    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a beautiful game. I've just started playing and the game's atmosphere is beyond belief. Being able to choose a character and how you want to play is nice. The best part is it is all changeable during the game.

    I've come to realize that AC fans just don't know what they want and ruin the series with reviews that don't make any sense or accurately depict what is going on. They ruined the series once after unity by complaining about a small portion of graphical errors that easily got patched.

They ruined the series once after unity by complaining about a small portion of graphical errors that easily got patched. So Ubi went another direction by dumbing down graphics and mechanics for a yearly release that almost ended the series. Ubi comes out with a fresh take for a stagnating series and adds some open world RPG elements that were not perfect in origins but I step in the right direction for the future of the game. Biggest issue there was story. Now, Ubi implements some Witched esque elements (which makes sense for a now open world series w RPG elements as the Witcher is a prime example for this genre) and fans lose their minds over aspects of the game like 'grinding" or "not really AC". Well, if the fans would have supported Ubi instead of lost their minds over small issues earlier in the series Ubi would not have had to experience a crisis of identity or format and arrive at this game. This is far from the original gameplay and story that made AC famous but that does not make it a bad game. It plays great, its vast, the story isn't bad (though the voice acting budget might need some love), and its a step in the right direction. Don't let the hate keep you from enjoying an intensive and well developed game that isn't perfect. 9/10 for me. Room to improve.… Expand

    First of all - ignore all the reviews that use the microtransactions as a reason for a bad score, because none of them are essential. Yes, you get through the game a bit quicker if you pay money, however the "normal" progression through the game is in now way impacted by it. And why anyone would want to hasten through a game like this is a mystery to me.

    The game is easily on the level of The Witcher 3 or Skyrim in size and complexity. The voice acting (if you choose Kassandra) is one of the best performances ever and the writing, both in the main quest and the side quests is brilliant.

    Is it still Assassin's Creed? I'm not sure. But it is my game of the year and yes, I have played and finished both God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2.    … Expand

    I have never made a review for a game in my entire life. This issue just bugged me for some reason. Enough to make an account and post a review. I hate bad customer support, and I hate a company so big that they don't actually care about the individual person using their service. So they lost whatever money they got from me over roughly $2.50 in imaginary currency.

I hate bad customer support, and I hate a company so big that they don't actually care about the individual person using their service. So they lost whatever money they got from me over roughly $2.50 in imaginary currency.

    This is the first Assassin's Creed game I have bought in a long time. I found the other ones repetitive and eventually boring. Decided to give Odyssey a chance. Game play was good, graphics were good and the story was good. None of that was a problem. However on principle alone I returned the game. Upon completion of Chapter 2, you are supposed to receive 200 free Helix credits. This is actually a very, very, very, very small amount. Its literally worthless in their store. I don't particularly care about the credits. I couldn't have done anything with them anyways, which is fine. It's free and its value is inconsequential. What I have a problem with, is that I never received the credits. No big deal, I figure just contact support and I'll get the credits back. I figure, surely they aren't going to care about $2.50 of imaginary currency, for imaginary products in an imaginary world. Nope, they sure as heck do. They care so much that even when I told them I would return the game if I wasn't given the same product as other customers that paid the same amount, they still said THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. Like the helix credits are locked in some freaking safe, with a key that someone threw away upon completion of construction of said safe. That is insane to me, that a company that received probably at least $30 in PURE PROFIT from me, is willing to lose that business for $2.50 of imaginary currency. I will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever buy another ubisoft product again. If they gain completely control over the worlds water sources, and in order to survive I have to purchase anything from them, I will die before I give them another dime. Go eat a huge phallic shaped object Ubisoft.

    **Disclaimer, this isn't against the representatives involved. This is an issue with the company they work for. The random customer service agent isn't going to have any control over this issue, and again I understand it is not one persons fault at the company.**    … Expand

    This is an absolutely essential release from Ubisoft. The best game in the series, combining the best elements from The Witcher, Origins, Black Flag and Shadow of War. Yes, it has flaws like every other major game these days, but even The Witcher 3 was partially unplayable at release. In truth, Odyssey is a wonderful, fun and lively experience.

    I see a lot of haters on here pretty much complaining that the game isn't AC3 set in ancient Greece. I think of each of these games as independent releases and unique games.

I think of each of these games as independent releases and unique games. From what I can see the combat style is really different and can definitely be frustrating to use, however if you look at the techniques and assassination tools you'll notice they're less refined and more rough around the edges the farther back you go in the games because you're going back in time where the assassins were just developing. Even the difference between AC: Origins and this game is hundreds of years so it's to be expected that the combat style reflects the early development of the techniques and combat. I would say if you can separate the games into individual releases and take a second to think of the reverse progression/development of the assassins as you go through time which is the developers intent then you will enjoy the game. Solid 70+ hours of game play, lots of free downloads from the ubi-store, and a massive world which is very well polished. I have only experienced one crash and considering the entire country of Greece and it's isles are included in the game that's f-ing impressive. Well done Ubisoft.… Expand

    I'm too early in the game to write a review, however, I just want to give everyone a heads up - in case you haven't heard - that Odyssey is pretty much a different genre of game compared to all previous games. And so if you're not a fan of RPG's or RPG-like games, I wouldn't recommend this to you.

    I've played up to level 3. It's almost exactly like Origins so far. Same houses, landscapes. Same type of missions. Same fighting style. Same leveling system. Haven't gotten to ships yet- hoping that's something different. So far, not impressed. Will update as I get further into the game. Not really an RPG.

    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]
