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

    I would recommend this game to anyone who reads this.

    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.

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

    A much better game than Origins in every respect. While I found Origins boring and tedious, Odyssey has me hooked.

    The game world is huge and there is tons to do. The main quest is engaging, as are many of the side quests. The historic setting is interesting as well.

    I really enjoyed this game and it's hard to see how Ubisoft could have done anything better.

    It is one of the most difficult game to give the score.

    On the one side - the gorgeous world, places and all that connected to the historical part. But on the other side - rather wick story and it is even doesn't end in the main game, you have to buy the DLC to get the whole story; the Ubisfot's features like towers, camps, typical and boring quests and other things are very tiresome

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

    I have never played a game as boring as AC Odyssey. While the game is fun, it's just way to stretched out. 95 percent is just traveling. Finished a quest? Nice! Now go and talk to 3 more people that are far away from fast travel points. I'm 50 hours in and I just can't be bothered to finish the Atlantis DLC because it's so unbelievably boring.

    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.

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

    The gameplay is very good overall, although the skill tree element doesn’t fit well with an Assassin’s Creed title.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Como veterano de la saga puedo decir que estoy profundamente decepcionado, para no alargar mucho la reseña haré un breve resumen la historia es lenta y aburrida no engancha y los personajes son muy planos, el combate no se siente para nada bien, la decisión de remover la hoja oculta ha sido nefasta y nadie lo había pedido, las texturas hacen popping muy frecuentemente y los diálogos son bastante irrelevantes. Lo único que se salva es el parkour que está ok, y la exploración que no está mal. En resumen si es tu primer assassins creed y vas con las expectativas muy bajas puedes llegar a disfrutarlo pero si eres un veterano de la saga te recomiendo esperar al Assassins creed mirage (que esperemos cumpla las expectativas).

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

    This is a fantastic game that really brought me on board with what the franchise has been doing throughout its approximately ten years prior to the release of Odyssey.

ButThis is a fantastic game that really brought me on board with what the franchise has been doing throughout its approximately ten years prior to the release of Odyssey. Before this entry in the franchise, I had only played Assassin's Creed II, and found myself sadly bored, wondering why I didn't click with a game that had received so much praise from others who had played the game. But Odyssey, with its massive open world, was what I personally wanted from an Assassin's Creed game.

    Odyssey is not necessarily perfect, and to some extent, I tend to agree with much of the criticisms levelled at the game. Its open world feels a bit bloated at times, and its combat is good, though not necessarily excellent. However, I felt that while these things did drag down the overall experience significantly, the game still shone in many areas. It has a solid story, and the gear system is fairly good as well. What elevates all these average aspects is the sheer volume of content available to players. And while individual players' mileage may vary, I truly did enjoy my time with the game.

    Odyssey might alienate former fans of the franchise, but I personally found myself greatly enjoying the formula that was first introduced in Origins and refined here. I would recommend the game to any fan of open-world action RPGs, with the caveat that it may not reach the highs of other games within the genre.

    Gameplay, graphics, and other aspects are almost the same as in Origins.

    Yes, the Odyssey hasn't a lot of changes but it's a big, very big game. Many resources have been invested to create that game and it's not ok to blame the game because it's big and took plenty of resources.

    It's a good single-player game you could spend more than 100 hours on it. I've beat the main story in about 40 hours but am still playing it because of DLC and some side quests – I want to know who is the main cultist.

    So kindly recommend to all who likes single player 3rd person action/adventure games.

    UPDATE: I spend almost 100h for main story + 2 DLC + platinum trophy.

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

    Amazing game all around! After 320 hours, got Platinum Trophy and finished all the DLCs, I can safely say that Odyssey was the most enjoyable game that I've played in the last 5 years.

    Fun and varied gameplay, the abilities really come into play and they are fun to use, I always recommend switching between them and not using just the best/meta ones.

    Combat may feel floaty at first, but it's because of the weapons used. I also used swords and spears, until I realized they have to feel light. When switching to heavier weapons, it became more satisfying.

    Naval battles are super fun, yet lack realism.

    For people complaining about the lack of guaranteed assassination, there's a skill which you unlock later and which gives you direct asssassination for 90% of the enemies.

    I have never been underleveled. If you explore the beautiful world and do all the side quests (I mean narrative ones, not the radiant ones) you won't have any problems.

    The world is absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint is that, while it feels alive, you can't interact much with it. Social stealth, interactive objects, animals petting, a mini-game etc. would've been amazing.

    I loved Kassandra as a protagonist. She's great IMO, top4 AC protagonists, and since you get to make the decisions, it adds more depth. Also, I'll get this straight: her design is great, she's beautiful (and I think we should appreciate this since attractive females are becoming more and more rare in tripleA western RPGs). Still, there is one problem: the lack of character development, or very few of it.

    Graphics and artstyle, the game does both well.

    I definitely recommend playing on normal or easy difficulty since the combat basically means that your enemies have much more hp and deal more dmg. For example if you play on hard and try to fight a mercenary with 2 lvls above you, you have to perma hit him for 15-20 minutes, while you die in 2 hits. That is so bad, because it happens even if you have full legendary items.
    Also to note that you can modify the settings so that your enemies scale with you.
    I also advice you play as Kassandra, she has better voice acting and story makes more sense.

    As other have said, it is a gigantic game and can become repetitive. Upgrading items is costly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the record, I have around 100hrs, and not finished with main quest, but have to write review for reasons below. First off - the good things, the game starts off great - reliving the battle of 300, then getting abandoned by Sparta and starting anew as mercenary aka misthios. After getting out of starting island Kephallonia, there is a lot - and I mean A LOT to explore, and most of it for me felt different enough to keep me going. The 'world and characters' side quests are also very varied and many of them have choices that make you pick lesser evil, which is great. Main quest is also very good so far, trying to reunite your family and reclaim your place in Sparta. As for crafting/upgrade mechanisms and resource availability, for me it was Ok, as the amount of resources you get scale with your level, there is no need to buy anything from in-game shop. Graphics are very good, so is combat, for me it felt very dynamic, sometimes punishing, but overall very fun. The mercenary ranking system isn't bad.
    Now for the bad things - the minor ones. The enigma ostrakas - if you want to complete them, some are really easy to find, some are tough but all the more rewarding, but some of them outright misleading - as perfect example is 'goat's gruff' - so much so, that after you give up searching the only place that fits at least to some extent the vague description on the ostraka, and you'll google the exact location, you will want to beat whoever wrote it with two stupid sticks while kicking him in the nuts.
    Somewhat worse for me were some quests where you had to guess where to find next objective - one especially bad was quest for killing Drakon, where there game literally says 'his camp is somewhere in Boeotia' - wow, just wow.
    The absolutely positively worst thing so far was hunting cultists. Let's say you get this one legendary set item, and you tell yourself 'now I want the whole set, and ASAP, because it's game changing for my playstyle'. Ok, you start to get clues - as example there is this cultist in Attika that owns quarry, the clue says - ok, I'll go to quarry and kill him, he will be there. Except nope, he won't be there, unless you do like 5 side quests in Attika, that doesn't even remotely hint that the cultist will be uncovered in the end. Why not at least include hint about the person that gives the side quests into the clue? Another example is cultist on obsidian islands - clue says 'weaking the islands will draw him into naval battle'. Again, this is misleading, if you weaken the islands, you can sail around them 10 times and you will not find the cultist. You have to google again to find out you need to speak to general for conquest battles to uncover him - again nothing about this in the clue. If this was some optional stuff, I would understand, but finding and killing cultists is very much bread and butter of this game, so this is very much an issue for me, because it can literally take hours of gameplay without any progression. Given the scope of the game, you really want to progress as much as possible, to see it all.
    Soo yea, a 6 from me.

    One of the best Assassin's Creeds so far, I liked every second of it and it pushed me to turn PS5 everyday to end the story despite I am a guy who doesn't have a lot of time to play any game even once a week lately!
    Also I liked Kassandra character and I think they can even expand this game with this protagonist

    If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be "tedious".

    Still, if we talk about the good aspects of the game, this is an impressive job done by the Ubisoft design department. They seem to have the most talented and passionate people working there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Odyssey is my favorite of the recent Assassin's Creed games by far. The setting isn't as good as Origins, but Odyssey's story is much, much better than Origins (and so is the combat) and kept me hooked until the end. Played as Kasandra and loved her family-focused story and even loved Legacy of the First Blade DLC.

    Pros
    - massive map that does not need loading screens between islands
    Cons - assassination damage builds are completely useless - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button
    Pros
    - massive map that does not need loading screens between islands

    Cons
    - assassination damage builds are completely useless
    - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time
    - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button takes five percent of their HP
    - the story is forgettable
    - the side stories are completely forgettable
    - the spongy enemies are back and it is even worse now, as some of the Mercenaries that come after you can take five minutes of straight DPS so you are going to be fighting a single enemy for about ten minutes, if you include dodging and strafing
    - the microtransactions went from bad to abysmal as every part of progression is either a disgusting grind or pay five dollars for 150%XP boost for two hours

    Want to hear the best joke the series ever told? Assassination damage builds in AC Odyssey. The level based assassinations are back and they are as dumb as ever. Upon pressing the assassination button an animation plays. In this animation, you could see your character stab someone sixty times then set them on fire then poison them then let a lion tear them to shreds and then drop a nuke on them. And they get hit for five percent of their max health.

    But wait, this game has melee damage builds, ranged damage builds and assassination damage builds. Surely if I build assassination damage I can kill people with my assassinations. Yeah, no. In fact you are screwing yourself over completely if you build like that.

    I mean, you will do fifteen percent of their health instead of five but guess what? They are still not dead. And now they alerted the whole camp. So you either have to fight or run. Oh you want to fight? Dummy you built assassination damage not melee damage. So the enemies that are spongy for the melee damage builds are a nightmare for you. Now instead of just the Mercenaries taking five minutes each, all of the enemies will take years off your life.

    Now I am going to make a controversial statement. Ready? Interact button should be an interact button. OK? Let me repeat that. Interact button should be an interact button. Do you know what I don't want to do? I don't want to run up to an NPC and jump instead of talking to them. I don't want to crouch instead of talking to them. I don't want to use an item instead of talking to them. And I certainly do not want to track a nearby non-essential NPC and put my knife through their neck. Of course not killing them but now they are hostile as well as the quest giver.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to make the Interact Button/Assasination Button combo on the controller should be fired on the spot. Like how stupid are you?

    Ok now to the fun part, the microtransactions. When this game drew ire for the amount of ridiculous monetization they came out defending it with the most hilarious lie I have ever seen. The Time Savers are there for adults that don't have time to grind video games. I mean you could do that… or you could just not make the game a grindfest scraping for every bit of progression in order to be tempted into the store. But thanks Ubisoft, thanks for balancing the game just right and thinking about the hard working people.

    Damn this game just pisses me off. I 100% it without ever purchasing a single thing from the store and damn, there are few games that left me emptier than this one. This thing is a hollow shell of what the greater AC series used to be. It is not all bad, as there are moments where I had some fun with the game and I clearly had to enjoy some of it to 100% it but wow. The hours put into this title feel like wasted time which is not a feeling I should get after finishing a game.

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

    The world is beautiful and the graphics amazing, but apart from that everything else is mediocre, the story doesn't captivate me in the same way previous Assassins Creed games have, the fact that the protagonist now has god like abilities and can pretty much end an entire army by himself takes me out of the whole experience and defeats the purpose of being an assassin. The secondary missions were repetitive and frankly quite boring. The modern day storyline only serves to interrupt the game play, which already leaves much to be desired. The parkour is basic and the way in which you upgrade weapons and gear even more so.

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

I originally came into the came with a negative mindset but playing through it, the game became one of the most fun games i’ve played this year. The combat is really fun and the story is decent. I say the story is decent because the ending didn’t feel fulfilling for me. I got the happy/best ending but it didn’t feel like it. I also wish the cult of kosmos members you hunt down played a bigger role and i wish the enemies weren’t so damage spongey. I also expected the main antagonist to play a larger role but they would only show up in cutscenes and we rarely get to see them outside of that. Expand

    3. Storyline was not as expected, so a bad ending.
    4. Poor animations and physics- come on, 70-80% of video games nowadays they have good graphics and a lot of insane details, this game to me with this poor graphics it really fits for a ps3 video game and here is the point about physics: when you slash an enemy, there are no slash wounds, just blood covered around all the body, which to me is so unrealistic.

    Good spots:
    1. Open world video game.
    2. Weapons and costumes were interesting.

You will try to stealth assassin some random enemy, just for it to stay alive because you dont have enough damage. This is ridiculous imo.

    Story quite good but the game is ruined by the bad implementation, lack of polish and the endless level grinding. If only the main story is more accessible, without the need of the side quests so you are not falling behind when it comes to the leveling, it would be much better in my opinion. Just not my cup of tea.

    The world is simply gorgeous in this game, the story and characters are also pretty solid (could be a legit sequel to the 300 films) but the gameplay could stand some improvement, even normal and weak enemies take like 5 minutes to kill, also I'm not a fan of naval warfare in AC games, it just feels clunky and not fun. besides all that, pretty solid game.

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

    OVERRATED! This game broke the lore of the series. It had so many MICRO-TRANSACTIONS. The animations suck. I can't see how so many like it. But that is just mu opinion

    Passed the game 100%. I'll start with the pros, great atmosphere, sounds, there are a couple of interesting bosses, for example medusa, that's basically all. Cons are everything else that is, specifically, a terrible storyline that does not particularly involve you, because you will be running and clearing outposts 70% of the time.

Boring and monotonous combat system, I did not like the RPG system, there are good additional quests, but there are few of them. You skip the dialogues at the end of the game, because they are of the same type, as in principle 80% of all content. If you played the previous part, then it is much more interesting than this one! I knew that everything was so bad in the game, I didn't even start to pass, and so I spent 100 hours of my personal life on this squalor! Expand

    Although it is not like the Assassin's Creed games we know, I think it is one of the best games in the series. AC: Odyssey offers the player great freedom with a great atmosphere, high graphics, a wide variety and a huge map. I loved this game because I was interesteding in history and ancient Greece.

    Call me crazy but this is my favorite Assasin's Creed. Ancient Greece, the islands, are amazing and really beautiful. Yes, there are a lot of boring side-quests, and chests, and the story is not amazing, but you can definitely feel like a hero!
    (And yes, maybe I was shooting at sharks from my bow for 25 minutes, so what?)

    Absolutely amazing!
    Graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, exploration, the world, the story! A world to explore outside and inside the sea! Everything is so full and densely packed! If some people find it a lot they have the option to do just exactly what they want and not complain about the size! There are people who want to invest much time in a game and not just 15 hours. Well worth the investment!

    Is a terrible game, apart all the crap they carry over from old titles, the story is boring and tedious.
    is redundant as torture. you keep doing only 3 things for all the game over and over. the side mission are boring as hell and the final story is just a joke seriously insulting ending.
    there is literally nothing to do, all the side activities you had in previous game such as steal

    you just go kill animals or dude.
    the fighting is ridiculous.

    man this game is pure trash...

    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]
