Exploring Ancient Greece feels rewarding at all times and the attention to detail the world has makes things very immersive from start to finish. I really enjoyed the story because I felt more involved than I’ve ever done before in an Assassin’s Creed game and I think that’s mainly because I was allowed to make my own choices. I’ve always really enjoyed the combat in Assassin’s Creed but for some reason I enjoyed the combat more here because it felt fluid and brutal at all times. In terms of content the game has more than enough to keep you satisfied and the variety the content has means things always stay fresh and interesting. The game suffers with a few technichal issues every now and then, but thankfully these are only slightly annoying instead of game-breaking. Sometimes there’s a bit of grinding required and this does make things become a little tedious. Last year the Assassin’s Creed series was injected with a new lease of life thanks to the fantastic Assassin’s Creed: Origins and I went into playing Odyssey with more excitement than I had with previous game’s because the franchise felt more exciting than it had in year’s. Thankfully once again they’ve delivered and in some ways they’ve improved over last year’s game which in my opinion culminates in making Odyssey one of the best game’s this fantastic franchise has delivered so far. I’ve always liked the visuals and sound design in these game’s but for me this is the best looking and sounding game so far. This then means exploring Ancient Greece always feels rewarding and you’ll no doubt be satisfied with the vast amount of varied content the game has. Obviously one of the most important aspects in this series is its combat and I’m pleased to say that they’ve pulled out all the stops here making it feel fluid and more brutal than ever. This then means that the game has got its important aspects spot on and in terms of problems the game doesn’t have many at all, and the problems it does have are very easy to look past. Recommending Odyssey is incredibly easy then and when it’s all said and done fans of Assassin’s Creed will fall in love with this game immediately because it’s basically perfection.… Expand

    It does not bring anything truly ground breaking and new to the franchise true, being more an amalgam of game features from previous games, however in some cases existing mechanics are expanded like naval combat, abilities and inventory.
    I particularly like Kassandra of the two playable characters, because of her voice acting and her personality.

    The BAD

    On the negative side of things I've had a few glaring bugs, some funny, some just down right annoying and a crash or two, which is never cool :(

    The story doesn't really make sense, and I don't really like that you have to pause it just to get to the appropriate level to continue. It LITERALLY took me out of the story :/

    I don't like the idea of micro-transactions in games that are forced upon you because the game is deliberately being slow.

    The MEH

    I don't find the genre shift to RPG bothersome as I myself am a lover of RPG. True, the RPG elements such as dialogue choices don't make much sense lore-wise, but eh, I don't really care.

    I didn't care about the mercenary system, ended up spending a lot of my drachmae just to play without the obligatory mercenary tailing me.    … Expand

    But this game retains so little of it. There are beautiful places to visit (Athens, the Parthenon and its Athena statues for example), but damn it is so shallow ! Most of the universe is filled with random crap and places (bandit camps, caves, useless forts, and what not) that are really tedious to visit, not to mention explore.

    And to me, it is not even an AC game anymore. This game pretends to be fun by reneging on the premises of the franchise but has just lost itself on its way. What the heck Ubisoft, what have you done of the series !!! Where is the parkour ? More importantly : where are the Assassins to even begin with? Oh yes, I forgot... in a DLC as uninteresting as it is useless, of course !
    Back to the main game : the main quest(s) are boring and you can really tell how uninspired the writers have been. They send you from places to places with very little to justify your journey, and there are loads of uninteresting tasks (I would say downright fedex) and that is NOT acceptable in the main path. Damn, at this point, you should make your game shorter, but actually good, because as it is, it is the complete opposite.

    The map is huge, that is a fact. It is also a chore to explore. I am halfway through the game, and I am sad to say I will not finish it. I strongly regret my purchase and urge Ubisoft to look back on what makes a (good) AC game.    … Expand

Une purge de « mmo » en mode fermier solitaire coréen à en crever la gueule ouverte sur son clavier ou sa manette.

    L’infiltration est devenue le parent pauvre de ce nouvel épisode… elle s’avère fortement dégradée par le fait qu’on n’a la plupart du temps pas assez de puissance d’assassinat (!?)… pour assassiner tranquillement comme dans les Assassin’s Creed de jadis quand on se faufilait jusqu’à la cible… Ici, les niveaux requis dictent tout, y compris le farmage exigé pour les atteindre : trop souvent, on ne peut même pas assassiner un ennemi du même niveau que le sien, car il a une icône jaune… il est « élite » » ce bâtard… donc faut lui farmer des coups dans la tronche à n’en plus finir !

    Heureusement, tout de même, des compétences dédiées et des équipements adhoc permettent (quand même) de monter les stats d’assassinat et une fois qu’on a pigé ce qu’il faut choisir et optimiser, on peut nettoyer le tout-venant furtivement et très efficacement, ma foi.

    Mais tout finit en combat(s) dans AC Odyssey… toujours, sans arrêt sur des ennemis qui sont des sacrés sacs à points de vie et des éponges à coups d’épées, lames, haches, massues et tutti quanti. Heureusement (là encore) que le combat est à la fois riche et bien pensé parce que sinon, ce serait la catastrophe… Au fil des compétences martiales devéloppées, on se prend au jeu et on tabasse avec entrain tous les connards qui passent… et trépassent : on est une vraie machine à tuer dans cet AC !

    Pourquoi on fait tout ça, on ne sait plus trop, car l’écriture de la quête principale est très mauvaise et ridicule à la fois ; les quêtes secondaires ne font certainement pas mieux et se bornent à du fedex et de l’invariable nettoyage de camps… Et si rarement, dans quelques unes de ces quêtes, on peut -grande nouveauté chez Ubisoft- mal se comporter, cela reste rare et trop accessoire. Mais se battre ouvertement parce qu’on a pas été furtif dans un camp ou qu’on a buté des vilains en ville, entraîne des mercenaires à votre poursuite…

    Autre défaut qui les casse bien, c’est ces putains de points à escalader et synchroniser et qui servent de voyage rapide : il y en a bien trop à faire et en même temps, ils ne sont pas assez nombreux pour garantir une « mobilité » correcte dans le monde trop grand, car Ubisoft veut que vous bouffiez du km à pied ou à cheval jusqu’à n’en plus pouvoir… Ubichiotte veut que tu farmes, alors farme, mon gars !

    Bon, on peut jouer une héroïne et ça, c’est très bien. Elle est spartiate, c’est très bien aussi, si, si… Mais pourquoi elle ressemble à une nageuse de l’ex-RDA ? un dopage ambulant la « gonzesse »… La grâce d’un tank, le charisme d’une brutasse aux stéroïdes… Et si on peut coucher avec tout le monde ou presque (sauf les chèvres) on ne verra pas l’ombre d’un téton mais un fondu au noir… Coincés du fion, chez Ubicon !

    Et puis, et puis… tout de même, pourquoi tous ces gens de couleur dans ce jeu ? on est en Grèce ou en Egypte ? est-ce qu’on confond chez Ubidaube le teint hâlé du bronzage avec la peau noire des Africains ou celle un peu moins foncée des Pakistanais ? alors, si le prochain AC se passe chez les Vikings ou les Samouraïs, aura-t-on la diversité incorporée de force également ? (réponse dans AC Valhalla : oui, je confirme, l’Angleterre du Moyen Age est issue de la diversité aux trois quarts…!). Certes, je comprends l’agenda SJW d’Ubisoft mais merde quoi… la Grèce n’est pas en Afrique. Même avec les migrants… qui n’étaient pas là à l’époque, non, non.

    Cela étant, l’interface, la maniabilité et la technique sont très convaicantes (avec en 2021 un patch X|S qui est venu passer le jeu en 4K et en 60 im/s, impeccable) mais tout le reste franchement… j’espère que vous n’appelez pas « ça » un jeu de rôle !

    Néanmoins, le monde grec et ses îles (et ses combats navals amusants, quand même) reste très agréable à explorer et lorsqu’on a passé un cap c’est-à-dire qu’on a fait son deuil de tout ce que ces personnages navrants peuvent raconter ici et là, en zappant tous leurs dialogues aussi sec, on se fait une joie et un point d’honneur à rechercher et zigouiller les 22 membres de la secte de Kosmos…    … Expand

    Start with Origins and you know what is going on with this game. Since Ubi tried to replicate the formula it is only fair to compare it against Origins.

    Levels and XP do not make a game an RPG so forgot about role playing at all. Beyond the choice of characters nothing you do in the game really has any major impact on anything beyond the ending. There is no role playing at all. It is funny to have conversations with some characters after making "critical" decisions just to tell them that it happened one way when it actually happened differently. The game has a plan for your character and there is nothing you can do to change that. Again, this is not an RPG, it just uses "levels" to lock down abilities until later.

    Ubi is fond of filling their world with stuff to do. The problem is that after the first couple of islands you've done everything the game has to offer so there is no benefit in continuing. This is the first Creed game where I didn't bother completing each area. The same layouts and set pieces are repeated over and over again. There is no advantage to completing areas beyond equipment (which is lackluster) and XP. You'll get to max level by mid game anyway so there is no reason to grind. So filling the map with stuff doesn't make it more enjoyable.

    Greece is boring overall. Unlike Egypt it is just uninspired and dull. I had more fun in almost every other creed environment (except London) over this. It can be as pretty as you want in 4K but a 4K boring picture is still boring. Nothing in the game really grabs your attention like Egypt did.

    Side quests are all over the place but they all fall into the same standard "fetch", "kill", "escort" play. They are uninspired and not necessary to complete the game so there is no reason to search for them. The timed quests are infuriating more than fun as well. Many give you 1 day to complete but unless you're going to play for hours on end or stop what you're doing and work on them you likely won't complete them in time. If you do you get "some odd collectible" that you can trade to some "hard to pronounce" NPC for gear that you already probably have better versions of anyway.

    Perhaps the biggest complaint against this game is that it is so anti-assassin. In previous games you generally got in trouble if you did evil things like killing civilians. Here you actually have to go this route if you want to clear areas. Evidently in ancient Greece you aren't allowed to go into temples, certain areas of cities or event hunting camps. Every other NPC can though. To mark these areas as cleared you are required to steal from the temples, kill hunters making a living and destroy working class people's lives. You feel more like a thug than a hero. Why Ubi decided these were the best objectives for an area makes no sense.

    4K quality aside this is clearly Origins for the next year. Sort of like they did with the early games they are reusing the tools in a new area. However it is already burned out after Origins. This game is just uninspired and dull. Bugs that we used to see in the old games are starting to creep back in like textures popping in and out, getting stuck on stuff and crashes to the home. AI is poor at best just like in previous games.

    Finally, the ship system that they try to keep putting in based upon Black Flag continues to be a disaster. If it wasn't for the fact you have to use the ship to get between islands there is no reason to do so. Battles are the same old thing each time irrelevant of target, requires almost no skill and is not very flexible in any way. It is just another mini-game to add to the marketing checklist.

    Overall this game is a distraction that fails to meet the high of Origins last year. It isn't a bad game it just seems like Ubi was going to start doing better with the series and the second outing reminds us of the old games all over again. If you just power through the game and ignore most of the mini-games then it is probably worth the money. But spending a lot of time trying to get to 100% completion just seems wasted on this game when there are better games out there.    … Expand

Ubisoft have missed the AC mark with this one. Many of the classic AC things are missing: the hidden blades, becoming anonymous in crowds or on benches, no quick, attack from behind assassinations. No hiding in hay wagons (there aren’t any) or in leap of faith leaf/flower piles. By the way, Ubisoft, what’s the point of leap of faith soft landing areas, anyway? You put in a perk (Ability) that lets you jump off anything without getting hurt. Bows are pretty much useless in Odyssey - even on easy mode, it sometimes takes 10-15 fully-charged HEADSHOTS to take an enemy out. So don’t bother getting ther “special arrow” perks - they have no more power than the “standard” arrows you are supplied with at the start of the game. Also, what’s the point of leveling up in this version? You start out on an island with a very low level, but as you level up, the lower-level areas level up automatically so that the fight level is always the same. Finally, there is no real story in this AC release. It takes place in the era of the Peloponnesian War - a war that Athens lost; so why does this game not follow history and have the game’s protagonist aid Sparta in defeating Athens instead of leaving history up to the player? Are we teaching revisionist history here? If you are supposed to choose a side (Athens or Sparta), why are you allowed to attack both factions? Then there’s the “Cult”. Huh? Is this an attempt to put a bunch of bad guys in the game (as if there weren’t enough already: Commanders, Captains, Elite Soldiers, Hi-powered mercenaries, area Faction Leaders and Mythical Beasts). Life is complex enough without a game mimicking the same uncertainty. So we are left with a game where you go from area to area endlessly killing commanders, looting and finding clues to puzzle locations that send you off on more searches. But, when conditions are right (that is; you’ve killed & looted enough in one area, you get to take sides & fight in a battle royale. Many areas have lootable items stuck inside rocks, so they show up when using the finder pulse, but you can’t get to them. I’ve also seen more than one animal or human enemy stuck inside rock, too. In short, Ubisoft has created a beautiful, huge game that lacks two small things: a story line & decent fight physics. The game ends up feeling unfinished and poorly thought out - it feels like just a Ubisoft vehicle to let people run around and thoughtlessly kill things. No sense of a unified group fighting for a cause, just a lone wolf ruffian running around causing havoc. I’ve played every AC game in the series at least once and this one is a sad reflection of the others. Hopefully, Ubisoft will do better with the next one.… Expand

    The developers of the Assassin's Creed series just keep putting more ways to exploit their customers by offering "Player Choice" to skip the grind.

Listen, I played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night exploring the entire castle, getting all the equipment, all the HP UP and MP UP with most of the Heart Max up. Getting to a level that only the programmers knew to get to where your HP hits the quadruple digits to me is probably the biggest sense of accomplishment that I got out of the game. Then they put in a grind with the sole purpose to get you to pay to not play the game that you already paid for and are trying to play, it actually defeats the purpose of progression in a video game.

    The 4K graphics look good, but that still doesn't make the game feel any less dumb from the previous game. Also, you might have noticed that a whole bunch of Ubisoft games are starting to have the same formula. Recycled fetch quests, recycled extra objectives and very rarely; a recycled character. People are right to keep getting disappointed by this **** and I hope somehow they actually get such angry feedback it upsets their investors. So, in conclusion; don't fall for obvious traps like this in games anymore. They apparently want to exploit you so they can get more money out of you. Oh wait, the gameplay? What do you want?

The storytelling and exploration aspects of the game have also greatly been improved upon, offering a much more tightly woven experience that held my interest all through the very end of the game (provided the conclusion to the story could be considered as such). Despite these technical advances however, it's impossible not to note the fact that the game has about as much to do with assassins as Star Wars has to do with medieval warfare. Though i highly enjoyed my playthrough I couldn't manage to shake the though that Ubisoft would have found much more success had they not attempted to "ride the wave" created by the already long list of entries to the long established series. As a stand alone game AC: Odyssey is a true jewel of video gaming. Just don't expect any templars or any other defining traits of the series.… Expand

The game play is quick, intuitive and full of action and excitement. I have been a long time Assassin's Creed fan and have played and completed them all except the side scrolling ones and Liberation (played but not completed). Having said that, this game is my favorite in the series. It is a upgraded version of Origins (which is amazing too!). I find myself continually being pulled back to this game and have played it every day with the exceptions of the holidays since launch. I currently am at 140 hours and still have not completed it. However I am going for the 100% so I completely clear areas when I do them.

    You can do this game in any order you want once you get a high enough level. The enemies level up with you and that is awesome as it makes all areas the same difficulty. So there are no low level one hit kill enemies (excluding Assassinations once you get your Assassination damage up). The side quests from the boards do get repetitive, but I enjoy them because you get a ton of XP and Drachme ($$) from them and they let you explore areas a little more. This is just part of Ubisofts games and I love it. The unique side quests (Gold “!”on map) are amazing and have their own little stories. Some of them are quite involved and have multiple endings based on your choices. There are even other side quests from random NPCs that are in the woods or other areas while you are just exploring. I also love the tombs where you find the stele and it gives you an ability point. This is a continuation from Origins and they are worth exploring. There are also the return of the history areas which are amazing to read about and find. It is worth going off of the beaten path and exploring.

    I have yet to get bored playing this game, and with 140 hours plus whatever it will be once I complete the game I don’t believe that I will be bored. This game also gets updates and new content for free and paid regularly. Since this game has launched there have been some awesome changes. Now you can change the look of your armor and the colors and they keep the same stats. You do not have to have the current item in your inventory to unlock the look either. Once you have looted it you have it unlocked. Also now the level cap is 75 and you get master abilities where you can put up to 20 points into each thing (Sword damage, damage dealt turns into healing, damage to animals, fire etc.) It is amazing!

    I got used to the voice actor for Alexios and I like it. He does sound kind of dumb but he is a big muscle ego hero character, and it fits him. I have not played as Kassandra so I cannot say that she is better or not.

    As a parent and a person that doesn't have as much time to play at once as I used to the way this game saves is also awesome. It saves right where you left off if you manual save. I mean exactly where you were standing. It helps when you have to stop and save and come back later. My 140 hours are broken up by 30 mins here 2 hours here etc. It helps that this game was made like this.

    I give this game a 10/10 because it is amazing, fun to play, the base content of this game is HUGE there is so much to do and with Ubisoft updating it regularly with new content it is even better then I thought. I have only beaten the tutorial of Red Dead Redemption 2 and played some online because this game is so interesting and fun to play and just full of action. It keeps pulling me back. If you read this whole review I hope you found it helpful and if you get the game I hope you enjoy it! I know Ill be playing more and more. Thank you!    … Expand

Got a total of 55/78 successes (1015 success points).

    I started the game towards the end of January, relatively soon after Origins, which I really liked. Now towards the end of March I finished the game after a total of 85 hours.

    Got a total of 55/78 successes (1015 success points). In the end, a progress of 95% after I have done pretty much the most reasonable side quests, all bosses and cultists, as well as discovering every region and upgrading everything.

    Graphics / setting

    Hammer. I played on the One X towards the end and the game is just beautiful in places. The characters were beautifully staged and I really like the setting. Even more than Egypt in origins. The landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and, overall, unbelievably huge.

    The performance actually always ran smoothly. One or the other time there were funny glitches and graphic bugs, but acceptable for the map size.

    Gameplay

    I just like the new AC direction. I really like the combat system and the advanced RPG elements from Origins blend in perfectly with the gameplay flow.

    Overall, I would have liked a little more qualitative diversity in the active skills and perhaps a little earlier the very large selection of passive skills. I almost always played by assassination or ultimately hand-to-hand combat, trying pretty much all weapons. I just didn't like the bars, they just didn't have any oomph.

    story

    As always, I don't want to write so much here; in any case, I was satisfied with my end. In general, I really liked the trip with Kassandra, a great odyssey.

    Negatives

    - horse physics (ran very buggy)
    - Control sometimes led to unwanted assassinations when you just wanted to loot
    - Mercenary system (actually cool) but not well integrated, too often you can't understand the persecution
    - sometimes the gestures were completely exaggerated

    Reviewing on the Xbox One X.

    Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is one of my favorite games of all time (and I've been playing for 40 years - A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, MGSV: The Phantom Pain, Breath of the Wild, and now Odyssey).

As a fan of this style of game, I'm really kind of speechless in how Ubisoft was able to produce something like this. Usually, with these kinds of games, there's at least something that's not quite right - either the game starts off rough, or there's filler content, or the characters are bland or awful. There's always something. But Odyssey doesn't miss a single beat and I can't understand how Ubisoft was able to make something so engaging. At the moment I'm playing through with Kassandra, a total dream woman, so I guess the game got off on the right foot immediately with me. It's as if Ubisoft looked at everything that worked in Assassin's Creed: Origins, kept what worked, ditched what didn't, and then added ten tons of awesome. There's so much action and content in this game, I feel like I underpaid (I picked up the standard edition). On the Xbox One X, the game looks outstanding, controls like a dream, and I think it's the first title on the X that justifies the money I paid for it last year. The RPG dial has been turned up this time, Odysey has BioWare style RPG elements with dialogue choices and consequences for player actions - and they work amazing, it doesn't feel like they were just slapped in. I honestly don't know how much more I can say, it's a game that I'm not able to find anything to criticize (at least not yet. I've not played with Alexios). I can't stop playing. Ubisoft, I don't know how you did this, but stay the course and never change.    … Expand

I like how they balance between reality and fecticns in general world story and gameplay. For the open world item there are a lot to discover however the price is almost only a beautiful places like visiting a museum and some times tools. I wish they made more verity awards for the discovery like like special abilities, special tools. Gemplay combat:
    A new style in the series and I think it is well done and there is a space for improvement.

    Gameplay Stealth kill:
    Good and adding bow style is also nice, but I wish there are will action while preforming stealth kill like in Assassin's creed unity or middle earth shadow of mordor.

    Gameplay parkour :
    Good and I like how smooth his movement and climbing any thing easily (maybe a little pit more then required). I think better to be more challenging in doing this parkour and climbing. Also I wish they made better action moves while performing parkour such as Assassin's creed unity.

    The Five level story :
    Story acting and scenarios in general are good. However It needs more work. Storey for those who comes before covered well
    Current day story and abstergo a covered well. The main story of alexios/kassandra is good but it needs more work to be better.
    Historical references and events are covered well. Sub stories in the world of the game are good and some are average.

    Quests level system, and upgrading system:
    Quest is good some are repeated but it's OK because Gameplay is nice. Level system I think it's fine and never bother me. I didn't required to do side quest for just increasing my level. Upgrades some are good and some are not required and it can be better. In general as most of ubisoft games it's good game that it can be better and I think it deserves 85 rating.

You're supposed to be the hero that holds the spear of Leonidas, yet I found myself doing quests that made me feel like an errand boy whether it be delivering a letter to someone or rigging a small election. If they had to decrease the number of quests to increase the quality of the quests I would say do that. It's great that the world is so immersive and there is so much to do but I found myself bored of all the errand boy quests. So much so that I couldn't even finish the game. Quest system gets a 3/10. The talent tree and combat feel the same as last year. There are some cool new editions like teleporting to stab someone with a spear from a range. Kinda felt like Shadow of War-esque. 8/10 for combat and talent tree. The armor is pretty cool but I wish there was more customization or more styles. I think a cool way to improve the armor system is to have certain goals that if achieved, cut some of the materials or cost it takes to improve that armor. I found it hard to consistently upgrade the purple or gold tier armor/weapons because it cost so much. It got so bad I sometimes had to use blue tier weapons because I couldn't afford the upgrades. Armor/Weapon system gets a 6/10.

    Overall if you're looking for a beautiful game, and you don't mind grinding and doing (A LOT of) errands while you follow a bigger storyline then I'd try the game out. Especially if you love Ancient Greece.    … Expand

    A Genuine Fast Take of AC: Odyssey

    Every single person on this website that can rate this game below a 5 or 4 needs to review their score for Witcher 3 and reevaluate what the essence of a 'grind' is. All I have seen is moaning and complaining about how 'grindy' the game is when all open-world RPGs have some mild to moderate level of grind. Marking the addition to the series as a    A Genuine Fast Take of AC: Odyssey

    Every single person on this website that can rate this game below a 5 or 4 needs to review their score for Witcher 3 and reevaluate what the essence of a 'grind' is. All I have seen is moaning and complaining about how 'grindy' the game is when all open-world RPGs have some mild to moderate level of grind.

    Marking the addition to the series as a negative based on money you can CHOOSE to spend or not spend is disingenuous and your review is worth goose-egg, as far as I am concerned.

    Moving on from this, I was immediately enraptured by the setting. The world is teeming with all of those curious ? marks that you can immediately explore. I wish that your eagle could physically reveal them for you during scan mode but no dice on that. Some weapon styles are superior to others and some fit into the kind of combat style you are looking for. I enjoy the low cost of the Engraving system that allows you to mix and match specific Engravings for abilities on differing pieces of gear. (Legendary set items scale once you get all the pieces, which is a huge plus for end-game.)

    There is some definite tedium; I enjoyed the way Origins had a quick dodge within combat where it is seemingly missing in Odyssey for a hold down dodge mechanic where the longer button press, the further you dodge. Not ideal but it's there. I miss the old one. Being able to respec abilities is another plus; very cool if you want to try something different in the talent trees.

    The choice of dialogue is better than sitting me through a cutscene and having me answer if I will accept a quest or not. I found myself skipping through Origins scenes incessantly whereas here, I want to see what my differing dialogue choices will net me and what sort of alternating changes that my demeanor will have on future quests, as little or big the ripple in the lake may be.

    Ship controls are rather...meticulous for this entry in the series but it can very well the button scheme that I needed to operate with in the manner in which I liked to play Origins; the mere fact it has the returning option is a plus, familiarity is nice in those outnumbered combat situations. But the water traversal itself is nothing short of gorgeous.

    My biggest complaint? Towns should be made to be fast traveled to. Major towns and cities on islands should have an option to be returned to with a button press. It was present in Origins and ripped from Odyssey for...what? Perhaps the Exploration Mode? I still feel it would round out the travel between points and having to rely on Viewpoints for your back and forth between the world.

    The game has received an 9 because there are things that irk me with it; it diminishes a point for making me yell at some of the minutia of complaints I have. But it also gets a 9 because I am having immense amounts of fun. And that is what matters.

    It's great, haven't played Origins, but in contrast to others here I really like what Assassin's Creed has become, I was definitely burned out of the old formula. If you like games like the Witcher 3, then you will like this. Lol at 0 etc scores.

    The added story branching option and the diolog option is a great addition to the Assassin’s Creed Francise since this could make me as player be more involve in the story and the character. Some player might find the giant open world is a not so fitting setting to set an Assassin’s Creed story since it can make the player to be seperated from the story from the sheer ammount of time that the world exploration will take to do. The RPG element is good since it is develop together with AC: Origins. The multiple ending is also a good addition because it make the choice that the player have to be more important than normal story branching element.

    The reason i did not give this game a full 10/10 is because althought the modern day story line is connected to the Assassin's Creed Lore the actual animus part of story element althought interesting it is not connected enough even if the is some connection to the Assassin's Creed Lore as a whole.

    Overall the experience of playing this new type of Assassin’s Creed is depend on each player but since i’m a fan of both exploration and Assassin’s Creed francise in general so i can make a good judgment that this game is very good for those who already love the Assassin’s Creed Francise and for those who love exploration and branching story element.

    Since this is not a true RPG some RPG player might not like it so much and for those who like linear story line more this game also might not be for you.    … Expand

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is breathtaking. I don’t think I have ever been so addicted to a game before. There is so much to do, and I was compelled to do all of it. Kassandra is a great character with a truly intriguing story to follow. Greece is a beautiful place to explore, full of life and many different environments. The game is just so much fun to play!

    Then there's combat, surprisingly fun and visceral. Controls are the opposite of the clunkyness of RDR2. They feel natural, aiming with a bow is awesome (and doesn't stop after 2 seconds...really Rockstar?)

    The Naval game is extremely fun and adds a lot to the game, as mercenaries and Cultists do.

    This game would be absolutely perfect had the writing been better. Way too many uninspired fetch quests tarnish the main campaign, which is, in itself, quite ok if not excellent, and create unnecessary feel of repetition.

    Most people think of an assassin as a silent killer. Most assassins don't lead armies, or even large bodies of men, because the role of an assassin is not to be the heavy from TF2. An assassin is a silent, stealthy killer, who strikes without even being seen.

    This is an RPG, a complete and awful RPG. If this was called "Ancient Greek Magical Unicorn RPG Simulator", I'd give it a straight 10. I mean, the only reason I'm not giving it a 0 is because of the clear ingenuity of Ubisoft to create a game that puts you severely out of pocket, then comes back around and actually makes your gameplay experience hell unless you pay more money. Now THAT'S a sneaky assassination of my hard earned cash.

    Ubisoft makes the same mistakes over and again - employing B-grade idiots who don't know games. They botched the Anno series. They botched the AC series. What's gonna go next. Now, Ubisoft's own fans are trembling, wondering where the next sneak attack comes from. Ah! I get it. That's the real meaning of ASSASSIN'S creed! You sneaky buggers, you just decided to deliver your punchline differently.

    Seriously, if you like RPG's you probably already blew like $5,000 on LOL, why spend more on a crappy AC rip-off? Give it up, half the AC gamers are casual, we don't want a grind, we don't want to play some role just so you get a feminist endorsement. History sucks, we get it, but what sucks even more is people like the PR department at Ubi deciding what version of history we get. Really? They market this as realistic? I had more fun reading my old grade 8 ancient history textbook.

    I own every AC game, invested much more into the DLC, love it. It was the reason I began parkour and I now enjoy it a lot. But if you want an RPG, just rename it ok, just don't screw the age-old fans. I'm not buying another AC game... period.

    And I'm not the only one. My review counts for nothing, Ubisoft is massive, multi billion, why would they care about my $60? I'll tell you why. Because I am just one of many. I Implore you, anyone who reads this, do not surrender a single cent to Ubi. Make them learn the hard way. They clearly haven't learned.

    But, at the end of the day, all the people who like RPG games are usually playing a ROLE playing game cause their OWN ROLE, AKA LIFE, is not interesting enough. So even though AC is dead to me, I still have a community and can live AC stunts out in real life. So screw you Ubisoft, I'm going outside. Great job, not only will I not spend money on AC, I've stoped buying your other games.

    After all, we vote with our wallets, vote against this or the future for you gamers won't be bright, just extremely expensive.    … Expand

It is the worst experience I’ve ever had with an Assassin’s Creed game, having played almost every one of them since the beginning. They took all of the good elements from AC: Origins (which was actually a great and fun game) and threw them all in the trash. Ubisoft Quebec, which remains a stain on the Ubisoft brand and name, have tried to turn the AC franchise into an action RPG in the most superficial ways possible. They added dialogue options into Assassin’s Creed for the first time ever, not because it adds to the story and the franchise, but because almost every game nowadays has dialogue options so AC has to have it now too. They give you a preset character (either Alexis or Kassandra) who has their own character traits and morals that show up in mocaped cutscenes you can’t interact with, but at the same time give you the option to turn that character into a murderous psychopath who can kill entire villages of civilians and acts like a dick to everyone. There’s no feeling of immersion or relatability to this character since there really is no character, and they are completely susceptible to violent mood swings based entirely on your whim. The “story” is poorly written by AC standards, is horribly paced, ends abruptly and PALES in comparison to Origins. “Exploring” this vast open world becomes a chore when you realize almost every location in the game is just a bandit or soldier camp where the enemies will just attack you on sight. Sure, location variety was a problem in Origins, but they’ve doubled down on the lack of variety in this game. The cities and towns in this game are designed with no free running potential, so the parkour which has become a staple of this franchise is nearly absent. The visuals are somehow mostly worse than in Origins, a game two years older running on the same engine, with noticeable downgrades in lighting and fire effects, facial animations, and the environments in general. And the combat system is (in my opinion) the worst part of this game. They somehow managed to create a combat system that copies most of the mechanics from Origins but is objectively worse in every way. They completely removed the ability to use a shield, so if you liked that from Origins, it’s gone. The attacks in this game don’t feel or look nearly as weighty or have as much impact as they do in Origins. The cardinals sin though, and the thing that makes this combat system so bad, is that every single enemy is a damage sponge that can tank a ridiculous amount of hits before going down, just like in AC: Syndicate. Every enemy, from the big beefy hoplites with heavy shields and armor, to the archers and marksmen who are wearing no armor, all take a ridiculous amount of hits to kill, which turns the combat system (which should be this game’s biggest strength) into a tedious chore that you try to avoid at all costs. But it’s not like you can avoid it completely, since most enemies can’t even be killed with an assassination from stealth in one hit. Sure that was a problem with Origins too, but there are way more enemies that will survive a stealth assassination in this game than in Origins, which completely ruins the point of playing like an assassin, since trying to assassination an enemy will just have that enemy alerted to you and not dead, and then alert the other guards around you as well. Oh and you can also drive a boat I guess. I don’t know, that sort of seems like an after thought in this game, and is definitely not nearly as well done as the naval portion of Black Flag was. I passionately hate this game, and I will never be playing anything made by Ubisoft Quebec ever again.… Expand

I have seen glimpses of AC elements; Sync points, references to Those Who Came Before (though now referred to as Isu which is annoying), a cult that on the surface may be the beginnings of the Templars, twisted versions of historical figures, and minimal modern day story (so far anyway). Kassandra is a decent main character but there is no hidden blade. Plus because the last game indicates the beginning of the Assassin Order there can be none of that so much earlier in history. Upgrading weapons and armor is a complete pain in the ass. It is a total grind. The skill tree is not horrible but some "abilities" are not worth giving up a token for. The combat is improved, but that happened largely in Origins. Ship warfare is back. So my impression after about 48 hours into gameplay is that a lot of this is rehash combining Black Flag with Origins. This is almost as repetitive as the first game. So many stealth "rooms" of camps or forts where the objectives are repeatedly "Kill the Captain, Kill the Polemunch, Find Treasure, Find (special piece)..." So repetitive. Fetch this, free this character. If it were a Star Wars game there would certainly be Protect/Destroy the Shield Generator missions all over it. The map is huge and the world is beautiful. It doesn't totally suck as many of the problems with earlier games in the series have been fine tuned. I haven't run up the wrong building or a tree the way characters would in earlier AC games, but the repetition is at an all time high. There are more classic AC elements than in Black Flag, but that isn't saying much. This game is a bit of a backslide when compared to Origins, but this used to be an Action Adventure series that is being morphed into an RPG and I really didn't sign up for that. Perhaps cranking one out every year needs to be rethought to keep things fresh and cutting edge. Like I said I'm 48 hours into this game and I am maybe a third of the way through the main story. I intend to finish but another highly anticipated game comes out this week that will take precedent over this because that will truly the most cutting edge game released this year and probably for the next few.

I've not spent a single extra dollar on micro transactions so far and I certainly do not feel as if I have to buy any of the xp/gold time-saver boosters in order to fully experience the game. The in-game micro transactions store doesn't offer anything apart from cosmetic items and time-savers, such as: maps that reveal special hidden chests/items (which without paying, the players have to find on their own, while exploring the gigantic open world) and XP/Gold boosters which do cut the time you need to spend actually playing the game you purchased... I sure don't feel as if I'm grinding - completing quests, exploring tombs, caves, underwater shipwrecks, temples and also fighting ship battles for resources is great fun. There's so much to do and the majority of the quests are not boring. All of them are fully voice acted. There are many different progression systems and customization options in the game.

You can call this Witcher 3-lite as the inspiration from that game is almost unapologetic-ally the same game but set in the greek world. The story starts out great but peters of toward the end, including the extremely odd decision to make a massively important part to the main, overall story, a bloody side quest half way through the game. It makes absolutely no sense at all to me, especially for a series that desperately needs to find a way to bring the modern day elements that the series has been known for, and is the main plot point that is similar amongst all of the games, to a better spot. There are a ton of good things to go with this game, especially for anyone who played Witcher 3. Mostly because the good things from that game translate over here. The world is absolutely huge and there's tons to do with the Cultists side quest to the Mercenaries stuff here. And I enjoyed the combat system, which has improved upon the Origins massive changes to the series. It's a shame that all of the best stuff at the end of the game requires massive grinding because the main story won't get you to the point where you need to be at for, arguably, the more important things that come after the lackluster ending to that. AC really has developed an identity crisis with these last two games. Especially with this one as there's almost nothing here that relates back to the previous games. With the announcement that there won't be a game in '19 and the next installment will come in 2020, Ubisoft has alot of decisions to make regarding the future of the series. If they continue going down the route they have been with the previous installments, they need to make decisions on how to continue with the series, especially with the modern day elements of the series and whether to even keep them in the game. I'd say that it's time to get rid of it and focus entirely on each games individual setting and how that fits into the overall world. I don't know if I'd recommend this to series veterans looking for a return to form after the big change that Origins was. This game is almost geared more for the series newcomers who don't know much about the long history of the games.… Expand

It's not as deep as something you'd get from BioWare on this front when it comes to being able to constantly define your male or female character's personality or radically change where a quest will take you, but you're given the ability to impact key events in meaningful ways and put your own personal touch on the journey.

    This is a lot like Skyrim in that no matter where you go you'll always find something to do. The entire picture of what the main storyline is presenting is spread across three separate questlines, and that's in addition to the variety of side-stories and locations with their own checklist of objectives to complete that you'll encounter. There's a hierarchy of mercenaries you can climb through the ranks of, a secret web of cultists to uncover, and an entire ship with a crew to upgrade and collect resources for. There's a lot of flexibility in all of this too, like how you can stay on top of your gear either by upgrading your favorite pieces or ignore that option entirely in favor of just picking the next best choice out of the constant stream of newly acquired loot, and play in the immersive "Exploration mode" which removes waypoints forcing you to really pay attention to directions given by the NPCs. It's amazing how well all of these systems and really everything Odyssey does comes together. Everything except for the graphics that is...

    This is far from the prettiest game on the market. That's somewhat understandable given what a MASSIVE world with an increased amount of foliage compared to the deserts of Egypt it's rendering, but it's disappointing how I was never able to be blown away by these sprawling wildernesses due to it all looking like it was made out of clay. I do have some other, more minor complaints. Such as how the romance options are almost exclusively women, uncomfortably playing into that old stereotype of all gamers being either straight dudes or lesbians and severely limiting the choices for gay men and hetero females. The biggest though has got to be the modern day portion of the series. On top of still finding the new characters unlikable, I continue to have no idea what Ubisoft is even doing with it since they killed off Desmond in III and very little actually happens in this entry at all. It looks as though the Fate of Atlantis DLC provides some much needed direction going forward on this front, but given that I couldn't bring myself to make it through the free chapter of it they were nice enough to give away it remains an aspect of the brand they could abandon altogether and I wouldn't care.

    The ancient Greece segments which make up the vast majority of the experience however are fantastic. There might not be any mention of the assassin's or templars that along with the inclusion of mythological creatures has begun to make the overall AC lore kind of murky, yet I appreciate the route the property is taking from a gameplay perspective. So much content is here that even after 50+ hours of play there were still areas of the map I hadn't visited, and all of it is varied and interesting enough to justify doing for the many hours it will keep you busy. It makes for an epic adventure that I would genuinely say is one of the best RPGs I've ever played and easily my new favorite Assassin's Creed.    … Expand

I think of Odyssey like a Jack-of-all-Trades, but a master of none. It’s not the best RPG, it doesn’t have the best stealth, or even good combat. Its story is rather simple and there are only a few characters really worth mentioning. But I like that it has all of these elements and that they work well together.

    I do really enjoy the game so far and I plan on getting the platinum trophy on the PS4. That’s a claim for only a few games I own. Assassins Creed Odyssey is really fun to play. And I really love that it gave me a new curse word. Malaka, which I guess, is like calling someone an **** But hell, I will always give a game bonus points for teaching me a new way to curse.

    Now there is a pretty big issue I have with Assassins Creed Odyssey. As the name implies the game is about assassinations and stealth. Odyssey has 3 types of combat that break down to melee, bow, and assassinations. Melee and bow are pretty straightforward. They are not that elegant but you can mix the two together to make combat interesting and dynamic.

    However, assassinations are a bit lackluster. There are only a few ways to assassinate someone and that is by sneaking up behind them, jumping down from above, or using an assassin’s ability. This can feel a bit repetitive which sucks because it’s really the best way to kill people in the game. Assassinations do so much damage that you can’t avoid it. That brings me to stealth because that is even worse.

    The stealth in Assassins Creed Odyssey is literally just crouching in bushes. To become invisible you just crouch. The only additional option that you really have to mix it up is to hide in bushes. Hiding in the bushes make you completely invisible some times even to touch by the enemy. I wish they had added some variety to it like peeking around corners, pulling enemies from windows, etc. Because stealth and assassinations are so strong and easy I find myself just running around crouch stabbing people from enemy to enemy. This quickly feels like I am cheating the game a bit because it’s so simple and powerful.

    If you get caught and break stealth then all you really need to do is run away. It’s that simple no matter what happens you can always run away and then re-stealth. There is one exception I found while in a Fort. If found, one of the enemies can light a signal fire which signals other soldiers and that can make it tricky to continue. I actually like this mechanic because it encourages true stealth and not gaming the system. I wish the transition from stealth to combat were harder to disengage. This would make getting caught more dramatic and dangerous.

    My last gripe before I move onto a few more things I really like about he game is the climbing. All Assassins Creed games have this problem and I cannot believe it’s still the same old song and dance. The climbing is sporadic and hard to control. I tried to climb into a window for 2 minutes because Alexios (the male main character) kept jumping past it, then aside it, then back over it again. Alexios also will try and climb things while in combat when I didn’t mean it to happen. Yea, I probably suck but this should be a non-issue by now. This series has been out for 11 years!

    That being said I really do love this game. The world is vast and the quests are plentiful. It never seems to get too repetitive either. There is just enough story mixed into the side quests to keep me interested without feeling bogged down with information and the progression system keeps me coming back for more. I want to complete some quest I just picked up because it will give me a piece of gear that I want; Or maybe it will put me over the edge in experience so I can get a new ability.

    The continuing saga of one companies quest to become the most "woke"...

    AC Odyssey is actually really good. There's a ton of stuff to do, a massive open world that sees the return of naval combat, tons of side quests, improved combat over Origins, a diverse skill tree, spectacular visuals in 4k and some Greek mythology thrown into the mix for added flavor.

    Story is "present", but difficult to follow at times. At a certain point it just stops altogether and forces you to grind out side missions before you can continue the main game (gotta drive you into that in game store for XP boosters!). The AC story is so convoluted and confusing at this point, I'm not even sure Ubisoft knows what's going on anymore. Something about Atlantis I think.

    The typical PC nonsense that Ubisoft is quickly becoming know for is present here but thankfully secondary to the actual game.

    Massive open world that will keep completionists busy for a long time and good combat. Your mileage may vary with the story.    … Expand

    I like how you have the choice between 2 characters & to be guided or to explore and discover the world around you. The weapons are, for me at least, hard to work with as I have to keep going back and forth between weaponry to deal the most amount of damage.

    The game can be hard at times, even on easy, just because you have got some weapons and the way that the WARRIOR, ASSASSIN & HUNTER damage is managed is not properly explained. Just because a piece of armour protects you better does not mean it is the best for your character.
    The armour does not match some times and you have a sword that may do 80 damage and one that does 75 damage, but the 75 damage is the one that is better. Some of it makes less sense but the gameplay is good once that issue is looked past.

    Overall I'd say the game is worth paying for, even if you didn't really like Origins which I didn't. The setting is also abit more lively than AC:Origins.    … Expand

    It is a game filled with supreme visuals that beholds your curiosity to venture out in the medieval world. The game does well on the combat part but the problems are repetitive side missions and missions like where you need to hand a thing from one person to another instead of involving some puzzles. It has some decent RPG elements.

The story wasn't bad, the grinding system is a bit stupid, but I think Ubisoft will repair it. The armor and weaponary system is great, currently im with the Demigod set with The Wolf's Helmet.

Grind if you want, or don’t if you’d rather not. It is up to you. Choose your quests. Choose your protagonist.

    In my 180 hour (thus far) playthrough as Kassandra with a heavy stealth build, I’ve laughed, rolled my eyes, wondered what brilliant mind comes up with some of these things, and I’ve even cried (once). I’ve regretted some of my decisions and been pleased with others.

    As a prequel to the story of the Assassins and the Templars, there is quite a bit of tantalizing information to explore with regards to the Isu/First Civ and Pieces of Eden. The modern day component of the story, while brief, is very compelling.

    This is the best game that I’ve played since “The Witcher 3.” I’m taking a full point off of what I would otherwise consider a 10/10 game for the forced enemy level scaling. We should be able to choose to turn it off, if we’re so inclined.    … Expand

I have had the game crash on me a couple of times, once resetting my progress by half an hour which was annoying. Moving on to core game play, combat is fun while requiring a bit of learning to fully get the hang of it. Sailing, while sometimes tedious can be fun once your ship is upgraded, but luckily is used sparingly throughout the story. The story itself isn't incredible, but still interesting enough to keep me interested and involved. And the voice acting, while on average good, can get to points of being downright horrible, but these moments are few and far between. The two protagonists you can choose from, Alexios and Kassandra, both have the same story, but it seems Kassandra is better acted than Alexios, from the two playthroughs I have made. The gear system is an improvement over that of Origins, giving you full control on how you want t build your character, along with the skill trees. The trees are also much simpler compared to Origins, but only allows you to have so many skills at one time. So while Origins was more complex, you would make more use of all of the skills in that game unlike Odyssey. The world that the game sets you in, Ancient Greece in 431 BC is very in depth and fully realized maintaining a historical accuracy. In conclusion, the game is fun and enjoyable with the introduction of complete RPG options and makes it one of my favorite games of the year.… Expand

    Ok, So im a big fan of the assassins creed series and have played all the games through from the original. There are holes in the stories and themes that don't carry through the series but as i game i try not to dwell on this things and just enjoy it for what it is.

    It is a epic game with stunning visuals, The life and passion that is in the newest game is the best yet as you'd expect.    Ok, So im a big fan of the assassins creed series and have played all the games through from the original. There are holes in the stories and themes that don't carry through the series but as i game i try not to dwell on this things and just enjoy it for what it is.

    It is a epic game with stunning visuals, The life and passion that is in the newest game is the best yet as you'd expect. A sprawling landscape, Islands which require boat journeys, An array of locations in keeping with the Greek Theme. Sure the voice acting could improve but for what it is its not difficult to listen to and lets face it no one really buys this game for the dialogue or voice acting, its just a necessity to explain the story.

    Now on to my point, Everyone has had problems in the past with the assassins creed control system, If you say otherwise ill call you a liar, Everyones wanted to hop down off of a step but ended up either leaping to far or jumping up onto some close by pots. Or you want to scale down off of a building to avoid the enemy and end up leaping to your death. After a few swears you go back and try again normally with great success. Now with Odyssey i find the combat mechanics and general movement is the worst yet and its seems to be worse when your in combat or close to being in it. The controls feel laboured and slow, Someone turns red and swings a sword, you see them turn red and dodge but the dodge comes too late. I have this problem all the time, It feels at times there is a middle man between my controller and the console itself. Its like I'm explaining to someone what they need to do and they are pressing the buttons, a lot of the time just to late.

    The problems don't stop there. i can be making my way fro one location to the next in a straight line, all of a sudden my character will want to jump up on the boxes then to a roof top without you wanting that, Now most of the time it doesn't matter but when your in combat or being chased its infuriating, i Want to run around this building but wait a minute my character has decided to jump on this little brick wall and now won't jump off of it until you press the button to climb down even though its no more then shin height. Ive been climbing up a wall to avoid enemies all of a sudden the character stops as though there is an invisible blockage there, You move your character to the left then back to the right, all of a sudden you can carry on climbing. When I'm running along and just need to hop over a little brick wall it wont do it, i need to press the button to make my character jump, Then within two minutes I'm in a fight dodging around and trying to make some space but now my character will jump up on every ledge and wall and box or anything going, The problem now is it wont get down unless i press the button for it. The mechanics are just so inconsistent it makes the game infuriating.

    The next problem is the assassinations. The game is called assassins creed, the clue is in the title, But some many times i cant assassinate people from stealth i can only knock there strength down and have to go into combat with them. So why call it assassins creed? I know you need to level up and use the right armour etc to get your assassins level up but even after this i still cant assassinate people, So you just get pulled into an open fight where more guards come more shields that block your attacks. more archers that pepper you with arrows, people throwing flaming bombs, Then you have citizens that think ill have a go at that and they pick up weapons are start on at you. In the end your too out numbered to take on all of these people so its time to get out of there, But wait a minute yo have no sprint button as Ubisoft have removed that so it should be automatic, but instead of sprinting away fro the danger you make a half hearted plodding jog, The kind of run that you do in a dream, you want to run really fast but as much as you try you cant get that speed you want. As your making this slow run the arrows keep on coming until you turn a corner, but again this all depends if the system will let you hop over those boxes without pressing jump, or whether you can hop down off of that wall without having to tell it thats what you want to do. To me it feels like its been rushed like a lot of games these days its just churned out to bring in the money, the beta test seems to not exist anymore more and the paying public is that very beta test, We have to go online and complain about stuff until Ubisoft think ahhh we'll address that and bring out a patch.

    Stealth and hiding. So I'm hiding in a bush i see a guard i jump out and kill him, but wait another guard is just around the corner, no time to hide the body run off and hide in some other bushes. The guard sees the dead body, Now, Hmmmmm where would that guard search the bushes right next to the dead man? NO, The bushes that are about 5 meters away from the dead man? NO, The guard makes his way straight over to    … Expand
