    Mit dem nunmehr bereits elften Teil ihres Langzeit Franchises legt Ubisoft mit Assassin's Creed Odyssey, trotz seiner recht kurzen Entwicklungszeit, ihr bisher ambitioniertestes Abenteuer vor. Ambitioniert bezieht sich hier zum einen auf die Größe der Open World, die man einfach als irrwitzig bezeichnen muss, zum anderen auf die Masse an Content, der einem geboten wird.

    Alleine um die Hauptmissionen abzuschließen, muss man mit einer Spielzeit von etwa 60 Stunden rechnen. Will man alle Nebenquest mitnehmen, kann es gerne auch einmal die doppelte Spielzeit werden. Wenngleich der gebotene Content zwar nicht die Qualität eines The Witcher III oder Horizon Zero Dawn erreicht, hat sich Ubisoft dennoch deutlich bemüht ein gutes, motivierendes Niveau zu bieten. Schwächelte der Vorgänger "Origin" noch an seinen meist sehr repetitiven Nebenaufgaben, kann ein Odyssey mit seinen nun wesentlich storylastigeren Missionen schon deutlich besser bei Laune halten.

    Die Kämpfe in Odyssey fühlen sich allerdings immer noch etwas rudimentär und holzig an. Den Flow eines Horizon oder God of War erreicht man hier nicht ansatzweise. Gut gelungen hingegen ist die Schleichmechanik. Auch hier erfindet Ubisoft sich nicht neu, dass Ganze spielt sich weiterhin recht gewohnt und zugegeben simpel - das Anschleichen durch Büsche, das Anlocken von Gegnern und ein heimliches Ausschalten von Hinten mit Assassins Creed typischen Instant Kill Animationen macht aber ungemein Laune, sorgt für Spannung und ermöglicht auch ein taktisches Vorgehen, dass immer wieder motiviert.

    Schön ist auch, dass die Storyentwicklung des Spiels deutlich freier und komplexer gestaltet wurde als man dies von Ubisoft Spielen bisher kennt. So können wir in Odyssey vor allem auch Einfluss auf die Hintergrundgeschichte, den Krieg zwischen Sparta und Athen, nehmen, beispielsweise indem wir uns stärker auf eine Seite der Auseinandersetzung schlagen, oder wichtige Figuren der Geschichte hinterrücks einfach abmeucheln. Auch das neue Dialogsystem trägt seinen Teil dazu bei, dass sich Odyssey hinsichtlich seiner Storyentwicklung organischer anfühlt.

    Dass die Hauptgeschichte eher etwas eindimensional daher kommt, stört aufgrund des tollen Settings, in welcher sie eingebettet wurde, so auch weniger. Eher störend ist allerdings die arg stereotype Ausgestaltung des Protagonisten, der leider oft als reine Karikatur rüberkommt, vor allem wenn man die englische Sprachausgabe zuschaltet. Kassandra als alternativer weiblicher Charakter macht es da etwas besser, da hier zumindest die Genderstereotype etwas gebrochen werden, das Machogehabe bleibt aber dasselbe. Hier muss letztlich jeder Spieler für sich selbst schauen, ob er mit den Charakteren etwas anfangen oder das Spiel wegen zu viel Fremdschämerei nicht wirklich genießen kann.

    Ein weiteres Problem von Odyssey ist, dass das Game ohne ausuferndes Grinding nur spielbar ist, wenn man via Mikrotransaktion Erfahrungspunkte einkauft. Der Casual Gamer, der hauptsächlich der Main Story folgen will, wird so gezwungen zusätzliches Geld in die Hand zu nehmen, was nicht nur unfair ist, sondern sich eben auch blöd anfühlt. Dem Hardcoregamer, der sowieso mehr Zeit in das Spiel steckt und ein Gro der Sidequests mitnehmen wird, fällt das Grinding vermutlich deutlich weniger auf. Tatsache ist aber, dass man bei Assassins Creed Odyssey extrem schnell unterlevelt ist. Sind Gegner nur ein, zwei Level über euch, hat man bereits kaum mehr eine Chance. Das wirkt nach Absicht und zeigt, dass es Ubisoft hier wieder nur ums Kohle machen geht. Zudem verhindert es eine positives Feedback hinsichtlich der eigenen Progression. Man hat zu keinem Zeitpunkt des Spiels das Gefühl stärker zu werden, da die Gegner automatisch mitleveln, und die Herausforderung so eigentlich immer die gleiche bleibt. Auch hier muss jeder selbst für sich ausprobieren, ob einem diese Spielmechanik über die lange Spielzeit wirklich motiviert.

    Belohnt wird man bei Odyssey letztlich durch eine der lebendigste und schönsten Spielewelten dieser Konsolengeneration. Auch technisch läuft Odyssey, gar auf der Standard PS4, ungemein flüssig und wunderschön anzuschauen und ist neben PS4 Exklusivtiteln wie God of War oder Horizon Zero Dawn überraschenderweise einer der am besten an die mittlerweile nicht mehr ganz taufrische Hardware angepassten Titel geworden.

Great looking game, Kassandra was a good character. although the world was (admittedly) too big and the designers probably had not meant for it to be fully explored (as was the case with Witcher 3, in my opinion). If not, then, well, there is an excess of things to explore and find and I have little desire to 100% with the inclusion of such tedium. I did about 70% of the game's content (and all of the optional boss fights) and was very satisfied with the experience. Of course, YMMV, Expand

El diseño de niveles tiene algo que explorar una cueva o tener un combate en las minas sea intrigante e interesante. A pesar que es un mundo realmente inmenso no te sientes como en oblivionque que la mayoría de las mazmorras son casi de relleno incluso las de la historia principal.
    Luego la ambientación es fabulosa. Sin ser over the top uno si puede disfrutar de la experiencia de conversar con Sócrates o conocer a Pericles. Eso me lleva a hablar de las misiones. Son bastante divertidas. Aunque es un juego gigantesco si que respeta el tiempo de las jugadores. Las misiones tienen en general un propósito con sentido.. Tal vez su única crítica es que te obliga a variar. Hay varias ramas de progreso en la historia. Asi que si lo quieres jugar como un shooter va a ser una experiencia muy frustrante. Hay que hacer de todo un poco de esa manera el leveleo se da de forma bastante natural.. también se aplica al combate. Puedes asesinar combatir o disparar de lejos. De nuevo hacer un poco de todo te hace la vida más fácil. No es bueno para puristas. Pero hay que entender que si algo los griegos nunca fueron es puros.

    Love it or hate it--the action-rpg formula has replaced the stealth-focused action adventure model of earlier Assassin's Creed titles. Bearing that in mind, try to focus on what the game is trying to do rather than what it doesn't.

    Love it or hate it--the action-rpg formula has replaced the stealth-focused action adventure model of earlier Assassin's Creed titles. Bearing that in mind, try to focus on what the game is trying to do rather than what it doesn't.

    If anyone can manage to make the adventures of a Spartan-born mercenary through an ancient Greek world filled with war, political intrigue, and creatures both mundane and mythic feel tedious or contrived, it's Ubisoft. Developed primarily by Ubi Quebec (AC: Syndicate,) this follow-up prequel (?!) to Origins improves on a few aspects, yet fails to capture the depth of character and lore that was present in Aya and Bayek's journey through Ubi Montreal's version of ancient Egypt. Confused yet? Don't worry. As I said: It isn't that deep.

    The expanded systems presented here come at the cost of being mostly shallow and overwhelmingly omnipresent. Player choice and consequence is touted as a feature, but rarely strays beyond an aesthetic or small effect on the path to your goals beyond the core plotlines. (Speaking of binary choices, do yourself a favor and go with Kassandra over Alexios in your choice of sibling to play. While voiced well, I found that the thought of listening to a typical dudebro character for hundreds of hours threatened what remains of my tenuous grip on sanity, so I immediately restarted and went with the strong, yet soothing tones of Kass.)

    I hope that you like combat, because your character is more gladiator than assassin. The repetitive and nearly constant nature of the fights in ACO mean that you'll want to specialize early, then expand and experiment later. (Hint: focus on "warrior" first.) Note: shields have been removed from the player's arsenal, so practice your parrying and dodging. No turtle tactics here.

    Love loot management? Good--because outside of button-mashing battles, the inventory and blacksmith menus will be your primary residence for the rest of your journey. Seriously. The meta-game and stat-management makes most MMOs seem straightforward.

    The visuals are nice, but seem a bit over-saturated and uniform in comparison to Origins--in spite of that world's large percentage of desert areas. The seas and landscapes can make for fantastic vistas, but to a somewhat lesser degree than its predecessor. The overall resolution and level of detail outside of cutscenes have also taken a hit (based on PS4 Pro,) but it may be a different story on other platforms. As for the audio work: It does the job, but nothing truly stands out. There are multiple layers to the aural landscape, though they are noticeably compressed and sound flat as a result.

    Story... Honestly, I've spent so many hours on random tasks, hunting mythological beasts, and sidequests that I can barely keep track of what exactly I was trying to accomplish in the first place. Something about family, an evil cult, and a spear. Oh yeah--the Spear! ...and your sibling...and...and...you know what? It doesn't matter. You have a quest log that's ten miles long and an inch deep. Enjoy the tales and drama as one would with any popcorn flick or TV series. Just don't take it too seriously.

    My advice? Play like a mercenary: Take frequent breaks, stop to enjoy the scenery, get into trouble, and you'll likely avoid burnout and probably have as much shallow fun as I have managed to squeeze out of the game. (Valhalla is 1.5 years old as I write this, so if Vikings and Norse mythology are more your speed--skip Odyssey and go berserk on that one. The whole Assassins vs. Templars thread has totally unraveled and been delegated to background material at this point, so choose your favorite flavor.)

If you want to play one of these modern AC games go with either Origins or Valhalla, but Valhalla is best out of these three new ones. Most people who like Odyssey, never liked actual AC games, most of them even hate Black Flag and Unity, so their opinion on this series doesn't really matter. Expand

    b) The graphics are spectacular (especially the light effects, the sea, etc...)

    a) The story is engaging and well presented
    b) The graphics are spectacular (especially the light effects, the sea, etc...)
    c) There is a lot of content and there is important depth in the open world
    d) The naval battles are back (for those who miss Black Flag :))
    e) The gameplay is fun most of the time

    There are some reasons why I think the reviews are around 6,5/10 and from my understanding, I see that a lot of players put 0/10 because of the microtransactions, the leveling system or the fact it doesn't seem as a traditional AC game.

    However, the truth is that the microtransactions are not at all mandatory. We must consider side quests as main quests here...In fact, side quests give us reasons to explore the world, discover new areas, etc...

    In my 86 hours playthrough, I've never been underleveled and I finished the main story at level 49. I plan to continue until level 52 or so (still want to complete a few quests...). Here are a few recommendations to enjoy your playthrough:

    1. You need to explore the world and do side quests.
    2 Don't do the random generated quests on boards or the time limited ones. There are enough quests with the yellow mark to level up appropriately
    3. Play on normal difficulty. I would consider possibly hard for rpg fans but avoid at all cost Nighmare because enemies are really really spungy
    4. If you have an assassin build, try to be 1 or 2 levels above your enemies. I t will help you to play more stealthy. If you have the same level or if you're a bit underleveled, the risk is that you won't eliminate totally your target with a stealth attack
    5. Don't play this game right after Origins, The Witcher 3 or Zelda breath of the Wild. It's a little bit too similar, so you will best enjoy this game after completing other type of games (I played Concrete Genie, Bioshock Infinite, Bloodborne and Yakuza 3 before AC Odyssey)

    Such a long, endless and boring game. The combat is pretty mediocre and silly. Definitely worse than Origins by plenty. The best it has going for it are the visuals, aesthetic and ambience, which are great.

    An excellent game, good mechanics, excellent soundtrack, Kassandra's story is very good, interconnecting Origins and Valhalla, together with the present time, I could feel that something very interesting is coming in the future assassin's creed.

Thanks to the PS5 patch the overall visual fidelity was greatly enhanced and 60 fps gameplay is just a pleasure. This open world action rpg shouldn’t missed by anyone.

    Hint for new players: I strongly recommend to play as Kassandra.

    So, I was a big fan of the Ezio trilogy back in the day and actually played through Altair’s story only after I’d finished the sequel.

People seem to recommend it based on its RPGSo, I was a big fan of the Ezio trilogy back in the day and actually played through Altair’s story only after I’d finished the sequel. I did give Black Flag a chance on the PS3 but it didn’t stick with me for some reason, and since then I haven’t touched an Assassin’s Creed game until now, after hearing a lot of good stuff about Odyssey. People seem to recommend it based on its RPG elements, as well as its beautifully crafted world and countless hours of playtime.

    I believe I’m somewhere midway through the story, I haven’t been prompted to visit all islands yet and I tend to let the story tell me where to go, and I’ve probably spent 80 hours or so playing. There is A LOT of content and optional side quests and I’ve only recently begun to focus mainly on the story because for a while I almost burnt myself out doing quests that (originally unbeknownst to me) get refreshed continually. My OCD prevents me from leaving ?-marks untouched on the map and I guess I’ll just have to live with the fact that there are markers for optional quests cluttering my map, and those markers will just never go away.

    If you play this game, you will do yourself a big favor by ignoring the timeglass quests which don’t serve any purpose besides padding your XP. They don’t make any sense either and they’re all the same: ”Bandits come here and destroy our crops, please help, we only want peace” (spoken by a peaceful looking old woman), ”Oh, so you want me to gut all the bandits?” ”Yes,” the peaceful lady goes, ”all of them must DIE.” and you just sit there wondering what’s going on. Anyway.

    I do have a problem with this sort of wide-open narrative because it feels disjointed and I sometimes wish I could just do the main story and be happy but at the same time I feel the urge to explore everything the world has to offer. The world is beautifully crafted but can feel quite hollow since a lot of the quests are the same and the world just feels like a static scenery that you run back and forth through.

    I enjoy the RPG elements and the ability to upgrade weapons and change their appearance is great, because if you find a weapon that has good perks you can always upgrade its overall damage, making them accurate for your level. I hated finding weapons with great stats in The Witcher 3 only for them to be quite useless after I’d gained two levels or so. Also, you can change the appearance of your gear so you won’t have to deal with a dramatic climax being ruined because your character is dressed in a tuxedo with combat boots, a beenie and black/golden Elvis glasses (looking at you, CP2077 - it actually had me laughing through the climactic ending because, well, it’s just impossible to take someone serious when they look like they’ve literally fallen unconscious and gotten dressed up by 3-year olds at a flee market). Anyway.

    I don’t really have anything bad to say about the graphics and animation - overall it looks great in my opinion, and it plays great and feels fluid like it should. It’s not GoW, but it’s what I’d expect from an Assassin’s Creed game. The combat does become a bit repetitive and after a while fights become too easy, but luckily there are mercenaries with certain abilities/perks who might still present a challenge.

    Kassandra is a likeable character and I really like her voice-acting. The supporting cast is mostly just good but nothing stellar apart from a few exceptions. Being a history buff with an interest in ancient Greek philosophy helps to make the story interesting.

    Like others have said, it feels more like a ”spartan warrior”-story than a ”templar vs assassin”-story, but the precursors of the templars and assassins are still there waiting to be uncovered. I would’ve liked a larger focus on modern day/animus and the whole conspiracy-aspect of AC though.

    Microtransactions are there, yes, but they can easily be ignored.

    Great music. Quite interesting character arc/development, Kassandra is likeable, the world is huge but ultimately feels quite hollow (though beautiful)…

    At this point though I sort of just want to get on with the story. The game is like watching a 5-hour movie, you can’t help but feel like it would’ve been better if it was a bit more densely packed and effective in its execution. The grand scale instead, at least to me, lessens the impact that I believe the story could have had had it been shorter/denser.

I was enjoying the game quite a bit, until about half way through when i was slapped with grinding out of nowhere. This was after i did quite of bit of the side content i was interested in. I was a couple of levels ahead of the main storyline when all of a sudden the story missions jumped to being three levels above me. I reiterate side missions should never be mandatory and the grind was even worse then in the previous game. I thought it wouldn't be a problem since the exp increased as you moved through the game. I will say that the side missions in this game are at least more interesting then in origins(still not on the level of Witcher 3) but still they should not be mandatory. And despite what some other reviews say on here, it is a ploy for a microtransaction and the game is grindy as hell.
    Story wise the setting, world and, characters are pretty good and enjoyable but the last sections of the main story fall flat and don't really go anywhere. For a more conclusive story you have to one hundred percent the game. Which is weird. The modern aspects of the story seem to have a point(and a returning main character) but it still feels like they are spreading it out because they don't know what to do with the modern storyline. Overall it was a game i was thoroughly enjoying but then ended up leaving me with a disappointed feeling.
    In this user review section you seem to have two extremes, people absolutely bashing the game or absolutely praising the game. I always try to be fair and I play a lot of games. this one is somewhere in the middle.

The PS5 60fps means it runs smooth as butter and this vastly improves the visual experience and especially the combat, and I had major issues with these 2 aspects back in 2018. TW3’s magic was in the quality of its side quests. How I went through some amazing stories because I sought them out. Odyssey is the same in this regard. While the main story is in fact good, some of the best quest chains and boss fights are in the optional content. I followed my curiosity and sought these stories out. By the end I was the top ranked mercenary, champion of the arena and I had wiped out the entire cult, and I finally completed the “sci-fi” quest chain too. All these things I did because I wanted to. I’m just 70 hours I feel I lived through a life in Ancient Greece. I was completely lost there during the holidays. I’m so glad I played this game and so many people judge it for not being something it’s clearly not intending to do. Sometimes it’s good to let the past die because old AC had run its course. Not all AC have to be like Odyssey but I’m so glad Odyssey itself exists Expand

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey shifts even more further back in the history, even when there was no Assassin's Brotherhood, so this is not a real AC game after all. So this time we are in the Ancient Greece, in the time of the Minotaur, Cyclops, and many known characters like Sokrates, Hippokrates, Perikles,... The story of a Spartan family and the Greek world being destroyed or manipulated byAssassin's Creed Odyssey shifts even more further back in the history, even when there was no Assassin's Brotherhood, so this is not a real AC game after all. So this time we are in the Ancient Greece, in the time of the Minotaur, Cyclops, and many known characters like Sokrates, Hippokrates, Perikles,... The story of a Spartan family and the Greek world being destroyed or manipulated by the Cult is brilliant and well-made. In every part of Greece there are different quests and challenges, land to conquer or plunder, either being a Spartan or Athenian. After some time side-quests become too repetitive and you will propably try to skip them. Well, after at least half of the game, everything starts to feel repetitive, in every location, always same activities, but if you are a completionist like me, you will probably spend another few hours trying to finish every location activity. Aside the quest being repetitive, the world of Greece is amazing, so beautiful, many historical locations and different cities.
    Talking about rpg elements, the skill tree is well detailed and gives you many options, stealth assassination not the best but acceptable. Main character movement not the realistic one, falling from a cliff and you don't die, weird running animation and not many parkour animations.

    All in all I enjoyed playing this game and it took me more than 100 hours to finish it, but it was worth the time.

    The development of the story is more than predictable. I´ll split whole campaign into two parts. First part is trying to bring your family back together. Well, kinda cliché, but ok. At least its not complete bull**it at all. And during your journey, or better to say odyssey, you make few decisions that will affect the end of the game. Second part of whole story is killing all cultists, one by one. What actually pissed me off is absence of cutscenes after killing each cultists. At least short dialogue would be nice. You just kill them and what... nothing. Leader is pretty obvious whole second half of the game, so no plottwist or something like this.

    There very few naval missions, so you dont have to spend so much time on your boat. Honestly you can avoid most of the naval combat.

    In the end i rate this game 7/10. I have plat trophy from this game, but this time i am not proud about it.... this game could be much better.
    However ancient Greek world is beautiful, so at least something good.

    I like it so much more than empty and shallow Valhalla with bad story, no choises, and boring visuals.

    I can understand why many people who are the long time fan of AC don't like this game. Yes! It is completely different from previous AC , but if you are big fan of RPG like Witcher 3 or Skyrim you going to like this game.

    If the map had been much smaller, the story much shorter, and the quests much fewer, the game would have been much better to experience and enjoy. However, the fact that they explicitly and shamelessly sold "time-savers" for this suggests that the main concern wasn't making the best possible game, but the most profitable one.

    I'm a fan so I can't take a real partisan vote. I am too biased in judgment. However, for the moment there has been a qualitative leap from Origins, a return to being research wanted it is a good return to the origin. A game that I still can't stop playing. I sincerely miss Altair .. but I am satisfied with the experience

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Better than Origins that came with a very linear constructed story, tied to the game progression mechanics.

    Still totally bloated though with bad, boring content to turn a 25 hour game into a 140 hour game in order to give the player more time to pay for microtransactions. It’s an exhausting experience.

    First things first, "Odyssey" plays a lot like "Origins". It has more RPG elements, less stealth and brings back naval combat.

Greek mythological figures such as Medusa also eventually appear. Unfortunately, the side-missions are mainly fetch quests. Combat mechanics and the Mercenary system recalls Shadow of Mordor more than Assassin's Creed. Fans of "Origins" will certainly love this. But if you didn't like that Egypt-set adventure, then you'll probably skip this one. The franchise has become a "Witcher"-like action game for better or worse. I would rate "Odyssey" with an 8.3 out of 10. Expand

    A better combat system than the previous one. An interesting mythological story. It was a lot of fun to travel to ancient Greece. It was also good to have various endings.
    But the DLC was disappointing.

    I really like the new RPG path ubisoft is taking with AC. The world is astoundingly beautiful. You can really see they put a lot of effort in that. Combat is missing something. It tires to be a skill based dodge-parry combat system, but it ends up being repetitive. Conquest battles have absolutely no impact and are just a waste of time. Parkour is terribly bad and almost nonexistent.I really like the new RPG path ubisoft is taking with AC. The world is astoundingly beautiful. You can really see they put a lot of effort in that. Combat is missing something. It tires to be a skill based dodge-parry combat system, but it ends up being repetitive. Conquest battles have absolutely no impact and are just a waste of time. Parkour is terribly bad and almost nonexistent. Instead of parkour we got "climbing". Micro-transactions shouldn't even by in a single-player game, but you can skip them by doing side quests which can be fun and full of interesting stories. On the other hand some are very one dimensional. Another thing is that facial expressions have been the worst I have ever seen in an assassin's creed game. They are horrible and sometimes even funny.

    Kassandra/Alexios has such an interesting backstory. It starts extremely good and continues that way up until the end. Deimos just goes from good to bad just like that. They didn't even try to make him redeem himself. He just goes from a bloodthirsty demigod to a family oriented person out of nowhere. Choices they present to us are not working very well. They just mess up the main character. One time he is a mercenary, then he is a Spartan, then Athenian, one time he is a merciless killer and next time he cares about everyone. The main character just loses any identity it has. I also think they made a mistake having three different endings, because it feels very fragmented.

    Overall it is not a bad game. I really liked it, but it has way too many flaws. Also the game is very long, so I wouldn't recommend playing DLCs and main story in one go. I just got frustrated and tried to finish the game ASAP, because with DLCs it took me like 80 hours to finish.

    This game is the best of the 3 modern AC games. The story is fantastic, the characters are interesting and have actual motivation unlike the awful Origins, combat is great, it's an all around great game. Unless you liked Origins you will love this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game itself is brilliant. The map is huge that you can play the game forever. I have been playing assassin's creed since assassin's creed 2 but have stopped midway through because of the modern day plot.

    Everyone will agree that the modern day plot was interesting probably up to when Desmonds dies. But after it, I just thought Ubisoft can just focus on the game itself and just give up on the modern day plot. Yes, it is cool to see scifi design and stuff but it just does not fit into the plot at all. It is annoying to follow and the modern day plot is meaningless and waste of time. In this game, whenever there are scenes with Layla, I tend to just skip all of them. Just scrap the modern day plot, it is really annoying and pointless in reading it. FOCUS ON THE CHARACTER not the MODERN DAY PLOT! GET RID OF IT!

    If I have to compare, I would prefer the ghost of Tsushima more because the story is focus on the character and it is more appealing without all those weird artefact and modern day story. If ghost of tsushima character is controlled by a dude in the modern day era, I am 100% sure the game would not be a hit.

    It's a shame that assassin's creed series could not make it to the game of the year, not even must play in metacritics just because of the modern day plot (in my opinion). Maybe Ubisoft should try and make an AC game without the modern day plot and see how gamers react to it.

    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]
