    Amazing game
    Pretty long story
    Huge open world map
    So many side quests
    Good graphics
    Sailing with your boat is very fun
    Likeable characters But The combat system could have been better
    It gets very repetitive The characters you interact with in dialogues dont feel alive at all

    I would recommend this game to anyone who reads this.

    The story, Kassandra as main character, the world as itself is great! But after some time of playing you could get bored after so many repetetive things you gotta do during gameplay.

    So every person choose what is more important for him, and eventhough in the second third of the game I was just waiting when it would have finished, I still liked the world of the game, they just should have done it shorter.    … Expand

    The last good assassin's creed I played was Black flag. Now Odyssey isn't totally bad, the world looks pretty and you can still be a silent killer in many situations. But then there's these other situations where you are forced to combat in limited space without stealth and that's just not fitting in my sense of assassin's creed. The pigs? Just no..

Aside from ship combat the game play overall is really good sadly the games writing can be pretty bad there's only like four or five well written plots in the whole game and one of them is the story with your dad "the wolf" but aside from that the writing is pretty bad from forcing you to have a kid with a character who i outright hated from the moment i saw him (DLC) to the stuff with your unlike able mother who only cares about herself and getting her home back (so glad she dies at the end) the writing overall is bad, what little good writing there is in the game is nowhere to be found in the main story… Expand

    Story-its ok.
    Even with its length didn’t really connect with characters.
    Graphics and atmosphere-nice and immersive experience Greece is beautiful/
    Gameplay-ok its not assassins creed.
    Game is too long.
    Overall an ok game worth playing with paying for xp boost which is a minus too.

    Oceniając tę grę na podstawie całej serii, powiem tyle, że nie spodobał mi się fakt, iż nie miała ona nic wspólnego z serią o Asasynach.

Przygodę możemy poprowadzić w zależności od naszego wyboru, Alexiosem, bądź jego siostrą Kassandrą, co jest miłą odmianą, ponieważ w większości serii twórcy zmuszali nas do rozgrywki z góry narzuconym bohaterem. Mapa Grecji, prócz tego, że jest olbrzymia, to ma na prawdę przepiękne widoki. Pochwalić na pewno można także architekturę, która też stoi na wysokim poziomie. Ciekawą odmianą były bossy znane z mitologii, z którymi przyszło nam walczyć.

    I played a crap ton of black flag so once I got gamepass I tried this game. I hate the new combat rpg style it sucks it doesn't take 300 stabs to kill someone. The story is long and dragged out. The only good thing for this game is the Graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the record, I have around 100hrs, and not finished with main quest, but have to write review for reasons below. First off - the good things, the game starts off great - reliving the battle of 300, then getting abandoned by Sparta and starting anew as mercenary aka misthios. After getting out of starting island Kephallonia, there is a lot - and I mean A LOT to explore, and most of it for me felt different enough to keep me going. The 'world and characters' side quests are also very varied and many of them have choices that make you pick lesser evil, which is great. Main quest is also very good so far, trying to reunite your family and reclaim your place in Sparta. As for crafting/upgrade mechanisms and resource availability, for me it was Ok, as the amount of resources you get scale with your level, there is no need to buy anything from in-game shop. Graphics are very good, so is combat, for me it felt very dynamic, sometimes punishing, but overall very fun. The mercenary ranking system isn't bad.
    Now for the bad things - the minor ones. The enigma ostrakas - if you want to complete them, some are really easy to find, some are tough but all the more rewarding, but some of them outright misleading - as perfect example is 'goat's gruff' - so much so, that after you give up searching the only place that fits at least to some extent the vague description on the ostraka, and you'll google the exact location, you will want to beat whoever wrote it with two stupid sticks while kicking him in the nuts.
    Somewhat worse for me were some quests where you had to guess where to find next objective - one especially bad was quest for killing Drakon, where there game literally says 'his camp is somewhere in Boeotia' - wow, just wow.
    The absolutely positively worst thing so far was hunting cultists. Let's say you get this one legendary set item, and you tell yourself 'now I want the whole set, and ASAP, because it's game changing for my playstyle'. Ok, you start to get clues - as example there is this cultist in Attika that owns quarry, the clue says - ok, I'll go to quarry and kill him, he will be there. Except nope, he won't be there, unless you do like 5 side quests in Attika, that doesn't even remotely hint that the cultist will be uncovered in the end. Why not at least include hint about the person that gives the side quests into the clue? Another example is cultist on obsidian islands - clue says 'weaking the islands will draw him into naval battle'. Again, this is misleading, if you weaken the islands, you can sail around them 10 times and you will not find the cultist. You have to google again to find out you need to speak to general for conquest battles to uncover him - again nothing about this in the clue. If this was some optional stuff, I would understand, but finding and killing cultists is very much bread and butter of this game, so this is very much an issue for me, because it can literally take hours of gameplay without any progression. Given the scope of the game, you really want to progress as much as possible, to see it all.

    Still, if we talk about the good aspects of the game, this is an impressive job done by the Ubisoft design department. They seem to have the most talented and passionate people working there.
    The locations are large and impressive. It's pure pleasure to observe territories of Ancient Greece, recreated with enthusiasm and in such details.

    The main problem is that these territories are filled with an endless number of terribly monotonous activities.

    Almost all side missions consist of someone ask to save his wife/sister/father/horse or kill an evil ruler/commander/bandit or steal a vital document/herbs/weapon.
    So, you are heading to one of the hundreds of pretty much the same camps/fortresses/caves scattered around the world, clear this location and return to the "employee" to hear a couple of lines of dialogue and get some experience and money.

    The main quest has become quite personal and is tied to the family and its restoration. The idea is commendable, but all the key events essentially can be retold in a few sentences, and everything else (and this is about 40–50 hours) is all the same tasks for clearing outposts and participation in sea and land battles from time to time.

    Still, the combat system and leveling up are interesting enough to keep attention to the game for a long time, but because of its excessive length, eventually you'll just start to want to finally finish it and put an end to this story quicker.

    In addition to this, many things seem to have been designed deliberately in order to delay the completion of the game for as long as possible.
    For example, an incredibly small number of fast travel points. For a huge island or region, this can literally be 2–3 points. Opening them is a separate waste of time, plus, even when they are open, the quests are almost always in the middle between them or far away, so you almost always need to spend time anyway to get to the point of interest from them.

    For example, in Horizon, the number of fires is quite large in relation to the world, so if you travel around some region once, you can quickly and efficiently move through it always.

    In general, I would like to give this game a higher score, but considering how terribly tedious the last dozen hours turned out to be and how few memorable stories, dialogues, events were in it as a whole and in proportion to the time spent in particular, we have what we have.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to love this game,but,overall,all of its elements made it too hard to actually love it.I have been playing games in the franchise ever since the original,and the evolution from that to this is gigantic.On the surface,it is the same with its predecessor,AC Origins,but it changes something important: The grind.I would not mind so much that it takes hours over hours to get to level 50 fore example,if not for the purchaseable XP boosters.Such things should not exist in full-priced 3A games.Never.The missions required to level up are repetitive too. Let's talk about the setting:Ancient Greece.The graphics which turn this place to life are amazing,and still hold up very well to this day.The map is very big,and filled with places to steal your gaze.As for the marine environment,it could have done much better,like AC4 or even Rogue.It does not.Activities at sea are limited.Ship combat feels as if it is not fresh,it is very similar to other ship combat styles in their games.The fighting system between Athens and Sparta is alright,but gets repetitive.The mercenary system is a welcome addition,reminds me of AC Rogue in some way.
    Combat is very similar to Origins combat,and it feels repetitive very soon. Storywise,it is not bad.It all blends with the already customary historical characters and the Cult system,which are great for supporting the story.Although the story is alright,it lacks a true narrative,most dialogues are easily skippable. To me,it is not a full price worth it game,but can be bough on sale and had fun playing it    … Expand

The secondary missions were repetitive and frankly quite boring. The modern day storyline only serves to interrupt the game play, which already leaves much to be desired. The parkour is basic and the way in which you upgrade weapons and gear even more so.

    The 2nd worst "Assassin's creed" game after Valhalla which is probably the worst imo. But the reason I'm giving it a 7 is cuz Ancient Greece is frickin beautiful.

    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]
