    Buen juego, profundo, pero el sistema de combate es un poco cutre. Pero en general es bonito y gráficamente es esplendido

    Clearly inspired by open world games, this series entry lost nearly every aspect of Assassin's Creed. It is not a bad game, far from it, but it isn't really an Assassin's Creed anymore.

    There are tons of stuff to do, sadly way to many of these are generated and absolutly useless.

It is not a bad game, far from it, but it isn't really an Assassin's Creed anymore.

    There are tons of stuff to do, sadly way to many of these are generated and absolutly useless. What does it help that a NPC talks about his hardship and his pain, only to then just ask for 50 coins and giving you 20.000xp afterwards. The quests are repetetive and without any means. Same for collecting stuff. You are Level 5? Well, then u get 1-2 logs whenever you grab a bush. You are Level 50+? Well, 15-18 logs it is! There is just no need to try to collect this stuff as every smith (the only vendors!) will have hundreds for little money.

    What really annoys me and results in most of the score taken out, is the bad condition the game is. Even 2022, when I got the game, it still isn't nearly bug free. Updates still seem to cvome, but they seem to only add more content to buy via microtransactions. There are so many little flaws, that it is ridiculous! The loading times are beyond stupid and there is just no need for all these weapons (which are, again, generated and not designed.) You found a weapon that grants you 2 boni you like? Well, thats that then... upgrade it whenever you visit the smith, you will never find a better weapon again. I still use my knive that I found in Level 12, while I am 60+

    This game would be perfect to just play for half an hour and then do something else, sadly it isn't supposed to load fast, you should watch the ads and buy stuff. Typical start: Start Xbox (30s) - Start ACO (60s+ due to many many unskippable screens) - Start screen - Hit Start (45s for checking online if there are any new upgrades to buy) - real start screen with ads for online content - load save (45s+)

    After about 4+ minutes you are allowed to start playing. That is beyond stupid! Also, the game ignores many many settings. Like "I don't care about pictures of other players and don't want to use this 'feature'", well, bad luck, they will reappear on every start and will get downloaded anyway!

    They say "better stolen well than badly designed yourself", sadly they didn't steal well. The navigation is just bad, the UI isn't anywhere polished (markers will just blend into the environment) and good luck when u want to find any quest without the help of the UI, as the hints are mostly absolut carbage and sometimes just outright wrong. I love exploration, but had to activate the "guide me" setting, as they jusst kept sending me in wrong directions.

    I could go on and on, about the level system, the skills, the always fitting enemies, regardless of what level you reach and so on. It is a good game, when you bought it for 10-15€ or free in the gamepass. 60 or even 70-80€ wow!    … Expand

    The world layout for Odyssey is exceptional and is perhaps one of the best I’ve seen in an open world game.

    Después un gran e inolvidable viaje a Egipto, Odyssey sufrió, cayó en un vicio de querer nutrir la experiencia de juego, que se logró en gran medida a mejoras de combate y navegación, pero que no logró consolidarse en argumento que va de más a menos, siendo el arco principal muy débil en cuánto a narrativa, la historia no convence volviéndose tediosa, la exagerada cantidad de horasDespués un gran e inolvidable viaje a Egipto, Odyssey sufrió, cayó en un vicio de querer nutrir la experiencia de juego, que se logró en gran medida a mejoras de combate y navegación, pero que no logró consolidarse en argumento que va de más a menos, siendo el arco principal muy débil en cuánto a narrativa, la historia no convence volviéndose tediosa, la exagerada cantidad de horas invertidas no lo hace una experiencia grata para el jugador.

    Para poder estar en contexto con el pasado y presente de toda la saga Assassin´s Creed el jugador debe pagar si ó si los 2 DLC que son mejores en cuánto en argumento, más no sublimes, el climax de Odyssey se alcanza al completar el 95% de las misiones tanto principales como secundarias, siendo esto la VERDADERA gesta héroica digna del libro escrito por Homero. Que desafortunadamente al final se atan todos los cabos sueltos del argumento siendo el descenlace el momento crucial de ODYSSEY.

    Otro aspecto que desagrada bastante sucede durante el modo de combate, el personaje de Alexios y Kassandra se vuelve más pequeño en pantalla (un 30% menos), lo que dificulta la visión, lectura y ejecución de sus movimientos en este importante momento.
    Sin alguna otra crítica mayor MUCHAS GRACIAS.    … Expand

    This is my first AC game and I am loving it. The landscape is beautiful, the map enormous and the open world design likeable. Maybe the side quests do get repetitive and those forts tedious. But it is a very well designed game.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    So combat is amazing in this game as it essentially gives you 3 developed styles of playing; stealth, range and warrior- so it makes this game a lot more replayable as there are so many ways to approach a mission. The story is good as some characters can be interesting but there is so much padding in this game and it does somewhat ruin it- like one quest made you destroy snakes hiding inSo combat is amazing in this game as it essentially gives you 3 developed styles of playing; stealth, range and warrior- so it makes this game a lot more replayable as there are so many ways to approach a mission. The story is good as some characters can be interesting but there is so much padding in this game and it does somewhat ruin it- like one quest made you destroy snakes hiding in a vase. Also the micro transactions to level up were also annoying. The mythical bosses were all amazing to fight but had somewhat too much health. The loot system was fun but also too much at times. Also the mini wars was a nice addition as well. Hard to choose between an 8 or a 9. First dlc was awful though.… Expand

However, it doesn't deserve to be an Assassin's Creed game at all, because the main character is a Spartan Mercenary, who comes in the form of a Demigod, and doesn't take damage when falling from a great height. Overall, it's the best RPG game ever and I'd rate this an 8.1/10.    … Expand

    I can be amazed that after this game, Ubisoft began to make donation dumps out of their games. From this part, the Assassin ceased to be an Assassin. We didn't see Assassins again from this part. This game can only be praised for the world and the music. And so.
    Graphics is worse than Unity.

    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!

There's tons of gear to collect and upgrades to make which results in a huge range of builds available. The only other AC games I've played is Origins but Odyssey is loads better than that. The only thing I didn't like was the naval battles which seemed clunky compared with the polished main game.… Expand

    I have never played a game as boring as AC Odyssey. While the game is fun, it's just way to stretched out. 95 percent is just traveling. Finished a quest? Nice! Now go and talk to 3 more people that are far away from fast travel points. I'm 50 hours in and I just can't be bothered to finish the Atlantis DLC because it's so unbelievably boring.

    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.

    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.
