    Perfects everything Origins did and enhances them in ways you never thought an Assassin's Creed game could. Odyssey has it all.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey becomes one of the best chapters of the saga to date. Its history involves from beginning to end and the recreation of Ancient Greece is simply sublime. Its mechanics are the result of everything learned in previous chapters and achieve an immersive gameplay. If you are a fan of the saga and you like RPG games, Assassin´s Creed Odyssey is an essential on your bookshelf.

    With Odyssey, Ubisoft has crafted the biggest Assassin's Creed to date. A colossal open world, action RPG, that can go toe to toe with the biggest names in the genre. If you're a fan of this kind of game, don't miss it.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is big and beautiful. Could it be a much better game? Sure. But it's an amazing adventure with echoes of the Greek classic tales about travels and fantasy.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a superb open world RPG. It can be a little rough around the edges, but there's a gameplay freedom to this particular adventure that's really a cut above what the series has attempted previously. With a gameplay loop that simply never stops giving, Ubisoft's recreation of ancient Greece is an amazing achievement, and in some ways, a genuine step forward for open world game design.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey throws so much stuff at you, it's difficult to sift through it all. It's a beautiful game to look at and the story is intriguing, but it feels like a game that could have been a little more ambitious if given more time to develop. There's good ideas, from the branching story and character choice to the return of ship-based combat, but its ambitions also fray around the edges in a way that Origins didn’t.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey features a rich, lush world lessened by its repetitive activities. Though the main story is compelling, completing it requires you to participate in a massive amount of level grinding through less-than-stellar side quests. There’s plenty to do in this world, but a lot of it feels like busy work that fights to stay exciting or compelling. Odyssey is yet another open world game that misinterprets the meaning of more content.

    In general, bitter people tend to take the time out of their day rather quickly in order to post salty reviews.

    In general, bitter people tend to take the time out of their day rather quickly in order to post salty reviews.
    Most negative reviews focus on the in-game store. While I am also not a big fan of this evolution in gaming, I must say that the cashstore in AC;O is acceptable. The game in itself has plenty of (cool looking) items, The same amount a game without a cashshop would have. As such, the store only sells additional stuff: you do not have to feel like you have been cheated.
    The experience boost in the store is unnecessary. I didn't have it and didn't miss it. The quests are pretty good and interesting enough for leveling, and the locations in which you do them or which you explore are pretty. I have at no moment needed to grind.

    Some of the locales are really beautiful too. Found myself playing with the photo mode as well quite often. They also added historical information about the places you visit, which makes exploring interesting as well.

    Giving it a 10, because a 5.8 is really not justified. Game deserves an 8 at least.

    There is a LOT to do

    As soon as you start off your story you will know this is a game not for the faint hearted ,the scale of this game becomes apparent within the 1st few hours .
    Yes it’s now pretty much an RPG ,does that really matter ?to some it seems to .
    For me this is the perfect game to get stuck into for the next couple of weeks ,probably months .
    If you like orgins you will love this ,stunning map(62% bigger than origins ) from land to ship battles ,great combat ,more advanced than origins .if you like RPGS and open world games then this is perfect for you.easy 9.5 out of 10 from me

    8/10 - Particularmente, la historia me gustó mucho, los gráficos súper bien, la protagonista igual (jugué con Kassandra) y el mapa8/10 - Particularmente, la historia me gustó mucho, los gráficos súper bien, la protagonista igual (jugué con Kassandra) y el mapa inmensamente extenso. Me gustó mucho, de los pocos juegos que me he pasado completos sacando todos los trofeos incluyendo el Platino. Lo único que no me gustó fue el exceso de fantasía (sí me gustó, pero no como esta le quitaba esa esencia de Assassin's Creed). Expand

    "Ubisoft really needs money guys." That apparently justifies why they monetized the progression system.
    2/6 most disappointing game of 2018.
