Assassin's Creed Odyssey Reviews
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.
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.

Those hungry for more of Assassin's Creed needn't go wrong here, as Odyssey presents an exhilarating depiction of Ancient Greece to explore.
If you're a series sceptic, it likely won't win you over - at least not unless you can force your way through the first ten hours - but fans looking for a Greek epic to invest a couple hundred hours in will find a rich world, a frankly ludicrous amount of content, and a welcome step forward for Assassin's Creed.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a game that is worth its price tag and so much more.
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.
The writing is sharp and the action fun, but it is the stunning re-creation of another world that is this game's crown jewel
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the finest the series has ever been, building on the role-playing roots laid down by Origins. An occasionally scruffy triumph of historical world-building, play and, perhaps most importantly, Grecian character.
If you enjoyed Assassin's Creed IV's naval combat and Assassin Creed Origins' shift to an RPG-like progression system, Odyssey is a match made in Elysium. Odyssey does not revolutionize the franchise, but it's a capable entry that will satisfy fans for dozens and dozens of hours.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey pushes the franchise further away from action and into true RPG territory with dialogue options, branching talent trees, and an addicting armor system.
Ubisoft's latest historical epic is memorable not just for what it is, but also what it could have been with a little restraint
Assassin's Creed Odyssey sees the franchise at its strongest and most ambitious yet. With a compelling story, solid RPG mechanics, and heaps of content to soak up, you'll be spending months immersed in its sprawling Greek sandbox.
A huge, ambitious game building on the solid foundations of Origins to deliver a game that feels like another positive step towards a very interesting future for the franchise.
Fans of the series are going to like it, while those that don't like open-world games won't. Gamers on the fence about Assassin's Creed Odyssey will find dozens of hours of exploration and fun in a highly customizable experience that is great despite a few annoying missteps.
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.
While its large-scale campaign--clocking in at over 50 hours--can occasionally be tiresome, and some features don't quite make the impact they should, Odyssey makes great strides in its massive and dynamic world, and it's a joy to venture out and leave your mark on its ever-changing setting.
In short then we can say that we are in front of an obligatory step of the software house that, after Origins, could not move differently. The basics are there, now we must be aware of being in front of an Assassin's Creed 2.0; made peace with this then it will also be easier to fully enjoy this adventure that, net of some graphic and "historical" inaccuracies can still be appreciated. There are many possibilities and missions that await us, perhaps the story is not yet perfect, but in the end the gameplay is pleasant and enjoyable.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is complementary to the path Origins started on; a lot of people might not like this approach to the series but we shouldn't ignore the beauties of its world. people who find no correlation between two last games and previous games of the series aren't necessary wrong. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a rich and beautiful game that will entertain your for hours but truth be told it only uses "Assassin's Creed" name as a complement and is very far from standards of the series. game's RPG mechanics gradually get deeper and tall buildings, crowded cities and silent assassinations change their places with jungles, mountains, horse riding and heavy one-on-one battles. we have to wait and see what Ubisoft has in store for the future of series and will they finally be able to create a balance between the past and new titles of the series or not?

By adding some RPG systems, Assassin's Creed: Odysseys builds upon everything that Origins did right to create one of the best entries of the series. However, the game has some issues like boring romance options and poor AI. Despite that, Odyssey got us excited for the future of the franchise.

Infiltration, combat, and exploration are all fun in the moment. However, the repetitive objectives and lack of crafted moments make the gameplay blur together as the hours pass
