    The game is absolutely fun. These idiots that say it is forcing to use xp boosts should know that I'm one of those that didn't use a single xp boost and finished the game with full exploration. It didn't need any boost. When I reached my max level still there were bunch of locations to explore and gain more xp. Telling the story of apples and the first Templars was perfect. Loved the game man.

    This game is the example of why things like Steam Reviews and Metacritic are to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I don;'t normally like to give games a 10, but with the laughable amount of 0 scores with the risk of being a bit hypocritical I give this title a 10. If the reviews would have been more reasonable I would still rate this game a solid 9.

    The good:
    - The improved parkour mechanics (you rarely get stuck of which was a bit of an issue in the past)
    - The Story (don't get fooled by some of the reviews, the writing is quite funny and smart)
    - The voice acting; especially Kassandra. The actor of Alexios did a good job too.
    - The combat (yes, it's different and a breakaway from the old combat style, but it's fun!)
    - The Huge Map.
    - The huge amount of content.
    - Ship combat. Best ship combat of the series.

    The bad:
    - A few minor bugs (very few though)
    - Fire tanks the FPS quite hard which makes speccing into fire damange not worth it (poison ftw).
    - Stupido was a bit..... stupido (*wink* very funny questine)
    - The game has got an ending. I wish it didn't.

    Well done Ubisoft! Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a masterpiece and you should be proud!    … Expand

    2. It's a re-skin of Origins. I played about 60 hours of Origins and Odyssey is very different than Origins. This is just absurd hyperbole.

    3. Micro-transactions. Yes they are in the game, yes they should not be in the game and it makes me angry as well. That being said I never once felt the need to buy them to enjoy the game. The game is a 100% completed game and is fully enjoyable without purchasing anything extra. You more than enough get your moneys worth.

    4. Poor PC optimization. I run this on a PC and the game runs butter smooth on everything maxed out. People are angry because they can't run it in 4K butter smooth, but guess what, no modern open world game can run at 4K with everything maxed out at a perfectly stable 60 FPS. There is absolutely nothing wrong with optimization.

    5. The story and or writing aren't good. This is rather subjective but I think that anyone would enjoy the main story. It's a good story, better than Origins and on par with the other AC games if not better.

    Anyway, after you finish RDR 2 you should totally play this game. It's really good and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Don't miss out on something great because a bunch of haters that don't know what they are talking about. How many of these haters put in 100 hours into this game? Don't trust them, trust me.

    I can't believe people is really mad at this game. This game is the best AC game ever since 2018. I spent over 120 hours to this game and enjoyed every minute. ( even i played at low graphics )

In every island,    I can't believe people is really mad at this game. This game is the best AC game ever since 2018. I spent over 120 hours to this game and enjoyed every minute.

    Pros :

    - It has an amazing story. From start, it really stucks you to game.
    - Parrying sistem is awesome. Origins shield sistem was absolute sh*t.
    - Open world is fantastic. In every island, there is a side-quest chain waits for you.
    - Voice actors did a perfect job. Both characters are awesome.
    - Fort attacking is the most enjoyable thing in the game. You can be a strategist, assassin or warrior.
    - DLCs are perfect. The Fate of Atlantis one is really perfect. Stucks you to game until you finish it.
    - New Game+ is very efficient. I played the game again because of it. And even playing it again, it still feels good.
    - You can change the auto level scaling to light if you want to play only the story. Stop saying that.

    Cons :
    - There is not much "different" quests. Always go and stab some people.
    - You can't decide will you be Athenian or Spartan. I mean, there is sometimes a street war between them, you wanna join the fight but you can attack them both, or they'll attack you. ( Naval fights are more ridiculous )
    - It says " RPG " but in the DLCs, every answer gets you to same ending.
    - Horse riding is not very good, it's sh*t.
    - There's no assassin in this game, only assassin is Darius :D I mean it's called "Assassin's Creed" isn't it?

    Summary :

    This game is 60$. It costs 0.5dollar / hour for me. Guys stop being a dickhead, Ubisoft made it
    perfect. But yeah some more details to game would be perfect. I reeaaally wanted to wear a spartan helmet and get into a spartan fort. Or a little bit more different quests.    … Expand

    I only played the game this year (2021), and it's easily the most enjoyable one this year so far. There is nothing really revolutionary about it. In fact, it looks like it has been inspired by successful aspects of quite a few other games: it's improving on a massive eye-candy open world of its predecessor (AC Origins), features stealth-clearing forts and camps like in the Far Cry series, cut-scenes and witty dialogs like we've seen in Witcher 3, combat mechanics and animation that resembles of Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Nevertheless, it's a masterpiece in its own right and so much fun to play - which is what counts in the end.    … Expand

Best Ocean of any AC game, full of stuff to explore. Now this game has three main problems. Story is kind of weak, you have to grind way too much to progress in story and you can't one-hit assassinate enemies. Now it still has nice enough architecture, huge statues, most of islands of Greece. Ocean is really cool, sunken shipwrecks, sunken temples, sharks, whales etc. So basically get got many things right with this game, but also tons of stuff was just bad or weak. Thankfully most of these things were fixed in Valhalla, but Valhalla is not perfect either. Basically there's still room for Ubisoft to improve. Overall Odyssey is solid, but flawed game. But here's the thing, i'm an Assassin's Creed fan and i need to have one-hit assassinations. Now maybe someone who doesn't care about this, might enjoy this game more. But i still want to give it relatively positive score, because after all it's still part of one of the greatest video game series of all time and it obviously got tons of hate from people who hate AC games in general, so even just for that i have to give it higher score. And i'm one of these players who can literally spend hours underwater exploring ocean. I can't even count how long i spent underwater in GTA 5 for example and with Odyssey they made ocean really interesting. This was huge step-back in Valhalla, because for some weird reason Valhalla ocean is kind of empty. So bonus points for good ocean design in Odyssey.… Expand

    Sure optimizations was rushed and felt abandoned for the pc port but the game is SO MUCH FUN.
    The graphics look good, the environment feels alive and the era of ancient Greece during the 2nd Peloponnesian war looks HIGHLY interesting.

Soy fan de la saga desde hace más de 10 años y desde el salto de Origins la introducción del rpg le ha lavado la cara a la franquicia. El mejor combate visto en un Assassin's Creed: rápido, perfeccionando lo visto en Origins, sistema de esquivas y bloqueos muy limpio con muchas habilidades como la patada espartana que lo hacen muy variado y divertido. El mapa es precioso y representa a la perfección la Grecia clásica de una forma muy bella con colores muy vivos, bosques, valles, bahías, islas, desiertos, playas, montañas nevadas, aguas celestes, granjas, grandes ciudades o pueblos, cuevas por explorar, campamentos militares, ruinas, templos, escultura, arte, tumbas... Y cuenta con basta variedad de fauna. Los gráficos bajo mi punto de vista van un paso más allá de Origins, la iluminación colándose en las ramas de los árboles en esos bosques otoñales es simplemente espectacular, y las texturas que a veces en Origins tardaban en renderizar aquí lo hacen más rápido. La representación de ciudades como Atenas es enfermiza, la estatua dorada de Atenea, la acrópolis, la plaza del mercado, los teatros, la residencia de Pericles, el templo de Zeus... Simplemente increíble. En cuanto a la historia si es verdad que puede que le sobren 4-5 horas pero me parece una historia bastante bien hilada más interesante que la de su predecesor con un sistema de decisiones con impacto real y un desarrollo del personaje principal notable. Los personajes secundarios son para mi de lo mejor de la historia, para no variar es marca de la franquicia, contando con grandes figuras como Herodoto, Socrates, Pericles, Leonidas de Esparta... La historia se subdivide en 3 ramificaciones una de ellas cuenta la historia de los orígenes del protagonista y su familia, es para mi la más elaborada y con más giros de guión, la segunda la erradicación de la "secta" al completo que nos atormenta y la tercera es la que tiene que ver con el lore de la primera civilización y mitología, mi favorita junto a la primera. Sencillamente un juegazo, llevo ya 200 horas y estoy volviendo a empezar nueva partida, recomiendo jugar con Kassandra. El juego ha recibido mucho contenido postlanzamiento y consta de muchas misiones secundarias y actividades por todo el mundo. La Adrastrea (nave) es un añadido que ofrece variedad y es el elemento de navegación principal, se añade junto a mecánicas ya vistas en ACIV como el abordaje junto a otras nuevas como partir un barco por la mitad con el espolón. Puntos negativos:
    -Sistema de mercenarios procedular invasivo y pesado. -Hay unas misiones secundarias llamadas contratos que son genéricas -Se echa de menos el Parkour creativo
    (?) Para las personas que esperan la esencia Assassin's creed clásico puede que este no sea su titulo ya que no se enfoca al sigilo sino a la aventura y rpg. Es un juegazo increíble.    … Expand

    The pathetic excuse for gamers these days is unbelievable, millennials have no idea what a gaming experience is about, we grew up with 2D side scrollers and they were classed as A rated games and the big things about them were finding the glitches and mistakes from the developers which added more fun to the games.

    The pathetic excuse for gamers these days is unbelievable, millennials have no idea what a gaming experience is about, we grew up with 2D side scrollers and they were classed as A rated games and the big things about them were finding the glitches and mistakes from the developers which added more fun to the games.

    Games today have huge open worlds to explore and i suppose the big problem with all new gamers is the aspect you may also learn something along the way, you seem to expect the game to feed you in a way that i would like to see you do better, go back to the first AC title then come back to this one to see the massive changes the franchise has made, to hate on a business for doing what they do which is MAKE GAMES is so stupid it boggles the mind you have no idea the man hours that go into making something that is designed for fun.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is easily one of the best games of 2018 without a shadow of a doubt, it has great aspects from Origins and then added more and set in a beautiful recreation of Greece, and if anyone listened during history at school or educated themselves has such a captivating focus on the history of Greece, from the Diplomacy of Athens created by Pericles to the fall of the city due to the plague and tainted grain from Sparta.

    The game also lets you explore rather than spoon feed you all the missions (it's how i found the Minotaur by pure fluke) which makes it a fantastic adventure.

    The Helix credits... i have bought non and guess what you can still enjoy the game, these things are put there for players who like to add something to their games but not at any point does it feel forced or pushed on you to do, and the grind is not bad at all, if anything its lesser than Witcher 3 in that respect.

    Unless you're playing on a potato this game plays flawlessly i play on
    Ryzen 5 1600 (3.8ghz)
    AMD rx470 8gb
    16gb RAM (3000mhz)
    Windows 10 Pro
    even running the game on an old HDD
    it plays fine on my 4K monitor with no tearing stuttering or fps drops, i think the worst i had was 40fps which is still non noticeable during game play this generation needs to get over that more fps = better as your eye can't see or notice anything higher than 60fps in most cases as the majority of monitors refresh at 60hz which is 60 fps tops a game may tell you you're getting 120+fps but you monitor isn't refreshing at anything higher than it's designed to, even movies play around 27-30fps and nobody **** about that.

    I have sunk over 66 hours into this game and i am only 61% complete, my advice for this game is to explore, take in the vast lands and surprise yourself with what you can find, if you bought this game to mash a button in fights and to be told how to play then you bought the wrong game, stop following the bandwagon of being told what to like and what to hate, i bought this game for £35.99 with Ubisoft discount which i earned through gaming which is 20% off... on release, say what you will but nobody rewards you 20% off with a made up currency you earn by enjoying yourself.

    The fighting is challenging as you have to think about what you're doing or you will die to simple soldiers with shields or dual wielding swords, it takes a little time but not hard to master, even higher rated mercenaries can be bested.

    The map is huge, fast travel is there if you want it, it is filled with bandits wild life and events you can only find by exploring, you can find some awesome items just by exploring.

    Pros:
    Stunning visuals
    Well over 70 hours game play
    The choice to play either male or female
    So much to do it can sometimes feel overwhelming which is GREAT in a RPG

    Cons:
    Doesn't seem to like potato PC
    The sea doesn't have the same pull as AC Black flag

It never felt like I was leveling too slow or like there was some ulterior motive to push me into purchasing an XP boost. In fact the levels came so fast there were times I felt like it was going too fast when I was getting behind on keeping my gear upgraded.

I'm playing on a 7700k-1080ti Set up, so I didn't notice any performance issues, but it's Ubisoft, so you can expect that if you have a mid-end or low-end set up. If that so, just wait for sales.

Yes, there is the occasional CPU freeze time / lag, but that only occurs during the huge battles and being Early Access I was expecting some flaws that will be eventually smoothed out. All that side the game has been very enjoyable for me about of the proverbial box. Length; yes the game is long, but it's called "Odyssey" so I'm fine with it. Regarding it not being an AC game; you aren't playing as an Assassin, but it is set within the AC Lore so as far as the overall lore and canon I feel that this IS an AC game; unlike say my feelings about STD versus STNG and TOS.

    - Choose Race? Check... albeit limited to Imperial.
    - Start story by getting armor after killing the first enemies? Check.
    - Having to go to a nearby town to actually get your first quest from someone who helped you when you were just a bandit (well... child bandit)? Check.
    - Being attacked randomly by trios of wolves in the wild? Check.
    - Notification (for the first time in an AC game) that you would be STEALING??? CHECK!
    - Being attacked by villager for stealing his stuff? CHECK CHECK CHECK!

    Okay, you know, I could keep going, but it's better if I stop there. Actually, TES:VI is rumored to take place in Hammerfell. A region not to different from Ancient Rome/Greece/Norther Africa and Middle East. Looks like AC's got you beat there, Bethesda.

    Now. Onto the good stuff.

    This game is an Assassin's Creed game, but it is more Witcher "3.5" than Prince of Persia, and that's what people are upset about. They are upset because, quite frankly, Ubisoft resorted to doing away with the formula completely before even trying to fix what was broken in the final days of the "true AC" (that is: Unity and Syndicate). They are right to be upset, but they are wrong in their assumption that their dislike for the latest formula, which is really an amalgam of other games' formulas, means the game is automatically bad, or as some have ignorantly put it, the "worst AC game ever" (clearly they did not play Unity).

    The game is not great.
    The game is not terrible.
    The game sits somewhere between "The world could always use more heroes!" and "Ever get that feeling of deja vu?" (As respectively voiced by Overwatch's Tracer). And it never really leaves that place. If you enjoyed the freer elements of Origins, you will enjoy this one even more. If you enjoyed the more tedious elements of Origins, you will be frustrated by the freedom in this one. Thankfully, Ubi's got your back and they have a mode selection to let you decide whether you want freedom or not. Whether you want to play Skyrim, or AC:Origins.

    The fighting mechanics, the visuals, the AI (including Mount pathfinding), the voice acting, the lip-sincing, the music, the bugs, etc etc etc, are in many ways identical to Origins. In fact, so many of these things are so identical, it becomes clear as soon as you leave the first island, that you're basically playing a stand-alone expansion of Origins. This, naturally, has upset many people.

    So let me tell you what Odyssey is...

    - It's a fun game
    - It's a spin-off of Origins
    - It's definitely a game where you can assassinate your way through pretty much every NPC, except the important marks (I can see why people are upset at this, but for me, it's a nice break from something that started so long ago, I'm kind of tired of it)
    - It's an amalgam of many other really popular Action RPGs
    - It may or may not be worth the price tag for many. I got it on sale because PC games always have sales pretty much immediately.

    ... and then let me tell you, finally, what it is not:

    - It is NOT a TES game, so don't be fooled into buying it thinking you'll get that kind of epicness out of it.
    - And it is NOT a bootleg version of Witcher 3 (you won't get that kind of story), despite my significant other walking into the room while I was playing it and immediately asking me "Is that a new area in Witcher?"    … Expand

The music is fantastic, the scenery and setting are beyond a master piece. The fact that you can actually fight your way through things now without instantly failing a mission is fantastic. You got seen by one person? You can kill him before he alerts everyone. The skill choices and the combinations of sets allow for you to truly make your own person. It runs alright on my budget build from a few years ago as well, not as well as I want it to, but enough to get the job done. Everyone is just review bombing the game.… Expand

Some player might find the giant open world is a not so fitting setting to set an Assassin’s Creed story since it can make the player to be seperated from the story from the sheer ammount of time that the world exploration will take to do. The RPG element is good since it is develop together with AC: Origins. The multiple ending is also a good addition because it make the choice that the player have to be more important than normal story branching element.

    Although this game has some improvement from AC: Origins even if it's not as many as i like but it is expected since this game is develop at the same time as AC: Origins so it is expected to have some similarity in gameplay and other elements to each other.

    The reason i did not give this game a full 10/10 is because althought the modern day story line is connected to the Assassin's Creed Lore the actual animus part of story element althought interesting it is not connected enough even if the is some connection to the Assassin's Creed Lore as a whole.

    Overall the experience of playing this new type of Assassin’s Creed is depend on each player but since i’m a fan of both exploration and Assassin’s Creed francise in general so i can make a good judgment that this game is very good for those who already love the Assassin’s Creed Francise and for those who love exploration and branching story element.

    Let me start by saying two things:
    1. My PC is at the lower end of the required specs (i7, 16 Gigs of RAM, GTX960). I run the game at medium settings, and it works perfectly well. No crashes or getting stuck, whatever.

    2. Yes, the game is a bit less "assassin-y". The story revolves around the stuff we know from other games, but it's not that you soon run around in the typical Assassin-outfit or colors. You DO use stealth, a lot of things prove this is an AC-game, but it's less so than the other games. I am a huge fan of the franchise and have played and finished almost all the other ACs (minus Liberation and those mini-games). And I enjoy this one a LOT.

    This game is pretty much a perfect follow up to Origins. If you did like that one, you will enjoy Odyssey. Many of the abilities and controls are the same, yet things were added.

    - Moral choices. They're not having a GIANT effect on the story, but you can be either the cruel, determined person or more of the nice hero.
    - Battles. They're not gigantic, but they are fun. You run around in a battlefield, taking out soldiers and commanders. You're a mercenary, so you pick the sides and help shift powers.
    - Ship battles are back. If you did like the naval battle in Black Flag and Rogue... you will feel rght at home, as they're pretty much the same. However, you can "spec" your ship by capturing officers who will give your ship perks.
    - I found the talent tree to be more fun than in Origins.

    The game does look beautiful. There is a lot to explore. People have complained that enemies level with you, so you never are 10 lvls above your opponents. I don't mind though, because I guess the same people complained about Origins and how you got a ton of quests you couldnt do because you were too low level. So you had to do side quests in order to get to the other main quests.

    Others have complained about micotransactions. If that disqualifies the game for you... that's your opinion and I respect it. However, I think you would miss out on a beautiful game. I for one simply ignore the store. On my travels, I easily picked up enough materials to upgrade my ship, craft arrows etc.

    This is a lot like AC+Witcher3+300, but it still is an AC game. It looks a bit better than Origins, and to me is even more fun. I did replay Origins right before the release, and I enjoyed Odyssey more.

    So my opinion: If your PC can run it (mine can, even though it's not a state of the art up to date gaming machine), and you like the franchise, definitely give this a try. It's a bit less "Don the outfit, equip your wristblades, be a precursor of Altair and Ezio", it's shifting more towards "Be a mercenary in Greece, get tangled up in events related to the other games, use assassin techniques".

    Once again, I do love the franchise, and I don't get why people say it's "not AC". It adds a different flavor, takes a different approach. How often do we need the same "Young guy suddenly is involved in Templar plot, gets an assassin outfit, gets the blades, gets trained, tada"

    Approach this with an open mind. If you did like Origins, this is a step up from that, and to me, it's a totally enjoyable game.    … Expand

    It's amazing what the Ubisoft team can do if you give them enough time. They no doubt created one of the best open world sandboxes.

    The one complaint I share with many players is that while the game is technically great, it doesn't have much to do with "Assassin's Creed". The name could almost be dropped at this point. They really need to continue the main story. It's been 10 years and it should come to a conclusion at some point.

    I have to deduct another point, because Ubisoft changed the story of the game to appeal to homosexuals. Nothing wrong with that, but it shouldn't have any impact on the story and Ubisoft should have the spine to stand up to social justice warriors and stick to their original story. Stop trying to appeal to everyone and just do your thing, for **** sake. Giving in to such idiots makes you look weak.

Odyssey follows the trend these days to create a huge world and mash up many different gameplay elements into a single title. The Tomb Raider reboot did this, abandoning the mission-based format of the original series for a Far Cry-style open world combined with Uncharted-style gameplay. A lot of players don't like this, and I can understand this. Many still prefer a more classical approach to games that are more linear and focused. The Bioshock games do this, as well as Dishonored. And they do it for the most part extremely well. Likewise, a lot of players want a return of this series to the early Assassin's Creed games and not the direction that Origins and Odyssey have taken. It's a legitimate argument. I am rating this game like a standalone game, without any reference to early AC games. As a standalone game, I think it's great. It's not Witcher 3, to which it is often compared. I also played as Kassandra, and many have said that Kassandra makes for the better play-through than Alexios. I never felt like I was grinding in this game, which is a common complaint. To me, grinding is when all you do is run around killing things to make xp and get better gear. It's pretty much all you do in WoW, for example. I never did this in Odyssey. Yes, there are a lot of pointless fetch quests but you can skip them and still get levels doing other things. And there are a lot of hidden gems, quest chains with engaging stories in addition to the main story. Odyssey isn't a classic, but I give it a high score because of the fun factor, between the solid fight mechanics, the skill tree, ancient Greece history and lore, entertaining ship battles, the mercenary system, and a pretty interesting and well-voice acted lead character (again, I didn't play as Alexios but from what I saw of him in my game and on You Tube videos, he's not as good). There are a lot of reported bugs, but the game ran fine for me. For a game this size, you can always expect bugs until they get some major patches out.

    Bugs do exist, but are not game-breaking. Micro transactions exist as well (which is sad for a single player game) to speed up progression, but that's not a problem for me. If you don't wanna buy, don't buy, go grind and have fun.

    Game needs some optimization though, since its performance is not good and not stable., and the presets are just bad. Not a huge problem for me, since i game with an: Intel i7-4790 + GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (MSI), averaging 56 fps, at 1440p, with custom settings in a combination of Ultra High + Very High + High. Super playable.

    Finally, "exploration mode" instead of "guided mode" is a must, makes the whole adventure much more realistic and fun. Give it a try, you will never go back to guided mode. Definitely a recommended game to buy.

    AC Odyssey is a brilliant game, many are complaining because of the optimizations but it's running fluently on my gaming laptop 40 fps average overall everything at high settings at 1080p.
    The story is even better than Origins and everything is improved imho.

    I'm eager to know what Ubisoft got for us for it's next AC game.
    I gave it a score of 9 because in every mission I have to be in a specific level forcing me to do side quests that are pretty repetitive.
    What stunned me are the location and the beautiful graphics overall, and to me I thought Origins had insane graphics but Odyssey is even better.
    To me, it's not an intirely an assassin's Creed game but it's a change of fresh air, and I loved it.
    Hopefully the next AC will be more towards the Assassin's Creed genre, until then, Ubisoft did an amazing work, hands down.
    Just didn't give a score of 10 because of the forced side quests but a 9 is well deserved.    … Expand

    Overall a pretty good game, I only had one mayor bug, that forced me to take a 3 hours older savegame because the main story would not continue...

    The fighting is much better than in the last AC and the equipment has a better feeling when upgrading and gathering it. The world feels kinda empty, just like when there are many people around you but you are still lonely, all the quests    Overall a pretty good game, I only had one mayor bug, that forced me to take a 3 hours older savegame because the main story would not continue...

    The world feels kinda empty, just like when there are many people around you but you are still lonely, all the quests feel forced, most of the time people just stand around with an exclamation mark over their head instead of dynamic situations, so much for "exploration mode" where those marks are still always shown, no idea what they thought "exploration mode" means.    … Expand

    the number of idiots giving ratings is just amazing. This is not AC game , so i'll give it a 1 or 0. Grow up, Fantastic game, never had so much fun in a huge open world game since The Witcher, which this game desperately tries to imitate, but does it very very well.

    First i must say this is the best game of Assassin's Creed franchise from 2014(AC Unity) to now. even in some cases better than AC III and AC IV.

    Yeah, it's not that Assassin's Creed, but it's a very beautiful game with wonderful plot. So, if you like The Witcher, this game is must have.

    I don't really know why this game has so many negative reviews, but we all know there is a lot of haters out there. Anyway, this game is really good and worth all the money and time invested in ! Great AAA titile

    It's an amazing game, and unlike all the drivel here that are mad because this isn't another cookie-cutter Assassin's Creed game, I enjoyed the new take as much as the old.

    In short. Pros: everything. Cons: none, sorry :) . Large, beautifull world, lots of things to do, all of them interesting. Clever endings. Just can't believe Ubisoft made such a great game. Thank You.

    One of the best Assassins creed games. Perfect fight system, interesting side quests, big open world. Only main story sucks.

    The latest addition to the Assassin's Creed franchise is truly a wonder and a fresh take on a stale idea. The excellent execution, gameplay and story is only overshadowed by greedy micro transactions, paid XP and awful optimization.

    An excellent and beautiful game from ancient Greece. Maybe it’s very different from the first game, however this evolution benefits the brand. [Issue#290]

    While AC: Origins was packed with interesting stories, Odyssey is a generic ’Ubisoft sandbox’ in the worst sense, with hundreds of the same-looking places, dozens of ”kill-fetch” quests and almost zero motivation to grind further.
