    Only redeeming quality's are that it's sometimes funny and it's very big so if you don't get into the horrendous combat you can get pretty immersed in the big lush open world which usually looks fine but compared to some other open world games it's really not that good but for ubisoft standards it's ok. People who say the game is an 8/10 are blind and like the taste of sand.

    The game is the better in the rpg trilogy. Combat is actually fun, skills are good. Stealth does not work, you can't play in stealth, AT ALL. You will try to stealth assassin some random enemy, just for it to stay alive because you dont have enough damage. This is ridiculous imo. The game also is super long, way more than it should be, this happens because every major quest has a gap of 4The game is the better in the rpg trilogy. Combat is actually fun, skills are good.

    it could have been alright if not for the overly huge map and **** of the main story. Why go to ancient Greece if you could have chosen something more exciting in terms of AC lore, like Ancient Rome or medieval China? I liked their Socrates though. It is obvious they've done their homework here at least.

    Это игра уровня "пойдёт"
    Но отдельно от франшизы Ассасинов,
    Сыграл 170 часов и не жалею, но в целом такое себе
    Кривая
    Не реалистичная
    Но красивая

    Das Spiel hat viel Spass gemacht. Objektiev gesehen war es aber nichts besonderes.

    Say what you will. For me this game got me into RPGs, if it wasn’t for this game I would’ve never tried Dragon Age Inquisition. A game that further let me dive into the genre. I have to give credit where credit is due. I would’ve missed out on Mass Effect 1 and 2. And that’s not ok.

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

    It is definitely not a bad game, but falls short compared to other RPG games. Although I understand the decision by Ubisoft to change the formula of the Assassins Creed games, I don't particularly like it.

    The world is beautiful and the graphics amazing, but apart from that everything else is mediocre, the story doesn't captivate me in the same way previous Assassins Creed games have,    It is definitely not a bad game, but falls short compared to other RPG games.

    The world is beautiful and the graphics amazing, but apart from that everything else is mediocre, the story doesn't captivate me in the same way previous Assassins Creed games have, the fact that the protagonist now has god like abilities and can pretty much end an entire army by himself takes me out of the whole experience and defeats the purpose of being an assassin. 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.

    It is an okay game, which seems worse due to the expectations I carry for Ubisoft.    … Expand

    Should this have the assassin's creed name attached to it ? No.

    But it is a decent RPG with a beautiful open world to explore.

    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.
    Soo yea, a 6 from me.    … Expand

    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.

    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. Twórcy chyba zrezygnowali z łączeniem tego uniwersum w pewnym stopniu (a przynajmniej tylko w animusie). Mimo to, jest to dobra produkcja o mitologii greckiej.

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. Spędziłem w tej grze setki godzin, lecz nie powiedziałbym, że była to najlepsza gra w jaką grałem, jest spoko, ale nie stawiałbym jej obok całej serii.… 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.

    The main issue lies in that it doesn’t fit the mold of an Assassin’s Creed game that long-time fans love. The RPG gameplay feels forced and inorganic, along with the ways it affects the story.

    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.

    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]
