    Interesting story, great naval combat system, and awesome adventure. Ancient Greece looks beautiful, music is great, overall a very solid RPG experience. Just good, plain fun.

    The Greek setting has no complaints from me. The Voice acting could’ve been better. The gameplay aspect is what makes up for the average story.

    Since this game released back in 2018 I have 100% everything on ps4 over multiple playthroughs. I'm currently replaying on xbox series x as there's something about this world they've created that just keeps pulling me back in for more. Loved the Atlantis DLC they released.

    One of the best Assassin’s creed game i have played. quite different from the first games of the franchise but a great game. the main story is not as entertaining as the side quest. i specially enjoyed the discussions you have with Aristottle.

    It's so boring, with beautiful landscapes and sea views, this game provides you with the same stupid quests. Dialogs between characters so boring that it make no sense to listen to them. What can I say - another assassin creed.

There is plenty in the form of customizing and even creating different builds with armor attributes and skills you can choose to level up. A lot to pursue like killing cultists to uncover their leader, the main story quest, tons of great side quests with dialogue decisions that determine the outcome of the stories. Discovering ancient Greece is great, the environments are interesting and look great. I found myself really interested in the story and all the different characters. The things that brought this game down a bit for me is the loss of it feeling like an Assassin game, I just felt like a Greek soldier really, if I’m not running around on rooftops with my hood up and hidden blades it just doesn’t feel the same. There is also a lot of needless microtransactions and level gating that annoyed me more than anything else. There is no real reward or incentive for sneaking around while you can’t even assassinate people with one hit most of the time. Also, the sheer size of the game started feeling too much when I finished off the number 1 ranked bounty hunter (which took a while to do) a whole new list of higher ranking bounty hunters popped up, I finally succumbed and said yeah this game is a little too big. Overall, I’m not sure if this new AC formula is the way to go, it does have some good things going for it, just not sure if its better than the previous just yet.… Expand

    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.

    I remember getting the first Assassins Creed game back in 2007. It was the first of its kind. Despite it being repetitive as all hell, it was a great game. Since then, the franchise has had a dodgy path of hit and misses. It seemed like they finally found their stride in Black Flag in 2013. The gameplay was tight and the addition of sailing your own ship was a lot of fun. Not only that,I remember getting the first Assassins Creed game back in 2007. It was the first of its kind. Despite it being repetitive as all hell, it was a great game. Since then, the franchise has had a dodgy path of hit and misses. It seemed like they finally found their stride in Black Flag in 2013. The gameplay was tight and the addition of sailing your own ship was a lot of fun. Not only that, you had decent storytelling, a brilliant soundtrack and some amazing environments. It felt like this was the right direction for the franchise.

    Take us now to 2018, with the release of Assassins Creed Oddyssey. From years of trial and error, Ubisoft decides to throw that out the window and make a whole new experience, using the same franchise. Here enters a poor mans take on Witcher 3. A game that takes place in a stupendously massive map, where every island, town and NPC is exactly the same. It was like the world was made by copy and pasting the same assets. The story was fairly simple; travel across Greece in a quest to find your parents, with a lot of distractions in between. My issue was that almost every character you come across, is void of personality or likeability. Even the protagonist that you're playing as, has an air of arrogance that becomes irritating. I found myself skipping the vast amounts of dialogue, when talking to any of these characters, as they never had anything interesting to say. Some of the coice acting in this game, is what I had the biggest issue with. There are a few characters that sounded like the meerkats from the adverts. But the worst of them all is thhe brother in this game. He sounds like a really cheesy baddy from an old Bond film. It was so cringe, I had to turn he volume down whenever he spoke. These draw backs are what stopped me from liking this game. And by the time I got to the end, I was treated to an ending that did not justify the amount of hours it took to get there.

    The gameplay is the one thing that kept me going with his game but even then, it was a mess. Each area is segregated by level; if you're a level 24 but walk into an area that is for level 30, then you're screwed. Even the wildlife will destroy you. I found this very frustrating, as the game funnelled me down one specific path, where I had to do serious grinding to progress to the next part. This game is a checklist of chores and it sucks the fun out of it. It's a problem that Ubisoft have in all of their games. That sense of grinding with repetitive tasks, in order to progress to the next level.

    I found this game deeply flawed and one of the weaker games of the franchise. I wish Ubisoft had taken the Black Flag formula and made a game that was the best of them all, but instead we're now playing a poor mans RPG, with equally mediocre writing and gameplay.    … Expand

Kassandra is a real badass, and spending the 100+ hours diving into shipwrecks, fighting epic battles, assassinating cult leaders and accidentally leaping off of tall cliffs on my trusty steed (sorry Phobos) was a memorable experience that surpassed nearly all of the other AC games to date (ACII still holds out as a favourite).

    If you love Greek mythology, sprawling open world adventures with hundreds of quests available, weapons and armour to collect and horses which come back from the dead after a long fall then I would definitely recommend Odyssey.    … Expand

    Even ignoring how the recent rpg AC games are such a diversion from the series that they should not be Assassins Creed games. This game also suffers from the mid-late 2010s open world curse. Every game has to be open world even when there isn't enough content to fill it. This is a prime example of the expression "wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle"

The new RPG gameplay mechanics were refreshing and welcomed by me but could definitely be improved upon if they continue in this direction in the future. Ubisoft should aim to find that perfect middle ground between RPG and the traditional Assassins Creed experience. For example, remove the typical grind found in the majority of RPG’s and focus on player choice/branching narratives and customisation instead. On a positive note though, Odyssey’s environments are beautiful, Kassandras character in particular is uniquely charming, certain side characters are genuinely interesting which leads to conversations that can be thought provoking and the plot at points is undeniably interesting.… Expand

    Odyssey is one of the most beautiful video games ever made.

They threw away Bayek, a great character, for Kassandra/Alexios badly acted characters that have no actual personality. I would not reccomend this game. It does everything to try to make you buy microtransactions, which don't belong in single player games. The game gives you so little XP for quests further contributing to the feeling of grind. The game is a chore to get throught and at the end the game doesn't even have a satysfying ending no matter which choices you pick(not like they even have any real effect). I would reccomend to stay far away from this game, as it really isn't fun to play.… Expand

This is the first game that accurately represents the history of Greece and its landmarks with so much details and precision.

    Apesar de não parecer Assassin's Creed, Odissey ainda é um ótimo jogo. Para quem gosta de mitologia grega assim como eu, é um prato cheio; todo trabalho de pesquisa que a Ubisoft fez é realmente admirável. E claro, assim como todo game dela, o suporte que ela traz para o Brasil sempre deve ser aplaudido.

I think that's important to know because a lot of the negative reviews seem to be coming from longtime fans who were let down by the direction Odyssey took. That's too bad because, as someone who didn't have the previous installments as a frame of reference, I found this to be one of the best games I've ever played. This game is big, beautiful, and thoroughly engrossing.

    Let's start with the superficial--the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. I'm a history buff, and I spent most of my playthrough in awe as I ran through the recreated streets of Athens or the imposing Minoan ruins in Crete. The textures are stunning. The colors of the Greek cities and countryside are vivid and beautiful. One of my favorite in-game activities was running through the scenery and finding new locations to synchronize (this is what unlocks different parts of the map for fast travel). Even though graphics aren't the most important thing in a game, this is a testament to the fact that they still do matter. The fact that something as mundane as unlocking fast travel locations became an experience of breathtaking beauty demonstrates how great graphics can improve a gaming experience.

    In terms of gameplay, the sharp controls are a critical factor in making this game what it is. The combat system is complex and requires a great deal of precision and timing from the player. Poor controls could have derailed this game. Instead, they make the combat fluid and fun. Setting up your opponent for devastating combos is mechanically very easy to do and the only limiting factor is the player's sense of timing and accuracy.

    That's not to say that they're completely perfect, however. There are a couple of annoying things that become noticeable from time-to-time. For example, you'll often find yourself fighting enemy mercenaries in the middle of crowded cities. When this happens, it's almost impossible to not take out one or more of the many innocent bystanders by mistake. This in turn raises your "bounty" (the game's system for deciding how much of a wanted man/woman you are), and before you know it, you can find yourself getting attacked by multiple mercenaries at once. It's a frustrating part of an otherwise flawless experience.

    As far as the story experience, Odyssey has it all. This game is as epic and sprawling as Gladiator, Braveheart, and Troy all rolled into one. The main quest is full of dramatic twists and turns. Things can go from farcical comedy to unexpectedly emotional in a matter of a few scenes. I actually, genuinely laughed out loud a few times, and honestly got choked up at one particularly powerful scene. The side quests are generally pretty entertaining, and, even though Odyssey has its fair share of fetch quests, most of the side quests are quite enjoyable.

    One thing I would have personally liked to see is more RPG elements. I understand that the addition of so many RPG elements was a point of contention among many longtime fans, but from my perspective, I think it could have used even more. The story is so emotionally heavy and the dialogue so rich and enjoyable, I would have appreciated more options to customize my character's personality with traits like charisma, lying, intimidation, etc.

    Overall, this game is one of my all-time favorites. It does just about everything extremely well, and the things that it doesn't do well are typically more minor annoyances than real negative drawbacks. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who has a few dozen hours to kill.    … Expand

However, the story in this game is fantastic, Ubisoft really did a good job writing these characters and I cared about each one. The choices you make can have a major impact on the ending which I find great as well. Combat is decent, but i found myself only using swords or daggers because the other weapons didn't feel right to me. Controls can be frustrating as well at times and your character won't jump or run where you want him to go. The game is quite buggy with frame drops as well. However, its really the story that makes this game and the adventure it takes you on. Ive never played a game nonstop so much in my entire life. Its fantastic.… Expand

I bought it and I can firmly say it is my least favorite assassin's creed game and by far one of the laziest rpgs I've ever played. This is not an 'assassin's' game. People say this all the time because it is true. It is a knock off witcher that fails in all aspects compared to the witcher. All the enemies are sponges, you get barely any experience (in hopes that this will push you to buy the time savers created by crappy corporate Ubisoft), and they're all the same recycled enemies. The Open world is beautiful but empty. The naval combat is annoying and tedious and does not have the same charm Black flag did. The rpg elements are weak and lazy especially the loot system. It feels like God of War (2018) system which was probably the biggest detriment to that game. However the story is the worst apsect of this game. I've never played a AAA game with such crappy voice acting till now. Hell, even Mass effect Andromeda had better voice acting. Alexios and Kassandra sound horrible and the other characters are grating. The comedy is immature and are practically Dad jokes, and the story is one of the worst stories i've ever seen. It takes a basic premise and somehow fails to accomplish anything meaningful with it. Kassandra and Alexios are both stale characters as the protagonist but shine as Demos. You see Ubisoft was lazy with Kassandra and didn't want to vary her story from Alexios to truly show what happened to women in Greece instead it feels more like a skin. You pick the protagonist skin by which one you like more and nothing changes. The story had so many cut out points and the hidden blade dlc should've been in the main game in the first place. Romance is worse than even the crappiest Bioware games because they're practically one night stands with no attachement to any of the characters. In addition to this I felt not attachement to any of the characters in this game. Not only due to crappy writing but because of how spaced out the story missions were. By the time I wanted to do a story quest 5-15 hours had already passed since I did the last one. Side quests were glorified fetch quests or bounty quests which everyone already hates. I cannot see how people think this game is superior to origins, which not only had fun combat with enemies that were not sponges, a great story, other than some glaring plotholes, and the crappy modern day, and an amazing protagonist. Odyssey, however, fails in all aspects. It had a crappy protagonist, a horrible modern day, a horrible story, and many plot holes, and horrible combat. They want this game to be the next witcher, it never will be.… Expand

К тому же, не имеющую, по сути, к серии Assassin’s Creed, никакого отношения. Прошел её ещё в 2018 году, но написать решил сейчас.
    И так, встречайте: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, так сказать........
    События самой игры происходят задолго до Origin (В которой, напомню, история всех ассасинов и началась. Так, что в Odyssey, никаких ассасинов и тамплиеров быть не может!) и "Assassin’s Creed", в названии, по мне, это просто заработок на бренде.
    Сюжет, тоже оригинальностью не блещет. После выбора персонажа через 5 минут ясно, кто будет главным антагонистом. Вообще, гемплейно, игра на 100% копирует Origin. Так, что ничего нового, тактильно, мы не почувствуем.
    Но, зато феминизм и гомосексуализм просто зашкаливает! Кто не играл, знайте, как бы это глупо не звучало, но играть лучше за женского персонажа. Выглядеть игра будет, как я уже сказал, глупее, но хотя бы не получите психологическую травму! Я выбрал мужского и вскоре об этом пожалел.
    Теперь скажу почему глупее. Просто смешно видеть, как пятидесятикилограммовая девушка расшвыривает пол сотни стокилограммовых мужиков, в доспехах, одной рукой. Так и хочется закричать "НЕ ВЕРЮ!!!". Ну, ёлки палки, какой то мультик, честное слово! Это же игра не про "капитана Марвел", прости господи, в конце концов!
    А теперь о психике. Как ни странно, половина всех нпс испытывают к протагонисту однополую тягу (если в начале выбрать мужского персонажа). В одном диалоге я просто охренел! Разговаривая с каким-то мужиком-торговцем, я, из предложенных: "Пожалеть" - "Отругать" - "Избить", выбрал первое! И каково же было моё удивление, когда вместо слов поддержки, мой протагонист начал взасос долбиться дёснами с этим мужиком, а потом, вообще, выебал его в соседнем здании! Я был в шоке! Ни ОДНОГО нпс мужского пола, в этой игре, я больше НЕ ПОЖАЛЕЛ!!!
    Так, что игра, на мой взгляд, просто дань нынешней европейской и американской моде! "Пожалеть" значит "Выебать", вот это железная логика нынешних, толерантных либералов!!! Слов нет!
    Как видно из вышесказанного, в Odyssey появились диалоги и выбор варианта ответа, которые, как мне показалось, на сюжет особого влияния не оказывают. Но зато влияют на то, будешь ли ты спариваться с данным нпс, или нет! Так, что будте осторожны! Можно случайно и честь потерять!:)
    Я не знаю почему Ubisoft так не любит греков? Считает их предков какими то развратными извращенцами. Почему Ubisoft?
    Но, что есть, то есть. И, может, если бы из названия убрали Assassin’s, а из игры анимус (который уже не знают, каким образом прикрутить к сюжету, даже смешно), получилась бы крутая игра про пидор...сов, пардон Грецию :-)    … Expand

    First technical issues :
    Horse is bugged like I've never seen it, glitching in the bridges or rocks, never jump. The worst is that it can't follow properly a road even though the Witcher 3 did it perfectly 5 years ago!
    The game is poorly optimized, I have a pretty good computer (decent quality on the witcher 3, AC Unity, other games), it's not the best computer but it works fine and is able to manage a heavy game. With Odyssey I dropped the graphics to the lowest, the game looks like a PS2 game and it's still lagging !!! I mean the terrain is worst than Skyrim's at this point!
    Good transition, the textures are ugly. Not because they aren't of good quality when you turn the graphics on, but because they're shoddy. Look at the male main character, whatt's the problem with his eyes ?
    The AI is still stupid, people think that using math to force you using a certain number of hits to kill someone is creating difficulty and challenge, but it's actually just boring and none realistic in a game that wants to be as much realistic.
    Realism in the game is just killing all the fun, caves so dark you can't see a thing, characters too much like "everybody" , ... . The characters lack epicness ! I don't want to play aybody, I could just be myself in real life, the graphics and latency are unbeatable. I want to play an assassin

    Game issues:
    The story is boring. The reason is that if you can decide the end of every quest, decide too much things, there s actually no story... It's just a sandbox, and I like sandboxes but they aren't no game.
    The controls are so frustrating and poorly chosen !! seriously, Y to assassinate, RB to hit? X to dodge ??? I mean you want to dodge and assassinate quickly, choosing the buttons that are the furthest from your thumb IS a bad choice, it's purely basic ergonomic logic. RB is in my opinion a bad choice for spammable actions because it forces you to move your hand in a none intuitive position but that's less objective.
    Bow does no damage, assassination are not worth it bec
    There are the same problems with freerun there was in Unity (haven't played Origins nor Syndicate): whan you want to jump between roofs, cross a fence, an obstacle , ... The character stops, cross the obstacle slower than if it was walking, and then have to run again. I thought the point of free run was to cross obstacles quickly and escape from the ennemies ??? It's so not worth it ! Every ennemy will catch up .
    The story is just badly told, the introduction of the character is with flash backs inside the animus which is basicly a flash back. The main character is a stereotype of "fighter with a heat" like Rob Roy, Bruce Willis in most of his roles, ... . But it worls in latter movies because the hero is struggling. Given the broken abilities of Alexios/Kassandra, I just don't buy it.

    Issues related to the franchise:
    This is not an Assassin's Creed ! No assassinations, free run is useless and painfull, fights feel like a cheap the witcher 3.
    The point of Assassin's Creed was to hide a story behind well known historical events and figures. I don't know why every spartan in this game speak like Kratos or the spartans in the movie 300 but it's so wrong. Sparta had 2 kings, slaves and all free spartans were poets aside being warriors (and there are much more errors).
    Assassin's Creed games worked around different phases : assassinate, run away. It's okay to try reinventing the game, but wether your really change it or you don't change it at all. The skills feels useless, not really damage dealing. They are forced into the game without necessity: in the warrior tree, the first 3 skills are kind of similar but not really interesting, just flavouring the fights.

    To sum it up : just play the witcher 3, it's much better.
    2 things are really interesting though : Ikaros is so great : technically and in the gameplay, so useful, such a great eagle vision! The armor designs are reallyg good. Lacks some variety but yet really good.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played around 200 hours, this game is *** awesome !! People complaining about microtransactions saying that they're necessary are just really bad, they are by no mean necessary, I cleared the missions and got the best gear and had to put the game on the highest difficulty for it to be challenging.
    I heard some comments about how it's hard to be stealthy ... are you fu*** kidding me!!? I cleared all forts in the game in stealth, you have to learn the game mechanics and how to approach your stealth game for it to be effective and not having to fight. Maybe because i played almost all AC games before i was really good at it, but what i'm saying is the game offers a perfect approach for stealth style.
    And all the mythic stuff it has the the DLC, it's amazing, fighting the Minotaur was fun, the cyclops, Medusa, all of these were amazing. I don't understand the hate or the low score. THE ONLY thing i can think off is the mythical part of this entry on the franchise, and people only wanted normal AC stuff, and to that i say fu** you, the best part about the game was the historical places it took us to, and this entry did that PERFECTLY. So hats off to Ubisoft, i'll definitely play Valhalla and then go back and play Origins cuz i have not.    … Expand

    A bit dissapointed not with the game itself, but that it seems that with every new entry into the series we are straying further away from the concept of the series. It has nothing to do with assassins whatsoever, exept some little missions regarding the present day story.

On the good side, I really like Kassandra, the setting, and the story they are telling so far. The ability to change the appearance of armor is also really nice. On the negative side, the bounty system is kind of busted. I think someone implanted cell phones in the heads of the soldiers in ancient greece. I will be fighting two enemies, kill one and be tagged with a bounty for murder instantly by a different enemy on the other side of the region. How did he know? Especially if I kill the only other soldier that witnessed it 5 seconds later. Also how did he notify bounty hunters of my location instantly. It is lazy video game logic that ends up feeling like a fun tax rather than a meaningful system.
    I'm also not a fan of having a grindy level system and gear levels in the game. It kinda sucks to get a legendary and have to pay a lot to keep it up to level with me or replace it with a higher level common. It really hampers my excitement at finding cool new gear. All together I think this game is good.... But it should have been better. Thats why it gets a 7.    … Expand

Sure it has flaws but it change the franchise, it was a new AC experienc and one i was ready to take on. Jump forward to Oct2, 2018 releas date of AC odyssey. i started playing the game AND, god was it bad. It tok me almost 2 years to finish the game. Its not becaus i am slow or becaus the game is hard its becaus it continuesly stops your progresion thru the story. I constantly faound myself not high enuf level to continu the story. Now i wouldent care about that if the amount of XP you get was fear to the amount you ned to level upp but its not. It takes so long to level upp, and the only way to do it in a desant speed is to do side quests. I dont mind this, if it wasent for the fact that the sidequests are so **** boring. All you do is go to this stranger and talkt, they need help with som boring task witch for the most part means go there kill that guy or girl ore talk to that guy ore girl. Now i know other RPGs hav thes cind of sidequests to but you dont have to do like a **** milionn of them to continue the main story of the game. See this game isent long. but it feels long becaus you have to do **** bissey work to continue the plot, witch is boring as **** to begin with. Not ones when i playd this game did i care wat happend in the story, not ones did i care about the carecters, not **** once did i ask myself wow i wonder what happens next. that is why it took me soo long to finish this game becaus i got bored. A good RPG is suposed to draw you in with ist carecters and story, THIS is not a good RPG. This sucks. To finish this rant of i want to say with (A boring story that gets interupted, sidequests that feels mandetory insted of somthing fun, boring charecters you dont care for, a broken level upp system that takes takes to long to level upp) This game sucks. Oh and let not forget the 50% EX bost you can buy for real world money, witch you need to get desent experinc ore be stuck in the **** grind that is this pice of **** **** game.

The Combat ist just annoying, nothing aims right, the stupid assigning of abilities is just soooo stupid!!! As if someone's gonna have time mid battle to navigate through the abilities to use them, we only have two hands. Dodging an opponents attack isn't really dodging it as you literally get caught at the end of the swing like wth!! They need to learn from the old games like Black Flag and Syndicate, the combat wasn't perfect but at least you could fight more opponents at the same time. The naval battles also leave something to be desired, again, they need to learn from previous games like Black flag. The fact that we have to choose the answers to everything ourselves now is an incredibly a stupid concept, especially if we need to get certain ones in a certain way to get the whole family together. Some people don't like sitting through the dialouge hence we sit there clueless ass to what to choose. The map is sooooo unclear at all times, you can never find the necessary symbol, just filled with a lot of jibberish. Fix these issues in Valhalla plz.

    Though this game has some filler missions that may not add much to the overall story, the main and main side missions are amazing. Immerse yourself in Ancient Greece and feel what it’s like to be a misthios in these times. I thoroughly enjoyed looking and marveling at all the beauty that has been created to see Ancient Greece as it was.

    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]
