I'm surprised you've mentioned the color palette, comparing it to the one of Origins. There it seemed very organic, lifelike and tasteful, while in everything I've seen about this game both the coloring work and the world design are just quantity for quantity's sake, eye-popping and with little sense of style or scale. However, got to see it first-hand to make any judgement, thanks for the review!

[@diocub4022]

It'd be better if you reviewed games on a 1-10 scale, I can tell that you like Angry Joe's format.But that is what's keeping me from coming back to you, to Angry Joe content. The good thing you do is you review them fast, while Angry Joe reviews them slowly and surely. Especially since you get review copies and Joe doesn't due to being black listed in most cases. Making me trust Angry Joe more even though you say your not sponsored and buy games afterwards. Just a thought and opinion that hopefully you can reconsider to make your channel better and grow bigger in my opinion based on watching other youtuber's reviews.

I reached and out leveled the main mission by doing literally almost every mission this game has to offer. No rush here trying to beat the main story. I am enjoying the game. It's been a long time since I found a game that's worth my time and day. This game has caught my full attention. Every assassin's games I've played and owned doesn't come close to this, although I've enjoyed every single one of them.

[@cyber_dildonics]

Kassandra's voice acting was fantastic and the general consensus is to play as her if you care about the acting.

[@MrJenssen]

Been playing it for a few hours now (thanks to using a VPN, New Zealand), and I must say I am shocked at just how good of a job Ubisoft have done with the difficulty setting. Putting the difficulty to Nightmare makes the game really hard BUT it isn't in that frustrating way where everything just feels cheap and unfair (look no further than Ghost Recon Wildlands to see just how outrageously lazy it can get with Ubisoft). I am getting my ass handed to me in the beginning hours, but the battles do feel rewarding, you get better and you learn to handle yourself - surprisingly similar to Dark Souls, if one is allowed to say that. Fights with multiple enemies are a real puzzle to deal with, but it IS possible. So much more fun than previous AC titles. The Exploration mode is an awesome new addition, keeping some information from you so you really do need to explore a little. This must be a Ubisoft first. Really refreshing. Also happy that the choice/consequences don't seem to be too obvious. Being nice isn't always rewarded, and that is great. Especially when playing on Hardcore, where you never know if sparing the lives of some enemies might cause a fight with a bigger mob later down the line. Great stuff so far.

[@gmicros]

Does it run good on pc?

[@MrJenssen]

@@gmicros hmmm, I can't say it runs amazingly. But not terribly either. I have a 1070 and I'm not nearly using up all my VRAM according to the options menu but I mostly get between 50 and 65fps with most settings (but not all) maxed. Playable, but it would be nice to have it more stable. Game does look great though.

[@chicoandthem4n]

What's funny is ancient Egypt didn't have tha much sand lol

[@p.b6032]

Lol have you played origin atleast ? Not even half of the map is desertic, the rest is swamp, forest, mountain, sea and cities

[@thee.jaypodcast7135]

You may be right about the map as a whole, but there are two huge deserts in Origins that the campaign doesn't even feature, in fact if you don't explore much outside the campaign the map is a nice mix of desert, oases, swamps, cities, mountains and forests. Personally, I think it's one of if not the most beuatiful open worlds I've ever played. Cyrene, Memphis, Alexandria and Siwa are all breathtakingly gorgeous. But that's just my opinion.

[@tensilver7427]

[@strikesachord1884]

@@cindercatz Well, most of the ancient world fought in phalanx formations. It wasn't particularly unique to the Spartans. It was a tactic that was used until the Romans abandoned it and changed the way war was fought. Which is one reason the Romans conquered the Spartans. At the battle of Thermopylae, or the battle of 300, as you put it, was not actually fought with only 300 Spartans. They were aided by 1,000 Athenians. The movie 300 is just an inaccurate Hollywood dramatization. In fact, during the time period of 480 ( battle of Thermopylae ) and Odyssey takes place, most Spartans abondoned the Corinthian helmet and muscle curiass you see most of them wearing in most reinactments.

[@chrisd8180]

There will always be more people that enjoy playing a character were you can choose your class and style than being forced into stealth only. Ubi Soft knew that by changing the style of Assassin Creed games into an open world RpG with the option to choose what class you want and not just an assassin with stealth, that there Fan base would more than triple. From the 25 years experience playing, rpgs, multiplayer or Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) i have seen more people play a tank, ranged melee dps, or close ranged dps than a stealth assassin class. I have seen all most as many people play a healer/Priest class as a stealth class. Rogues and assassins will always have a meaningful and needed roll in all rpgs, but games that only let you be an assassin and no other roll or class will never ever be more popular than a game thats an open world RpG that lets your decide your class style. The developers at Ubi Soft i think know what kinda game the people want, yes there is people upset that the style of Assassin creed has changed, but 10X the people love the change. Loosing 100k Assassin Creed fans is no big deal when your gaining 10 million new fans LoL

Truly, to me, AC has always been about admiring the different time periods in history and the architecture/art styles that encompass those cultures and periods. And you do this through climbing and parkour. Which has always been a part of every AC game. As long as that’s an integral part of the gameplay, I’ll remain a casual fan.

[@mike-lf8qu]

Man i really hope the next AC games goes back to its roots to a more stealth focus, it feels like its lost its identity, it just doesnt look like a AC game anymore. rather they just had made this game with a different name.

[@lexetordo8954]

michael martins no this game is fun as hell they need to make it more like this and better the original ac is just boring and bland it was great then but horrible now

[@cindercatz]

The older games were great. All these people who never got 'em in the first place, yet you love the changes because it's just like every other hack 'n slash ARPG now. Pretty, mediocre, built to mtx.

[@memecliparchives2254]

glad you liked it man

[@Chevifier]

Got it on sale $30 and man I didnt know Id like it so much. Its actual worth $60. I spent 10 hours on one island doing missions and exploring. Completely forgot all the Naval travel. Bottom line they are many games that Ubisoft took points from. 1. The Witcher- It just feels like it. 2. Destiny- Menu navigation&Loot systems. 3. AC: Black Flag- Ship travel 4. Nemesis System == Mercenary System. 5. Tom Clancy's: Borderlands- Cultist System

[@dreamtoast1553]

I really want Black Flag remastered. Easily one of my favorite games of all time and a remaster with new mechanics would be great.

[@oneandonlyJonnySad]

Where does the Assassins Creed part actually come into the game?

[@joshmartin2744]

Never? I'm pretty sure the answer is never. I mean, the game tells you it's Assassins vs. Templar, and it has EDEN lore, but they could just as easily called it something else.

[@lol-qk4mc]

Nowhere that’s why it’s good and origins is the best in the series don’t deny it you can’t

[@phantomh4nd966]

If you dont follow the lore ,stop commenting on it blindly like a hipster on hate bandwagon. play the all the games and dlc's, atleast the main story to understand where it actually connects to Order Vs Freedom struggle and how it goes back to isu civilization.

[@roberthubbard9590]

Pretty sure what is going on is Ubisoft is starting to tell the stories of the Assassin's that changed the course of history according to Ezio's Uncle Mario. If you remember in the mansion basement there were 6 statues. I believe from here on Ubisoft will start to tell the stories of each of those statues. I believe Bayek's wife Aya was one of those statues. We will see! Personally I am very excited where the franchise is headed.

Can we not ignore the bendy metal armor? The armor is part of the character models, so despite it being solid metal, it bends quite a bit when the character moves. Ryse did the armor WAY better.

[@CodyBrown-fs5eq]

The only review worth watching.

[@Zlittlepenguin]

I really loved this review, you did such a good job as always. One thing I’d add though, is the abilities in this game are pretty much ALL good and you can really tailor your abilities to you own play style. If you want to stealth one shot people you can upgrade abilities to do that, and if you want to just tank damage and slay people like a proper mercenary, you can do that as well. The abilities in the game are really helpful and the way you customise your gear can also help your abilities be more effective furthering your play style. It’s actually insane coming from an AC game to me. Definitely a pleasant surprise from the series

[@Aha777S7]

I have to disagree, regarding the setting of the game. Ancient Greece is an amazing place to visit with tons of historical figures to meet... The only let down for this game are the micritransactions which I hate. Apart from that, I can really see the effort and attention to detail that was put on this game. AMAZING (IMO)

[@ACGreviews]

who are you disagreeing with?

[@Aha777S7]

@@ACGreviews Ahaha. Sorry, forgot to mention. In my opinion ancient Greece is a better setting than Egypt, but this is totally subjective...In any case, I love your chanel and it is supercool that you replied. Sorry if I misunderstood anything from your review, but I watched it while exausted. .. Since you are seeing this, I just want to say thanks.

[@ACGreviews]

Ya we agree this is a better setting. I also feel that this is a more enjoyable and varied spot. My warning to folks was that if they expect the majesty and sometimes magical qualities of Origins they may be disappointed.

[@Aha777S7]

@@ACGreviews Sorry, I got you wrong, my bad...I think this might be one my favourite assassins creed games. however, as you mentioned the micritransactions are influencing the experience.

[@Eburon]

Just got stuck on Tutankhamun. I almost killed him when he had a tiny sliver of health left, but alas... Desynchronization.

[@hurripowers]

Just run around shooting him with arrows and avoid him. Then use your "super attack" when it's available. Just keep doing it and you'll handle it.

[@Eburon]

Yeah, I managed to beat him, but it took all of my arrows. The Ramesses shadow in Thebes was worse imo. I died three times trying to kil him, and he only spawns at random intervals in the city. This means you die -> you have to wait.

[@livingdeadfitness1528]

I have not played this series since 1-2. The exploration in this game is amazing! Like the graphics, environments, greece setting, and photo mode. I got the game for 20 bucks on PS4! I like the game, but get kinda confused & frustrated sometimes. The game reminds me of Witcher 3, but I think I like the combat better in this. Each type of weapon has a pro and con.

I mean, it's a great Ancient Greece game, but not a good Assassin's Creed game.

[@tedpabst5997]

This is one of those games that i think really depends on personal preference. I absolutely love it, but ive always loved greek history and mythology, so the amount of detail put into the open world is basically a dream come true for me. But if youre someone whos never played Assassins creed, or maybe hasnt played in a while, id still say its worth picking up, but probably wait for a good sale sometime round next year when you can get it cheap

The only AC game I ever played was black flag and I found it only mediocre. AC:Odyssey is flat an incredible game. One of the best I've ever played and I play a lot of games. Beautiful visuals, great storytelling, fantastic combat, smart rpg progression and loot, plus a level of polish and attention to detail that has few peers. It's a great game and easily worth the asking price. I've been at it for 200 hours, I'm not yet done with the mainline story, and I'm not even remotely bored. Playing on hard and the challenge vs reward mix is just perfect.
