    I don´t understand hate for this game. I absolutely love greek world and this game is just so good at showing the world back then. You can meet great characters in history. Gameplay is fun with supernatural abilities and graphics are really nice too. This game especially shines in dialogues which there are so many because of lots of quests its like a big movie.

Open world is super big but sometimes a little hollow which is probably my only bad feeling about the game. Overall AC Odyssey is ancient greek world simulator where you are demigod just like in legends from this era.… Expand

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey, I liked the game in every way. It's a real pleasure to play it and spend free time in it! So I would definitely recommend it!

    Pros
    - massive map that does not need loading screens between islands
    Cons - assassination damage builds are completely useless - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button    Pros

    Cons
    - assassination damage builds are completely useless
    - assassination button being mapped the same as the interact button is probably the dumbest idea I have seen in a long time
    - brings back the Origins style assassinations, where if anybody is two levels higher than you, pressing the assassination button takes five percent of their HP
    - the story is forgettable
    - the side stories are completely forgettable
    - the spongy enemies are back and it is even worse now, as some of the Mercenaries that come after you can take five minutes of straight DPS so you are going to be fighting a single enemy for about ten minutes, if you include dodging and strafing
    - the microtransactions went from bad to abysmal as every part of progression is either a disgusting grind or pay five dollars for 150%XP boost for two hours

    Want to hear the best joke the series ever told? Assassination damage builds in AC Odyssey. The level based assassinations are back and they are as dumb as ever. Upon pressing the assassination button an animation plays. In this animation, you could see your character stab someone sixty times then set them on fire then poison them then let a lion tear them to shreds and then drop a nuke on them. And they get hit for five percent of their max health.

    But wait, this game has melee damage builds, ranged damage builds and assassination damage builds. Surely if I build assassination damage I can kill people with my assassinations. Yeah, no. In fact you are screwing yourself over completely if you build like that.

    I mean, you will do fifteen percent of their health instead of five but guess what? They are still not dead. And now they alerted the whole camp. So you either have to fight or run. Oh you want to fight? Dummy you built assassination damage not melee damage. So the enemies that are spongy for the melee damage builds are a nightmare for you. Now instead of just the Mercenaries taking five minutes each, all of the enemies will take years off your life.

    Now I am going to make a controversial statement. Ready? Interact button should be an interact button. OK? Let me repeat that. Interact button should be an interact button. Do you know what I don't want to do? I don't want to run up to an NPC and jump instead of talking to them. I don't want to crouch instead of talking to them. I don't want to use an item instead of talking to them. And I certainly do not want to track a nearby non-essential NPC and put my knife through their neck. Of course not killing them but now they are hostile as well as the quest giver.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to make the Interact Button/Assasination Button combo on the controller should be fired on the spot. Like how stupid are you?

    Ok now to the fun part, the microtransactions. When this game drew ire for the amount of ridiculous monetization they came out defending it with the most hilarious lie I have ever seen. The Time Savers are there for adults that don't have time to grind video games. I mean you could do that… or you could just not make the game a grindfest scraping for every bit of progression in order to be tempted into the store. But thanks Ubisoft, thanks for balancing the game just right and thinking about the hard working people.

    Damn this game just pisses me off. I 100% it without ever purchasing a single thing from the store and damn, there are few games that left me emptier than this one. This thing is a hollow shell of what the greater AC series used to be. It is not all bad, as there are moments where I had some fun with the game and I clearly had to enjoy some of it to 100% it but wow. The hours put into this title feel like wasted time which is not a feeling I should get after finishing a game.    … Expand

    Should this have the assassin's creed name attached to it ? No.

    But it is a decent RPG with a beautiful open world to explore.

    Odyssey is my favorite of the recent Assassin's Creed games by far. The setting isn't as good as Origins, but Odyssey's story is much, much better than Origins (and so is the combat) and kept me hooked until the end. Played as Kasandra and loved her family-focused story and even loved Legacy of the First Blade DLC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the record, I have around 100hrs, and not finished with main quest, but have to write review for reasons below. First off - the good things, the game starts off great - reliving the battle of 300, then getting abandoned by Sparta and starting anew as mercenary aka misthios. After getting out of starting island Kephallonia, there is a lot - and I mean A LOT to explore, and most of it for me felt different enough to keep me going. The 'world and characters' side quests are also very varied and many of them have choices that make you pick lesser evil, which is great. Main quest is also very good so far, trying to reunite your family and reclaim your place in Sparta. As for crafting/upgrade mechanisms and resource availability, for me it was Ok, as the amount of resources you get scale with your level, there is no need to buy anything from in-game shop. Graphics are very good, so is combat, for me it felt very dynamic, sometimes punishing, but overall very fun. The mercenary ranking system isn't bad.
    Now for the bad things - the minor ones. The enigma ostrakas - if you want to complete them, some are really easy to find, some are tough but all the more rewarding, but some of them outright misleading - as perfect example is 'goat's gruff' - so much so, that after you give up searching the only place that fits at least to some extent the vague description on the ostraka, and you'll google the exact location, you will want to beat whoever wrote it with two stupid sticks while kicking him in the nuts.
    Somewhat worse for me were some quests where you had to guess where to find next objective - one especially bad was quest for killing Drakon, where there game literally says 'his camp is somewhere in Boeotia' - wow, just wow.
    The absolutely positively worst thing so far was hunting cultists. Let's say you get this one legendary set item, and you tell yourself 'now I want the whole set, and ASAP, because it's game changing for my playstyle'. Ok, you start to get clues - as example there is this cultist in Attika that owns quarry, the clue says - ok, I'll go to quarry and kill him, he will be there. Except nope, he won't be there, unless you do like 5 side quests in Attika, that doesn't even remotely hint that the cultist will be uncovered in the end. Why not at least include hint about the person that gives the side quests into the clue? Another example is cultist on obsidian islands - clue says 'weaking the islands will draw him into naval battle'. Again, this is misleading, if you weaken the islands, you can sail around them 10 times and you will not find the cultist. You have to google again to find out you need to speak to general for conquest battles to uncover him - again nothing about this in the clue. If this was some optional stuff, I would understand, but finding and killing cultists is very much bread and butter of this game, so this is very much an issue for me, because it can literally take hours of gameplay without any progression. Given the scope of the game, you really want to progress as much as possible, to see it all.
    Soo yea, a 6 from me.    … Expand

    Why those damned naval battles? Misfortune of poorly made game mode, without sense or reason! Whoever invented these maritime missions in the game deserves to receive cold pizza for life! And more: realism and immersion are necessary, but Alexios' balls detailed when you dive with him is a detail of extreme bad taste!

    Amazing game all around! After 320 hours, got Platinum Trophy and finished all the DLCs, I can safely say that Odyssey was the most enjoyable game that I've played in the last 5 years.

    Fun and varied gameplay, the abilities really come into play and they are fun to use, I always recommend switching between them and not using just the best/meta ones.

    Combat may feel floaty at first, but it's because of the weapons used. I also used swords and spears, until I realized they have to feel light. When switching to heavier weapons, it became more satisfying.

    Naval battles are super fun, yet lack realism.

    For people complaining about the lack of guaranteed assassination, there's a skill which you unlock later and which gives you direct asssassination for 90% of the enemies.

    I have never been underleveled. If you explore the beautiful world and do all the side quests (I mean narrative ones, not the radiant ones) you won't have any problems.

    The world is absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint is that, while it feels alive, you can't interact much with it. Social stealth, interactive objects, animals petting, a mini-game etc. would've been amazing.

    I loved Kassandra as a protagonist. She's great IMO, top4 AC protagonists, and since you get to make the decisions, it adds more depth. Also, I'll get this straight: her design is great, she's beautiful (and I think we should appreciate this since attractive females are becoming more and more rare in tripleA western RPGs). Still, there is one problem: the lack of character development, or very few of it.

    Graphics and artstyle, the game does both well.    … Expand

    I played a crap ton of black flag so once I got gamepass I tried this game. I hate the new combat rpg style it sucks it doesn't take 300 stabs to kill someone. The story is long and dragged out. The only good thing for this game is the Graphics.

    Oceniając tę grę na podstawie całej serii, powiem tyle, że nie spodobał mi się fakt, iż nie miała ona nic wspólnego z serią o Asasynach. Twórcy chyba zrezygnowali z łączeniem tego uniwersum w pewnym stopniu (a przynajmniej tylko w animusie). Mimo to, jest to dobra produkcja o mitologii greckiej.

Przygodę możemy poprowadzić w zależności od naszego wyboru, Alexiosem, bądź jego siostrą Kassandrą, co jest miłą odmianą, ponieważ w większości serii twórcy zmuszali nas do rozgrywki z góry narzuconym bohaterem. Mapa Grecji, prócz tego, że jest olbrzymia, to ma na prawdę przepiękne widoki. Pochwalić na pewno można także architekturę, która też stoi na wysokim poziomie. Ciekawą odmianą były bossy znane z mitologii, z którymi przyszło nam walczyć. Spędziłem w tej grze setki godzin, lecz nie powiedziałbym, że była to najlepsza gra w jaką grałem, jest spoko, ale nie stawiałbym jej obok całej serii.… Expand

Como veterano de la saga puedo decir que estoy profundamente decepcionado, para no alargar mucho la reseña haré un breve resumen la historia es lenta y aburrida no engancha y los personajes son muy planos, el combate no se siente para nada bien, la decisión de remover la hoja oculta ha sido nefasta y nadie lo había pedido, las texturas hacen popping muy frecuentemente y los diálogos son bastante irrelevantes. Lo único que se salva es el parkour que está ok, y la exploración que no está mal.

    I have never played a game as boring as AC Odyssey. While the game is fun, it's just way to stretched out. 95 percent is just traveling. Finished a quest? Nice! Now go and talk to 3 more people that are far away from fast travel points. I'm 50 hours in and I just can't be bothered to finish the Atlantis DLC because it's so unbelievably boring.

    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]
