    Mega big generic world without heart and soul. It's more like a copy & paste temple simulator than an Assassin's Creed game.

Character animations (running) are cheap and awful. Combat system is boring, even the older combat system made more fun. Story is mediocre. Voice acting sucks because of the accent. I'm a super big Assassin's Creed fan and I love Ezio and the all the old games. Odyssey? Sorry, but no. Ubisoft = Quantity over quality nowadays. If the next AC won't be different the franchise is dead for me.… Expand

    This definitley one game you need in your collection. It has action,fighting,puzzles and very good story, the game play is right on point and the controls follow as well. The Assassin's Creed collection has gone through numerous story's and times in the past, and with every game the improvement is shown. Looking forward to the next installment! Must have!

    However. I can say that with a lot of assurance, not just the hype of them oment.
    Assassins creed odyssey has been the best assassins creed game I ever played!!!

    I love the game, the more freedom of choices, something I understand didn't exist in previous games, but I like it now.

    I love the combat, the parry, the skills and passives added.
    I love the naval battles brought back
    I love the athens sparta war, and how you can influence who controls a region, it is so fun.
    and of the best features is the enhanced mercenary system from origins. I love h ow they hunt you down if you become notorious. I love how they try to mess with you even when you are doing other quests or other afairs, it adds so much more depths and longevity to the game!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All this effort in the game and fine details, graphics, etc. But they still can't fix the story lines. All this build up to a finale which ends in two women sobbing, other endings are also complete garbage. You don't care much about the characters at all. Seems like they stuffed too many women characters in the game too. I'm a female gamer and don't understand why they keep forcing women characters in the game that are so boring and historically inaccurate. It's an ok game, but the story will greatly disappointe you.… 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

    As a huge fan of stealth games, this one is the most addicting. I played this for more hours than I'm happy to admit and absolutely loved it. The story and side missions definitely get repetitive and repurposed but the RPG options are endless. The DLC was great as well.

    These games do not need to make there game worse but adding this balance breaking nonsense into single player games, increase the ticket price by £10 if you really need and give a full balanced experience.

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

Edit: The story starts of good but ends in dissapointment and headscratching, just awful. And speaking of open world, the lighting in this game is just complete and utter trash.
    Combat barely works right, generally be happy if the game actually responds to inputs. So when you play on nightmare and everything has to be timed properly have fun. Especially against Boss type enemies you realize that the developer never considered how this would work with their combat system. Plenty of attacks are entirely undogable, you can't doge with the short version and staying on the button takes longer than the time between start and execution of their attack. Loads of fun. Even against normal enemies the combat is somewhere between annoying and boring. At least in origins it was something new, and it was definitely better than this. Combat for the most part is simply designed to be frustrating and take as long as possible. This game is a waste of time on every level.
    The ships could have been a fun feature but combat is boring, like a worse version of the fourth game, and customization laughable.
    Fighting the games version of the Templars is pretty boring and by the numbers with no effort to make it more engaging and interesting.
    And the fact that you can't control your horses speed is a very small thing, but it is just grating after a while.
    Stealth play is also ruined in this game, since you can't even kill most normal enemies with assassionations and definitely not your targets. So you always end up having all out fights with all guards and mercenaries around, or pick them off one by one which to me was always an incredibly boring way to do it.
    This whole thing is basically as fancy walking simulator, although even most of those are a more interesting experience than this game. And to all the people giving this a good rating, you're the reason we can't have nice things. The reason crap like this gets produced over and over again in the laziest way possible.    … Expand

    So I hadn’t played an Assassin’s Creed game since the first one... as it simply bored me to tears but the ambient Greek/Greek Myth angle tickled my pickle so I gave it a go. Thought it was great, looks great, sounds great, plays almost great (still very good) and is huge. Took me 110 hours to plat and now looking forwards to the dlc.

    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]
