Assassin's Creed Odyssey Reviews
In Assassin's Creed Odyssey everything is at its place. The mythological story remains intriguing until the end and the dialogue choice system is a welcome addition. Gameplay is fun even with its flaws and the latest title in the series is a great opportunity to visit the ancient Greek.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey offers endless possibilities and consequences to almost every action and dialog. Generally, the world is incredibly beautiful and encourages you to explore and tackle new challenges. The story is epic though it has somewhat a slow pace, waiting for a main event felt like waiting for a bread crumb.

I enjoyed my trip to Greece in an incredible way and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, even though it's the eleventh installment in the series, still has plenty to surprise me. The amazing story and interesting gameplay elements in the end are only hampered by the repetitiveness of the missions and the not-quite-finished gameplay. For fans, Odyssey is a must-have, and it must be added that the time spent in the game surpasses all previous Assassin's Creed titles. The game is extremely catchy and entertaining, and I'm always happy to return to the title feeling that the conversations with Socrates still have something to give me.

Ubisoft Quebec should be really proud of this one. They’ve taken the fun mechanics from previous Assassin’s Creed titles and evolved them and brought them all together in a world that is as beautiful as it is massive. If you were a fan of last years’ Origins you should definitely check this out. Even with it’s pacing issues and scattered bugs, when everything comes together it feels like this could easily be the best Assassin’s Creed title to date.
Origins was a great game, but Ubisoft exceeded expectations with its successor. The story is long and personal with many choices to make, it’s your own odyssey. Greece is huge and detailed, so it’ll take some time before you're done with the game. That’s nothing but positive.

This is one of my favorite games ever. Coming back to it for the 3rd time for this review has only reinforced that feeling. It’s gorgeous, well-written, has excellent combat, a ton of depth, and with it now being on Game Pass it is well worth giving it a try.
An enjoyable game with tight combat, a captivating world, and plenty of content.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes the series to new heights with its RPG mechanics while simultaneously reminding us of the grim landscape of modern AAA gaming.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey contributes to the revolution that the title has been having in recent years. Compared to Origin, it has improved gameplay mechanics and more refined side missions in many respects. If you are a lover of RPGs and the historical period, you cannot miss this title.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey keeps the familiar formula, adds some new bits and places players at the heart of it all. It’s hard not to like the presentation here despite familiarity setting in pretty much as soon as the game begins. Greece is a wonderful playground, Kassandra a lovely character and the quests meaningful fodder. It’s easy to dismiss Odyssey as Origins in a new skin, but would not be fair on the obvious high quality production. If you tire of Assassin’s Creed games, then perhaps this one won’t bring you back into the fold in any meaningful way. However, for action adventure fans after a massive open playground to stamp their mark it doesn’t get much better than this.
Even if can feel a little bit grindy, Assassin's Creed Odyssey keeps the great job “refreshing” the franchise. The game keeps the collectathon that's part of every Ubisoft game but the inclusion of characters Cassandra y Alexios gives enough variety to keep playing the campaign.

Despite a few bad things, the good is definitely overflowing here – this is probably my second favourite open world RPG this generation, only behind Witcher 3. I give this game a solid 9/10 – a good chunk of that missing point is down to the Colourblind mode as I honestly wouldn’t have been able to play through some of it on my own due to this!
At the end of the day, is Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey a good game? Yes, it most certainly is. If you have enjoyed the games in the past and followed the stories over the years, you know what you are getting here and it’s exactly what you would want. I do wish some of the side quests and grinding were trimmed down and the game focused more on the main story beats, but as it stands, it’s still a fantastic game and a worthy addition to the series.
Overall, it’s very hard to find fault in a game that was well thought-out, culturally accurate with equal representation, a content galore, and beautiful sceneries and detail (zooming in on clothing/armor gives you the idea of how truly fine-tuned the detail is). I can spend a week or two playing Odyssey and would still not have finished or dented the amount of story and quests present. The open world is too large that just uncovering every nook and cranny is going to take some time.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey" is a true open-world bombast that relies on tried and tested strengths and yet courageously goes its own way. The heat of virtual Greece can literally be felt as you conquer the individual areas step by step. In around 80 hours of play, an immense conglomeration of colourful side quests awaits you, in which you can try your hand at being an assassin or face exciting battles. Ubisoft has skillfully made the transition to the Open World RPG title and continues its successful series with another epic.

If one avoids unnecessary romance, turns off gore, and is able to stand the strong language, AC Odyssey is a good buy, if only for the story and historical setting.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a stunning game - a gigantic beautiful recreation of Greece, with wonderful ship combat, smooth traversal and plenty of satisfying gameplay moments. Unfortunately numerous design decisions lead to a mix of frustrating gameplay with numerous glimpses of greatness. It's not perfect, but it undoubtedly offers plenty of the series' best.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a brilliant and beautiful game, but it’s also very clearly abandoned too many of its own time-tested mechanics in favour of ones from other games. The inclusion of narrative choices is nice and selectable genders was long overdue, but then so much of the game is spent on pointless side content that offers nothing to overall gameplay except to fill the unnecessarily oversized map or delay the story. It was encouraging when Ubisoft skipped a year to develop Origins, and I’m relieved the series is going to be taking another year off in 2019. While Odyssey isn’t a bad game by any stretch, I think a more extended break might be in order, to help the series rediscover its identity. Odysseus was lost for ten years before he finally found his way home. Maybe one day, Assassin’s Creed will too.
