    If you love the Assassin’s Creed games then this is one of the best, even though it’s not a million miles away from the stunning Origins.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey's open-world adventure through ancient Greece is a gorgeous thrill, and the best the series has ever been.

    If you have the time and patience, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is worth a look, if not for the meandering plot and lore, than for the history porn, the earnest humor, and the massive, mystery-filled world.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey comes close to be the best title of the series to date, with a much-improved narrative design, an interesting main storyline and an overhauled gameplay inherited from last year’s Assassin’s Creed Origins.

    Odyssey puts player freedom front and centre in a way the games never have before, while also taking in perhaps the most fun and gorgeous location we've seen so far.

    Assassin's Creed: Odyssey builds on everything good Origins introduced, but with a bit lower quality stories and adding some new systems that end up being not so impressive. Overall, though, it's still a very solid open world game with lots of content and some very gorgeous visuals. It won't amaze you as Origins did, but it'll still provide tens of hours of quality play.

    Odyssey makes great strides in its massive and dynamic world, and it's a joy to venture out and leave your mark on its ever-changing setting.

What you're getting here is a huge beautiful game world to explore on both land and sea set in the best setting: Ancient Greece. And you get to play exactly the way you want. Choice is the biggest addition here, allowing you choose dialogue options and make decisions that affect the story, choose your own playstyle; combat or stealth, you even get to choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra who have totally different personalities. I'm glad This franchise went full RPG because though it may be as good as the witcher, it comes pretty damn close.

    The mercenary system, the arenas, the exploration of the world by ship, the exploration of islands keep me playing non stop
    The story is good
    The best Assassin's Creed game for me and I hope to see another sequel to it or similar to it

There are timesIt has it's moments, it's a beautiful looking game, and it improves upon what Origins began, but it is a HARD grind at times. There are times where the game will stop being fun and just feel like work. The story is interesting, but the Ubisoft has long since foregone weaving engaging narratives. All in all, it's not a bad game, but like Black Flag, it's not an Assassin's Creed game, and it's RPG elements and grindy gameplay may turn many off.… Expand

The story is boring, you will have a lot of grinding to level up for your next missions and it feels like Ubisoft just wanted to make the game longer for nothing.
