    This is a game that takes away the usually design type of AC games and allows you to tackle any quest the way you feel. It may not feel like an AC game, but your combat style can change that. You can become the Assassin you want to be rather than what the story makes it. Side quest are great and combat is finally challenging. Overall this game deserves attention and its mark in the series!

    The added story branching option and the diolog option is a great addition to the Assassin’s Creed Francise since this could make me as player be more involve in the story and the character. Some player might find the giant open world is a not so fitting setting to set an Assassin’s Creed story since it can make the player to be seperated from the story from the sheer ammount of time that the world exploration will take to do. The RPG element is good since it is develop together with AC: Origins. The multiple ending is also a good addition because it make the choice that the player have to be more important than normal story branching element.

    The reason i did not give this game a full 10/10 is because althought the modern day story line is connected to the Assassin's Creed Lore the actual animus part of story element althought interesting it is not connected enough even if the is some connection to the Assassin's Creed Lore as a whole.

    Overall the experience of playing this new type of Assassin’s Creed is depend on each player but since i’m a fan of both exploration and Assassin’s Creed francise in general so i can make a good judgment that this game is very good for those who already love the Assassin’s Creed Francise and for those who love exploration and branching story element.

    Since this is not a true RPG some RPG player might not like it so much and for those who like linear story line more this game also might not be for you.    … Expand

    More of an open world RPG than an AC game of old and that's fine. A great game in its own right and who could believe and old meme like that Spartan kick could be so fun

    I've played about 25 hours so-far and never really felt like I was being hindered by the lack of EXP/Drachme boosts, maybe that will feel worse later but we'll see. So-far though the microtransactions feel completely optional.

    In Origins I felt like the RPG mechanics were really hamfisted, I didn't like them at all. However in Odyssey they've really refined them to make them feel like a more natural part of the game. The eagle-bearer may well be one of the best written protagonists since Ezio, Kassandra especially is just exceptionally well written. She doesn't fall into any of the tropes that make a female protagonist feel forced, she feels completely human.

    The choice system they put in doesn't seem frivolous either, there's one section early in the game that seems inconspicuous but can end up having a big effect on an an entire town. The game is **** chok full of little bits of detail as well, things you probably wouldn't even think of. IE the allies of the people you kill in the streets or whatever can be seen disposing of the dead, a town that can get sick because of your actions goes from healthy to morbidly sick, fatigued and vomiting to dead. It's great.

    My only issue is that it doesn't feel like it has much connection to the franchise as a whole, but the game is honestly so much fun I don't really care.

    So the only issues I really have is the abundance of microtransactions and the lack of a real connection to the franchise as a whole outside of the meta-story. Other than that, the game is fantastic and frankly all these hyper negative reviews are over-exaggerating like hell.    … Expand

    The next thing I really love is the quite substantial combat difficulty/proficiency curve. At the start of the game, I died. And died. And died. And ran away and hid from rival mercenaries. The game forces you to get gud. And as you settle into the controls, level up, and unlock more special moves, you start kicking more and more ass. It feels way more substantial than older AC combat, and is way more engaging for it. And, dare I say, realistic. Like it really would be preferable to sneak stab everyone, and when you slip up and all the bad guys come running, there's a palpable sense of **** this is going to be hard work getting out of this."
    As for the story, I'm finding it fairly compelling so far, with some satisfying twists generating just enough intrigue to drive the whole thing forward. Plots and subplots tie in pretty well to some of the activities, and there's always something different to do.
    I mean I really can't ask for more in an AC game. I don't understand the low scores here, but Ubisoft should be proud that they now have a fanbase just as passionate as that other great fantasy franchise, Star Wars. With that comes the crowd that you will never please, because things can never be how they were. Time doesn't stand still, and for the majority of us, that's a huge relief. Fantastic effort, Ubisoft.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the latest instalment in the long Ubisoft's flagship franshise and it's the biggest one yet, set in ancient greece it's an ambitious game that tries to improve on everything last year's Origins did, but can he do it?
    Odyssey it's an full on Action-RPG with hundreds of weapons and armor pieces to equip and costumize your character with, you level up by doing pretty much anything in the game, from side quests to locations scatered around the map and obviously the main story, combat is very similar to Origins but this time you have different combat skills you can equip to give you an edge during combat, i've never had a problem with the level gaps that everyone seems to complain about, and I never felt like I was forced to level up to progress the story, just casually playing through doing main and side content as I pleased felt rewarding, challenging on some parts, but never unfair.
    The story is one of the best in the series, and despite the game being set before Assassin's or Templars wore even a thing "it's set more than 300 year's before Origins" it's since Black Flag, the game that takes it's role in the series more seriously, and is very important to the overall arc of the story.
    The main issue lies with Odysseys biggest selling point, this game is BIG, really big, perhaps too big, and this growing trend of developers adding more and more stuff to their games without much care for the quality of the overall experience hurts the game more than it helps, it's a game that would benefit if it took out around 50 hours of it's content, don't get me wrong, there is a lot of amazing side quests to find, another improvemet from Origins, and does encourage exploration of it's massive world, but for all this improvements over Origins, the exaggerated amount of content keeps Odyssey from it's true potential.
    After 155 hours I finally did it all and seen it all in Odyssey, it's a massive and surprisingly polished game, that has your money's worth, don't go expeting the game to keep it's consistent high quality trough all of it's content, It's an extremely solid and fun RPG, that it's buried under too much pointless stuff, but it's ultimately an Odyssey that I'm happy I took    … Expand

    I am not a fan of playing as female characters in games, but I have fallen in love with Kassandra. I really like her as a character. The combat is great as well and very fun, far better than it is in RDR2! Ubisoft have really hit the nail on the head with this game. Barring the odd glitch, it is perfect.

    There is genuinely a lot of content and hours upon hours of gameplay built into the game. Easily the biggest game I have ever played. I have spent over 130 hours on Odyssey and I still have about 40% of the map left to explore, and I still haven't finished the main story/campaign yet either. I reckon it will take 200 hours to complete everything. There's just so much stuff. Tonnes of weapon, armour and customisations as well, so it is really, really in-depth.

    I don't see how people can complain about it taking ages to level up, as I have already hit level 50 and I still have loads of the game left to do. If anything I have levelled up too quickly. Ultimately it is because of the size of the game and the amount of content that it takes so long. Some people don't want to put in the hours and want a quick fix to complete the game and unlock everything.

    Either way, Ubisoft can't win - if the game is too small, or short, with little content, people will complain. When it is huge and packed with content and takes ages to complete, people still complain. I actually feel the need to defend Ubisoft here. At least we've been given that content and hours upon hours of gameplay. I would take that over a small game with hardly any content, every time. I guess there's no pleasing some people.

    Well done Ubisoft! Origins and Odyssey are both in my top 3 games of all time...    … Expand

When I had finished the game I even went back and did side missions just so I could see more of her. It is worth noting that Alexios is also an option but doesn't seem as well realised and lacks some of Kassandra's charm.

    The game took me around 65 hrs to complete the multiple story threads (Family, Cult, Mercenaries and Atlantis) and I reached max level just before taking on the last cult members. I did not use any boosters and the microtransactions did not encroach on my enjoyment of the game at all. If you are willing to do a few side missions and want to finish the story you will have no problem avoiding paying for any boosters or gear.

    Overall Odyssey is Origins in another setting and with a few new systems and improvements but It surprised me how much I ended up enjoying it.    … Expand

It's so expansive and you actually feel like a core part of the world. I'm far more tempted to explore and do all of the side activities than I have been for any of the other games in the franchise. Previously, the AC series has struggled to compel you to do anything other than the main story but no longer. You're having unique interactions with all NPCs, some have even heard of your legend already. There are a wide variety of unique activities such as conquests, naval battles, clearing forts, exploring ruins and caves, obtaining items from bodies that may seamlessly give you a clue about something else you can capitalise on for a reward (information such as bounty locations etc.) and an even wider variety of side quests.

    The nightmare mode is also a nice addition if a little grueling, sometimes. While the challenge encourages you to navigate situations in different, fun and interesting ways - perhaps drawing one ship away from its 'fleet' in order to sink it, lest you get bombarded by 3 ships: which you WILL lose (skill plays a part I guess, but you can't be a one-person army in this mode) - it's also quite frustrating to constantly be cycling your gear around and trading equipment that you like for a garbage but higher level (and therefore has a higher dps/defence stat) item. If you don't do this, you'll be at a severe disadvantage when it comes to combat because all enemies scale in their leveling with you. You can upgrade, but the only way you're going to be able to get the huge amount of resources and money in order to be able to upgrade the better gear is by doing activities which will demand that you engage in combat in some form. And with sub-par gear in nightmare mode, you're not going to come out on top. It just costs (in terms of money and resources) a little too much to maintain your gear's usefulness.

    But that's a small nitpick in an otherwise incredibly rewarding Assassin's Creed entry.    … Expand

    However Odyssey does it right. Nothing is needed to win the game, its just added for people who want a fast progress. Basicly a cheat-tool for hasty people. I never once came across a point of lacking ingredients to upgrade or build anything. So for those who seek a answer to the question: "Is it worth buying AC Odyssey?", let me make something clear. This is one of the greatest open world games out there atm. with a compelling story playing in ancient Greece. Its defenitely worth the money!

    And one more word to those finding it tedious to advance in the story:
    It seems youve never played a AC before.
    Yes Odyssey requires a lot more than the games before, but its also far greater and bigger and has so much more to show, what kind of player goes into an open world without swaying away into on or the other sidequest or dungeon?!

    No other game besides maybe skyrim gave me this much gameplay time and still felt natural and not too repetitive. Im currently at 70 Hours game time and still not finished.
    I can really recommend this game to anybody interested in open world games and astonishing story and game play.

    The only downside i found in this game was extremely long travel times. As the Map is this huge, it kinda is tedious to travel to places that dont have a quicktravel option. And the other one is orichalcum being super rare and the mission kinda bad for it, and unlike Origins you cant use your endgame money you dont need anymore to buy the chests that give you purple or legendary items.    … Expand

I personally love just picking a direction once the game loads and taking on any challenges I come across as I run, so this game rewards that kind of play in spades, as they have any number of locations such as forts, camps, ruins, and even the mansions of a country's leader that you can come across.

    The combat is extremely fun with the abilities you unlock as you level up. You can assign up to 8 melee and 4 ranged into your hot bars and use them as you build up adrenaline through combat. You can taylor your character to suit your play style via 3 different styles of combat be it ranged/bows, melee weapons from quick daggers to slower swords or spears to heavy maces and axes, or you can go stealthy and play as the original Assassin archetype. The abilities are augmented by weapons and armors that you can pick up throughout the game that have stats that help boost various combat stats.

    Character progression is cool at the surface, but it still feels a bit limited in the actual depth that you can advance. The mastery option they patched in later definitely adds some depth to it, but I'd like to see them split out from just 3 trees and maybe have a tree for each weapon type.

    The story overall is good. It's not great, but it definitely is good enough to keep you engaged as you travel across Ancient Greece. The voice acting is pretty good in the main story bits, but on the random quests that are just there for extra experience as you take out locations, it's pretty mundane.

    Many of the regions also have their own quest line that tells its own self contained story, and i think that is great. In fact I wish more open world games would give up trying to tell one giant narrative and focus on doing this approach.

    However, one of the things that I think they struggle with, is the fact that they try to do TOO much at once in one game. Starting with the Story. There isn't just one main story line of quests, but 2 or 3 going on at once.

    You also are dealing with 3 primary game play systems as well. You have the normal "on the ground" game where you go and fight enemies/targets and gain the spoils of said victories to advance. Or you can hop on a ship and spend almost all of your time on there, fighting your target(s) of choice on the open waters and even advance and customize your ship as you go with the spoils of defeated enemy ships. Or you can go and pick a side in the conflict between the Athenians and Spartans and involve yourself in their large scale battles. The problem is, if you just want to focus on just one of those systems, you are sometimes forced to participate in other ones to advance the story, which you have to do as some abilities/unlocks only happen at certain points in the story.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite games of 2018. However, I do need to stress that I'm a huge fan of Open World games, so this is purely based on that. If you need a more focused experience, this game will actually have the opposite effect as they really do have an issue with staying focused to the point that even I wasn't head over heals about.    … Expand

But for some reason decided to skip out on odyssey, I had no rime or reason to not want to play it but for some reason, I just decided not too, but the Ubisoft sale was on PS4 and I got the gold edition for $40, and boy have I been missing out. I will list to you the pros of this game for me and then the cons.

    Pros- The game world is HUGE, absolutely **** massive, and the amount of things to do in it are ridiculously varied. Quests everywhere, Merc’s Hunting you down, forts to clear out and loot, cultists to identify and kill, naval battles to be had, conquest battles (which are like mini war zone areas) choosing to fight for Athens or Sparta, upgrading your spear, your ship, your armor and everything in between. Wacky side quests, romance, and everything in between that. The armor/weapon system in this game takes it the diablo way allowing you to transmogify any armor or weapon style that’s youve found before and boy is there ALOT of Styles you can mix and match. The new addition to add in “superpower”esk abilities is also great fun. The classic spartan kick that can send enemies FLYING and is ridiculously satisfying, summoning a ring of chaos that’s basically a whirlwind that sucks up and pushes enemies away from you. There are tons and tons of different skills to mix and match to fit your play style and you can have 8 equipped (12 if you count the archer abilities). The world is pretty god damn good looking it’s hard not to be impressed every time you synchronize a view point. Combat is fast and fluid and just challenging enough to keep you on your toes. Also each quest you do, almost anything you do will tell you what the rewards are for that specific mission/side mission/merc/cultist so you always know what you are getting. Naval battles are few and far apart but anytime you feel like you miss the high sea you can hunt down pirate ships, board them kill everyone and steal their treasure...or if you’re feeling merciful you can knock out almost any enemy in the game and hire them to be a lieutenant aboard your ship. Almost every time I do a mission I find something better than what I had before, you get a sense of always improving, always moving forward not once have I felt like I was stuck because of my gear or felt I was ill equipped, if you feel that way and some how DONT get any new gear from playing the game. Black smiths in the game will level up your weapons and armor to your current level so if you found a level 11 sword and find yourself at level 18 now and for some reason can’t find anything new and better. Head on over to a blacksmith to bring up your 213 damage sword to a 534 damage sword....for a few dracmae of course.

    Cons- the biggest complaint i have is the facial animations...rather just when they speak it can go from being ALRIGHT, to just god damn awful, I don’t know if Ubisoft heard of facial scan technology or not but I think it’s about time they invest in it. Another thing involving animation is the whole...weapons during a “kill cam” type situation where you execute someone or whatever is still kinda... ok, it really feels like your sword is going through a hollow enemy or something... it’s just not THAT satisfying. Don’t get me wrong it is better than what it used to be but if they Invested in some really solid decapitation style animations like the Witcher 3 did...this game would probably too 5 RPG games I’ve ever played. Moving on... for some strange reason if I get into a fight in a city or small village and I’m fighting guards or a merc, the citizens, the dogs the cows the cats and everything in between will also try and kill me for whatever reason? I’ve had a fight with a merc in a small town and the chicken across the road decided to jump in on the fight and try to kill me for whatever reason.

    Which brings me to my final point about all the fools complaining about microtrans, grow up. I have not spent a PENNY in the store and am getting along just fine. There are ALWAYS thing to do at your current level and all of them varied, you don’t need the XP booster or anything like that. If anything right now, Im a level or 2 OVER the recommended for the story missions. They don’t force you to buy anything. It is on the main menu of the game but unless you have the attention span of a squirrel or have the resolve of a heroin addict you can go through the game without opening that menu once. And either way all those items are obtainable IN GAME you don’t have to spend a penny to get the items you see in that store in the game. Of course they are more challenging to get but they made it fun by making you participate in daily and weekly quests.    … Expand

    I keep thinking why all Assassins Creed games dont have boats! I just got this game not because I did not want to play it mostly because I keep thinking that developers fix these types of games within the first 3 months. This game is HUUGGGGGGEEEEE and you dont have to do all of it.

    I would definitely recommend this game.

    I enjoyed the Hades out of this game, illustrated by the fact that I finally finished the main story arc after playing it for 120 hours (almost 40 hours longer than it took me to complete Origins).

    Odyssey is visually stunning and the transitions from city to sea to country to cave really helps immerse you in the world of Ancient Greece.

    The mechanics are familiar from Origins; they didn't try to re-invent the wheel here. It is more combat intensive, making it less "assassin-y" than any of its predecessors, but when you open the game fighting the Battle of Thermopylae as Leonidas, you quickly learn to look past that.

    The controls themselves can be a little muddy at times...and it seems especially in tight scrapes. You want to get some distance between yourself and, say, three bounty hunters, but instead of leaping over a fence, you just jump on top of it (yeah, that happened more than once).

    The story itself is well-plotted, and in the AC tradition, it cleverly involves several well-known historical figures into the narrative (Sokrates, Hippokrates, Perikles, Leonidas, and others). Your adventures pit you against Greek mythology's greatest monsters AND against a creepy secret society, and it's done in a satisfying (though overly long) way.

    I cannot emphasize enough the importance of choosing Kassandra as your hero at the beginning. The game's cover, etc, seems to point to Alexios as the player you're supposed to be, but no. While it doesn't actually matter (more on that in a moment), Melissanthi Mahut's voice work for Kassandra is immeasurably better and nuanced than Michael Antonakos's WAAAAY over-acted Alexios. The modern-day story component is almost useless anymore, and I think Ubisoft realizes it made a huge mistake with how they handled the Desmond storyline at the end of "AC III." But, you have to have an animus, so Layla Hassan returns to climb a couple of walls and check a few e-mails.

    It's very easy to stop playing the main narrative and get lost in side quests (I love side-questing). I had nearly reached level 45 when I realized that I had a ton more of the actual STORY to play. It was at that moment where I realized that you can side quest forever in this game. There is no "cleaning up." There will always be more.

    That's where I'll gripe a bit about the game. It IS too long. It's certainly a full world, but between endless mercenaries with awful, computer-generated nicknames (who are the most difficult enemies in the game, BTW - I was killed by mercenaries far more than any other foe), 15-minute fights against "legendary beasts" (a trope they didn't have to carry over from Origins - it's just a copy of those ridiculous elephant fights), silly side quests that almost always involve killing bandits or animals (you are a mercenary - or misthios - after all), and sinking ships on the Aegean Sea, Odyssey can be a quite "grindy" at times.

    Also, outside of Kassandra (Sokrates and Myrinne are particularly good, also) the voice work is sub-average to poor. Many of the Greek accents seemed forced ("Hyow kyan I hyelp you?") and characters frequently emphasize the wrong words. Was no one in studio coaching them? Gah!

    The engraving system doesn't really add too much to the game. Sure, it's nice to acquire a perk that lets you use less adrenaline to perform a special move or to increase your damage against animals (refer to legendary animals above), but I feel like something better could have been done there...not sure what, though.

    I did NOT like that when went to play the game again, this time as Alexios, that all that happened was the programmers just dropped Alexios' avatar in the exact place where Kassandra's had been on my previous play-through. I think this game could have been something truly special had they found a way for you to play the game from one character's point of view, siding primarily with Sparta, and then from the other's POV fighting primarily for Athens. Interchanging the avatars really cheapened the story.

    Finally, that malakas farting pig...

    Anyway, this game is, overall, great escapism and I hope that whatever Ubi's doing next for the series ties what we've seen here into what becomes the Assassins and Templars. And also which Assassin mated with which eagle to create offspring that allow humans to have eagle vision... OK, maybe I don't want to see that...    … Expand

    Great story and game in general, it is hard to get bored of the game, always eager to continue and know what is next. Graphics are perfect with a huge map.

    Unfortunately this game is not a 10/10 due to its fighting, spamming special attacks and R1 and R2 is not the greatest idea, in my opinion.
    But the fightning really is not what the game is all about so this game gets a 9/10 on my part.

    The beginning of the game is not much fun and a bit grindy but after about 8 hours, it is so much fun! The story is not awesome but decent and unique how they did the brother-sister thing. Naval combat, exploration, killing mercenaries, fighting in the arena; were some of my favorite things to do. The animus interactions suck but luckily they aren't a bunch.

    Downside: The leveling system in the late games are pointless. The auto-scale of enemy level just keep you constantly changing gears that are acquired by random spawn. This keeps you from focusing on the build. The expense at upgrading your favorite builds prevents you from doing it. Besides, the auto-save feature could have been improved.

The years after I adventured with Desmond and Ezio, and learned more about Abstergo, the animus, the assassin's, and the templar. This year, I finally made it to Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I began an adventure with Kassandra, exciting to see where the story went over the years.

    The first thing quickly realized, is the story didn't seem to care much for what I loved about the series (the lore, if you will). However, AC Odyssey invites you into the world of Ancient Greece. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are breathtaking, and the story is immersive. I never ran out of things to do and every mission felt more of an exploratory task than a mission. After a while, I didn't want to leave Ancient Greece anyway.

    I think this is one of the top five games I've played since 2000. I love Greek mythology and I love how Odyssey tells the story of Kassandra like the Odyssey. The game is filled with surprises and adventure, and the writing ties it all together in spectacular fashion. I played 104 hours and had a hard time stopping to move on to my next game.

One think that I don't like so much like the other is the Story that is cool but I mees more dramatic and I don't can say that Alexios or Cassandra for me something special is for example RDR2 was for me with this Story so good I have loved Arthur how he was that was.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first thought it would be a vad game because a lot of players out there
    they don't like this game at all
    but some says its good
    For my opinion its a good game
    First i'm like "meh" its okay but after awhile the game becoming much more interesting
    as I'm playing it
    and i end up playing a hundred of hours, I never thought i would waste a hundred hour into this game but i did cuz its amazing
    maybe some people never played the game they just watched it and and people complaining cuz it aint and assassins creed game
    for me yes but no
    yes its not an assassins creed game because of the gameplay is quite different than its predecessors but no it is part of the assassins creed and that makes it an assassins creed game

    For me it's a great game i've played countless of hours grinding, exploring, fighting, seeking, serving, and uncover the mysteries of the greek world    … Expand

    The Devs outdid themselves with this game, they really tried to capture the Greek essence of culture, geography, architecture etc. Music is outstanding, travelling by sea is an unforgettable experience and gameplay is very cool. The grinding though and many meaningless quests are a bit tedious but don't spoil the fun.

    Top 3 da franquia facilmente, mundo aberto muito bom e com muitas coisas para fazer, Dlc’s muito boas e além de nos reconectar com as histórias dos Isu que pareciam um pouco perdidas ou mal colocadas na franquia. Uma oena que o verdadeiro final só é possível através da segunda Dlc do jogo

    70 hours into the game and I've got to say AC Odyssey surprised me positively! As an action-rpg game it does many things perfectly. Even though it takes a bit of grinding at some points and things could sort of get repetitive, I find myself enjoying all aspects of the game. The map is huge, so I suggest you move immediately if a certain place seems to bore you, you can always come back easily.

    One of the best Assassin's Creed games, 10x better than Valhalla; the graphics were great, the gameplay was awesome, and it's perhaps the only game ever to showcase Ancient Greece realistically in all of its ancient glory. Highly recommend this one; the only reason it doesn't have a 10 is because the story overall was decent but didn't push the bar.

    It is a good game, and polishes upon what it did in Origins, if this was released when AC4 was released I would give it a 9 or 10, but the series just feels like they are beating a dead horse by now. After completing it I never felt I got a "real" ending. Stories wrap up, but not in ways previous AC games have done. They should just finish the series and do something new with the engine.It is a good game, and polishes upon what it did in Origins, if this was released when AC4 was released I would give it a 9 or 10, but the series just feels like they are beating a dead horse by now.

    The side stuff is rather solid, not as tedious as MMORPG stuff, but still a bit repetitive, they do have good introductions. There are more MMORPGish quests you pick up from bulletin boards though, but I managed to max level without doing a lot of these. There are some fun things to do like the mercenary stuff, good semi challenging fights. Some side quests have good storylines, and there are some good "boss" fights in a hunter and another legendary boss type challenge. I platinumed the game.    … Expand

    It's a huge game, if you want to get remotely close to complete. Even feels bigger than Witcher3 and does go in to a bit of rinse and repeat, but the main story is reasonably interesting and I will finish it.
    That said, it makes you want to put down open world games for a few months, it's so big, but value for money? It's very very good.

    Assassins Creed Odyssey is just like the epic poem but not in verse but in content. This game places you directly into a land of adventure, politics, and family turmoil. I was wonderfully surprised how many things to do there are in this game.

This game places you directly into a land of adventure, politics, and family turmoil. I was wonderfully surprised how many things to do there are in this game. Back in 2007 when I first played Assassins Creed I was drawn to the interesting world but was quickly bored with the lack of unique things to do in the game. Now 11 years later that problem is gone.

    I am about 37 hours into the game at this point and have not finished it but I cannot put it down. Assassin Creed Odyssey is not perfect in anyway but that’s almost what I like about it. I think of Odyssey like a Jack-of-all-Trades, but a master of none. It’s not the best RPG, it doesn’t have the best stealth, or even good combat. Its story is rather simple and there are only a few characters really worth mentioning. But I like that it has all of these elements and that they work well together.

    I do really enjoy the game so far and I plan on getting the platinum trophy on the PS4. That’s a claim for only a few games I own. Assassins Creed Odyssey is really fun to play. And I really love that it gave me a new curse word. Malaka, which I guess, is like calling someone an **** But hell, I will always give a game bonus points for teaching me a new way to curse.

    Now there is a pretty big issue I have with Assassins Creed Odyssey. As the name implies the game is about assassinations and stealth. Odyssey has 3 types of combat that break down to melee, bow, and assassinations. Melee and bow are pretty straightforward. They are not that elegant but you can mix the two together to make combat interesting and dynamic.

    However, assassinations are a bit lackluster. There are only a few ways to assassinate someone and that is by sneaking up behind them, jumping down from above, or using an assassin’s ability. This can feel a bit repetitive which sucks because it’s really the best way to kill people in the game. Assassinations do so much damage that you can’t avoid it. That brings me to stealth because that is even worse.

    The stealth in Assassins Creed Odyssey is literally just crouching in bushes. To become invisible you just crouch. The only additional option that you really have to mix it up is to hide in bushes. Hiding in the bushes make you completely invisible some times even to touch by the enemy. I wish they had added some variety to it like peeking around corners, pulling enemies from windows, etc. Because stealth and assassinations are so strong and easy I find myself just running around crouch stabbing people from enemy to enemy. This quickly feels like I am cheating the game a bit because it’s so simple and powerful.

    If you get caught and break stealth then all you really need to do is run away. It’s that simple no matter what happens you can always run away and then re-stealth. There is one exception I found while in a Fort. If found, one of the enemies can light a signal fire which signals other soldiers and that can make it tricky to continue. I actually like this mechanic because it encourages true stealth and not gaming the system. I wish the transition from stealth to combat were harder to disengage. This would make getting caught more dramatic and dangerous.

    My last gripe before I move onto a few more things I really like about he game is the climbing. All Assassins Creed games have this problem and I cannot believe it’s still the same old song and dance. The climbing is sporadic and hard to control. I tried to climb into a window for 2 minutes because Alexios (the male main character) kept jumping past it, then aside it, then back over it again. Alexios also will try and climb things while in combat when I didn’t mean it to happen. Yea, I probably suck but this should be a non-issue by now. This series has been out for 11 years!

    That being said I really do love this game. The world is vast and the quests are plentiful. It never seems to get too repetitive either. There is just enough story mixed into the side quests to keep me interested without feeling bogged down with information and the progression system keeps me coming back for more. I want to complete some quest I just picked up because it will give me a piece of gear that I want; Or maybe it will put me over the edge in experience so I can get a new ability.

    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]
