Assassin's Creed Odyssey puts the franchise back on the map as a critical darling. There's no malaka here whatsoever as it just "Greeks" of goodness. The story and characters are engaging and there are tons of activities to do. Greek culture and locations are a wonder to behold. Barring a few caveats, this has been a stellar offering for the franchise.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a game that is worth its price tag and so much more.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is worth checking out just for the vistas, but maybe set it to easy. Turn off "Exploration" mode. Skip the procedurally-generated quests. Don't play for too long at once. And if you try to dive deep, expect to hit bottom real fast.

There are still some rough spots then need addressing in future titles, and some of the new additions don't work as well as they should, but Odyssey sets a new bar for what an Assassin's Creed game can be.

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.

Once again Ubisoft has crafted a living, breathing world in its ancient Greek setting, and it's hard to resist the charms of exploring Greece and its myriad sunlit islands.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the largest and most complex game in the series. In terms of scale, structure and possibilities it can be compared with Skyrim, and it's just wonderful.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the turning point for one of the most famous series produced by Ubisoft. Despite a somewhat shallow storyline and a constant sense of déjà-vu due to the evident reuse of assets from its direct predecessor, the metamorphosis in a full-fledged action RPG is successful, assisted by a system of choices and consequences that works well in guaranteeing tangible repercussions in the world. Now we can't wait to find out how the series will evolve.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey, for better or worse, feels like a palette swap of Origins.

Not since Breath of the Wild have I enjoyed an open world game this much. With so much to see and do, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is one of, it not the best, game in the Assassin's Creed franchise—and absolutely a game of the year contender.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey follows the natural evolution of the new trilogy by polishing some of its playable mechanics and providing a powerful narrative with one of the best plots in the series. The new combat system with the multiple use of skills and the new character progression where every decision counts, embrace the path of the role games and give it its own identity in a world as massive as it is dinamic.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey builds on the strengths of the excellent Origins while setting you out on an excellent adventure in yet another grand, ancient setting. Bugs and glitches are a bit too commonplace for my tastes and the microtransaction reminders can be annoying, though not too in-your-face. Overall, fun combat, an interesting story and a likable and well-written protagonist (Kassandra, in my case) make Assassin's Creed Odyssey an worthy and addicting addition to the longstanding franchise.

Odyssey is a better, and certainly bigger, Assassin's Creed game than any before it. The sheer number of moving parts can be intimidating but this is a special adventure that must be savoured.

There's plenty of power and glory to be had in Odyssey. This is a vast swords-and-sandals epic that's rendered in the finest of details, and there's little else like it. Seeing it through to conclusion, however, has a major cost: your money or your patience.

I'll still be exploring islands that I haven't touched and meeting NPCs whom I haven't yet met. This big, beautiful, bloated world has no end in sight.

Assassin's Creed in a phenomenal game. Its enormous world plagued with a lot of activities, its interesting story and the increible setting, turns it into one of the most amazing and outstainding open world titles out there and, also, the best entry in the series.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey seems to be the series paroxysm : wider, richer and deeper than every other episode, the game still suffers from repetitiveness. The fascinating manhunt and the real choices will keep most players hooked up for a while, but only those who bought a PS4 Pro or a Xbox One X will benefit form the game's beautiful visuals. If you want to explore this endless greek world inhabited with brilliant minds of their time, you will have to go through more of the same fetch quests the series has dealt with for so long.
