    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 boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Como veterano de la saga puedo decir que estoy profundamente decepcionado, para no alargar mucho la reseña haré un breve resumen la historia es lenta y aburrida no engancha y los personajes son muy planos, el combate no se siente para nada bien, la decisión de remover la hoja oculta ha sido nefasta y nadie lo había pedido, las texturas hacen popping muy frecuentemente y los diálogos son bastante irrelevantes. Lo único que se salva es el parkour que está ok, y la exploración que no está mal. En resumen si es tu primer assassins creed y vas con las expectativas muy bajas puedes llegar a disfrutarlo pero si eres un veterano de la saga te recomiendo esperar al Assassins creed mirage (que esperemos cumpla las expectativas).… Expand

    Why those damned naval battles? Misfortune of poorly made game mode, without sense or reason! Whoever invented these maritime missions in the game deserves to receive cold pizza for life! And more: realism and immersion are necessary, but Alexios' balls detailed when you dive with him is a detail of extreme bad taste!

    One of the best Assassin's Creeds so far, I liked every second of it and it pushed me to turn PS5 everyday to end the story despite I am a guy who doesn't have a lot of time to play any game even once a week lately!
    Also I liked Kassandra character and I think they can even expand this game with this protagonist

    Thanks ubisoft.

    Pros
    - massive map that does not need loading screens between islands
    Cons - assassination damage builds are completely useless - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button    Pros
    - massive map that does not need loading screens between islands

    Cons
    - assassination damage builds are completely useless
    - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time
    - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button takes five percent of their HP
    - the story is forgettable
    - the side stories are completely forgettable
    - the spongy enemies are back and it is even worse now, as some of the Mercenaries that come after you can take five minutes of straight DPS so you are going to be fighting a single enemy for about ten minutes, if you include dodging and strafing
    - the microtransactions went from bad to abysmal as every part of progression is either a disgusting grind or pay five dollars for 150%XP boost for two hours

    Want to hear the best joke the series ever told? Assassination damage builds in AC Odyssey. The level based assassinations are back and they are as dumb as ever. Upon pressing the assassination button an animation plays. In this animation, you could see your character stab someone sixty times then set them on fire then poison them then let a lion tear them to shreds and then drop a nuke on them. And they get hit for five percent of their max health.

    But wait, this game has melee damage builds, ranged damage builds and assassination damage builds. Surely if I build assassination damage I can kill people with my assassinations. Yeah, no. In fact you are screwing yourself over completely if you build like that.

    I mean, you will do fifteen percent of their health instead of five but guess what? They are still not dead. And now they alerted the whole camp. So you either have to fight or run. Oh you want to fight? Dummy you built assassination damage not melee damage. So the enemies that are spongy for the melee damage builds are a nightmare for you. Now instead of just the Mercenaries taking five minutes each, all of the enemies will take years off your life.

    Now I am going to make a controversial statement. Ready? Interact button should be an interact button. OK? Let me repeat that. Interact button should be an interact button. Do you know what I don't want to do? I don't want to run up to an NPC and jump instead of talking to them. I don't want to crouch instead of talking to them. I don't want to use an item instead of talking to them. And I certainly do not want to track a nearby non-essential NPC and put my knife through their neck. Of course not killing them but now they are hostile as well as the quest giver.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to make the Interact Button/Assasination Button combo on the controller should be fired on the spot. Like how stupid are you?

    Ok now to the fun part, the microtransactions. When this game drew ire for the amount of ridiculous monetization they came out defending it with the most hilarious lie I have ever seen. The Time Savers are there for adults that don't have time to grind video games. I mean you could do that… or you could just not make the game a grindfest scraping for every bit of progression in order to be tempted into the store. But thanks Ubisoft, thanks for balancing the game just right and thinking about the hard working people.

    Damn this game just pisses me off. I 100% it without ever purchasing a single thing from the store and damn, there are few games that left me emptier than this one. This thing is a hollow shell of what the greater AC series used to be. It is not all bad, as there are moments where I had some fun with the game and I clearly had to enjoy some of it to 100% it but wow. The hours put into this title feel like wasted time which is not a feeling I should get after finishing a game.    … Expand

This game should have been canceled and never seen the light of the day, I honestly believe this game would have been better if it had another title or perhaps a new ip for Ubisoft specially made for rpg grindy gaming lovers NOT Assassin's creed fans, infact as a hardcore AC fan I feel this is insulting and a slap in the face for all of those fans who always supported this franchise, DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY AND TIME ON THIS **** GAME.… Expand

    As usual with ALL of **** games- nothing but a grind with loads of cheating tactics. There was a reason they took the full functioning jump button out of their games- to dictate where and when the player can jump. NO! I will jump whenever and wherever I want to jump. I don't need **** or any other telling me to play the game their way. You can shove their games right up their asses.

    Think of a game. Tons of ridiculous side quests are required to finish the main story. Despite everything, you play by raising the level. You play the game for about 50 hours, but what do you see? Ubisoft said "If you want to see the end, buy DLC. Otherwise, it's not game over."

    This game had a lot of potential, to be one the greatest games.
    So, let's begin with the bad spots:
    1. You need to complete most of the side missions to progress with the story game, so repetitive and it took me 2 months to finish this game. In that case, I've could finish at least 3 video games for 2 months. 2. All the definition of this game was slash, kill, rob people from one place    This game had a lot of potential, to be one the greatest games.

    3. Storyline was not as expected, so a bad ending.
    4. Poor animations and physics- come on, 70-80% of video games nowadays they have good graphics and a lot of insane details, this game to me with this poor graphics it really fits for a ps3 video game and here is the point about physics: when you slash an enemy, there are no slash wounds, just blood covered around all the body, which to me is so unrealistic.

    Good spots:
    1. Open world video game.
    2. Weapons and costumes were interesting.
    So nothing else.

    Verdict:
    Too much mistakes, un recommendable video game to play, and it wasn't worth buying it.    … Expand

This time around however, the characters aren't switched between throughout the game but selected once at the start. To me this is pretty redundant and pointless especially without any indication of what their differences will be aside from gender. I checked if there was any substance to the choice online, but there isn't so I just chose Kassandra as she was easier to understand.

    Speaking of false choices, due to Assassins Creed trying so hard to be an rpg these days there's now constant choice prompts in character interactions instead of the traditional cut scenes. They're mostly redundant and just serve to demand player attention and interaction giving the illusion of choice. 99% of choices only give a different responding sentence and don't otherwise affect the conversation or the gameplay in any way.
    I would've enjoyed the game much more without them and had to stop myself from spamming circle to skip through conversations.
    An example early on of the falsity of choice is choosing a horse. You have to ask about each horse to get told of their "strengths", you go to pick the one with the desired strength only to be told it has a weakness which you dont get told of, then told to choose again or decide. Turns out the horses are all pretty much the same, have the same "weakness" response when selected, then have the same name, and control and travel the same speed.

    As with Origins, ubisoft are constantly ruining the controls of the game, now taking the horrible rpg-like controls from origins and further worsening them by removing shields and requiring multiple simultaneous key presses to block attacks. Additionally, heavy weapons have been nerfed since Origins, where they used to provide a block type move mid-swing, now no longer do so in Oddysey, so heavy weapons are now slower and offer no defense.

    You have the false illusion of being able to assassinate, except assassination doesn't kill on a single hit unless you are of the same level as the enemy. I long for the days of real Assassins Creed, where enemies weren't all gods.

    Many moves which were default in Origins now need to be unlocked, eg Overpower. Even worse, "revelation" aka "pulse" aka eagle vision (rip) something that has existing since AC1, now has to be unlocked and isn't default by points (which makes no sense in an AC plotline). It's also pretty much useless even maxed up as the eagle (up arrow) is far better at finding and identifying things than the revelation/pulse.

    Ruined the lore. According to an item at the beginning within Oddysey (not even part of the plot), the precursors took the names of gods rather than being mistaken for gods as per the original Desmond plot of AC.
    Instead of being assassins vs templars, this game is a soap opera about a family. It's the most boring assassins creed game i've played, and perhaps the most boring game in general I've played. Also, there's now supernatural mythical enemies now. Origins had some mythology, but it only did this within the pharaoh dlc and within the guise of curses. This is just straight-up running around hack-and-slash grinding identical enemies with varying level mixed with mythical beasts.

    I don't understand what this game was trying to be. Obviously some sort of RPG, for some reason. But.. it's a terrible rpg. There's no real role to play. There's no feeling of accomplishment. No variation in missions. No meaning to choice or actions. Only a few decisions actually matter and honestly I didn't care about a single one of them as the situations are dull. Inventory management is rubbish.
    Quests are disposible. There's no plot, it's just a character traveling around trying to find other characters, and whilst doing this having sex with as many people, male or female, as they can. And not in a funny way like Leisure Suit Larry. Just a cringe way like pandering to teenagers. None of the relationships matter, and the sex doesn't do anything for the character or story. The ending even hammers home how pointless all of these interactions were.
    The plot was already quite thin with Origins, but at least what there was of a plot was fairly memorable. The characters mattered and the main arc made sense. There's really nothing memorable with Oddysey.
    Horizon zero dawn, was a much better action rpg, it's such a superior game in literally every way.

    As a fan since the original Assassin's Creed in 2007, this will be the last Assassin's Creed game I will buy. I never imagined one day i'd be stuck playing an assassins creed game where I have to roam around spamming slash attacks on artificially leveled-up enemies and worse, fantastical monsters, while searching for members of my family only for nothing to really happen when I do.. This was meant to be a game about assassins and stealth, good vs evil, vox populi vs capitalism, and the origin of humankind.    … Expand

    Although there were great animation and ancient historical visuals, the story was extended for no reason to become exciting. Plus, the side missions are much much boring while the game forces you to finish them due to the awkward level system .Travelling could become a torture despite of great landscape on the road.

Paying bounties like RDR, the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor, tagging enemies and slow motion stealth like MGSV, the dialogue options and quest vocal cheer from the Witcher 3. Honestly a lot from the Witcher 3... This would not be a problem if not for AC:O's lack of originality. Enemies are too spongey, and levelling up takes far too long. For this reason the game is better with an XP booster... Hard to imagine that was unintentional. The story is the same cliche of revenge and plot twist about you being the chosen one, it really isn't anything you haven't seen before. The "Ancient Greek" setting is utterly pretentious and overstated for the simple reason that the majority of the story revolves around personal problems, money and bandits, thus making the historical setting more of a gimmick than as genuinely deep and educational as God of War, for example. What I mean is the Mythology and History is never deeply explained, it feels more like an annoying child dropping names for attention, when all the adults know full well that the child doesn't understand what theyre talking about. What quality there surely is has already been done to DEATH by other games, including other Ubisoft games... A fine example of "games as service", we are sold this '"minimum viable product" skin and bones while the meat and veg are hidden behind DLC pay walls. I would personally argue any huge fan of this game doesn't understand the games industry and has no appreciation for better games, otherwise why would you play this to be frank...

    A boring, dull, long and confusing game. After completing Origins I must say that this game is a disappointment. The only motivation to carry on is to finish it off once and for all and never think about it again. This game doesn't have anything to do with the AC saga and the creed itself. For me it's the most overrated Assassin's of all.

    To put it simply they need to stop making Witcher 3 clones and start making Assassin's Creed games again. The game uses an RPG style level system that is poorly balanced and fighting one enemy only a few levels higher then you will take 5-10 minutes.

In games like the Witcher 3 level scaling is an option, but the defult is off, and you only really need to turn it on for new game plus. The witcher is a leveling system done right, this is not. The combat is also boring and like I said above, you will need 5-10 minutes of strait hitting a guy to kill an enemy a few levels above you. The world is also boring and samey. There are very few instantly recognizable places. The side quests in that world are some of the most uninteresting and boring things to ever exist. The side characters are boring and uninteresting. The story is also boring, generic, and uninteresting. And it's more of a personal thing, but I don't like alot of strait up magic in my Assassin's Creed. Alse the end game is incredibly grindy. I think Ubisoft should make this a biennial franchice. Give each game more developement time and space them out a bit more, and try to go back to classic Assassin's Creed. Using the newer and better technology available they could make a classic style AC game set in the days of Genghis Khan in the Mongal empire, the Mexican Revolution, the Spanish Inquisition, futile Japan, any time in Russian history. Just make the game take place after Origins, but before world war2, and make a game styled after AC 2 and Brotherhood, just please stop with the sh*tty witcher clones.… Expand

    Graphics are good but the rest is just awful. The identity of Assassin’s Creed IS LOST. If it didn’t have AC in the tile you wouldn’t even know. The RPG mechanics don’t fit this saga, combat is just silly and cartoony and the atmosphere is just too politically correct. It’s a boring and grindy game and the end of an era.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright so I am entirely re-writing this review after having put in probably more hours than this game is worth. Which makes me incredibly sad to say honestly. The amount of pure potential available in this particular release is so incredibly immense and the fact that it feels so rushed in so many places. I want to love this game so much I can't think of a way to properly express myself in some sort of composed manner and not looking like well a mess.
    While there is indeed a lot of very good and really fun things in this game, the story and characters feel for lack of better wording, flat and uninspired for a grand majority of the game. So, I would like to say in regards to my review and previous now redacted review and before I continue further, I have the overall same viewpoint as I did before that the game is not worth the money unless on a 75% or more sale for just the base game as the DLC is well... Bad, really bad.
    So as for overall game play, the game is really enjoyable. It's relatively intuitive and easy to learn. So if you're relatively new to the RPG genre or just want some (most of the time) fair but punishing combat, stealth and an open world "sandbox" that you can do a rather absurd amount of things in. You'll probably have a pretty good time with this game.
    However, if you are coming into this game wanting to have a deep story with fully developed characters and dialogue choices that matter. I would suggest you move on and probably play something like the Witcher series. Kassandra/Alexios as a base character give you nothing to really work with as a player or character motivation until you get into the main story line. But if you are to go ahead and just say "Oh well, then it's fine right?" you would be wrong. For what reason does Kassandra/Alexios have to pursue the contract given to you by Elpenor? You gain nothing aside from by pure coincidence a way off of Kephalonia. (after having maybe set a plague loose on the entire greek world, good job btw... I actually really loved this feature and it gave me a ton of hope as to what was in store for this game)
    ~~~~~~~~SO FROM HERE ON OUT IMMA SAY IT, ~~~~SPOILER WARNING~~~~~~~
    Alright so, I have very little aside from what is stated above up until we get up to meeting with our real dad. Well that's not true, because part of what decides if you get a true good ending comes well before this, actually really rather close to the beginning of the game in the grand scheme of things. Yup I'm talking about how you kill the Monger. Kill him secretly? you're gonna get the true good ending as you'll be saving the greatest amount of people. Kill him in public like the rat he deserves? Well I guess you're out of luck and you are forced to kill Lagos the Archon. An innocent man blackmailed into doing the cults bidding because they kidnapped his wife and child. Bet you feel like a real douche now, huh. WELP there is no way to undo this unless you wanna replay the last 50-75 hours and lose all that time you spent leveling and getting gear, boy that's sure a shame.
    Now onto how you interact with you're real dad, Pythagoras... I HATE, the interactions with him. WHY THE HELL DO YOU FEEL OBLIGATED TO HELP HIM AT ALL? He has done nothing for you, not even once as far as we know and will ever know. "Yeah dad, thanks for the eagle. Pretty neat trick" ????? Also if you choose the dialogue option "You haven't earned my help." Alexios/Kassandra act all angry and Pythagoras gives you zero response to that anger as you're just some child throwing a temper tantrum. You are never given a real, meaningful reason to pursue helping them or even giving a damn about Pythagoras he's just suddenly there. After everything Kasssandra/Alexios has been through, you don't think they deserve SOME if ANY compassion or explanation upfront? But no, that's okay don't worry about all that I guess because that is totally not what some rational and normal human being would do.

    I'm going to skip over ALL of the scenes where we are controlling Layla as they are really just pointless in this game and serve no purpose what so ever really other than to remind you that "Yeah there's plot here, you just have to find it lmao." Even when there really isn't any real plot involving her or anything she is doing at this time. All of those scenes feel incredibly forced as if they were an after thought as the developers seemingly realized that Desmond leaving the animus a few times in the original series happened and received a fair amount of praise.

    TLDR; garbage game, honestly, what a way to kill a franchise. the critic reviews are ONLY reviewing the shortened part of the game for review, NOT the FULL game.    … Expand

    like for instance, the bandit camps are copypasted. EVERY bandit camp has the exact same layout clucked everywhere over the map. The naval combat is mindnumbing as hell just like the combat. Every enemy is basically a damage sponge.

    Everything the franchise was based on is completely thrown out of the window. You don't have a hidden blade, there is no creed or templars even. And the inclusion of magic is godawful; what even is this? Suddenly i am able to magically ignite my sword or smear my axe with poison with sheer magic?!. I remember when they removed a crossbow from AC 1 just because it was not historically accurate.

    furthermore, the choices are a ridiculous addition. your playing through someone's memories through the animus. Why in the hell should you be able to make choices?
    Parkour is also garbage and completely removed. you don't even have to find a path anymore you can just hold your joystick forward in combination with X. And you just walk in a straight line over rocks and everything.
    hunting is also awful, killing a bear or something is not even a challenge, but a one hit. IT IS A **** BEAR! you should be fighting for your life!

    and the most awful of all is the removal and massacre of stealth. Why remove social stealth? why remove haybales?
    I simply do not get it

    In conclusion, this might be the worst game I have ever played in my life. And I have for the life of me nothing positive to say about it.

It is the first game in the series that I regret buying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This could be GOTY! Amazing to play, great storyline, great mechanics! This is the kind of game you can play for hours at stretch. I love the greek mythos and on the first impression, I thought, wow I can be Leonidas and I can be Themistocles. The game is not greedy. You can not purchase anything and yet be OP. The classification of gear (Common, rare, epic, legendary) is rewarding enough. The boss fights are draining, but the rewards are worth it. The game has a pretty good sense of humour too. Jesting with characters like Alkibiades and Socrates is quite funny. The perpetual Peloponnesian war never lets this game end and you can switch your allegiance at your whim! That's what a mercenary does right? The Skill tree is not too complicated and fun to use. The USP is the Sparta Kick, paying homage to Leonidas' legendary "This is Sparta"! I would've liked it if I could upgrade the Ship (going from a sailboat to the Black Pearl), but the ship's shape and size remain the same. There is always more than one way to achieve an objective. This AC would keep you hooked for hours with over 200+ hours of gameplay before the main quest line ends. Then again, you can still explore various island nations, do Bounty or side quests. Gameplay-wise, it's quite nice. Decent map pointers move mechanics are uniform and refreshing combat mechanics. You can't just pound your enemy into submission (maybe you can in the later stages of the game), you have to wait for the opportunity to attack. Fighting to run away from an OP enemy is also looks quite genuine. Customizing the gear and character and gear looks is sweet, one moment I am a greek hoplite, in next one I am a Persian assassin..ha! Fun right?
    My verdict: Please buy, you won't regret it!

    It’s pretty bad. Horrible gameplay, the world is way too colorful and combat is n realist. Pretty much opposite what Assassins creed used to be.

    Il peggior capitolo della saga! Personaggio piatto, storia che non colpisce, bisogna livellare ed anche molto ripetitivo. Manca la possibilità di equipaggiare lo scudo in quell'epoca storica molto grave. Bella l'ambientazione.

    Completely lost the plot with this one. The assassin identity is utterly nonexistent. Fighting mechanic is the worst from all the genres and the acting and animation is embarrassing almost cringeworthy.

    Assassin's Creed was an idea that would have been a leading figure in the gaming industry. But instead it degraded itself to be a wannabe of masterpieces like the Witcher. Ubisoft you have turned what I beloved into something lifeless,boring and fake. I have no doubt Valhalla will do the same.

    You may have realised that I didn't mention anything about assassins, probably because there aren't any. The traditional one shot assassinations now only deal half the damage and no longer kill someone instantly and the story is somewhat boring. I could probably get into it if the main quest didn't require 5 hours of side quests to get to the level you need to start the thing. Some of the characters are interesting but I do have a question. Why make the player choose between 2 characters if you only really care about one? It just screams lack of dedication. Not only that, but the same character model is used again and again, oh look this pirate woman is a priestess now on the same island! And the mercenary's make no sense as they can track you instantly despite being over 5000m away from you at the time and just randomly stalk you, phones didn't exist back then so it was word of mouth or letters and neither of these were implemented. The gems and rocks you are me at to collect haven't been designed well either, they morph into walls so you can't reach them but ping anyway. It could be ignored by some but annoy the living daylights out of me. This shouldn't have been labelled as an ac game as it holds no resemblance to the franchise. Origins was nice because it was a new game style but even then the replacement of Eagle vision with an actual Eagle was pushing it. Now eagles are the eyes of the characters with no explanation for how this happened. Don't get me wrong, the characters look great with Alexios having very kind eyes and the facial expressions being amusing, but the game feels like it was rush produced and kind of shows that. Now there's also an emphasis on tombs, like the Greeks were all lara croft and possessed magic. I'm going to be honest and say that the modern story is lost on me at this point. I have no idea what's happening and each game seems to be standalone to me now. Not only is the game incredibly repetitive, there's also a very large amount of bugs that just cause the game to crash or break that don't appear in the previous installments like unity or syndicate despite being played on the same console. Multiple forums online also attest to these bugs appearing across multiple platforms and countries so it can't be the console itself. I could go on and on about why this is a bad game but that would waste more of my time and I think enough of that has been used on this game. The story line is forgotten when you are forced to level up before playing and the exploration mode is illogical when it essentially guides you to the marker anyway. Do not fork out full price for this, I wouldn't even bother as you will just become frustrated unless you like meaningless combat and time wasting. For a game marketed at £40 on release, it barely rivals the early xbox original games as games like the original fable would be a more enjoyable experience.    … Expand

    The open world is huge but it is an empty space with nothing to do and the map looks the same everywhere you go

    This game has some HUGE level gating so you have to do like 7 boring side missions to level up your character after you beat a main mission and Ubisoft is doing this to force you to buy microtransactions (XP boosters and such) and if you do a mission which is like 2 levels or 1 higher than your character? you get DESTROYED

    Eu gosto de jogar games imersivos. E AC Odyssey não tem uma gota de imersão. Nada que o jogo me ofereceu chegou a me motivar continuar jogando. Parei de jogá-lo após quests arrastadas passarem dos limites. O gráfico é ruim. O enredo pior. Horroroso.

The world feels dead and doesn't feel lived in, Origins nailed this aspect and it is baffling to me how this game could screw it up. They threw away Bayek, a great character, for Kassandra/Alexios badly acted characters that have no actual personality. I would not reccomend this game. It does everything to try to make you buy microtransactions, which don't belong in single player games. The game gives you so little XP for quests further contributing to the feeling of grind. The game is a chore to get throught and at the end the game doesn't even have a satysfying ending no matter which choices you pick(not like they even have any real effect). I would reccomend to stay far away from this game, as it really isn't fun to play.… Expand

    I cared more for these characters and the world than I ever did in previous Assassin’s Creed games, and I think that’s part of why this reboot is so successful. Playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey left me feeling valiant and triumphant as I worked my way up the cultist food chain, and and I was always excited to see what Kassandra was off to discover next.

    If someone had told me couple of years ago that Assassin’s Creed would become a full-fledged action RPG that would not look out of place on a shelf next to The Witcher 3, I would have snickered. But here I am, over 80 hours into Odyssey and still unable to believe that really happened. [12/2018, p.44]

    It also commits a few of the same sins: in particular, the deluge of gar drops feels vaguely insulting, conditioning the player to lust after items exclusive to the in-game store. It's lifted, however, by the relative wit and intelligence of its quest design, and the delicate notes of uncertainty and curiosity introduced by Exploration mode. [Christmas 2018, p.108]
