Another Mixed Bag - Assassin's Creed Odyssey Review (Spoiler Free)

ImNotYourBroom I run it on PS4 yet my game also lags sometimes

[@clapointe151]

@@ahmedsachwani2868 yes but young console are more stable due to their engine. The fact is, console are made and designs for game. A pc has a game option. Some pc are ultra powerful but they have a wrong name" gaming pc" which is false because if it was, the number of bug will be next to zero in pc... But it still worse. Actually there is one thing that made the game even buggier: a ultra powerful pc. Yes the game is more stable because the power can even more handle it but the game itself need to keep up to ridiculous height making it in final less stable.

[@The1Floyd]

@@clapointe151 You're speaking from a position of obvious ignorance. A game is nothing more than code transferred into visuals, that is what a PC does all the time. The "bugs" as you put it are nothing to do with it being on a PC or a console, a bug is an oversight by the developers which causes problems in game. That's why you can patch bugs. By the way, I don't give a fuck how you play games. It doesn't matter that system, console, whatever, they all work fine. A more powerful PC will not have problems running this game than a normal PC, I have no idea where you got that opinion from. I suppose if you're referring to games that were released before modern technology existed you would have a point, but Odyssey was released a few years ago, it can be handled on absolutely any form of modern technology. There is absolutely no such thing as a GPU or CPU being "too powerful" for a game. That is simply nonsense. The game is just producing code to the GPU, the faster the GPU and CPU the quicker the game will run with smoother FPS, the GPU can't possibly be too fast for the actual software. This issue is so specific to Ubisoft, it's ridiculous. I can guarantee you 100% that both GTA V runs better than every single Ubisoft game, and Red Dead Redemption 2, which is far better looking than Odyssey will also run 100 times smoother. Ubisoft are absolutely trash at programming their games, they never put any effort into optimising for PC use. They have on record stated their distaste for the PC market, I have no doubt in my mind they purposely go out of their way to avoid optimising for PC. Just because Ubisoft are a terrible company and a trash triple AAA developer doesn't mean an entire format for playing video games is "inferior." Especially since it's easily documented that the PC platform is technologically superior. Small fact. My PC can run all modern age games, Assassin Creed Black Flag still in 2019 runs into lag spikes. That is poor game design.

[@clapointe151]

@@The1Floyd my stand point came from the point that pc version of bethesda game are even more buggy than the console version. Diablo too. And mass effect. And i have 0 knowledge of programming. Game design and scenario yes, but im a noob in tech. So yeah, thank for the info but still, i have a 2014 pc( which was very powerful back then) and i can't run even old game without framerate issue or lag/bug.

Maybe you dont feel like an assassin because you don't want to. I've been using a hunter/assassin hybrid build and it's by far the best and most fun stealth I've done in an A.C. game. I don't use the invisibility skill though, it's too much fantasy for my taste.

[@EvilSlayer398]

I dont like any of the fantasy aspect of it, nomatter how they want to reason it into the canon. Assassins Creed has always been really scientific at heart in my eyes. To get all this, just eh. Like he said, this game wouldve been better off as its own standalone game without the AC title. In my opinion, I honestly wish Ubisoft would make their own RPG framchise, and develop it seperately from AC. They could have some RPG elements in AC. I just wish I could still get that Assassins Creed feeling I got when playing games like AC Brotherhood, AC 3, AC Unity.

@@danielsharp9947 no it didnt. Hypocrites like yourself are beginning to piss me off. No. The assassin's weren't formed until the final cutscene of the game, and even then, they were the hidden ones, not yet the assassin brotherhood. The only thing assassin about it throughout the entire game is the leap of faith and hidden blade. And the white room, though it wasn't white in this game. Assassin's creed black flag was far more of an assassin's creed game, there were actual assassin's, actual templars, actual isu, peices of eden that worked and were central to the plot.

[@DADchs13]

Ok here’s the real deal- Origins will go down as one of my favorite games of all time probably, up there with AC2. It felt so fresh and polished, with a huge yet dense world where you actually felt immersed down in the world with each step. Every location was mysterious or interesting. And the amazing story felt like a journey across that world with a great main character and good side characters. Tons of content that revolved around solid gameplay and kept you coming back. Love and passion was poured into Origins by that team just like Black Flag. And that is why I love them both so much. Odyssey feels like to Origins what Rogue felt felt like to Black Flag. A complete and utter cash grab using a system that worked really well before (although they all have good stories). But The same care and passion wasn’t poured into these two games that was the ones that came before them. And that’s because they knew people would buy it. And they both suffer some because of it. It does feel so hollow at times, but the game has a solid gameplay loop and if you’re a certain type of player that likes the min/maxing of damage to find the perfect combination or grinding gear gameplay loop, (think Diablo and Warframe) then you’ll like the game more and it will feel less like a chore. You can play it for as little or as long as you want, depending on your own current goal. Just want to clear a fort to capture that one high rank dude for your crew? 15 minutes, done. And you got some gear along the way to either use, scrap, or sell. Want just a little 1 hour play sesh of a game? Sail around sinking ships, you’ll be gathering loot to upgrade later. It gives you the choice of how much or little you feel like doing at a certain time, just like Diablo and Warframe. For that I can give it a 7/10. Edit- and that’s completely neglecting to talk about whether it should be called an AC game or not. (It should.)

I agree with you in some ways. If the game wasn't called AC, people wouldn't complain as much. Terminology shouldn't matter that much in my opinion, but the people seem to have spoken. I might be in a minority but I actually haven't had this much fun with an rpg since TW3. The game doesn't try to be anything more than it is - a gorgeous sandbox with a gripping narrative and a plethora of systems. But I feel like you really need to take your time with this game; if you rush through it you will probably feel extremely underwhelmed after a few hours. It's a great game for role-playing, especially if you enjoy ancient Greek lore as much as I do!

[@user-mk5vj5bf3j]

Strongly agree with this

[@destiny61]

Okay, I REALLY enjoyed this game, but I got it because I thought it was a great RPG, and that's why I like it. If I bought it wanting a full AC game I would have been disappointed as well, so I think what you said in the review is accurate. Since I enjoyed it so much because of its RPG elements, I think your right in saying it should have been its own game not AC. BEWARE MY OPINIONS ARE BELOW... Open World, 9/10- Lots to do and I'm still enjoying it a lot. Parkour and Combat, 8.5/10- Parkour is smooth enough and works well. Combat I especially enjoyed, I like how I can switch up my play style whenever I feel like it. Overall story 7/10- Family Story, 9/10 Isu/Modern Day story, 7/10 Cultist Story, 6/10- Fun to start with, gets a bit grindy. Performance, 9/10- No major issues only some stutters. Naval Gameplay, 9/10- I loved how they tackled naval combat without the use of cannons. My overall rating is, 9/10 one of my favourite games to play right now! These are my opinions no hate please!

Well at it's its core it might be a generic RPG but then again... Which action rpg takes place in Greece, has sailing that is a love letter to sid Meiers Pirates and actually has a good (inspired by dark souls) combat system? As I said, it might be generic at its core but it's actually a VERY unique product in the market. When you left the movies after watching 300 you probably (as a gamer) wanted to play something that gave you the feeling of being in that universe and Odyssey is literally the only action game (probably ever) that delivers it. That's why Mad Max is one of the most generic repetitive games of this generation while also being the only game that makes you feel like you're in the movie because they nailed the atmosphere and world building.

[@adarwinterdror7245]

ACOD is a shallow RPG? I think no other game scratches it in terms of gameplay mechanics and active systems. TW3 has far superior world, characters and stories, but in terms of gameplay - ACOD is one of the best RPGs i ever played, its deep, has tons of content, has awesome combat, costumization and so much more.

I didn't even finish the game. I finished the main family storyline, but the atlantis and cult stories I didn't finish. After grinding and playing through the game, after 60 hours, I was only level 45 when I stopped. I'd done most of the forts, all but the level 50 cultists (there are many of them though), and 3 of the 4 mythical monsters. I realized it would take me days to grind to level 48 so I could do the level 50 content, then remembered red dead redemption 2 was coming out, and said fuck it. I'm replaying the first red dead until then. The fact that 2 of the main stories are level gated at max level and the grinding is insane, you level so slowly, just to encourage getting xp boosters, this killed the franchise for me. It's death began with origins, and has finally been buried with odyssey. I'm so sad, since this was once my favorite franchise in the world. Everyone has one franchise that they're just super fans of, for some it's star trek, other star wars, some it's lord of the rings, or transformers, or some superhero. Me, it was assassin's creed. Now it's dead. Good job guys. The game Itself wasn't bad, the gameplay, graphics, etc. But that level gate was enough to cripple it. I'd wait til it goes on sale if you've yet to buy it.

To be honest, that is my feeling right there. I’ve played 50 hours and somehow only level 35, although I did try playing on Nightmare, and it’s like I was fighting cartoon characters. This game is lacking in the historical and assassin’s connections they used to build upon in prior games. They used the fuck it bucket and said, who cares about history and being a cool assassin? Let’s make a demigod game. I felt a bit disappointed, because the atmosphere I felt in terms of historical immersion with the first 2 AC games, as well as Origins was just abandoned in this game. This game becomes absurd sometimes, and it pissed me off the missed potential. Greece is a beautiful place, and it was missed upon extremely in my opinion. I wish in something like 10 years they come back to Greece with something else in better story quality.

[@ninj4zninj4z12]

I feel like the gameplay is good apart from enemies and even boats being a damage sponge, what i think they should do for the next AC game is add a linear story option like the old AC games with less need for side quests/leveling to go through the main story, no dialogue options, historically accurate like not being able to kill innocents and other stuff, and a non linear story option like odyssey, better lipsync, facial animations, character emotions, less hp on enemies and focusing more on actual assassins creed lore

[@divinium33]

personally, when i heard it had nothing to do with the assassins and it was before origins i just shit on the game a lot but i was like f it watched the walkthroughs and i actually liked it and i really really wanna play it. im still pissed its not a "robed" assassins creed (trade mark that shit 😂) but i really like the game since it went full rpg. i stopped playing origins like halfway through cuz i was a low level shit who doesn't like those combat controls (that's just me i sucked and missions in that game and in combat) but i prefer odysseys combat and side missions more including rewards and leveling up. i also find the story better than origins, im not saying origins was bad i liked it but and how it was set in Egypt but i love ancient Greece a bit more. the map played a huge role for me cuz origins was yellow and sandy (obviously cuz its in Egypt) but i like how colorful and vibrant odyssey is. thats just my opinion

In my opinion, Odyssey may not be the best AC game but overall it blew my expectations, the story really relates to the assassins and Templar conflict from a different point of view and going in I didn’t expect that much but as you play it, it’s an amazing game and a step in the right direction for the story of Assasin’s Creed in general.

[@Bms010]

How is a right step for the story of Assassins Creed? They basically pulled a story out of their ass to include choices and give the player a gender option. Even then the choices didn't really do anything but decide do I kill my sibling and family or not in the end. Then said you know what let's not make the main antogoinsts seem compelling at all and just let the player kill then while repeating the same "you deserve worse or malakah" each time. A right direction would've been if they let you play as Darius considering he actually is in the already established lore and influenced the Creed in some way. The only step up was modern day and even that didn't do much.

[@TheEntorm]

Bms010 0 you have to remember the two part transaction into and rpg, the first part was origins and the second one is odyssey, many people forget they are planting the seeds to expand the franchise beyond the conflict of the assassins and Templar’s which is why in origins they showed the order of the ancients (the first Templar’s) and the hidden ones (the first brotherhood of assassin’s). This is why in Odyssey they are focusing on the first civilization in hopes of them playing major roles in future games, not only that I’m pretty sure Ubisoft isn’t just making stories for no reason like any other major video game franchise it is meant to be connected an different course odyssey isn’t the best assassin’s creed but it may just lead to one 👍🏻

[@TheEntorm]

IBeJamz Even though I disagree with your opinion of the the Ezio trilogy I do however agree with the fact that Alexios is a new and original character of assassin’s creed due to the fact that nearly every assassin’s creed protagonist has either lost a parent or another family member unlike Alexios who has been abandoned by his family and then finds them and has a happy ending. 👍🏻

[@TheEntorm]

jonny s 👍🏻

[@Bms010]

The Entorm I agree with you on most of your points but look up the ten commandments set by the original developers of the Assassins Creed series and you'll understand that by moving away from the Assassins vs Templar conflict is horrible. For one that's the basis for the game and if this game was to move away from that conflict the game would basically be like the new Halo games and I think we all know what happened with that. We could also look a Fallout 76 which is online only mmo rpg. Which has major Fallout fans not willing to buy it a d protest it. My point is it will ruin the series cause alotta people to lose interest and start to stop buying the games. I mean hell people are already doing that. Odyessy is already losing alot of AC fans.

[@stephenwakeman3074]

There are still plenty of terrible side quests. E.g. Please deliver this very important message / item as it’s dangerous or time consuming. And the recipient is literally 150m away. Or “save my husband who’s been taken because we can’t pay a bill” and upon rescuing said person the quest giver coughs up loads of money and gems which they apparently didn’t have because remember why you did what you just did? There’s some good ones but a lot of them are really sloppy.

I like how the first five games the modern day was awesome mysterious but fun and a good story building there and for the last 6 games it went barely anywhere and they still don't seem to want to bring it back at this point

[@razeenwadud2601]

My problem was the pacing and over saturation with content. A surplus of content is good, but I felt overwhelmed to where I was taken out of the immersion, whereas Origins gave a calm and ancient atmosphere that was immersive, and you felt you were within the time period, and Egypt itself. Odyssey lacks the immersion and atmosphere, it is much too wacky. The history is lacking as well in my opinion, which is natural being a decision based RPG. How do you balance player decision making with a historical/ science fiction franchise? You really don’t, Odyssey is something different. My mistake was going into this as an assassin, rather than a demigod, in which that would’ve helped envision the experience. Although, demigods should strike down bandits and anorexic soldiers in one strike...

[@chriswalker5061]

Instead of a pick your character, they should had made both characters playable during different parts of the game. One character starts the adventure and the other character finishes it.

[@skybl0ksnl]

I'm loving it so far, if i look at the progress other people have made up to level 25 im far behind in the story stuff. That's because im so in love with the world. i don't know what it is, but this world just makes me wanna explore and explore even more. The story so far is pretty good, i'm really liking it. Althougt i'm not really looking forward to doing it again with Kassandra. (im planning on replaying it as kassandra) The combat can be amazing and i can feel like a god. But man.. I play this on Nightmare mode from start, and it just feels broken? Sometimes an regular enemy can take 500 hits, sometimes only 3. Its weird.. I feel like its RNG damage sometimes. For example: I had this bounty hunter with an jaguar, i INSTANT stealth killed her, then died to her jaguar in 3 hits, he even managed to set me on fire.. (like wtf?) Then when i tried to one hit her again, it just didnt do it. Only around 40% of her health, then i died another time, and i did 70% stealth damage.. Naval exploration is amazing imo, Fuck the combat tho. FUCK THE COMBAT Good review Fizhy! And you're right, the landscapes and towns are BEAUTIFUL.

[@skybl0ksnl]

Oh no i don't mean that i dislike Kassandra, i just mean that i'm not really looking forward to doing the main story again when i replay the game as her.

[@lapin2471]

For me, it's the best Assassin's Creed since the second one. I embraces the changes made with a way better storyline since I was getting bored of the Templar vs Assassin stories since Brotherhood.

[@jaywilliams1861]

🤦‍♂️

[@lapin2471]

Man, Black Flag is actually one of my favourite game too (and that one wasn't that focused on the Templar/Assassin's conflict;) ). AC2, Black Flag and Odyssey are my favourite ones. As for Origins, I found the characters not likable (like in AC3 in fact), I hated Aya, I didn't hated Bayek, but I didn't loved him.. I just can`t relate to him the way the game presented him. I can't say the name of a great side character too. And the end game, man the end game of Origins is simply rushed and bad (the Caesar plot).

[@lapin2471]

Black Flag is now considered of the best game in the series too, but I remember, in that time, people was saying it was bad since it wasn't focused enough on the brotherhood (like Odyssey lol). Time will say if Odyssey will get the same treatment.

[@lapin2471]

You can like it, I can't change this ahah. I just say my opinion! But I agree on AC4 as one of the best too! But I disagree on AC Odyssey being a bad AC game. What I like on Assassin's Creed is the mythologic part with fragments of Eden and there is a LOT of fragments in Odyssey. In fact, I think it is more an AC game than Origins (the Assassins were only there in the end cinematic and the DLC if we think of it).

[@lapin2471]

I just finished the game (80h + 100%) and of for me, it's the best since AC2. But everything is not perfect, i wished the end game with the cultists was less long or more developped. 2 of the 3 endings were pretty satisfying. One of the 3 was kind of a let down for me (don't want to spoil). I hope the expansions will fix this. What about you @bbane6995 ?

[@Reza-hz1ce]

Yep the damage sponge ennemies are the game s biggest problem, the way i found to solve it is to add a lot of crit damage to your equipment and use the spear that double your damage, with it and you can one shot ennemies like mercenaries or captain with assassin abilities. The only downside : its only doable at the highest level when you ve basically become a demigod

[@MrJackblack7]

I honestly liked the game and think it's a worthy successor to Origins (although Origins has stuff better than Odyssey) but I am a bit skeptical on where the series goes from here.

[@Deivid-bn6yw]

The next AC better be the most AC game an AC game can be. I want hoods,ASSASSINS VS TEMPLARS(not some warrior) Hidden blades,smoke bombs,rope darts,berserk darts,sleep darts,throwing knives, social stealth(maybe disguises) pieces of Eden that don’t create creatures, crossbow. But keep new combat system, long story line, multiple weapon and armour customisation, pet eagle, skill tree but remove dialogue options because it fucks with the lore and last but no least A GAME IN JAPAN OR A BAYEK SEQUEL

[@Deivid-bn6yw]

Keep what made the franchise great and move it to the new style

[@supremorthesupreme2336]

Well as a Greek i had faith in this game ... Haven’t played it yet but I must say the negative elements you pointed out were expected because of the success of origins .

[@Max1990Power]

For me the side quests in origins and odyssey helped me to connect more to the protagonists. Yes some side quests are repetitive but that is mostly on lvl 40-50. I also think this is a great RPG with a lot of content. I reached lvl 50 earlier this week but I am still not done with the cultists or the family storyline. And because I play on nightmare mode my enemies are always strong and can kill you with 1-2 strikes. In some extend i agree that the storyline is a bit messy, but that is because i try to do everything at once. Anyway I like the story here better than lets say Skyrim. I also like that NPC:s mention your deeds throughout the game. It really makes you feel like a hero. What I do miss from earlier AC games Bring back social stealth and the ability to build your own house or village. I loved that part with Montirrigioni in AC II. It would also give me something to spend my 500 000 drachme on. And a love story. Yes we can have romance options, but Ezio had Caterina, that girl from florence and Sophia. I would like love story for Bayek and Kassandra/alexio as well. Finally, I think this is an assassins creed game. It has stealth, parkour, ISU, animus and although templars or assassins aint mentioned they are there. But both Alexios/Kassandra and Edward Kenway stumble into this world. For next game I hope we continue with something Bayek related. I would like a game set in the julio-claudian dynasty. Perhaps during the reign of Caligula? Then we can learn about the assassins cell in Rome. Cheers

[@izunia8436]

I noticed that your targets would automatically level with you and the main quests would jump levels and one of the stupid things is that dead cultists would level up after you killed them or took care of them and there's a level 49 cultist that becomes level 46 once you do the related quests and sometimes there are enemies that are a higher level than the area they are in like for example The freaking Minotaur is level 40 exceeding the average level range of the island

[@fashb2k]

[@johannwulff5515]

If I lower the difficulty to easy will the enemy still be bullet sponges? Update: great review! You are spot on with what I noticed so far.

[@coderau]

Origins was about the beggining of the brotherhood. Odyessy is about the beggining of the templars/order of the ancients/ the cult of cosmos. Idk just my take on it

[@Mwothyman]

Pretty much. Odyessey was there to establish the bad guys. It would make sense for a spartan trained warrior to not slip around the area like a snake. I think if they had majorly different playstyles with Alexios and Kassandra and marketed it as that. Like, we're trying something different. If you like the OG Assassin creed, go with Alexios. If you want to spice it up go with Kassandra. I actually wish the whole "The main characters are related to Leonidas" was a bigger part of the story and well thought out more.

[@flightlesslumen2317]

The cult of cosmos has nothing to do with the templars and the only link to the templars/order of the ancients in this game is in the first blade dlc...and it's not even their beginning either as the order was created by the pharaoh smenkhkare over 900 years before odyssey, information which you can find in his respective tomb if you play origins. This game just exists and that's all.

[@Kryptix0III]

After playing the main game and the first blade dlc, origins was much better

[@Xkittyloverr1997]

I just got through playing this myself, and I agree with a good chunk of what you said, especially about the gameplay and exploration. I will say that I enjoyed most of story, and the aesthetic issues were resolved (you can put skins on all your gear, provided you already had the desired weapon at some point). On the subject of the story, I think it was an interesting angle. Hear me out; even though Kassandra wasn't an assassin herself (which makes sense considering her words at the end), she still held a piece of Eden, which would be of interest to both sides. We can't expect all the pieces to always and up in Assassin or Templar hands. Even in Origins, when Bayek found an apple, he just handed it off like "I don't know what the fuck this is, here". So while it drags the big picture a little, and I wouldn't recommend they do it again (or at least not for a while) I think it was a nice touch. What I want to address as an issue to me is the DLC with Darius. A lot of fans are saying that *that* should have been a full game and not Odyssey, and I half agree. I would have like a full game in ancient Persia, but I still like Odessey and the DLC, and I think having both games with the DLC as a bridge, would have been nice. All that said, I'm not an gaming expert, I only really play a handful of games, Assassin's Creed being one of them. I'm here for a fun time and a good story.

[@swetzwastaken]

The 1 thing that could make the AC branding make more sense for Odyssey is the upcoming DLC about the First Hidden Blade or whatever it was called. It makes sense and kind of shows why AC should be in the name behind Odyssey but it's sad that you have to pay money just to be able to call it an Assassin's Creed Game.

[@maximilianl4453]

I love the game. Not in a AC kind of perspective, but viewed as a RPG its pretty cool. Only the fighting is a bit odd sometimes... The enemys are damage sponges in most situations, but fire or poison attacks are so ultra op, that you could fight deimos and 3 more Bountyhunters.

[@skudpud]

I’m not 100% opposed to the changes that have been made to the AC series but I miss stealth being the actual focus of the game. I think Unity had it right (to fit my preferences.) Individual gear items that augmented the effectiveness of certain approaches sounds the most appealing to me and, honestly, I’m sick and damn tired of sneaking up behind someone and shanking them in the neck...only for them to not die and, other than the decrease in their current health, they haven’t been impeded. I could see not being able to one-hit-kill certain enemies due to different gear (suits of plate armor not being able to be penetrated by a hidden blade) or individual traits like in the Nemesis system from Shadow of War (“Paranoid: Can’t be stealth killed, etc.”) which would prod you to change your approach to fit the individual target and be creative with your kills. Or, at the very least, if you shank someone in the neck and, if it doesn’t do enough damage to kill them outright, you have a percentage chance to make them bleed out and various speeds or poison them allowing you to run and hide while they slowly die. To balance that out, give the enemies access to medical attention or antidotes that would stabilize their bleeding and/or neutralize the poison if they get attended to within a certain amount of time. I’m just tired of all the enemies being either the same battle pattern, the same assassination-damage dealing leading into the same battle pattern, or just an outright assassination.

I feel as if you misunderstand what was meant by change, we did specify what we were after, as fans, and this game doesn't quite hit the mark.

[@ronniewhitedx]

I 100% agree with you. I think out of anyone you'd have appreciation for the Assassins Creed franchise so I won't argue. I would comment more about the narrative of this game but I'm only about 30 hours in, but in my opinion it's the same stealth mechanics the Assassins Creed games has used since the beginning but with an added sense of depth and tactical analysis. But Ubisoft has this powerful ability to take an interesting world and do nothing with it narratively so I'd personally like an interconnected Ubisoft universe at some point where each story somehow connects and then plays off each other, idk probably just reaching for straws at this point.

[@ronniewhitedx]

Plus I don't agree with the whole "it shouldnt be called Assassin's Creed" I think any part of the mythos is still apart of the universe. What they could've maybe should've done was just called the game "Odyssey" and late game you figure out that it's an Assassins Creed game... Like a semi twists...

[@tobyguinea2556]

Ron Nicklas hey mate, to be honest I haven't played this yet but seeing as it's pretty similar to origins I'm gunna infer what I thinks happening and please correct if I'm wrong here, but I really don't believe the stealth is the same. Origins (and potentially odyssey) have completely forgone the social stealth from the earlier games, based on the fact that the default state of movement is running instead of walki ng g now and that I completed the only tailing mission I found in origins by literally walking next to the target. Social stealth was one of the main pillars of AC since the start and it seems to have gone in recent times

[@rondaniels5089]

The only people I see having a negative opinion on this game are ironically those close minded self righteous old AC fans. They simply can't accept that the game is good for the overwhelming majority and try to push their own opinions thinking it is the only one that matters, hence why I call them self righteous.

[@tiepilot8875]

Is this game an assassins’creed ? IMO, it is. Yes, there are no proper « assassins » or templars, and so is the case in origin until the ending. The modern day and ISU parts make this game an AC as much as the next one. I like the fact that the franchise is becoming a universe rather than just a « checklist » with hidden blades, assassins and templar. Just look at STAR WARS, a game, a movie or a book in the star wars universe but without jedis, siths and lightsabers shouldn’t be called star wars ? Even tho it is set in the exact same universe ? Thinking « Universe » instead of checklist also leave space for more creativity, it would have been kind of sad to not experience the peloponesian war just because it happens prior to the creation of the brotherhood or the templars

[@magic200100]

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! I was waiting for your review, heard what you said and decided not to buy the game just yet and just go see the Isu story ending. Aaaaand WTF was that...???? You just saved me 60€ mate, cheers! Honestly, it seems like they tried to force an Isu story out of it just to have a connection with the franchise. Cassandra's/Alexios' words at the end came out of nowhere. Both order and chaos/freedom need to exist, both Assassins and Templars. Eeeeh, no. It was established at the first game and hinted at AC3 that both groups strive for the same thing, peace. Assassins choose the path of free will and democracy to prevent conflict and struggle when Templars choose control and a ruled, obeying society. One is freedom and the other a dictatorship. Clearly the latter needs to be stopped. It tried to be philosophical but it fell on its head because that's not what the game shows through the years. The Templars are wrong in their approach, end of discussion. Great Review btw 😝😝

I think if the next AC game either go's back to some of its core roots (story telling and combat of a game like AC 2 or black flag and doing more modern day missions and story telling) the game series would still be good but if they are determined to continue straying further from that formula i think it should focus more into new mechanics then using similar ones (like in witcher 3 or dark souls) and responding to complaints and dislikes (like the bloody damage sponge enemies)

Don’t care at all for the modern day story line, they should have it at the beginning of every game to tie things together and nothing more.

Also agree on how the gear esthetic isn’t that great (like other games) and that it shouldn’t play to much of a big part on stats, so we can easily choose our own look. The enemies are damage sponges and its kinda annoying. I really really like the option of playing as male or female, so they should keep it coming.

Still, I really loved that a good portion of side quests hit the "fuck it" and decided to go for humor. If I really have to do these missions just to get enough level for the main missions, at least they made me laugh

I think I will play this game anyway when the time comes.

The one thing I hated in Black Flag was the naval combat. I thought this game did so many things right with the naval combat. But, I can see where you're coming at.

Odyssey may just be a distraction or mockery like syndicate to origins. And odyssey to........ (Japan???)

[@Annatar5289]

you make some good points, but me personally, im loving it. is it a good AC game? i think it isnt. is it a good game? id say hell yeah, ive been loving every minute of it :D ancient greece RPG is amazing

Spoiler alert: I’m still dumbfounded they didn’t find a proper way to tie the story of odyssey into the events of origins. There’s so many obvious historical connections. The weakening of Athens and Sparta is definitely a factor in the rise of Macedonia. Hence Alexander conquers greece, then all the way from Greece to Egypt, to Persia. Why not tie this into the staff of eden that he apparently wielded. Or have him visit the Cult’s underground temple by the Oracle of Delphi’s home in a cutscene. This would tie in nicely to the story of Origins and perhaps tie into the birth of the Order of the Ancients, which remains completely unexplored. Why not find some way to incorporate the actions of Alexios/Kassandra into the canon of assassins. Especially since the spear of Leonidas looks like an assassin symbol, I completely expected it to form the first hidden blade or something. Instead it’s forgotten just to be found by Layla? That’s boring and does nothing to justify why we went this far back into the past except for the cool setting. There needs to be tangible story connections to the events of later games in order to justify this as an AC game and not a standard RPG. This was done in Black Flag which is why that was not just a regular pirate game. Ultimately it feels like a significant missed opportunity.

Dlc probably.

it looks like a reskin of origins. The horses, the birds, the graphics, hell, even the map markers
