    Very Big map, but extremely empty. Story is fine, Combat gets old and overall just Not a Great game.

    It’s pretty bad. Horrible gameplay, the world is way too colorful and combat is n realist. Pretty much opposite what Assassins creed used to be.

    Better than Valhalla in every way so it should be rated higher. Valhalla has the exact same micro transactions yet people brushed it aside this time around. If Odyssey was review bombed for said reason than Valhalla should be too, especially when the game is even more boring and slower to get through. Valhalla made me appreciate Odyssey more.

    I thought the story in this game was absolutely amazing and enthralling. I also thoroughly enjoyed the combat, and the world is very beautiful

    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"

    I enjoy a bit this game but it’s like an assassins creed origins setted in greek. This game recycles most of their mechanic feeling that you are playing the same game of the past year. A game of that caracteristics cannot be considered a good game.

    Worst game ever, the only Assassin's Creed element in it is the animus, If this can be called an Assassin's Creed.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is without a doubt the worst game of the series.

From all the microtransactions that are basically forced upon a player to have an enjojable experience, poorly designed combat system that sucks all the joy out of a player and the fact that it has very little to do with actual assassin's creed, there are not many positive thoughts I have about this game other than the actual setting and a generally good story with some mildly memorable characters. It is the first game in the series that I regret buying. Watching a walktrough of the story on youtube would have been a far better and cheaper option where I would have been spared grinding an empty world with mythological creatures and fire swords, that have no place in an ac universe, just to become a high enough level to progress trough the story.… Expand

    Il peggior capitolo della saga! Personaggio piatto, storia che non colpisce, bisogna livellare ed anche molto ripetitivo. Manca la possibilità di equipaggiare lo scudo in quell'epoca storica molto grave. Bella l'ambientazione.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This could be GOTY! Amazing to play, great storyline, great mechanics! This is the kind of game you can play for hours at stretch. I love the greek mythos and on the first impression, I thought, wow I can be Leonidas and I can be Themistocles. The game is not greedy. You can not purchase anything and yet be OP. The classification of gear (Common, rare, epic, legendary) is rewarding enough. The boss fights are draining, but the rewards are worth it. The game has a pretty good sense of humour too. Jesting with characters like Alkibiades and Socrates is quite funny. The perpetual Peloponnesian war never lets this game end and you can switch your allegiance at your whim! That's what a mercenary does right? The Skill tree is not too complicated and fun to use. The USP is the Sparta Kick, paying homage to Leonidas' legendary "This is Sparta"! I would've liked it if I could upgrade the Ship (going from a sailboat to the Black Pearl), but the ship's shape and size remain the same. There is always more than one way to achieve an objective. This AC would keep you hooked for hours with over 200+ hours of gameplay before the main quest line ends. Then again, you can still explore various island nations, do Bounty or side quests. Gameplay-wise, it's quite nice. Decent map pointers move mechanics are uniform and refreshing combat mechanics. You can't just pound your enemy into submission (maybe you can in the later stages of the game), you have to wait for the opportunity to attack. Fighting to run away from an OP enemy is also looks quite genuine. Customizing the gear and character and gear looks is sweet, one moment I am a greek hoplite, in next one I am a Persian assassin..ha! Fun right?
    My verdict: Please buy, you won't regret it!

    The game looks and plays like AC Origin.

    Huge and beautiful world with probably the best parkour in the video game industry but : - stupid level scaling (even with the option turn to the minimum) which take away all sense of character progression - anoying grinding if you want to keep your armor & weapon up to your current level - fetch quest with no real choice - factions are a joke:    The game looks and plays like AC Origin.

    Graphics very good
    But the gameplay is booooring and the missions are repetitive, the story is good but it will lost between leveling up and the irrelevant side quests

    Best game Ever. I understand that the game is different than the old AC games and that's why some old root hardcore AC fans react like kids. Get over it. RPG is the future.

    Great game with good interpretation of the Greek era. The bad point is the story of it, where the killers do not fit. however I consider that it is a game that you should not miss.

    GAMEPLAY: 8
    STORY: 7
    MUSIC:9
    VISUALS: 9

    PERSONAL SCORE: 9 !! A JEWEL !!

    I'm a fan so I can't take a real partisan vote. I am too biased in judgment. However, for the moment there has been a qualitative leap from Origins, a return to being research wanted it is a good return to the origin. A game that I still can't stop playing. I sincerely miss Altair .. but I am satisfied with the experience

    One of the weakest parts of the Assassin's Creed series. The gameplay of the game is similar to the previous part of the series - Origins. The game does not introduce anything new, except for a huge map with a bunch of all sorts of collective junk.

    Again, Ubisoft's worldbuilding is improving game by game. Greece is gorgeous to behold. I sunk 80 hours in this game just exploring, because everywhere you look is something exciting and stunning to see. Both Kassandra and Alexios are great assassins and the actors are both fantastic. The combat for me felt a little over complicated, and the plot felt too long for me to really get grippedAgain, Ubisoft's worldbuilding is improving game by game. Greece is gorgeous to behold.

    This game values quanity over quality. Everything in this game feels a bit uninspired there is no twists on the open world formula. Combat is decent but lacks fluidity. The story is decent but is too long and convoluted. The leveling makes the world hard to explore and enjoy it make the game too much of a grindfest

    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]
