tt gave so much more dynamic to the game.

    I can not play stealth in this game, when I have to kill a target that is two levels above me I have to exit the cover and fight him face to face, I cannot kill him by just going behind. Isn't this the whole point of the game? this is why it's called 'Assassin's Creed'. No hidden blade, no double kill. Really, really disappointing.

    I cannot forget how nice were Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Black Flag were the story kept you in suspense.

    The animations of the characters are very bad made as well, I remember that in Assassin's Creed 3 ,the character was jumping the obstacles sliding beneath them and leaning when he had to rise a slope, here all the animation that I mentioned are not present and the character feels and behaves like a robot.

    There are so many other minuses to add but I think this is enough no make an impression about the games.

    Not worth buying at all, better buy Assassin's Creed 2 or Assassin's Creed Black Flag, this game did not worth my money.    … Expand

    What an absurd game! Filled with progressive garbage, and above the protagonists can not use shields being supposedly Greek warriors. So the protagonists are Greek warriors and can not use shields? Well, if so, I'm not interested in using your mediocre game

    Landscape, cities, graphics in general - 8/10
    Immersion: 8/10
    This is sparta: 10/10
    Fun-factor: 8/10

    Micro-Transactions in Singleplayer-Games (not cosmetic)
    -> **** YOU, Ubisoft. HOW DARE YOU put items behind a paywall - when you have a FULL PRICE game with a DLC SEASON PASS.

    Game could have been awesome.

    But this attitude towards the playerbase MUST be punished.

    Summary: 0/10 !

    Got the game for free.
    On the latest patch (1.0.6) doesnt support SLI & SLI support isnt planned. Game runs at 3 FPS in SLI (GTX 1070 SLI). When in single GPU mode game suffers from CPU bottleneck (i7-7820X 4.8Ghz all-cores) → GPU Usage drops bellow 80%.
    Avoid as you simply cant enjoy this game.

    I think this is one of the worst games of the Assassin's creed series. Very little story and strategy, it is all about fighting, fighting and fighting. Endless world with a repetition of the same military camps, forts, caves... it is always the same. In the other series the story was more cautiously written and the missions were of different types, allowing different styles and game plays.I think this is one of the worst games of the Assassin's creed series.

    If you played the first Assassin's Creed game, you've played them all. Ubisoft are just simply texture swapping and pumping out the same freaking game each year. This one has cool graphics sure, but nothing more than that. Don't waste your money and time on this game

    I could write a long review, but I just say that I finished this game using hack, because I was getting frustrated about it.

    BIG BIG AC Fan since the very first up to Black flag then I stopped playing for a while until Origins

    I would not recommend for many reasons. Main reason is that it is not an Assassin's Creed that we used to know. assassination are barely big heavy hit before a fight, the whole game is a warrior game now where you spam space bar and LMB clicks and sometimes some spells The fighting    BIG BIG AC Fan since the very first up to Black flag then I stopped playing for a while until Origins

    The fighting mechanic is boring as hell.

    Discovering the environment is not very interesting since it all looks identical.

    Big step down from Origins.

    The eagle is still there, most hate it but some like it. ( the targeting seemed to be a little better but still very bad.

    GRIND GRIND GRIND that is super simple and not rewarding

    You also keep leveling up super simply for some tallent and abilities but it feels lost

    same thing for ships, it is cool like Black Flag but no fishing and much more simplistic so get Black Flag if you want naval fun.
    You also barely use the boat.

    I played 2 hours and then uninstalled the game.
    Graphics are also to be upgraded, many blurr moment.    … Expand

    Game did not even launch. Nevermind the content, I think the very least we can expect from a $60 is for it to launch to the main menu.

    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.

    An excellent and beautiful game from ancient Greece. Maybe it’s very different from the first game, however this evolution benefits the brand. [Issue#290]

    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.
