    The game really amazes me and reminds me old good Black Flag.

    Great combat, beautiful setting and engaging story. It makes for a longer and more interesting game than Origins but lacks the draw of Bayek of Siwa and nothing imo beats the egyptian setting so far. Still a fantastic game, but I feel Origins is a better AC game. This is coming from someone who didnt really like the series either..

    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 finished the main quest in 45 hours. I have to say, this game is great but it's so damn repetetive. Also, the fact that you must reach a certain level to proced in the main quest is very boring and the main plot could have been more short for sure. Anyway, interesting story and good gameplay, it really entertained me for a long time|

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is definitely a must play, even if the use of micro-transactions is a bit intrusive towards the later part of the game. The map is insanely huge and gorgeous.

Yes naval battles are back and they are super similar to Black Flag's mechanics. Boarding works the same, shooting works the same, although its arrows instead of cannons, and upgrading your ship has a game play loop to it that is really satisfying. You can even customize the look. The biggest change to the Ship mechanic would be the Lieutenants. Lieutenants add perks to the ship like plus damage, or plus armor, etc. They also have uses when boarding a ship. They fight right alongside you. Like gear these Lieutenants range from common to legendary status. Speaking of gear. If you were like me and wished Origins had armor that wasn't just cosmetic, or wanted a change from the status quo upgrading the same armor you have the entire game then Odyssey is your jam. Now armor pieces consist of 5 types. Head, chest, legs, arms, and waist. Each piece has their perks and range from common, to legendary. Weapons are still the same from Origins. Sword, double swords, staffs, maces, axes, spears, etc. However bows have changed and work nothing like origins. Now you only carry one at all times and upgrade perks to make it do stuff like the predator bow did when you followed a shot to the target. Or shoot 4 arrows out of time with the Multiple shot perk. And you can FINALLY craft arrows. That was a much welcome change for me. Listen, Odyssey deserves a chance. If you are one of those people saying "this isn't an Assassin's Creed game!" Ok then it's not now play it it is still good enough to warrant your time and money. The value alone is exemplary. Giving you tons more hours of play than any previous AC games. All I am asking is that you keep an open mind, and before you completely write this game off just try it. You might be pleasantly surprised. My one and only gripe is the heavy push at micro-transactions. You will get to a point where you have to grind for hours to get to the level whatever the Next story mission is at, and it's quite clear what Ubisolft's intentions are. To get you to purchase Helix credits so that you can get XP boosters, better gear, etc. It isn't all bad though. This kinda forced me to explore the world looking for locations to complete, and I ended up getting WAY better gear for doing so. It just throws the pacing off quite heavily. Ok, ok I'm done now. Just try it before ya criticize it.… Expand

There was just enough of the Greek mythology sprinkled into the game while making sure to tie it all into the AC lore to make sense.

    You can choose to ignore all the tedious side quests and power through the story, although a few of them are definitely worth pursuing. I recommend taking a quick look at a guide to see which ones, I don't want to spoil anything here. It was a lot of fun to play.    … Expand

    Antes de lançar, o hater em cima do jogo era alto com muitos dizendo que seria apenas uma cópia do Origins, mas estavam errados. O jogo de longe é muito mais que isso, é o melhor da franquia. Com vários detalhes adicionados que seus antecessores não tinham. Deixou de ser apenas um jogo histórico como elemento principal, agora se tornando um RPG enriquecendo o jogo como um todo. Creio eu que se a Ubisoft largar a ideia de lançar um jogo de Assassin's Creed por ano e dar mais tempo para o desenvolvimento do jogo a qualidade pode ser melhor, que é o que este tipo de jogo necessita.

    Por outro lado as missões com o tempo se tornam maçantes e repetitivas, são todas muito parecidas e também não se vê mais duas coisas que eu gostava muito dos jogos anteriores que são o assassinato fatal furtivo, agora se o poder de assassinato não sendo suficiente perante o nível do soldado mesmo enfiando uma adaga nas costas do inimigo ele não morre de primeira. A outra é a fluidez da movimentação do personagem principal ao andar, correr, saltar, subir, esbarrar em alguém, etc, antes era fluído (meio realista) agora não se vê mais nada disso.

    Claro que precisam melhorar várias coisas nos próximos jogos que vierem pela frente, porém o primeiro passo para uma mudança corajosa e necessária já foi dada e acertada com muitos mais prós que contras, porém não podem esquecer totalmente do passado da franquia.    … Expand

    The worst about this game are the "Assassin Creed" parts (mostly present parts), without them the game would be much better. The game also does not have proper ending with ending credits. It was huge disappointment which left me like not finishing the game after 90 invested hours. After this enormous time I was looking forward to already finish the game and move to something else. I believe most mature players these days have enough money, but they do not have enough time (e.g. I will not be able to finish in my life all the games and books which I own). From the authors of the games I would expect to prepare the game as good as possible without any fillers and with proper ending respecting its players (and customers of the authors). Quality is more than quantity and Assassins Creed franchise is not the type of game like Monster Hunter. The proper length would be approx. 40-50 hours. Or at least the mains missions (like hunt for cultist) should not be hidden between hundreds of side quests.

    Also the movement is little bit clunky and fighting is quite simple. I have played RDR2 right before it and then started Death Stranding. Both these games has much better feeling of moving in real environment.

    Simply said without great characters and ancient Greek setting, I would enjoy the game much less.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As with Origins, this years creed installment is a welcome change. The RPG elements are what this game needed to feel fresh, the combat was much improved on the last game (still room for improvement). The narrative was solid, the high seas ship battles are welcomed in their return and the mini nemesis system for the mercenary’s was also pretty cool.

    What isn’t great is the game world is big. The issue with this is sometimes the areas feel they are big just to be big, there is nothing to fill those areas with interesting things to find. A good chunk of side quests were very fetch like, this isn’t a problem if during that quest it guides you to a more substantial find (think Skyrim and the Witcher 3). Speaking of fetch quests I am starting to hate the old get something for me and bring it back, I am hoping in the near future these type of “filler” quests will be revolutionised somehow, most of the things you fetched in this game Ikaros could have flown it back for you, rather then sit through a load screen or ride all the way back just to give a guy a stone **** (yep it’s a thing).    … Expand

I loved fighting Medusa and lions and bears. I loved that I could tame animals and have them fight by my side. I loved I could go underwater and fight sharks and swim next to a giant whale. This game has so many epic moments. But it is a grind and it can get repetitive. I haven't played any of the DLC but I beat the main game. I don't like how all these games are charging extra for DLC's these days.. And one last thing. The game did freeze three times in total on my PS4 Slim. I played the game over 100 hours so its not a big issue but it's something to mention. And all three times it started freezing when I was surrounded by a lot of enemies at a fort. I think the game was trying to keep track of too many enemies at once. Also the pointless micro transactions aren't needed at all in this game. You can earn all the best armor and weapons in game. That's a great thing actually. The bad thing is the XP Booster... If it wasn't for the freezing and XP Booster/pointless micro transactions I would give this game a 9.5/10 Also you can play on easy, medium and hard difficulty. I played on easy because the game is level gated. Playing on easy allows you to beat enemies a couple levels above you. On medium and hard you can't really. So in my opinion playing on easy can be easy but it can also be hard if you try to fight enemies a couple levels above you. I beat Medusa at level 46. It took me 45 minutes. So it just depends on how you want to play. I like that the game gives you this kind of flexibility. . 8/10… Expand

    Odyssey latches on to the RPG elements Origins laid down, but takes it to greater heights. From the enriched Greek Isles, to the stories of mythical creatures and gods, Odyssey is much more immersed than its predecessor.

From the enriched Greek Isles, to the stories of mythical creatures and gods, Odyssey is much more immersed than its predecessor.

    One of the biggest features was the gender of the Canon Protagonist (As the opposite could also be chosen). Being female makes a headline in an ever changing landscape in games, while this is nothing new for this franchise, it has certainly cemented the modern standards of the genre. Gender besides though Odyssey has lived up to my expectation is many other ways.

    The vast open world and well detailed environments, have shone as its core features. Scaling the rock faces of forested cliff sides or that of the stone embodiment of Poseidon really stuck to the Assassin Creed roots. Though with the options of horseback and ship sailing, traversal felt better to combat yourself, rather than fast travel.

    Odyssey is very much an improvement over Origins, executing more in depth RPG options both in dialogue and actions. Though this was much a positive, to me the RPG influences as of late are creating a different sort of game. I enjoy RPG’s and while this is not native to the genre in terms of a personal custom character, it really carries that pride. However, from the hoarding of gear and levelling mechanics, to RPG branching story arcs, the core of what Assassins Creed was, has worn away.

    In conclusion then, Odyssey excels as a new addition to the franchise. It capitalises on all the things Origins had, and even pushes the boat out further. Though while it excels in what is has achieved, this new form of Assassins Creed will not carry the same effect as I think older instalments once did.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed is back but this time in the period of heroes and legends. Ubisoft decided to go to Ancient Greece with this installment. I couldn't be happier. This is the only time period they've done that had me excited to roam around. This isn't a perfect game, but it is one of the better in the series.

    The story is one of revenge or redemption. You play as either Alexios or    Assassin's Creed is back but this time in the period of heroes and legends. Ubisoft decided to go to Ancient Greece with this installment. I couldn't be happier. This is the only time period they've done that had me excited to roam around. This isn't a perfect game, but it is one of the better in the series.

    The story is one of revenge or redemption. You play as either Alexios or Kassandra and you are a mercenary. This game takes place during the Peloponnesian War when Athens and Sparta are at each others throat. While that is the setting in the story you aren't an Assassin nor become one. The villains aren't the Templars they are the Cult of Kosmos which are basically the Templars. This game feels more like an Assassin's Creed knock off than a new entry. That all being said I felt like the characters where so much more engaging than in the previous few games. I liked the protagonist, and loved main antagonist. I won't say who they are, but the main antagonist hasn't really ever been this good. I liked the story a lot and the ending was satisfying while definitely leaving room for DLC.

    The games world feels alive... most of the time. Battles happen, and animals will attack NPCs without you being there, but they lose me with character models. I saw the same NPCs all over it could have use a bit of variety.

    The game does play a lot like last years Assassin's Creed Origins except more refined. All the pain in the ass things are gone like mandatory assassination kills or getting around is easier, and leveling up is more manageable. I enjoyed playing this game, but my one issue is that it is too long. Not everyone will see this others might want more. I just think putting 30+ hours into Assassin's Creed is a bit much. They force you to do side quest because it has the mission layout as Origins. That style of game is fine hell my favorite game The Witcher 3 has that. The difference is in the setting. I like ancient Greece, but it isn't a mystical land with monsters and creature littered throughout it. All you find is animals and people. ( You do fight mythical creatures late game and they are amazing fights, but that's at least 25 hours into it.) I just wish I could blow through the story without needing to screw around grinding because I did enjoy the hell out of the story. Regardless combat is fun and the abilities make you feel like the great Achilles. This game also doubles down on play how you want. I skip an entire rebellion quest because I went in and just killed the guy they were after.

    Overall the game is a fun game and if you want to spend three months with a single game Assassin's Creed has you covered. It maybe too long for my taste but I still had a great time playing it. The ability to play how you want is more emphasized is this one you can take people out in anyway you chose. The choice in the story felt like my decisions had consequences, but I am not entirely sure if they did or not. If you like the series this is a must I give it a BUY.    … Expand

I like Kassandra, if she were real I’d pee my pants but still be a bit in love, so good job. I like exploring too much so I’m not too far in the story but it’s okay so far.

    Considering what other AC’s have been like (I haven’t played Origins yet, mind you) this is about as much fun for me as Black Flag although I miss hunting big fish, animal hunting is a bit meh (even Legendary beasts), ship wars are less fun although boarding is much better with the improved engine. Yeah I recommend it but I’ll admit it could be better. The map is huge btw, so no need to go bigger next time, it just leads to more unused space or space for mindless sidequests. Leveling should go much faster with the current cap and considering it’s a full price AAA game (got the gold edition...) I don’t like that buying an XP boost was a good idea if you catch my drift.

    Edit: and the modern day story sucks and definitely doesn’t make the game more fun. Ubisoft should finally, finally get some balls and drop it. It’s just holding Assassin’s Creed games back since at least Black Flag, which is the first AC I played.    … Expand

    I haven't played any assassins creeds for a while, but this game is a warm welcome. Don't get me wrong because it's a whole different game. You are not a real assassin anymore. Quests are a bit repetitive sometimes but the game is much more of an rpg with customisations and upgrading.

    I've invested 700 hours in this game and with 3 playthroughs with Kassandra and one with Alexios.

    The story is a lot better than in Origins. The combat is harder. I ragequitted several times until I managed to adapt to the new combat. Be aware there is a forced enemy level scaling that you cannot turn off unlike you had the option in Origins.

    Be aware there is a forced enemy level scaling that you cannot turn off unlike you had the option in Origins. Ubi added easy, normal and hard mode after many people complained.
    Sometime, especially if you are surrounded my many enemies it's better to run away and hide and try again.

    Every microtransaction is also avalaible for free through the ingame orichalum. Tho it is a lot of griending and luck needed to get the rare stuff from the shop. They upped the chance on getting the legendary items on the oikos store with one of their latest updates.
    There is no need to buy them in the helix store.
    Or check the Nexus mods page, just don't give Ubi your money for microtransactions.

    I get the feeling that many negative reviews are from oldschool AC gamers that can't or wont adapt to the new gamestyle. I've played AC 1,2, Black Flag, Rogue and Origins so far.

    The romance options are more of a fling rather than a serious approach like we are used from the Mass Effect series. But this is Ubi's first approach and with enough feedback they might be doing better in the next game.

    Also the Dev's take in a lot of feedback from the gamer community and this is awesome.

    So in conclusion this game is worth it's money and has imo a lot of replay value.

    If you play your Kasslexios as gay or asexual you should keep your finger from the first DLC (legacy of the first blade) for several reasons.
    If you wnat to know more about that you better go and spoil yourself before you decide to buy it or not.

    The 2nd DLC (fate of atlantis) is okay.    … Expand

    AC franchise at it's best, and I mean "Brotherhood" like best.
    * The story and setting is great, felt a bit dull in origins, but Odyssey sets new standard.
    * All the good stuff from previous release + more, especially in fight mechanics and f-ckin sailing - this makes it way more fun than previous releases. * The game is massive, I'm like 20h+ in the story and there's way more... my    AC franchise at it's best, and I mean "Brotherhood" like best.

    * The game is massive, I'm like 20h+ in the story and there's way more... my guess for the main plot is around 100h+ easily, skipping all the simple quests that OCD patients love to solve.

    I've played spider man, and shadow of tomb raider recently - those look poor in the comparison, especially content wise. I wouldn't believe any of those 0 o 1 scores as it's just trolls trying to push their own agenda - the fun the game gives is definitely worth the price. For me the only reason It's not 10 out of 10 is that it's not as immersive as The Witcher III, but I could easily put it next to God of War for example.    … Expand

    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]
