    Assassins Creed Odyssey is just like the epic poem but not in verse but in content. 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.

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.

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

    AC Odyssey is actually really good.

    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

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

    TL;DR spoiler-free Review.

    Similar to Origins in many regards, the combat is a bit better, but it feels too bloated with side content and grind.

    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

    - 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

    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

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

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    Beautiful game after it was optimized for Series X/S. I'm enjoying it a lot.

    My god this game is LONG like holy crap. The story is fantastic it's basically pre Assassin's Creed and tempest and explains what happened in the very beginning. 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.

    The best AC yet, with finessed game design, gorgeous visuals and great narrative. [Christmas 2018, p.79]

    It was yet another good game from Ubisoft and I always like to be an Assassin again. I look forward to seeing if the next Assassin’s Creed game will be just as big as Odyssey, although not too big please.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is plenty of fun, and it’s a solid turnaround for the franchise. The future of the franchise is bright.
