    I understand what people say about it feeling less like an assassin game because particularly as you level up, you find you have to fight your way through places and it becomes less stealth and more a fighting game.

    The weapons and armor are fun but i would have liked a bit more variety in gear.

    Pegasus was a much needed add on to make travelling by horse much more accessible.

    Hunting down the Cult members was always fun and discovering secret areas and the sea exploration and ship battles reminded me of Black Flag, which was great.

    I think this game is far better than Origins and is maybe even my favourite AC to date. I'd definitely recommend the game.    … Expand

Odyssey builds further upon everything that origins did right about makes it better. Other than a few minor hiccups that are to be expected of a assassins creed game. This game went well above my expectations. I loved origins. But for some reason decided to skip out on odyssey, I had no rime or reason to not want to play it but for some reason, I just decided not too, but the Ubisoft sale was on PS4 and I got the gold edition for $40, and boy have I been missing out. I will list to you the pros of this game for me and then the cons.

    Pros- The game world is HUGE, absolutely **** massive, and the amount of things to do in it are ridiculously varied. Quests everywhere, Merc’s Hunting you down, forts to clear out and loot, cultists to identify and kill, naval battles to be had, conquest battles (which are like mini war zone areas) choosing to fight for Athens or Sparta, upgrading your spear, your ship, your armor and everything in between. Wacky side quests, romance, and everything in between that. The armor/weapon system in this game takes it the diablo way allowing you to transmogify any armor or weapon style that’s youve found before and boy is there ALOT of Styles you can mix and match. The new addition to add in “superpower”esk abilities is also great fun. The classic spartan kick that can send enemies FLYING and is ridiculously satisfying, summoning a ring of chaos that’s basically a whirlwind that sucks up and pushes enemies away from you. There are tons and tons of different skills to mix and match to fit your play style and you can have 8 equipped (12 if you count the archer abilities). The world is pretty god damn good looking it’s hard not to be impressed every time you synchronize a view point. Combat is fast and fluid and just challenging enough to keep you on your toes. Also each quest you do, almost anything you do will tell you what the rewards are for that specific mission/side mission/merc/cultist so you always know what you are getting. Naval battles are few and far apart but anytime you feel like you miss the high sea you can hunt down pirate ships, board them kill everyone and steal their treasure...or if you’re feeling merciful you can knock out almost any enemy in the game and hire them to be a lieutenant aboard your ship. Almost every time I do a mission I find something better than what I had before, you get a sense of always improving, always moving forward not once have I felt like I was stuck because of my gear or felt I was ill equipped, if you feel that way and some how DONT get any new gear from playing the game. Black smiths in the game will level up your weapons and armor to your current level so if you found a level 11 sword and find yourself at level 18 now and for some reason can’t find anything new and better. Head on over to a blacksmith to bring up your 213 damage sword to a 534 damage sword....for a few dracmae of course.

    Cons- the biggest complaint i have is the facial animations...rather just when they speak it can go from being ALRIGHT, to just god damn awful, I don’t know if Ubisoft heard of facial scan technology or not but I think it’s about time they invest in it. Another thing involving animation is the whole...weapons during a “kill cam” type situation where you execute someone or whatever is still kinda... ok, it really feels like your sword is going through a hollow enemy or something... it’s just not THAT satisfying. Don’t get me wrong it is better than what it used to be but if they Invested in some really solid decapitation style animations like the Witcher 3 did...this game would probably too 5 RPG games I’ve ever played. Moving on... for some strange reason if I get into a fight in a city or small village and I’m fighting guards or a merc, the citizens, the dogs the cows the cats and everything in between will also try and kill me for whatever reason? I’ve had a fight with a merc in a small town and the chicken across the road decided to jump in on the fight and try to kill me for whatever reason.

    Which brings me to my final point about all the fools complaining about microtrans, grow up. I have not spent a PENNY in the store and am getting along just fine. There are ALWAYS thing to do at your current level and all of them varied, you don’t need the XP booster or anything like that. If anything right now, Im a level or 2 OVER the recommended for the story missions. They don’t force you to buy anything. It is on the main menu of the game but unless you have the attention span of a squirrel or have the resolve of a heroin addict you can go through the game without opening that menu once. And either way all those items are obtainable IN GAME you don’t have to spend a penny to get the items you see in that store in the game. Of course they are more challenging to get but they made it fun by making you participate in daily and weekly quests.    … Expand

This game is well-made (mostly), grand in scale and thoroughly entertaining for hours on end.

    AC Odyssey has only one glaring drawback in my opinion. In contrast to Origins, the melee combat in Odyssey is subpar. And since melee combat may be the overriding component of one's play style, I considered scoring this one 9 out of 10. However, I feel this game deserves a 10 because everything aside from melee combat is class. Plus, if you're accurately spec'd for ranged combat and good with the bow, you can easily one or two-shot literally every non-boss enemy type in HARD mode - including mercenaries - using basic arrows. Therefore, making melee combat redundant. Moreover, the mechanics of ranged combat in Odyssey are vastly improved over Origins.

    At no point during my tens of hours of play was I interrupted by, forced to or felt the need to invest in a micro-transaction of any sort. All micro-transactions in AC Odyssey are neatly tucked away in a side menu - out of sight.

    It may or may not be true that one can't simply play through the main questline while ignoring side activities, due to alleged hurdles in levelling. I wouldn't know because I did a heck of a lot of side activities throughout. There are many different kinds of level-boosting side activities in AC Odyssey. Yes, the daily/weekly side quests posted on billboards are mostly monotonous. But, there are other side quests scattered throughout the world that play out similarly to those in Witcher 3. There is a lot to do in this game - moreso than in Origins. Nonetheless, I understand that some players may not have time for side activities.    … Expand

I personally love just picking a direction once the game loads and taking on any challenges I come across as I run, so this game rewards that kind of play in spades, as they have any number of locations such as forts, camps, ruins, and even the mansions of a country's leader that you can come across.

    The combat is extremely fun with the abilities you unlock as you level up. You can assign up to 8 melee and 4 ranged into your hot bars and use them as you build up adrenaline through combat. You can taylor your character to suit your play style via 3 different styles of combat be it ranged/bows, melee weapons from quick daggers to slower swords or spears to heavy maces and axes, or you can go stealthy and play as the original Assassin archetype. The abilities are augmented by weapons and armors that you can pick up throughout the game that have stats that help boost various combat stats.

    Character progression is cool at the surface, but it still feels a bit limited in the actual depth that you can advance. The mastery option they patched in later definitely adds some depth to it, but I'd like to see them split out from just 3 trees and maybe have a tree for each weapon type.

    The story overall is good. It's not great, but it definitely is good enough to keep you engaged as you travel across Ancient Greece. The voice acting is pretty good in the main story bits, but on the random quests that are just there for extra experience as you take out locations, it's pretty mundane.

    Many of the regions also have their own quest line that tells its own self contained story, and i think that is great. In fact I wish more open world games would give up trying to tell one giant narrative and focus on doing this approach.

    However, one of the things that I think they struggle with, is the fact that they try to do TOO much at once in one game. Starting with the Story. There isn't just one main story line of quests, but 2 or 3 going on at once.

    You also are dealing with 3 primary game play systems as well. You have the normal "on the ground" game where you go and fight enemies/targets and gain the spoils of said victories to advance. Or you can hop on a ship and spend almost all of your time on there, fighting your target(s) of choice on the open waters and even advance and customize your ship as you go with the spoils of defeated enemy ships. Or you can go and pick a side in the conflict between the Athenians and Spartans and involve yourself in their large scale battles. The problem is, if you just want to focus on just one of those systems, you are sometimes forced to participate in other ones to advance the story, which you have to do as some abilities/unlocks only happen at certain points in the story.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite games of 2018. However, I do need to stress that I'm a huge fan of Open World games, so this is purely based on that. If you need a more focused experience, this game will actually have the opposite effect as they really do have an issue with staying focused to the point that even I wasn't head over heals about.    … Expand

I would say the starting of the story line could of been different, but the male and female are exactly the same going through.

I have nearly 60 hours on this game and I can't decide if it is good or bad, so I go with mixed.

    This is the first Assassin’s Creed game to be more RPG like, where you choose who you play as, what kind of gear they wear, and what choices they make (some greatly affect the game more than others). It has reduced present day (probably makes up around 35 minutes of screentime for the average player), supernatural and powerful items, clothing and weapons with different abilities and traits and a vast open world with tons of stuff to do. The final part is where the game shines, but also where it is at its most issues.

    It starts out mostly good, where you get to choose your character after playing as the legendary Leonidas where you build up your character. Then after some hard choices and three hours of gameplay, you get your ship where you can explore anywhere that is around your level. Then you are sent to a few islands where you have to do a few side quests and more choices. Then go to another land with more side quests and a few story. Then more and more stuff etc. It gets kind of repetitive though still a little fun. Etc. etc. But in the later game, the repetitive stuff feels much less fun and like a total grind. Only when you reach a certain level, does you feel really powerful, like you can defeat all these guys and beat the game! You have three main Odysseys to complete that they put a lot of work into. But after beating all 3 of them, it doesn't feel totally satisfying as it should, but more rewarding than not.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey has many strengths and weaknesses. The strengths revolve around its open world, great graphics, character design, etc. The weaknesses are the stuff in it that is just too much and makes the game much more long than it needs to be. The other biggest problem is Microtransactions, which just shouldn't be in any single-player game! Just too much stuff!! (which is funny since many games are too short, this game is too long). I had fun playing this but would prefer less grinding and to return to its roots.    … Expand

    A somewhat improvement over Origins. This game is very addicting and feels more fun than origins since you get to make your own decisions. The setting is also a lot better and armour in this game is really cool. Only issues I have is the running animations for Alexios look pretty weird and the game can get pretty grindy when trying to reach level 50.

    However Odyssey does it right. Nothing is needed to win the game, its just added for people who want a fast progress. Basicly a cheat-tool for hasty people. I never once came across a point of lacking ingredients to upgrade or build anything. So for those who seek a answer to the question: "Is it worth buying AC Odyssey?", let me make something clear. This is one of the greatest open world games out there atm. with a compelling story playing in ancient Greece. Its defenitely worth the money!

    And one more word to those finding it tedious to advance in the story:
    It seems youve never played a AC before.
    Yes Odyssey requires a lot more than the games before, but its also far greater and bigger and has so much more to show, what kind of player goes into an open world without swaying away into on or the other sidequest or dungeon?!

    No other game besides maybe skyrim gave me this much gameplay time and still felt natural and not too repetitive. Im currently at 70 Hours game time and still not finished.
    I can really recommend this game to anybody interested in open world games and astonishing story and game play.

    The only downside i found in this game was extremely long travel times. As the Map is this huge, it kinda is tedious to travel to places that dont have a quicktravel option. And the other one is orichalcum being super rare and the mission kinda bad for it, and unlike Origins you cant use your endgame money you dont need anymore to buy the chests that give you purple or legendary items.    … Expand

    At first, the game will amaze you with the visual fidelity of everything. The detail is incredible, even the vast world doesn’t lose its beauty, this is a game that if you have a 4K tv with HDR you should at least rent it to see what the visuals can be. With that being said, it is visually appealing but there are issues that will make this game, not for everyone.

With that being said, it is visually appealing but there are issues that will make this game, not for everyone.

    The graphics are one thing but another thing I felt a bit overwhelming was the sheer size of everything. Don’t get me wrong, having a vast open world is nice but here it just felt too big. There is too much to do and while some might consider that a plus, the issue is that the quests that you’re given just don’t feel that different enough. At first, it’s not too bad. It’s simple enough but after about 25 or so hours, it gets really repetitive with the same tasks, the main story missions end up feeling very similar and while there are a few good distractions and some of the side quests, while similar to the main story in term of how they’re put together and the tasks they do but some of them were entertaining.

    The gameplay is fun but it gets old, due to the copy and paste nature of the missions. Pretty much it comes down to either, raiding a base, engaging in a skirmish or killing certain targets. There is some flexibility with how things are done and while I get it, it is an Assassin’s Creed game it just felt like there just wasn’t enough variety. The Witcher 3 this is not.

    On PS4 pro it played fine, about 30 FPS without any major hiccups that I could see. Looks great in HDR and is truly a game worth getting if you love pretty graphics. On the other hand, there is a bit of loading when you first start the game. Nothing too bad. Less then a minute I think. After that, the game loads pretty briskly, there is brief loading when you talk to an NPC but it’s not a deal breaker at all. Sometimes the game glitches out. Textures won’t load sometimes and there is a bit of pop in. Sometimes the NPC’s you’re supposed to follow just don’t do what they’re supposed to do. That just requires a quick restart of the game. Annoying but not a huge problem.

    The main issue is the pacing. The game is just too long for its own good. Realistically, it should’ve ended at the 20-hour mark and then keep it going with side content. The plot just drags on. It starts off fine enough, it’s interesting and until you get to about 20-25 hours in and then it just seems to drag its feet. Don’t get me wrong, it is an interesting story, but the pacing killed it. Throw that in with a lack of variety in the story and you pretty much see everything that there is by about 20 hours in. Another problem is it’s grind heavy. Even with the exp booster microtransaction and playing on Easy mode it becomes a grind fest. To grind the best way is to do side quests but they just become so boring and monotonous you probably won’t want to.

    Due to the pacing issues with the main story and the grind-heavy nature of it and that you almost need to purchase a microtransaction just to have an edge in the grinding and even THEN it becomes very grind heavy and too repetitive I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. These things could easily be fixed in an update but right now? I don’t really recommend it. It could’ve been amazing but with some tweaks to the story’s structure, make grinding less of a chore and having more variety, it could’ve easily been one of the best historical RPG’s in recent years.

    Is it horrible? No, and it does have an audience. If you tend to like your games to be a bit more structured and like your narratives to not drag on though, it’s not for you.

    If you’re the type that only likes to buy a few games a year and wants a game that will last you and don’t mind repetitive missions and content, give it a go. It’ll probably be what you like.

    Other than that, I personally didn’t like how much it dragged on, especially after the 20-hour mark.    … Expand

    155 часов интересной игры. Ориджин зашел намного хуже, не понимаю как он может нравится вообще. Ужасно скучный сюжет, тупой геймплей. Здесь, хоть и немного однообразно захватывать крепости/лагеря, но интересно осваивать все локи, может еще потому что на них можно было найти улики к культистам. Челленджи с мификал чудищами и легендарными животными вообще очень понравились.155 часов интересной игры. Ориджин зашел намного хуже, не понимаю как он может нравится вообще.

    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]
