    AC:Odyssey is boring and the more it tries to be a jack of all trades, the more it becomes clear that it's a master of none. I can't play this game for more than an hour because gameplay and quest design feels like a monotonous chore and the cut scenes and story are boring and uninspired.

    This game is not Assassins Creed, not in the terms we have come to expect. It instead seems to focus on a piece of Eden "very powerful weapon/tool" in the Assassins Creed universe, but makes no mention of Assassins or Templars. The series seems to be stepping more and more away from the genre that made it successful and into a full on RPG, which is fine. Except in order to make an RPG successful you need a great leveling system and an amazing story. Only problem is that every quest in the game is the same. Go to X and kill Y soldiers or go to Y and get X loot. It is repetitive to the extreme. The story is small and seems distant to all the repetitive quests. This game goes back to what made Black Flag so successful and that is the open seas and sea battles. That again seems distant and forced as it seems 90% of quests and story is on the main land.
    Do not get me started on the micro transactions. I spent $140 on the ultimate edition but am still trying to figure out what that bought me aside from the base game and some gear that is level 1 and is to expensive to upgrade unless you use real money to buy crafting materials. I have spent an additional $70 on maps, and boosters. Things that should have come with that $140 ultimate edition. Yes boosters are required in this game unless you want to spend hours getting one level past 25. Some people might say but leveling is part of an RPG. True it is... but not like this.

    This game is just Origins with a new coat of paint, but terrible story.

    This is the worst Assassins Creed game I have ever played and it hurts me to say that about my beloved series. The only reason it gets a 5 is because of the name Assassins Creed.    … Expand

    Although the game can be fun at times, especially when fighting multiple bounty hunters, raiding camps and big battles, the story is full of inconsistencies which is not helped by the abysmal voice acting of the protagonists and mediocre and sometimes exaggerated animations.
    By a simple comparison, this game makes Unity look like a million bucks.
    I would recommend waiting for a sale on this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to love this game,but,overall,all of its elements made it too hard to actually love it.I have been playing games in the franchise ever since the original,and the evolution from that to this is gigantic.On the surface,it is the same with its predecessor,AC Origins,but it changes something important: The grind.I would not mind so much that it takes hours over hours to get to level 50 fore example,if not for the purchaseable XP boosters.Such things should not exist in full-priced 3A games.Never.The missions required to level up are repetitive too. Let's talk about the setting:Ancient Greece.The graphics which turn this place to life are amazing,and still hold up very well to this day.The map is very big,and filled with places to steal your gaze.As for the marine environment,it could have done much better,like AC4 or even Rogue.It does not.Activities at sea are limited.Ship combat feels as if it is not fresh,it is very similar to other ship combat styles in their games.The fighting system between Athens and Sparta is alright,but gets repetitive.The mercenary system is a welcome addition,reminds me of AC Rogue in some way.
    Combat is very similar to Origins combat,and it feels repetitive very soon. Storywise,it is not bad.It all blends with the already customary historical characters and the Cult system,which are great for supporting the story.Although the story is alright,it lacks a true narrative,most dialogues are easily skippable. To me,it is not a full price worth it game,but can be bough on sale and had fun playing it    … Expand

I like the game, but I think that the stealth not being a part of ASSASSIN's Creed, you know a game about assassins who sneak up on their prey and kill them quietly is kinda sad, but I do like the theme of Ancient Greece, though I wish it didn't become more the Witcher 3 in terms of mythology and RPG like level system, before, you saw a tough enemy? Fine just come up with a tactic and attack him, now everything's about levels. The animations unfortunately like most games nowadays are pretty horrendous, but overall it's a good game but not really an Assassin's Creed game… Expand

The bland locations, where you go only because it is marker on the map with possible loot and xp which you need both to grind in between story parts to be able to keep up with escalating level of enemies, was just dull and incredible boring. I honestly couldn't squeeze an ounce of joy out of it.
    I might come to it back during Christmas and give it one more try, but after the 40 hours, the game didn't show me anything worth remembering and I have a feeling that after a year or two, I won't recall much more than it was in ancient Greece. And that's coming from a person who's gone through all previous instalments with platinum trophy.    … Expand

(This is long review, you can lose time here)
    In this game, the concept of "brotherhood" is almost forgotten, there are no blades and especially hoods here, stealth has completely degraded, during the hidden murder our hero instead of graceful movements shoves an enema into the enemy, it's just ridiculous, I understand the indignation of fans of this series, which partly I am also.Ubisoft has a brand: Assassin's Creed, so they are trying to squeeze all the money out of it that can be deflated. The ancestor's DNA in the new part was “damaged”, because we can choose its gender, and also independently choose the development of its history, what I do not fully understand. Is the essence of the game not to KNOW the story of the ancestor, and not to change it? I think it will soon be possible to choose not only gender, but also race, gender, sexual orientation, isn't it? After all, everyone understands that you want this, come on.
    The combat mechanics have changed, and for the better, but still it is wooden, slow and inconvenient, and besides, it is not spectacular, have you really not seen the mechanics of Bloodborne or Dark Souls? God Of War, Spiderman after all. In terms of plot, I am ready to applaud the developers, thank you so much that the series has somehow moved a little. In the new part of the plot is not, we just play for a hero who is interested in this life only money, Clint Eastwood from the world of games. The game also has a large number of historical figures, the game is making attempts to enlighten you, descriptions of various architectural monuments, palaces and theaters have been added to the game. But from the changes I saw little of what was new, only the graphic component changes in the game, and this is great, the game is very beautiful in truth, the spirit and beauties of Ancient Greece are transmitted fantastically, I am pleased with it.    … Expand

    This is a game I enjoyed very much initially, and I didn't think I'd spend nearly as much time with it as I did.

Ubisoft's single players games lately have surprised me with how much they, as a publisher and variety of development studios, have learned in what makes a game fun. However, there are some poor choices that hamper what could have been a great experience in open world game design.

    What really blows me away about this game is the presentation. All of Greece is amazing to look at, and when the sun sets in certain areas, casting a palpable atmosphere upon the game's excellently-modeled foliage and buildings. The visuals really deserve more praise than I've seen, even if they're not the absolute best in AAA gaming; they have a way in drawing the player into its world. Characters seem convincingly-modeled to me, their animations are par the course and don't seem janky, and have poly counts befitting a AAA detail-focused developer such as Ubisoft. In particular, I like the designs for all the armor and weapons in the game; I'm clueless if they're period-accurate, but they are yet another element of the game that draws me in. The way the gear (weapons, armor) looks and knowing how much of it there is in the game provides a decent reward for exploring the game's world, in principle. This is where we run into a problem: the game's level-scaling. Most gear you find is scaled to your level, which is fine, but makes it so older, more beloved sets of armor can quickly become outdated to sate the game's padded stat system. It's a numbers game, and that means you'll find yourself switching gear around to have more defense and do more damage if you are like me and prefer playing efficiently rather than stylishly. Luckily, mismatched sets of gear don't look bad together, and there are ways to upgrade sets of gear that aren't feasible to wear anymore at the blacksmith (just note that the cost of resources and drachmae, the in-game currency, may not be worth the effort if you know you're going to pick up something almost as good in the next half hour).

    To iterate on this being a "numbers game," as mentioned earlier: enemies can have a baffling amount of HP compared to you on the game's hardest difficulties, which makes the early game both frustrating and more fun. What makes it frustrating is the knowledge that one mistake could cost you 90% of your health bar if you're fighting something, or someone, a few levels above you with one attack. Fortunately, the game's combat system is surprisingly simple, yet effective at learning quickly. The best advice I can think to give for the early game is to get your parry-timing down, the game's combat lives and dies by your reflexes. Nothing is overly unfair if you play the game normally and aren't looking to try fighting things tens of levels above you (a certain Cyclops I encountered comes to mind). The game can feel bloated thanks to enemies having a lot of health, even with the level scaling set to "default". If Ubisoft made things have less HP in the next Assassin's Creed, it would certainly be an improvement, as the way things are, leveling feels unsatisfying when nothing is really below your level, only above it.

    I found the open world in this game to be decent, though it is designed in a way that could use a lot of improvement. It's too big, simply put. There's only so much variation you can do with a world of this size, and it shows; there's lot of gorgeous, yet empty land for Alexios to walk across. This is aided by the game's acoustic guitar-laden score, but knowing you're probably going to trek over another hill to find another cave with the same assets as the last six you visited ruins what could have been a far, better experience had Ubisoft gone for a more focused game map. What breaks up the monotony is the game's wildlife and enemies, often you'll see bears fighting lions out in the wild, only for some soldier to stroll by and get attacked. The game's world, for our current generation of consoles, can certainly feel alive at times, despite the emptiness. Shooting deer, and hunting other animals makes traversing ancient Greece more fun, but it's still a band-aid on a wound that doesn't have to be there with a little more work on Ubisoft's part. Enemy camps are fun to dismantle but it wasn't long before I started feeling as if I was doing the same thing over and over again. This is helped out by the player progression of the game; using ability points to learn and improve skills gives players new and fun ways to dispatch enemies, be it through stealth, or range, or running in to start a brawl.

    The variety of quests shares a similar issue as above; there is a problem with variety, but dialogue is on-point and often funny. It's a game that gives great first impressions but holds up less and less as you keep playing it. Since writing, I've played Origins and am saddened that this was basically a downgrade in every way. Play Origins instead.    … Expand

I bought it and I can firmly say it is my least favorite assassin's creed game and by far one of the laziest rpgs I've ever played. This is not an 'assassin's' game. People say this all the time because it is true. It is a knock off witcher that fails in all aspects compared to the witcher. All the enemies are sponges, you get barely any experience (in hopes that this will push you to buy the time savers created by crappy corporate Ubisoft), and they're all the same recycled enemies. The Open world is beautiful but empty. The naval combat is annoying and tedious and does not have the same charm Black flag did. The rpg elements are weak and lazy especially the loot system. It feels like God of War (2018) system which was probably the biggest detriment to that game. However the story is the worst apsect of this game. I've never played a AAA game with such crappy voice acting till now. Hell, even Mass effect Andromeda had better voice acting. Alexios and Kassandra sound horrible and the other characters are grating. The comedy is immature and are practically Dad jokes, and the story is one of the worst stories i've ever seen. It takes a basic premise and somehow fails to accomplish anything meaningful with it. Kassandra and Alexios are both stale characters as the protagonist but shine as Demos. You see Ubisoft was lazy with Kassandra and didn't want to vary her story from Alexios to truly show what happened to women in Greece instead it feels more like a skin. You pick the protagonist skin by which one you like more and nothing changes. The story had so many cut out points and the hidden blade dlc should've been in the main game in the first place. Romance is worse than even the crappiest Bioware games because they're practically one night stands with no attachement to any of the characters. In addition to this I felt not attachement to any of the characters in this game. Not only due to crappy writing but because of how spaced out the story missions were. By the time I wanted to do a story quest 5-15 hours had already passed since I did the last one. Side quests were glorified fetch quests or bounty quests which everyone already hates. I cannot see how people think this game is superior to origins, which not only had fun combat with enemies that were not sponges, a great story, other than some glaring plotholes, and the crappy modern day, and an amazing protagonist. Odyssey, however, fails in all aspects. It had a crappy protagonist, a horrible modern day, a horrible story, and many plot holes, and horrible combat. They want this game to be the next witcher, it never will be.… Expand

    I remember getting the first Assassins Creed game back in 2007. It was the first of its kind. Despite it being repetitive as all hell, it was a great game. Since then, the franchise has had a dodgy path of hit and misses. It seemed like they finally found their stride in Black Flag in 2013. The gameplay was tight and the addition of sailing your own ship was a lot of fun. Not only that,I remember getting the first Assassins Creed game back in 2007. It was the first of its kind.

The gameplay was tight and the addition of sailing your own ship was a lot of fun. Not only that, you had decent storytelling, a brilliant soundtrack and some amazing environments. It felt like this was the right direction for the franchise.

    Take us now to 2018, with the release of Assassins Creed Oddyssey. From years of trial and error, Ubisoft decides to throw that out the window and make a whole new experience, using the same franchise. Here enters a poor mans take on Witcher 3. A game that takes place in a stupendously massive map, where every island, town and NPC is exactly the same. It was like the world was made by copy and pasting the same assets. The story was fairly simple; travel across Greece in a quest to find your parents, with a lot of distractions in between. My issue was that almost every character you come across, is void of personality or likeability. Even the protagonist that you're playing as, has an air of arrogance that becomes irritating. I found myself skipping the vast amounts of dialogue, when talking to any of these characters, as they never had anything interesting to say. Some of the coice acting in this game, is what I had the biggest issue with. There are a few characters that sounded like the meerkats from the adverts. But the worst of them all is thhe brother in this game. He sounds like a really cheesy baddy from an old Bond film. It was so cringe, I had to turn he volume down whenever he spoke. These draw backs are what stopped me from liking this game. And by the time I got to the end, I was treated to an ending that did not justify the amount of hours it took to get there.

    The gameplay is the one thing that kept me going with his game but even then, it was a mess. Each area is segregated by level; if you're a level 24 but walk into an area that is for level 30, then you're screwed. Even the wildlife will destroy you. I found this very frustrating, as the game funnelled me down one specific path, where I had to do serious grinding to progress to the next part. This game is a checklist of chores and it sucks the fun out of it. It's a problem that Ubisoft have in all of their games. That sense of grinding with repetitive tasks, in order to progress to the next level.

    I found this game deeply flawed and one of the weaker games of the franchise. I wish Ubisoft had taken the Black Flag formula and made a game that was the best of them all, but instead we're now playing a poor mans RPG, with equally mediocre writing and gameplay.    … Expand

    I have never played a game with a world as big as Odyssey's yet feel so empty.

    On the one hand, really going into the different islands and looking into the lore can add life to the open world, but it is tedious and the result isn't enjoyable unlike in FromSoftware games.

    On the one hand, really going into the different islands and looking into the lore can add life to the open world, but it is tedious and the result isn't enjoyable unlike in FromSoftware games. You could explore, but it's just boring. The mythical creature fights were a solid, fun challenge but what wasn't were ordinary citizens and their dumb A.I. as well as the flawed mercenary system. RPG elements aside, Odyssey just wasn't as fun as its predecessor, and in terms of characters and story Odyssey at least helped me to enjoy Bayek and his personal journey in Origins some more. The game certainly looks pretty, but the sound and music don't offer much to enhance your experience with the game.

    Overall, Odyssey is a statement that Ubisoft should go back to its roots with Assassin's Creed and its combat and story that helped to define our generation.    … Expand

    Um jogo pobre, não começaria depois de ter visto como "genérico" ele é.
    História fraca, missões secundárias genéricas, mundo morto, só tem gráficos.

    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]
