Granted, there has been a shift in focus away from parkour/stealth and towards combat—made obvious by a lack of verticality and much more open environments—with some serious improvements to the combat system; making it slightly challenging and mostly based on user skill instead of just aesthetic compared to earlier entries...
    And yet the game remains relatively bland and average in all but the design of its environments. The ceaseless repetition of mindless and unvaried tasks that are shoved down your throat through the use of innumerable checklists, map markers and "points of interest" detracts from what could clearly be a decent game if it were more focused and more tightly designed.

    I will add a bonus point because of the "Discovery Tour" mode, which can be an excellent tool for getting people interested in Greek history and mythology. This may arguably be the best way to play the game.    … Expand

    AC: Odyssey was the first title I bought on Stadia. I was enticed by the typical open world experience I thought I'd get. It wasn't a typical open world experience.

The main quest-line took forever for me to complete because the strategy needed for overcoming tougher bandits and assassination targets always keep me doing side quests, a game hadn't had me this focused in the world since The Witcher 3. The introduction of the Cultists in the latter portion of the first part of the game was really what I was looking for to tie the game together, this with the exploration mode really made this an open-world to behold.    … Expand

    Absolutely awful AC game, almost as bad as AC 3, but in a different way.

    A great continuation of the series reboot which expands upon the changes of Origins. The story is interesting, gameplay is vast and varied. Only downfall is sometimes the world feels too big and daunting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Odyssey is my first jump into the world of Assassins Creed. The most enjoyable part of the game is following the protagonist in Ancient Greece. Parkour killing and stealth slicing through enemies is a great ride, that can take quite a few hours out of your gaming time :)… Expand

    Such a beautiful setting. My first assasins creed game, so I am perhaps less tired of the franchise than other people! I enjoy exploring ancient Greece, gearing up, and in particular the sailing. The game looks fantastic on stadia, something my nintendo switch could never run. Great if you're looking for action rpg.

    Super fun game that looks and plays beautifully on Stadia. The story is well crafted, the open world is incredible (my favorite of any AC game). The mechanics are easy to pick up and the upgrade and weapon system is intuitive.

    I spent over 100 hours on the game and it easily kept my attention the whole time.

There are very few bugs, so far I've only had two (graphical) issues in over forty hours of play, and both resolved on their own, and neither was game breaking in any sense. The world is beautiful, and I've really liked little things like the game pinging me when I'm close to an untracked quest so that I can't cover quests that I'm near and may have lost track of. I've been enamored with this game since I started playing it, and I can easily see myself putting dozens more hours into it yet, so from a value perspective, the hours of enjoyment per dollar cost is definitely in favor of this game! The only real gripes I have with it are that on the global map, finding your quest marking can be really difficult due to a poor sizing and coloring scheme, which causes it to blend it, and from a combat perspective, while it's good, I've had a good number of deaths caused when the character doesn't respond in as crisp a manner as my input was, i.e., you press for an action and get an inconsistent reaction speed. This has led to me taking on a button mashing tactic where if I want the character to do an action, I end up spamming those buttons to cause the action until I see it occur rather than the nice and smooth combat systems that games like the Batman Arkham series have made me so fond of. Still, combat ends up being a relatively small part of the game compared to stealth and exploration, so it hasn't bothered me enough to be a true problem. I would definitely buy this again, and am confident that for those looking to finish this game, you can easily plow one hundred hours into it.… Expand

    It is insanely beautiful, the story is interesting, and I find the open world very motivating (not my cup of tea usually).

    Was my first AC after a long abstinence from the series. It follows the basic Ubisoft open World formula and was fun at first, but got repetitive and boring relatively fast.

    Of all the Assassin's Creed settings, this and Valhalla have the least 'Assassinvibes', which has split fanbase. If you're more into combat, this is your game.

    The game is beautiful and full of amazing places to explore and complete. It gets a little repetitive at times but I found it more fun to ignore some of the grind and just enjoy the story. It's a game you can easily put in over 100 hours.
