    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,    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

    Definitely the best game of the Assassins Creed series. I fell in love with Alexios and the Greek setting and storytelling sourrounding him.

    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! I can’t stop playing it.

I'm glad This franchise went full RPG because though it may be as good as the witcher, it comes pretty damn close.

    Without doubt the best AC in the series. Even if it's very similar to Origins I can't understand the complaints. Many things feel like Origins but in better way and because of the trolls giving it zero I will contribute my point with a 10/10. Love the work and great job to all of you in the staff!

    Let's start by saying that the graphics here are absolutely stunning. The World, here ancient Greece, is absolutely breathtaking and of a massive scale. By far the best I have seen so far, rivaling with the Witcher 3's expansive world (without The Witcher's expansions of course).

    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.

    ABSOLUTELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!    … Expand

    As an AC maybe not so good. But the franchise as a franchise has sucked for a long time. Look at this as a separate RPG and it’s a gem. Huge open world to explore, big forts to defeat, great setting, good enough story, great visuals, especially on Xbox One X, and fun combat. If you want a big game for the money, this is great.

    GRAPHICS: 2/2
    Ubisoft didn’t just make a few cities in Greece for their game. They made ALL OF IT. And it feels like they did, too. Everywhere you go there are gorgeous busts and statues, temples, altars, and residences that are all fully realized.

    STORY: 2/2
    Four main storylines. Every location story has its own stuff going on. I was on an island where I helped a young child make some friends while also meddling in “The Bachelor: Greece Edition”.

    AUDIO: 2/2
    On a regular basis, around twice or more per hour, when you talk to an NPC, you or the character will interrupt each other mid-sentence and say lines on top of each other. It’s annoying. [...] But that's hardly a complaint.

    GAMEPLAY: 2/2
    There are many on the internet who say this game has become too action oriented. Sure, the formula has been changed, but it’s been heading this way for a while now. The fact is, you can still play this game stealthy if you want to.

    FUN: 2/2
    I am willing to forgive [the microtransaction for EXP & money] because it was on me to make that choice in the end. I could have bucked up and cleared out every single icon on the map to take the game nice and slow. But, be that as it may, I cannot stop playing this game.    … Expand

    By far my favorite entry in the series. Origins was a huge improvement in gameplay mechanics but Odyssey's inclusion of dialogue options and choice of gender makes it feel like a true RPG. If they continue down this path, every AC game will be a must play for me.

    Controls extremely well, and an absolutely gorgeous game. The setting really just pulls you in. You really feel like you're a Spartan or Athenian or whatever. I like the new rpg-like system. I personally don't think this game should be called Assassin's Creed, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an amazing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When they showed the game at E3 I was disappointed and I was thinking that this game will suck. But HOLY **** I was wrong. That game is awesome, I agree that its one of the best in the series, but for me its not better than Origins. The world and the characters are amazing, Sometimes I was having a problems with the animation, but there are bugs and glitches in every game. 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. I think this game should be nominated for GOTY. Ubisoft did a great job with this game… Expand

    It's bigger and better than Origins in pretty much every way except imo the location isn't as nice but the graphics are far more polished. It looks incredible in 4k on the X and the story while far from perfect is still ok. It's probably an 8.5.
