    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!

    This is the first AAA game that I I gave it up playing because of how bad and stupid the story is. I am pretty sure it was made by kids.

    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.

    The fighting mechanics and open world are fun, the animation and story presentation is terrible. I wish they paid more attention to the quality while making the game. I didn't like PS4 pro performance.

    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.

    2. All the definition of this game was slash, kill, rob people from one place to another.
    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

    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]
