    assassin's creed odyssey is not an assassin's creed game just like black flag but that's not a bad thing odyssey is very fun I have played it for over 80 hours and it didn't got boring but the game have some flaws texture pops glitches and why do you have dialog options I'm not saying that I don't like the dialog options but its messing with the lore Ubisoft said the actual mane characterassassin's creed odyssey is not an assassin's creed game just like black flag but that's not a bad thing odyssey is very fun I have played it for over 80 hours and it didn't got boring but the game have some flaws texture pops glitches and why do you have dialog options I'm not saying that I don't like the dialog options but its messing with the lore Ubisoft said the actual mane character was Kassandra then why can you choose who your character is like what if the lore was Kassandra was a good person but you played Kassandra as a evil person it doesn't make any sense to me but the game is enjoyable and all the people who said the game is grindy it's not it's all about exploring a beautiful world doing the yellow side quest (ya don't do the grey ones) meeting characters (my favorite character is the gay guy he's fun to talk too and the gay joke are actually funny) 10/10 must buy. and thank you for reading my nonsense and looking at my bad spelling and grammar.… 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.

    If you liked ORIGINS and thought it was a great game and an interesting change for a franchise that just needs a bit of enchaining, this one will disappoint you (a lot).

    ODYSSEY feels like a twice-as-big bootleg version of ORIGINS. While the graphics were simply outstanding and beautiful, the animation, especially mouth movements, were embarrassing.

    I hated playing this game, I really did. I genuinely wanted to stop several times and just 'quit'.
    I feel the next games of Assassin's Creed are going to be more detached of what it means to be an AC game, which is one of my most notable criticisms of ORIGINS. I don't think this open-world thing is good for the franchise at all. It's not fun to play AC anymore, not even the mythology could save ODYSSEY.

    I will definitely be skipping the next one if it's just another 'more annoying version of Origins'. I really really hope for a serious change, cause this isn't working for me or other fans of the franchise. I really can't believe people are handing out 10s for this.    … 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!
    I would consider Origins better than this, yet only slightly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 3/23/21-5/2/21 100% Story 100% Side Quests 100% DLC 128hrs

    I finally finished it! I tried to play through this one on the PS4 last year and became very frustrated which caused me to drop it. It definitely did have some amazing parts, but there was way too much fluff for it to be perfect.

    The story follows Alexios (in my case, instead of Kassandra-who may have been better) a mercenary who is trying to track down his family in the most boring and convoluted way possible.

    Following a bread crumb trail through a version of Ancient Greece where everyone sounds like Count Dracula for some reason, he is able to find a way to look and sound wooden in even the most heart felt situations (Includes plenty of forgettable characters and meaningless deaths).

    There are a few really stand out set pieces and ideas. Top of the list would be the hunt for the Isu artifacts that bring you in to confrontations with for mythical Grecian creatures-including battling a Cyclops in a volcano, the Minatour's Labyrinth, and a Gorgon in a creepy forest of petrified people/statues. And the conquest battles were pretty cool, too (there were just way too many).

    I think that is the only (non-story/character) problem-everything is great, there's just too much of it. You can have a great time clearing a fort and barely escape alive, only to realize that there are hundreds more forts and camps copied and pasted throughout the land.

    The combat and leveling system was done very well. It was enough to stay interesting (despite many respecs) through the whole 128 hours I put in to the game. I was able to try out all of the skills and abilities for a good chunk of the game before moving on to the next build. I think the most fun I had with the game was playing a stealthy assassin. Warrior builds took forever to kill anything and Hunter builds were almost too easy and required precious crafting materials to do any damage.

    It was a bit of a bummer the way they scaled the levels so that the enemies were never too far below you, making everyone seem like a bullet sponge (except for arrows/swords).

    Ship combat was also handled well. You certainly don't have as many tricks as you do in Black Flag, but recruiting Lieutenants and being encouraged to cleave ships in half were both great additions

    There is also a system for hunting members of the villainous Cult of Kosmos that deserves a shout. Finding clues to uncover each target or coming across them at random felt really cool. The Mercenary system was a bit similar. While initially seeming like a real headache to have dangerous enemies rolling up on you in the middle of a quest, when I leaned into the mechanic I found myself going out of my way to hunt these guys down.

    Everything that was done well here was done better afterward in Valhalla, but I'm still glad I played it if only for the cool Isu questline.

    Also, I really hate the present day stuff. Layla Hassaan is a crappy character and her voice actress is the worst in a game full of terrible voice acting. I never cared what she was up to and every section she is in had me rolling my eyes out of my sockets.

    I did play through the DLC as well as the main story. Legacy of the First Blade was a bit disappointing, but it did give you another version of the Cult of Kosmos-so it was worth it just for that. It also ties in to AC Origins in a cool sort of way.

    Fate of Atlantis had some excellent pieces, but they really went a bit too far with the height of everything. Climbing for twenty minutes to get to up to a fort is not enjoyable and basically counts as loading time. Still worth it for the extra story and additional lands to explore.

    Overall, a great game with some fantastic ideas-but don't show up for the story!    … Expand

Odyssey takes the Origins formula and just adds tons of content for the sake of adding content. Odyssey has more naval battles, more mercenaries, more forts, more rpg dialogue trees, more bandit camps, more cities, and more fighting. All of these things get rather boring very quickly because it's a quanity over quality design which leaves everything feeling unfinished or hollow. The new gear and leveling system doesn't feel as rewarding as Origins. The combat is slightly more complex but the animations are choppy and only a few of the abilities really offer any meaningful damage. I played both games on Nightmare and Odyssey feels very grindy, I can never get ahead with gear, every encounter or fight is a grind. I'm 20hrs into this game and I just don't see myself finishing because the basic gameplay gets old fast and the grind for xp is just so obvious. I would love to see how my impression of the game changed if I had XP boosters but I'm not going to encourage ubi's disgusting microtractions. I think this game could have been better if the devs were just allowed to make a good game instead of making a game that encouraged people buy addictional content from the shop. The dialogue, characters, combat and stealth are ok, but something just feels off and I fairly confident the xp grind is the problem.… Expand

    I waited for a sale before buying this game and I'm STILL disappointed in my purchase. Could someone please explain to me why the game got such glowing reviews by the professionals because this game is a mess.

The design and modeling of Greece looks fantastic but that's not surprising since they're using the same engine and design as AC Origins before it. Beyond the looks, however, everything is a mess.

    Combat is janky, frequently missing inputs or so laggy that dodging and parrying fails to properly register. The mercenary system is horrible, with bounty hunters often just showing up out of nowhere and able to track you with God-like omnipotence. There's practically no real need or emphasis on being a stealth Assassin in this ASSASSIN'S Creed game. Enemies can spawn under textures and still hit you. Movement is floaty and imprecise. Ship combat is the worst it's ever been. The further you get into the game, the more it turns into grind for the sake of grinding... you can't progress without doing hours upon hours of boring busywork (unless you're willing to open your wallet and throw out real money, which is what Ubisoft wants).

    The story is somewhat decent but horribly cliche and very predictable at times. The romance options feel absolutely shoe-horned in. Maybe they intended it to be this way but I could give less than a crap about either Athens OR Sparta -- they both come across as jerks who deserve to lose. The voice overs sound like bad imitation accents. Ubisoft had a great opportunity here to have the characters all actually voiced in Greek with the option for other language subs but, instead, we get guys who sound like they're trying too hard to sound like Greeks speaking English.

    Another tiresome checklist game by Ubisoft designed to sell you microtransactions.

    - 20 hours into this game. This whole "hold assassination button" and "hold dodge button to roll to put out flames" is stupid. The saves are TERRIBLE. The hold A to assassinate is completely unresponsive and has ruined MULTIPLE stealth attempts because of the unresponsive controls. You pretty much need the 6th sense perk just to compensate for how unresponsive the hold A assassination is. This game took Origins' annoying "assassination doesn't actually assassinate" to a whole new level. You pretty much need to hold A for 90% of enemies in game. These teleporting ultra agro mercenaries are annoying, and the fact that killing regular in-game enemies sets them off makes for awful gameplay. I just had to redo an entire mission because at the very end of a fight at the end, a high level mercenary came and shot me with a fire arrow. I held B to put out the fire, but the button didn't work in time and I died right away. No checkpoint of any kind during that mission apparently.

    Main complaints I have (mostly compared to Origins):
    - The Assassin, Warrior, and Hunter damage mechanic is unnecessarily confusing;
    - Complete lack of stealth based game options (no poison darts, no flesh decay arrows, can't even one shot an enemy in the head with an arrow, and assassinations don't actually one-hit a lot of the enemies;
    - Skill tree is a massive step back on Origins (again, I want more stealth kill options);
    - The boar enemies are so unbelievably difficult for what they are.
    - The cutscenes are not great. Alexios looks confused all the time and the facial expressions look like they're glitched or something. Bayek cutscenes were way better. Why do Alexios' eyes need to move around the way they do? It's like a baby looking at a colourful object.
    - The mercenaries are way too aggressive and teleport way too fast, and they shouldn't be getting aggro'd because you beat enemies in an area (non Spartan or Athenians, literally just thugs).
    - The boat combat is annoying and often redundant. Two separate missions now, by the time I got to my boat to undock it, the Athenian or Spartan navy wiped out the enemy I was supposed to kill. Fine I guess, except those same navies make everything near impossible in the ocean without spending crazy money on upgrades.
    - Several loading screens, and they're long.
    - A fair amount of crashes.
    - Movement around the map is annoying and tedious at times. The horse does a full 180 at the slightest bump on a hill, climbing rocks is a glitch fest, or just very slow at best, and there are A LOT of rocks.
    - Really bad level design on some missions. I just wound up wiping out an entire fort, 7-8 elite enemies, a leader of an area, all because my objective (a door) was there. It cost me 2000 drachmae just to pay off the bounties I got during this fight. Update: Once again, I was tasked with multiple objectives within an enemy fort. This resulted in me wiping out the entire fort.
    - The fact braziers can get lit without you actually getting caught. Results in an endless stream of enemies and forces you to spend thousands on paying off mercenaries that teleport to you (unless you want to fight two mercenaries and an entire fort at once).
    - The choice system, though a nice add, is very unrefined and makes for weird unpredictable dialogue and in-game consequence.

    Main improvements:
    - Combat (mainly the blunts, spears, and daggers are usable now, dodging works better, enemy combos are less annoying);
    - Entire mercenary system is better minus the teleportation and unnecessary aggro;
    - Entire conquest/leader system is very fun;
    - Storyline itself is atypical of an AC game, but in a good way.

    Ultimately I would recommend this, but it's even further away from AC style games than Origins so don't expect a stealth driven experience. I thought Origins gear system, stealth combat, skill trees, and cutscenes were better. I doubt these opinions change so I'll leave this review up.

    On the game, so far it's a 4/10, mostly being faulted due to extremely frustrating mechanics that often break the game (teleporting aggressive mercenaries, unresponsive "hold button" controls. The storyline does tie into the Isu and Templar-ish storylines so it's not just a random Greek game as others have indicated. The AC game's lore has always involved Isu and artifacts. It's never been just a history stealth game, and if you like the series, you really should immerse yourself in the Isu storyline because it's a very cool concept on humanity's origins. It's a nice blend of sci-fi, and fantasy.

    Ultimately it's fun, but extremely frustrating at times, and it feels like this was not properly play-tested. I want my poison darts back, I want arrows that will actually kill basic enemies on headshots, and I want to just be able to regularly press A for a kill, not hold it. Half the time by the time it's done being held, the enemy is alerted and I'm dragged into a fight with 42 enemies    … Expand

The narrative improves upon Origins, with Odyssey being a fitting title. The bounty mechanic and cult system offer long term goals that never feel overbearing.

    On the other hand, the Hunter/Warrior/Assassin RPG elements don't work very well, as its never really possible to stick to one of these play styles. The combat is almost unavoidable, and it can often takes an age to kill enemies if you are unable to instantly assassinate or headshot (with necessary ability). Quest variety and enemy variety is still lacking also. There is also way too much legendary loot to find, unless your look to customise your ship/horse, where there is very little.

    It has enough content to keep you playing until you forget what you're playing for. Its as fun as the last game. Even so, it's still not able to reach the heights better games in the genre have managed to reach.    … 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

    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".

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

    - ... 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

    Les graphismes sont bons mais l'histoire est ennuyeuse. Très différent des précédents Assassin's et n'est plus le même qu'avant. C'était vraiment ennuyeux. En espérant que Valhallah pourra rattraper le coche.

Although there are new RPG elements that will likely turn many off from it, they aren't overly prevalent. I've made several decisions so far, and it's interesting to see how these play out. The grind some are describing really hasn't been an issue. I've leveled naturally just by going around and doing things. 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! I do recommend this game, but if you buy it, don't buy the microtransactions. Ubisoft needs to realize that these aren't ok.… Expand

However, this is such an atrocity. God, this was awful. They scrapped the amazing free run system that was in Unity and Syndicate. Now, you can climb everything. There is no depth.

It always messes with my anxiety and I end up not being able to play long. I heard that this game really took out a lot of what made AC, AC. So, I was interested. When I installed it, I never knew I'd be so invested while simultaneously frustrated. I completed the main game and all its dlc. I'll go over the main game first.

    Main Game:

    The game I played has its ups and downs. I'll talk about the story first. I absolutely loved it. I don't know much about the entire Obstergo thing, but the main game with Alexios (you can also play as Kassandra), was super fascinating. The story itself and the entire Cult of Kosmos had me constantly wondering who was who. There were many times where I wasn't expecting something to happen. There were characters that I actually felt sad over if they left. The writing in this game is unbelievable.

    The writing for Alexios was fantastic. The choices I could make made me feel like I was playing a Fallout game, but have lesser consequences on the world as a whole. The first major decision I made had me regretting it for the rest of the game, but it didn't have that much impact on anything else. There were a couple decisions to make with the cultists that are brought up later, but all I could say is make the best decision you can and don't really worry about the outcome. The writing makes you really decisive in whether to help someone, end their life, or just tell them to go away. With the writing, I really became attached to many of the characters.

    Characters like (I'm going to butcher these because I am not looking them up) Barnabos, Heradatos, Phoibe, Markos, etc. were all a ton of fun. I actually expanded their dialogue as much as possible because I just found them interesting. Most of the characters in this game are like that and it really helped me through this insanely long game.

    Another thing that helped me is that I visited every question mark this game had to offer. Every camp, cave, legendary animal has been eradicated. Unfortunately I missed a few underwater locations, but they never showed up on my map, so screw it. The main game made the camps fun to discover, find some quest items early, and complete. It was all very satisfying to me. I always do side quests first, so a lot of the times I completed quests before speaking to the characters.

    Most of the quests were fun for the main game, but very "go and get this and bring this back". It became frustrating to go back to a fortress to get one item I missed after clearing it out already. That's my fault though for trying to jump ahead. None of the enemies gave me much trouble in the main game and clearing out these bases was just fun. Completing these bases helped me upgrade my character.

    Upgrading Alexios is probably my favorite thing about this game. There are so many combinations that I made this guy into an assassin machine. The upgrades to your weapons and armor were super fun to customize and strategize. Although in the end of the main game, I was slicing through everyone regardless of my setup. Playing a certain way though was fun because I launched my assassin skills up and butchered everyone.

    The abilities to upgrade was fantastic. It became overwhelming at around level 50 however as even more upgrades open up. It just made the ability points I got from the DLC way more worth it. It was a serious blast upgrading everything and cost very little drachmae to respec

    I actually liked sneaking in this and ironically became an assassin. As mentioned early, sneaking in games screws with my anxiety, but not here. Since the enemies were pretty easy to take down, it was more of a strategy. At first, before I started upgrading abilities, storming a fortress was a little anxiety inducing because they could light the pyre for backup. After a while I basically zoomed through. It became a lot more fun, hence why I completed everything.

    The combat with the boats was a blast once I upgraded my ship. It's still a little wonky as you can just spam arrows and call it a day. There were a few cultists that you need a boat for, but you could just sink it and still get their items.

    If I didn't buy the dlc, I would have had a good time where it ended. The game does an unfortunately great job in making you wonder where it's all going to go though. Even though I bought the dlc earlier on, I was still captivated in the end. I really wanted to know how the story ended. It's a gripe that everything wasn't really "concluded" until the END end, but whatever, I enjoyed the writing.

    So, to sum everything up, I'd say this game is worth buying. The quests are fun, although there are a ton of fetch quests, the writing is fantastic and the game mechanics will keep you glued to your display. The DLC is pretty hit or miss, but if you enjoyed the main game story, then you'll probably enjoy that.    … Expand

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed AC: Origins, and thought I would like this game as well. However, as much as the scale of the game was improved, it feels as if the game play was made worse. Ill start with what I like about the game. First, the graphics and sound design are very well made. This is one of the best, if not the best, looking AC games. The views are beautiful and the sounds in the game are crisp. The voice acting is also well done. The armor and weapon look customization make it great to mix and match armor set appearances to make your ideal ancient greek mercenary. The story starts of really well yet it loses its appeal quickly. Now for the bad. The plot feels like a repeat of Origins. A cult is taking over and they hurt your family, go kill them. This was done better in Origins, as Bayek felt more likable than both Kassandra and Alexios and his motive felt stronger. While you do get some dialogue choices to try to make them feel how you want them to, they rarely feel meaningful. A lot of your choices lead no where and just end up being "take quest or dont". Only a handful of choices ever end up affecting the world. Additionally, after about halfway through the game, the story feels weak. Theres not much a reason to hunt down the cult other than they are hunting you and your mother and took your brother (who is now part of the cult). The game fails to deliver any sort of personal threat from the cult. After you meet your mother, she is never in any danger from the cult whatsoever, and neither are you. The mercenary system (which just feels like a lazy way of adding extra enemies to restricted areas) couldve been used better in this regard, such as having the cult send mercenaries after you throughout the game. At the end of the story, not much pays off. The ending lacks any sense of emotional tension and ends abruptly. The cult is a long grind to hunt down as they are scattered among side objectives and different nations, which you very nearly have to do all side quests in a region to find the cult member in it. Now the combat. The ship combat is great, especially when cleaving ships in half or boarding them. Normal combat feels horrible at least until youre high lvl, at which point it only feels a bit better but still not entertaining. Every enemy is stronger than you, period. They have more health, deal more damage per attack than you do, and can actually use a shield. Hitting an enemy barely does any damage, no matter how well upgraded your weapons and armor are. Only legendary armor sets have any noticeable effects on damage. Melee weapons feel like youre hitting someone with a tree branch, and bows feel as if you just threw pebbles. The best way to improve this is legendary armor sets, however you only get those from either completing lengthy quest lines or hunting all cultists within a branch. You could choose to play stealthily, but you will soon find that "assassinations" very quickly stop doing enough damage after a few lvls. How do you fix this? Find cult artifacts to upgrade your spear, which can be found on cultists. Which you have to spend multiple hours hunting down, and each time you upgrade the spear it needs more artifacts to be upgraded. In fact, you cant fully upgrade the spear until you kill all the cultists, at which point you will have nearly nothing left to do in the game (I finished everything in the main game and did not bother with the dlc). Another way to upgrade your damage is through skills, which are funnily enough capped depending on your spear level. Great. Or you could just wait till you reach lvl 50 and unlock legacy skills. These allow you to increase damage or protection percentages. Sounds great until you realize theres three branches, each with around 30 skills, each with about 20 levels. You only get 1 skill point per level and the xp requirement increases each time you go up a level. Not only do the boss fights feel like an mmo, but also the damn leveling. I heard a lot of good things about this game, namely that it was a good rpg. I play a lot of rpgs and theyre my favorite genre of game. I hated this. The rpg elements felt like they were implemented by a team who had a very rough idea of what rpg mechanics were. The story felt uninteresting right about after you rescue your mother and loses its tension and structure quickly. Each main quest consists of three split quests which you can do at any time but are usually menial jobs, which can each split into three as well. So it ends up being "do six menial tasks to see a little bit more of the story." Overall, my opinion of the game is low. The rpg mechanics are handled poorly, the combat and stealth are unsatisfying and require a lot of grind to improve, boss fights feel like mmo boss raids, and the story is poorly structured. This fails as an rpg and as an AC game. However, this game does provide an interesting look at a rarely explored setting and made me more interested in learning about ancient Greece in general.… Expand

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

    The map is too big and too similar across each region and even with fast travel it takes too long to reach any destination.
    The main character is bipolar and makes no sense apart from shouting MALAKAS every second.
    The story is meh. And after playing hundreds of hours and finishing the game you will realise that you wasted your time.
    And finally, the game bearly feels like an Assassin's Creed game. Yes, you can stealth but you can get it done faster by just taking on 30 guards (that all take 100 hits to kill at any level) at the same time and never die.
    The game should have been called ''Ancient Greece: The Curse of the Malakas'' and not part of the AC franchise.    … Expand

    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

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

Another bad thing is that this game is just Origins 2.0 because there's almost the same gameplay, the same animation, the same goal for the character (kill all cultists), and to be honest that's not really good. Also, the bad thing in this game that the game breaks the lore of AC because now the Isus are gods for some reason, there are mythological creatures, like Cyclops, Medusas, etc. And the game has lots of f***ing grind which is bad, but sometimes I'm seeing a beautiful world.… Expand

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.

    100 hours of a gameplay in one of the most beautiful worlds I've seen in video games. A little bit too long, but still reaaly enjoyable in 60 fps on XSX.

    Except for the fantastically and faithfully made world of ancient Greece, the game offers absolutely nothing. The main story is quite average, at times boring, but what is extremely frustrating is the terribly done mechanism of progression. The game constantly "throws" in front of the player the main missions that are above the current level of the player. And that would not be a problem, if the leveling was done properly, but that is not the case here. Although all currently available side missions are being completed, you are again underleveled to continue the main story. Practically, the player is expected to clean the complete map and solve bandit camps, fortresses, online missions, so that he can continue with the main missions, or buy an XP booster for $ 10 ... It is also extremely frustrating to see the recommended level for a particular mission. It often happens that the mission, whose recommended level is etc.20, contains three smaller missions, one of which always has a mission of 23 levels, and in it come the opponents of the 25th level. Constant grind.

    SRB:
    Izuzev fantastično i verno urađenog sveta stare Grčke, igra ne nudi apsolutno ništa. Main story je poprilično prosečan, na momente i dosadan, međutim ono što izuzetno frustrira jeste užasno urađen mehanizam progresije. Igra konstanto "baca" pred igrača main misije koje su iznad trenutnog levela igrača. I to ne bi bio problem, da je leveling urađen kako treba, ali ovde to nije slučaj. Iako se kompletiraju sve trenutno dostupne side misije, ponovo ste underlevelovani za nastavak main priče. Praktično se od igrača očekuje da čisti kompletnu mapu i rešava bandit kampove, tvrđave, online misije, kako bi mogao da nastavi sa main misijama, ili da kupi XP booster za 10$... Takođe izuzetno frustrira prikaz preporučenog nivoa za određenu misiju. Često se dešava da misija, čiji je recimo preporučeni nivo 20, u sebi sadrži tri manje misije, od kojih jedna uvek ima misiju 23 nivoa, a u njoj dolaze protivnici 25.nivoa. Konstantan grind.    … Expand

    This is my favourite assassins’s creed game to date. Ignore if it’s very much less like other titles in the AC universe. It’s just a good game!

I see so many people review bombing for micro transaction, but honestly I never spent a cent and enjoyed the game just fine? It’s such a fitting adventure from start to finish. When you look back and look at all you’ve done, it’s so hard to believe that you were once that young mercenary girl on the island of Kephallonia. Almost akin to the novel The Odyssey by Homer, this is arguably one of the best games of the year… Expand

    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.

    -Un juego muy bueno, una pésima historia. Después de la entrega de Origins la saga parecía renovarse pero con esta entrega reciclada de la anterior tiraron toda la historia a la basura pero eso si la jugabilidad es buena si Ubisoft hubiera sacado una IP nueva con esta jugabilidad le hubiera salido muy bien.

    I made it 16 hours, and that was enough for me. This game is formulaic. Woke. Redundant. Repetitive. Dull. Worst of all it butchers ancient Greece's history. Watch a documentary on the era instead, you will learn something and probably enjoy it more. The game looks pretty though and is occasionally interesting.

    I'm stay away from this franchise for some years, a lot of desapointments. But, first, the movie (and his soundtrack), the Odyssey. Make me love it again. From those who like Fantastic Realism. I'd love Odyssey.

    I’ll probably be biased, as I am a huge fan of Greek culture, but I believe that AC Odyssey was quite enjoyable. The graphics and the setting are incredible - one could spend dozens of hours only on exploration. However, the plot is just… well… a generic Ubisoft plot. The odyssey was too long and at the end I really just wanted to finish it so I could move on to the DLCs.

    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.
