    Perfects everything Origins did and enhances them in ways you never thought an Assassin's Creed game could. Odyssey has it all.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a massive game set in an incredible recreation of an ancient world. I wish the special moves were a little less clunky to use and that assassinations always resulted in kills, but these are minor complaints when compared to the fun that I had in the game. It might not be an Assassin's Creed game in the strictest sense, but the journey across Ancient Greece that Odyssey took me on was well worth the ride.

    With Odyssey, Ubisoft has crafted the biggest Assassin's Creed to date. A colossal open world, action RPG, that can go toe to toe with the biggest names in the genre. If you're a fan of this kind of game, don't miss it.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is big and beautiful. Could it be a much better game? Sure. But it's an amazing adventure with echoes of the Greek classic tales about travels and fantasy.

    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.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey is one of the best chapters of the series, and will delight any fan. Too bad for a limping technical optimization, which spoils the performance of what could have been the best Assassin's Creed ever made.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey features a rich, lush world lessened by its repetitive activities. Though the main story is compelling, completing it requires you to participate in a massive amount of level grinding through less-than-stellar side quests. There’s plenty to do in this world, but a lot of it feels like busy work that fights to stay exciting or compelling. Odyssey is yet another open world game that misinterprets the meaning of more content.

    I loved Origin and I am loving Odyssey.
    The only negative thing about the game is the voice acting of Alexio's

    Yes it’s now pretty much an RPG ,does that really matter ?to some it seems to .
    For me this is the perfect game to get stuck into for the next couple of weeks ,probably months .
    If you like orgins you will love this ,stunning map(62% bigger than origins ) from land to ship battles ,great combat ,more advanced than origins .if you like RPGS and open world games then this is perfect for you.easy 9.5 out of 10 from me    … Expand

    For brands that are trying to reinvent itself I think this is the best example of doing it successfully without completely rebooting theFor brands that are trying to reinvent itself I think this is the best example of doing it successfully without completely rebooting the franchise. It is definitely the furthest departure from the AC gameplay that launched this world, but the amount of content and versatility included at day one is staggering compared to many on the market now. If you play your looking at enough content to rival a Bethesda game (fallout/elder scrolls). Assassins creed is no longer a weekend and done sort of game. it is a grind with good story, romances, and choices (sound familiar?). The micro transactions are a bit troubling yes, hence an 8/10, but they are not completely invasive. You can play this game without it and be perfectly fine. If your an achievement hunter, mmo player, and/or looking for something to get lost in for a while, this game will not disappoint you.

    This is not a traditional assassins creed game though, just like origins. Do not expect it to be like syndicate, unity, or anything before that.    … Expand

    The graphics and animation feel outdated. The voice acting is high school level. Not what I expected.

    Assassins Creed hasn't been relevant since Assassins Creed II, and if you're feeling exceedingly Generous, Black Flag.

    As some other astute reviewers have already pointed out, this is a literal reskin of origins, with some tacked on new elements, and then topped it all off with a lathering of good old microtransactions. Y'know, the fact that you're going to charge over £100 for the top tier release of the game isn't enough, you need to rip the player off in game too, touche Ubisoft. Whilst I wouldn't fall for this corporate mess in a month of mondays, I do applaud Ubisoft on managing to continually mug legions of people off, time, after time, after time..... Frankly, it's impressive.

    Hey Koei, you could learn a lot from old Ubisoft. Time to upgrade Dynasty Warriors, and get on that Cash Cow train, choo choo, allboard.........No thanks.    … Expand
