    One of the most insane Assassin's Creed combats I've seen, incredible open world and very good customization, ship combat is also very good, but it suffers from the same thing as other Assassin's Creed RPGs, it's terribly boring after a while.

    I love this game! I've played it through twice now including the dlc and regularly pick it up to fight a conquest battle or two. OK, there's a massive exp block which effectively stops the story in it's tracks but I didn't find the plot so compelling anyway and just got on with the side quests, taking down forts, killing mercenaries and exploring the massive and beautiful open world.I love this game!

The only thing I didn't like was the naval battles which seemed clunky compared with the polished main game.… Expand

Only thing i didnt care much for was i opted for stealth since typically thats how assassins fight amd its seemed like 80% of all the exotic gear sets were warrior sets and the remaining 20% was split between hunter and stealth, so a lot of awesome gear drops just sat in my ships trunk.… Expand

An element of choice and consequence has been incorporated into the narrative allowing players to influence the story with their decisions. 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 feel like everyone should get the ultimate edition or at least get the dlc The Legacy of the First Blade that all the assassins have in almost every game now and it explains the bloodline of your character.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is debatably not an Assassin's Creed game and that is one reason why I loved it. If you've skipped a couple entries of the Assassins Creed game, you’ve missed a lot.

If you've skipped a couple entries of the Assassins Creed game, you’ve missed a lot. Assassins Creed Origins came out in 2017 and was a complete rework of established gameplay mechanics found in earlier entries. It leaned heavily towards an RPG game opposed to the traditional action/stealth game that previous Assassins Creed games were defined by. This drastic departure has resulted in many fans longing for the traditional gameplay, but with the release of Odyssey, Ubisoft doubled down on this style even more. If you were to show this game to someone who was stranded on a deserted island for the last four years, beyond the title screen, there is not much that would signal them that this was an Assassins Creed game. Also, there would be a lot more that you need to update this castaway on before showing them Assassins Creed Odyssey, but that is beside the point. Essentially, how you approach this game will heavily dictate how much you enjoy it. If you go into this game expecting your traditional Assassin's Creed experience, you may be disappointed. I recommend you approach this game with new eyes and an open mind to what the franchise might be evolving into.

    The Assassin's Creed franchise is no stranger to taking historical events and subverting the details to fit their characters; modifying the event to fit the game’s narrative. Odyssey opens up with an epic battle where you are fighting as King Leonidas at the battle of Thermopylae. I would regret not mentioning that you can absolutely Spartan kick your way across this entire game, like Leonidas did in the film ‘300’ (click that link, that scene is so satisfying). Though you only play the introduction as Leonidas, you continue the entirety of the game as one of his heirs, Kassandra or Alexios.

    Odyssey takes place in the historical setting of Greece during the Peloponnesian War. If you're not a history buff and don’t immediately know the context of this war, the quick summary is this: the Spartans were at war with the Athenians due to concerns regarding the growing power of the Athenian Empire. Throughout your journey you will encounter historical figures like Socrates, Hippokrates, Pythagoras and many more. These characters present you with quests or dialogue that directly connect to historical events and emphasize the complexities of the war. This history rich backdrop creates a perfect setting for Odyssey where players get to serve both sides and make choices that will impact the war. Odyssey introduces “Conquest Battles” where players can choose to partake in large scale battles fighting for either the Spartans or Athenians. I was not the biggest fan of this mechanic due to the pure chaos of these scenes, but it served the story well and drove home the impact of your choices.

    In my opinion, the biggest issue with this game is that the experience grind is far too slow and that story missions are gated by your player level. There was a similar mechanic in Origins, but the impact is far more hostile in Odyssey. There were times when I wanted to dive deeper into the main story, but was stopped due to my level-forcing me to then complete side quests. Many of which were quite boring. Side quests like generic fetch quests or “kill this animal” quests, lack the depth to justifiably pull you out of a compelling and entertaining story. It feels like Ubisoft intentionally slowed the overall character progression to nudge you towards buying an XP boost. There has been plenty of backlash due to this practice and hopefully we see this removed in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

    All in all, this does not feel like an Assassins Creed game... and that is okay. The story contains very little reference to the Templars and Assassins Order, but both groups are represented by philosophical concepts of order and chaos. Assassinations are far less reliable in this entry; trading in your hidden blade for a broken spear and a more direct combat approach. The player menus are unrecognizable from classic versions of the game where skill trees and armor selection screens now reside. While not a traditional version of Assassins Creed, I hope that this is the new formula that Ubisoft iterates on. There are classic elements that I wish were more present (like a larger emphasis on stealth and parkour) but I can’t deny that this is the most fun I have ever had with an Assassins Creed game. From the vast array of things to do in Assassins Creed Odyssey to the deep RPG mechanics that enable enjoyable gameplay, this is debatably the best entry in the Assassins Creed franchise. Assassins Creed Odyssey is truly an impressive game and a 9 out of 10 on the Busch League Gaming scoring metric.

The Ancient Greece of the game is very faithful, with MANY historical sites and statues, the game provides a very unique experience of visiting these places that today are only ruins and gives you texts about the history of these places. The story is very good, but a little cliché. The equipment system is very addictive, you always want to see a new armor at the beginning of the game, each piece of armor changes the look of the character. The equipment has a minimum level to be equipped. If your weapon or armor is at a much lower level than yours, you can go to the blacksmith to improve that item, or carve it to give it some extra skill.
    Stealth is in the game, however, you can only stealthily assassinate an enemy if it is at most two levels higher than yours. Each mission has a recommended level, and often, especially at the end of the game (the player is hyped to see the outcome of the story) the level of the mission can be more than TEN more than yours, forcing you to spend a lot of time doing side missions and grinding, unless you buy armor, weapons, xp, resources, crew for the ship, and other things with your real money. Practically all the customization items on the boat, like sailing, decorations on the ship's tip and crew skin, skins for the horse, are paid, which would be much better to release more of these items on missions.
    The story of the game is about before the assassins exist, it is about the origin of the Templars, which was because of disagreement with the Templars that the Order of Assassins was created, so that is why the game does not focus so much on stealth    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. AC Odyssey is certainly not bad.
    The World is absolutely breathtaking sometimes! The Synchronization Points offer great views!Graphically the Game also is awesome! The World might be huge and beautiful at times, it is empty, really empty.Some quests begin on one side of the Map, and actually are on the other side.
    The Story itself is good. You follow in the steps of your parents and you discover a secret cult and anyy other things. But you just have to level up your character really really often, which is a HUGE Grind in a SOLO Game. Yet you can skip it, only for Money.
    The Combat was a thing i loved in Odyssey. While it felt strange being a Spartan without a shield, it was bombastic and fun!
    The Quests were alright. Some would start on one end of the map and lead you to another. And almost always after visiting Athens, you are told to level up your character to progress in the story. Thankfully, most of the Side Quests were pretty fun.
    The Characters you meet are awesome too, they have got decent voice actors and really great Backstories.

    Verdict:
    In Overall, an 8/10.
    While being a huge grind once you progress and having a beautiful, yet empty and way too big open World, the Combat, The Graphics and the Story are awesome!

Так вот, на данный момент уже предпоследней части удалось удивить. Она не стала копией достаточно революционной и новаторской Origins, взяв лишь некие схожие очертания, она обросла своим относительно оригинальным содержанием. Прежде всего абсолютно новая боевая система, в которой к основным знакомым приемам нам подкинули еще 8 слотов для контактного боя и 4 для лука и это вот прямо находка, я вам скажу, бои стали просто исключительно интересными. Противники в Одиссее стали значительно мощнее и даже с самым слабым из них придётся повозиться, я уже не говорю о капитанах и особенно наемниках, которые практически являются минибоссами, а когда их приваливает больше двух, то как бы лучше делать ноги пока цел. А приходят они, исходя из принципа GTA - чем больше мы делаем шума и открыто валим всех подряд, тем больше наемников захочет нас размазать. Реально Одиссея на сегодняшний день самая сложная из всей серии АС игра, если в любой из предыдущих частей мы могли ввязываться в бои с любой численностью соперников в разумных пределах, то тут это чревато ибо и лучники тут хорошо стреляют и юниты ближнего боя прекрасно технически оснащены и могут очень быстро ушатать нашего персонажа с комбо, закидать взрывашками или поджечь. А ещё в Одиссее появились полноценные боссы и их тут с десяток наберется, с некоторыми из них очень даже пришлось повозиться. Того же Минотавра нам не удалось с первого захода с базовым набором приёмов и оружия приложить, лишь хорошо прокачав нашего Алексиоса, мы смогли унять супостата. Наконец-то сделали толково морские приключения. Бои на галерах, в отличие от посредственного исполнения в Ориджинс, в Одиссее прекрасны. В Одиссее просто огромнейшая карта, честно говоря, не припомню территорию больше чем тут. Мир игровой выполнен умопомрачительно превосходно, он живой настоящий и откликается естественно на вторжение в него. Кажется более насыщенного яркого и просто потрясающего наполнения я не видел никогда. Смена времени суток реалистична до безумия. И теперь это не просто день и ночь, но и завораживающий вечер. А какие тут восход и закат, просто бросаешь все, несешься к побережью и залипаешь. Касательно игрового процесса, кажется, ничего нового – аванпосты, поиски сокровищ, охота на животных, убийство конкретного персонажа, притом если это какая-то побочка, то возможно даже за то, что заказчику не понравилось как на него посмотрели. Я утрирую конечно, но частенько попадаются мисси вроде: «Ему не понравились мои стихи – убей его» или «Кажется она забрала мою корзину – ей не жить»...… Expand

    There is a lot to like in this game. However, the story is quite bloated, meaning that it will take a lot of effort to even finish the main quest. If this is something you like, I can definitely recommend this game. This does, however impact the pacing of the game in a bad way.

    Perhaps the best AC ever made.

    It is unquestionable now that the revision of the AC formula first presented to us in AC Origins has refreshed the gameplay and given Ubisoft a clearer direction of where this series should go next. When I first played Origins, I generally enjoyed the much needed changes to combat and character progression. However, I did feel like the game didn't really take advantage of those changes, as the way that the protagonist interacted with the world still seemed pretty basic to me.

    Odyssey, however is a whole other story.

    It takes Origins' gameplay and brings it to a new, lively world, where mercenaries want your head and you're caught in the fire of a bloody war between two powerful armies. Initially, you're only a misthios looking for wealth, but you soon come across a secret organization, who secretly dominate greek politics. A classic AC tale, which we have seen before, but the new cult hunting mechanic makes this chase much more personal. In some ways, I feel like this is what the developers of the first Assassin's Creed wanted their game to be.

    A good story, great RPG mechanics for you to find your play style, big world with interesting locations, gorgeus sights to behold and DLC content that feels like it could very well be an entirely new game. I'd definetely recommend this to lovers of the time period the game is set in and people who like action RPGs.

    I'm 150+ hours in, determined to get all the achievements and, while I do think that I have a well-grounded knowledge of the gameplay and missions structures, every new tweak in my skill set brings with it a new discovery about how I want to play this game.    … Expand

    Ubisoft, I realized the other day, have the innate ability to create games that are 8/10 material and AC:O is very much in line with that school of thought. By this I mean that Ubisoft tend to put out games that are just good. Not great, not game changing, not that memorable but consistently "good". I'm not saying that AC:O isn't a good game, i just put around 80hrs into it during lockdownUbisoft, I realized the other day, have the innate ability to create games that are 8/10 material and AC:O is very much in line with that school of thought. By this I mean that Ubisoft tend to put out games that are just good. Not great, not game changing, not that memorable but consistently "good". I'm not saying that AC:O isn't a good game, i just put around 80hrs into it during lockdown but I will say that now I'm done I can't really think of any standout moment but I just mindless spent 80 hrs roaming the map and killing things and generally being an overpowered demi-god and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

    The greatest strength of AC:O is easy to figure out; it is absolutely huge. The game world itself is absolutely sprawling and even though there are parts of the map where you'll likely die the second you try to fight something there until the end game, none of it is locked away from the beginning. You can travel to your hearts content you just will get slaughtered if you travel to the wrong bit too early. But besides that there is just so much to do. Sidequests must number in the hundreds, the main quest itself must be around 30 or 40 hours of gameplay. This is before we then delve into the newly added Mercenary ladder you can climb, the gladiator arena you can conquer, the mythical beasts you can slay, the legendary animals you can hunt, the huge network of cultists you can track down and assassinate across the map. There is a ton to do in the base game alone. I have recently only reached the point where I can start the DLC and I've put 80 hours into this game, its probably my most played game of the year.

    But here lies my problem with AC:O and indeed most Ubisoft games. There is a ton to do, most of it is decent but none of it spectacular. The combat system is solid and fun enough to keep you playing but fighting really boils down to figuring out which skill takes out the most health, using that skill and then waiting for the cooldown to expire to use it again. The bigger bosses of the game do require some strategy yes but this certainly isn't Dark Souls. The amount of quest content is ridiculous but unlike The Witcher 3 where the content was huge and almost all of it interesting and unique you never really get that feeling in AC:O. It's just another chore to undertake in the name of grinding out XP to unlock another skill. It gets repetitive. It is fun but it certainly gets repetitive.

    My main gripe with the game is that there is plenty to see and do but none of it is particularly enthralling to do. The story included. In fact I had more fun just roaming the lands than I ever did advancing the story. Characters were annoying and hard to connect to on any personal level. When main characters in this story died I genuinely could not have cared less. During one scene obviously intended to have emotional weight I was skim reading the subtitles and skipping dialogue. Thats a bad sign for your games story when the player is doing that.

    So the story isn't the best but the open world roaming is fun. There is plenty to explore and do. You can happily spend hours bouncing from fort to fort, killing and maiming everyone you face in a sort of mildly challenging and mildly fun manner. The world for the most part looks very pretty and there is a ton of verticality in the map which comes in handy since by far the most fun thing to do in the game is to throw people from great heights to kill them. It basically never gets old and the more important the enemy the funnier it gets. I killed the head a cult branch who the game bigs up as some scary warrior by running up and simply booting them off a cliff they were looking out from and watching them ragdoll hilariously hundreds of feet to their death.

    I think ultimately the game is fun but it feels oversaturated. You will pick up literally hundreds of different weapons (there are some 7 or 8 different classes of weapon), bows, helmets and all other armor. They all sort of become blurred together because until the end game you just equip the one with the biggest number and during the endgame you will have one legendary set you never take off. There are a few different enemy types but really its just button mashing and the same skill moves over and over.

    It is, in the end, one big, huge grindfest and if you're into that, as I am, then you'll pass the time quite pleasantly. But honestly I often sit there literally whilst playing AC:O and think "I should play something better" but I never quite do. You sit there and sort of settle into this rhythm of "this is pretty good". Thats the problem though its a good one to have, everything is just mundanely decent. The best open world games do what AC:O does but better, when I'm playing RDR2 or Witcher 3 I'm consistently having a lot of fun. When I'm playing this it just feels good fun but shallow. It is by no means a bad game but there certainly are better open worlds to explore out there.    … Expand

    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

    Conclusion

    The lore and setting of Ancient Greece are fun and intriguing, offering plenty to be discovered and explored. The world is rather detailed and as another user put it, immersive, making it easy to get lost in the world of Ancient Greece. The map is large, the largest of any AC game so far I believe, but I don't view that as a problem personally. If you give me areas to explore, I'll explore them, simple as that.
    The RPG elements introduced in Origins have been improved on, providing an even more open world with more areas to explore and things to find. The visuals and voice acting are great, and the dialogue options are refreshing for the franchise, after many games of your character forming their thoughts and opinions entirely on their own. The romance options aren't something I delved too far into, though I'm glad I don't have to spend any longer watching my character woo a female prostitute to help them in their bidding. More choice is introduced than ever before, adding to your own immersion into the world.
    Both Alexios and Kassandra are engaging protagonists regardless of who you choose, though I personally preferred the latter. The main story is tragic and fun, and through the right choices, a happy ending is possible. Kassandra or Alexios will travel between the lands of Ancient Greece in the search for their family and who they really are, while dodging Mercenaries, hunting Cultists, and even participating in the Peloponnesian War as they do so. The main story is a bit long, though again, I don't see that as a problem. If the main story is too short, what's the point of the game?
    The game also offers many optional elements, such as participating in Conquest Battles, doing side quests, and purchasing DLCs. Both of the DLCs made for intriguing additions to the game, with the Fate of Atlantis DLC diving even deeper into the lore of Ancient Greece than the main story had itself.
    Some may complain about the "bloat" of the game. And while I agree that it is large, there is no one pressuring you to do every single side quest that pops up on the map. I don't know crap about game development, and even I know that more little quests will pop up eventually because it's part of an algorithm. There is plenty of content available to enjoy in AC Odyssey, and while every little side quest may not be its own great adventure, the game as a whole certainly is a hell of an Odyssey.
    It may be different from the earlier games, but in my opinion, the franchise needed some redirection. Odyssey was quick to become my top game of the franchise. 10/10    … Expand

    While understandably not for everyone, Odyssey continues to go to places beyond any the series has ever seen. Like Origins before it. Odyssey's greatest strength is its world, an evolving encapsulation of unique characters, interconnected and branching stories, and locations that are just too beautiful too ignore. The immersion has never been on such grand a scale as it is here.

The immersion has never been on such grand a scale as it is here.

    While the grind to achieve your own godhood can be a tedious affair, it's in this grind that helps prevail an overbearing sense of achievement and fulfillment; physically earning your place amongst the echelons of gods and men, while graciously earning just rewards to help tip the fight ever more in your favor.

    Perhaps the series' biggest advancement is the branching narrative; either as Kassandra or Alexios, the story plays to the beat of several emotional moments, centered around family and destiny and finding one's place amongst a world full of gods and monsters. From beautiful beginning to absolutely stunning end (all DLC included), the aptly named Odyssey delivers one of the series most well-rounded stories to date.

    The few smudges that tarnish an otherwise beautiful presentation are present in most dialogue sequences, where lip synching isn't quite right and character models can often recycle after awhile, albeit with new hair and clothes. Most dialogue sequences also have a tendency to feel static, a painful reminder of early Mass Effect days where models talk but don't engage as much.    … Expand

But after I've been Leonidas at the battle of Thermopylae, a friend of Sokrates and Hippocrates, after sailing the Mediterranean sea far and wide and climbing dozens of colored statues and decorated temples, I feel like I have been Greek in another life. The main story is very captivating and emotionally immersive. Gameplay is lots of fun, I never get tired of whistling from the bushes and backstab soldiers. So why just 8 and not 10? ROMANCE, this game's Achille's heel. As a heterosexual, romantic woman I found nothing worthy, just a random doctor somewhere that I never met again. Romances are a very important part of videogames for me and it was a huge letdown. The first time I tried AC Odissey I abandoned the game after discovering Brasidas was not an option. Then I played it again hoping in the fan-made stories, but they are awful. I finished the game and loved it regardless, but I'm angry.… Expand

    The environment is breath taking in its beauty, verity and details. It is almost can it be better. For living world (peoples society and animals) also good, but they can do better in terms of living matters and graphics specially for human. 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. I but put 10 to balance, because I know a lot's of unprofessional rating the game low blindly.    … Expand

    Great game, big time value for your money. Especially if you can catch it on sale. The base game is extremely packed with content. The DLCs are the same. If you like the AC series, in particular the direction Origins took the games with the RPG elements, this is a must have.

    NOT SO GREAT STUFF:
    - ... which can also be exhausting. At first I was playing to visit all the places and unlock _everything_. Eventually I had to take a break from the game because it was so exhausting. Couple of months later I came back to finish the story.
    - The story was good until the very end which was disappointing for me.
    - The concept for the Nation Powers and Conquest battles is great. There's only a huge flaw in conquest battles. In every RPG I always play the sneaky-type characters (and this game is ASSASSINS Creed so you're kinda supposed to..) but upon entering the conquest battle you're immediately forced into combat. This means you're unable to sneak or use majority of your assassin abilities leaving the whole assassin build unviable for these big battles.    … Expand

    It's assassins creed so basically it's the same as every other assassins creed game that's gone before with the added thrill of ship combat. Hand to hand combat is still meh but ship combat actually gives you a challenge and this is probably the best part of game, as you would expect the map is stunning, if you ever wanted to visit Greece then this is for you.

    So far I am 93 hours into the game and still having fun in the world of Ancient Greece. If you love open world adventure GET THIS GAME. Even though it is a departure from the core mechanics of the original Assassin's Creed games the new RPG style, realised first in Origins, leaves you feeling like a Greek god.

    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

The graphics are beautiful, and the only complaint I have about them is that they aren't as polished as Red Dead. Microtransaactions in this game are very prevalent, and incredibly irritating. The massive amount of content for sale after already buying the full priced game is very frustrating. Right now, I'm not letting this affect my score, because I believe more in rating the game as it is. Even without the any DLC, there's an insane amount of content in this game, and many hours will be spend before even half of the map has been reached!

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

This game places you directly into a land of adventure, politics, and family turmoil. I was wonderfully surprised how many things to do there are in this game. Back in 2007 when I first played Assassins Creed I was drawn to the interesting world but was quickly bored with the lack of unique things to do in the game. Now 11 years later that problem is gone.

    I am about 37 hours into the game at this point and have not finished it but I cannot put it down. Assassin Creed Odyssey is not perfect in anyway but that’s almost what I like about it. 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.
