    The first piece of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC is definitely more of the base game and everything you enjoyed in it. Unfortunately if didn't enjoy the base game, then this won't change your mind. Nothing new to game-play, it pretty just more story and more people to kill. They do add a new skill armors and weapons but they aren't special or cool enough to change your play-style orThe first piece of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC is definitely more of the base game and everything you enjoyed in it.

    The first episode of Legacy of the First Blade boring, dreary and monotonous. In general I expected that will explain from where in general the hidden blade who such these Persians and has all this what relation to an original game undertook. I was not given anything new, just filled out the empty and dead map of Macedonia with game activities. The only plus - final fight with the leaderThe first episode of Legacy of the First Blade boring, dreary and monotonous.

    The ending so in general finally bores, again nothing was told and suggested to pass the 2nd episode.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story and missions are good. Some new introduced characters lack character depth.

    Gay RPG players beware that your eagle bearer might act out of character regarding an implied forced hetero romance and a normal life with a child.
    This definitely is going to happen in episode two. I just have been forced to play through this last night, despite luring you into a safe feeling that you can avoid this with the dialogie options.
    YOU WILL BE FORCED INTO A HETERO ROMANCE AND A BABY IN EPISODE 2.    … Expand

    The least bad of the 3 episodes, but I guess it's because at first you don't know what to expect.

    Very intriguing, interesting characters and plot.
    Can't find to see where it leads!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A good expansion
    The first episode of this "Legacy of the First Blade" DLC has a different opinion depending of the point of view of the story. About this new "Order" and the new characters are a good addition to the story, they can continue Mysthios's Odyssey and her/his peaceless life. Also, the election of the Macedonia region as the center of the story is a good decision, the long travels were getting bored. But the addition of this forced romanced story was the bad side of this DLC. I hope in the next DLC's will make the story more deep.    … Expand

    This DLC is worthy of buying only in Season pass bundle sale. It cost me 25€ and it contains all DLCs.

    So lets talk a little bit about this DLC now. Its pretty short, it contains few new characters and new enemies from Persia. It also contains one new ability, but that is all what is interesting about this. Plot is kinda interesting, but it took me only two hours to finish it, so i    This DLC is worthy of buying only in Season pass bundle sale. It cost me 25€ and it contains all DLCs.

    not worth the money: both add-on's aren't really adding anything to the game. better stick with the basic game, unless you got them for free by any chance

    ciekawe rozszerzenie ukazujące w końcu związek tej części serii z główną linią fabularną AC. Historia głównie sztampowa choć miejscami ma swoje momenty na plus

    Legacy of the First Blade is a mostly underwhelming first DLC that has some interesting story information for long term fans of the Assassin's Creed series.

    The added lore is a welcome addition in the episode but what Hunted boils down to is this: if what you want is to spend three more hours doing the same things you did for sixty hours, then Legacy of the Lost Blade’s first episode is a success on all fronts.

    With this new Assassin's Creed Odyssey storyline, the player is pleased to meet those who are not the Assassins yet, but still use their hidden blade. This very short DLC is filled with interesting characters, but the lack of brand new mechanics at this stage should make you wait until the release of all the three episodes to buy this DLC.
