Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

Main story very fun but after it become repetitive because you need to do tedious side quests to level up.

Its a pretty fun ubisoft open world RPG, not sure why its called Assassins Creed though.
There is no need to be stealthy at any point of the game, but if you yourself decide to play stealthy it is viable and fun.
The story and characters arent very impressive, but the world is and I had fun exploring it, aswell as collecting new equipment and building my character. The supernatural elements from the AC world are particularly present in this game, so be ready to fight minotaurs.
The monetization scheme is surprisingly generous. The DLCs add a lot of content, mainly Atlantis. The First Blade DLC is a pretty futile attempt to somehow link the story to assassins and AC Origins (and as mentioned the story isnt this games strength), but it adds enough stuff to justify buying the the whole thing on sale instead of just the Atlantis DLC. The items from the in-game shop are also available at a vendor for an ingame currency available from weekly and daily missions. The vendors selection is randomized every week, so its hard to find specific items, but playing regularly (a couple hours per week) you can get basically everything you want.

We've gone full RPG which means lots of missions and a huge world, though sometimes missing the mark a bit

+ Return of ship portions that actually matter
+ Characters are really fun
+ bird is back
- I accidentally completed the epilogue without knowing, thus kinda ruining my ending
- it is very long and thanks to the very seperate quest lines its easy to forget the story
- Romance options are a very weird addition that felt totally unimpactful

An odyssey:
1. The best combat of all three games (Origins vs Odyssey vs Valhalla).
2. The grand open world, together with full naval combat.
3. An endless conflict. (Sadly, we have no fortress/castle of our own to claim and hold.)
9+/10.

Singleplayer MMO-RPG simulator with microtransactions, but I liked it. Won't buy another AC though.. until they stop microtransactions and make actually good game.

those assassins really were on an odyssey

Actually unplayable, I installed DLC a while after playing this game and the game will just not launch anymore, no matter what I do. I tried contacting customer support, but of course they just deleted my request. I have never been this infuriated with bullshit UI, but Ubisoft continues to disappoint me in all areas. Fuck Ubisoft and their stupid app and fuck me for thinking that I would have fun with a Ubisoft game. Please do not waste your money on a game that won't work.

Game Without Issues: 7/10
Game With Issues: 0/10

My absolute favorite assassin creed game. Gameplay is the strongest in the series however it is not the strongest in terms of story elements compared to origin, black flag, ezio trilogy.

I love Kassandra. Did I mention I love Kassandra? The world is so damn pretty and Kassandra... did I talk about Kassandra yet? Love her. Honestly not a AC game at all, but a fucking awesome open world action RPG. And I have the biggets crush on Kassandra. Alexios is fine too... I guess. I would not know, I never played him. Why would I when there is someone like Kassandra? xD Ubisoft "strong females" are always shit, but when they clearly wrote a role for a male character and make his gender changeable without altering any dialogue, it results in a truly compelling female character free from all the "modern cool girls have to be big ugly bitches who need no man...or woman...or anyone" trope. Kassandra is cool for fucks sake. Not cause she needs to be a female icon, not because she is a forced minority. There is no cringy "Oh, cause I'm a woman?" situation, she never nags about her gender, she never is reduced to being seductive because she is a woman (as the other half of these stupid extremes nowadays often write women). None of these annoying ass tropes. No oversexualisation, no "portray her super manly". Altough she clearly is tough, as a assassin like her has to be. But yeah, she's just cool like that.

The game have lots of cutscene,mechanics and beautiful graphic.It could be difficult at the beggining of the game but as you progress more, the game become more fun.This game also very suitable for those who are looking to spend time for awhile.As i write this review,i have 120 hours on the game and still not finish it yet.have fun :)

very glitchie, the further into the game the worse it glitches and abilities stop working during battles. i regret this purchase. apparently the problem is only on the steam purchase.

One of the best games Ubisoft has made. The attention to detail in the world design of Ancient Greece is immaculate that it is even used by historians as actual depictions of that age. It doesn't feel like an AC game but it does feel like you are stepping into your own Odyssey.

A wonderful game all around.

Play this before Valhalla. I got out of the AC franchise a decade ago, because I found the gameplay really formulaic and grindy. If you're a player like me you were lured back into the franchise by Valhalla, and now you're thinking about whether or not you should play any of the games that came before it. The answer is you should play this one. Origins was fine, but more of a standalone. This game bleeds into Valhalla in a number of great ways. I finished the game and all the DLC last night and I already miss Kassandra. This game is incredible. If you like games similar to The Witcher, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc, you will love this.

It's a very beautiful world, graphics are top notch, a very technically impressive game. However, the game is overly long and the gameplay is not varied, prepare for a big grind! It's basically an RPG, similar to Witcher 3, but Witcher 3 has a far more interesting story. Gameplay is nothing special, but it is fun to sneak around enemy camps. The game is so long and grindy that it feels like a relief when you have finally completed it. I did not feel any interest in playing the DLCs, I got my fill from the main story.

I always get confused when people complain about Origins or Odyssey.

They are grand adventure games, with a focus on stealth but option to focus of straight combat.
The locations look amazing, even in 2024, the naval battles are great, the story is engaging, the voice actors are great!

9/10 game, definitely worth buying.

Amazing game. Maybe the most beautiful game I've ever played. There are many games that are more graphically impressive, but the detail and world design in this game is incredible. There's very few things that I dislike about Odyssey, but the things that I dislike are big things.

My main criticism revolves around the combat. Enemies are damage sponges. You'd think it's to encourage stealth, but most enemies don't die immediately from your assassination attacks. If you want them to die immediately, you'll have to create a build optimized for assassinations. For the majority of the game you will be using random gear that you find. Around level 50 is probably when you'll start making real builds. It's a very slow game. Don't start it unless you are gonna commit to it.

The second thing is that the game is way too big. There's too much. It might seem like an odd criticism, but when you play for yourself you will understand. All my play time is just one playthrough. I did all you can do and it was exhausting.

I don't see myself ever playing again, but I really enjoyed the game. The story was great, though predictable. A lot of very intense emotional moments. The Atlantis DLC is massive and awesome. The Legacy DLC is good too. I definitely recommend the game to others. Especially people who like Greek history

"Assassin's Creed Odyssey" is an incredible action RPG that takes you on an epic journey through ancient Greece as a Spartan mercenary caught between Athens and Sparta. The graphics are gorgeous, bringing Greece's landscapes, cities, and landmarks to life. The open world feels huge and alive, inviting you to explore everywhere—from mountaintops to the depths of the sea—packed with quests, secrets, and plenty to discover. The story is shaped by your choices, giving you multiple main story paths that make each playthrough feel unique. Alongside the main missions, there’s also the thrill of hunting down the Cult of Kosmos, climbing the mercenary ranks, and battling in arenas. Taking down other mercenaries in the arena, especially to reach the top, is an absolute highlight! The game also has optional boss fights, bounty missions, and lots of cool weapons to collect. If you love action-packed RPGs with deep stories and loads of exploration, "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" is a must-play. Highly recommended!

Great game with tons to do. I know this review is being written in 2024, but I decided to buy on PC and replay after losing my 100+ hour save on PS . Forgot how much I enjoyed this game. Keeps me entertained for hours.

Great game with tons to do. I know this review is being written in 2024, but I decided to buy on PC and replay after losing my 70+ hour save on PS with Alexios. Switched it up to Kassandra on PC and forgot how much I enjoyed this game. Keeps me entertained for hours.

Man, I wish there would be an option on Steam to give a "Mid" or "Buy on sale" rating, because this game is definitely one of those for me.
It has some great stuff, like the setting (more subjective, but it's one of my fav), the visuals, music, some characters are genuinely fun and memorable (including Kassandra, one of my favorite AC characters in general).
However, the gameplay loop gets a little too old too quickly. This game is the definition of some of the recent Ubi fluff where you have quantity over quality, also don't like the difficulty balance, normal is too easy, and hard makes enemies damage-sponges.

Overall, I'd probably put it in a range of 6.5-7/10 sort of games, which is totally not bad and above mid most of the times, but man, can it be boring and annoying at times. I have already played and completed it previously on PS4 when it came out, and nowadays I don't feel like I have time or patience for something like this, especially when we have amazing handcrafted experiences like BG3, for example.
Stopped at chapter 7 and didn't touch the DLCs. Maybe will return in the future, when I have nothing else to play or just in the mood for smth like this.
I still totally recommend to buy it on a sale though, and I know people who LOVE this kind of stuff. Chaire!

Nice landscapes and music work, gameplay is just repetitive with MMO mechanics that will get you bored after 30 minutes. There were a few good ideas, but that's about it. Story is meh, choices don't have a real influence, dialogues don't have any consistency and are usually badly acted. The game uses level restrictions on everything to prevent you from going some places too early, but you don't feel any progression in terms of power.

I finished everything just out of sheer spite. Wasn't worth it.

Where to start this review.....
If you are looking at good ASSASSINS CREED game this is not it, not even by longshot even the first Assassins Creed is better when it comes to playthrough experience.

Lets start with the good and decent sides.
+Beautiful world and graphics
+Funny side characters and nice characters all in all
+Greek mythology and history

Then the not so good stuff.
-In my opinion the overall game experience is horrible (yes I know I played 130h and through all dlc and so on).
-In Odyssey u can jump of the highest mountain u can find and not get even a scratch (same with the horse, long live Phobos). -There is abilities I didnt even want to use since they break immersion for me fully (invisibility, vanishing of bodies and so on).
-Fighting is ok but feels like forced all the time even when u would want to sneak around (I know they didnt intend this to be sneak game but why make it assassins creed then?!).
-Story is mediocre and way too long for basicly nothing happening there. In general the game is just way too wast and large game for AC game, if u want huge map and great content for the map play Red Dead Redemption 2, Skyrim or Fallout example. -DLC stories were better than the whole main game and took only fraction of the time that the main game grind takes.
-And the bugs/clitches you have oh boy.....invisible walls, not being able to climb in obvious ways but when u have a sleek bronze statue with nothing to grasp that u can climb easy as.....In general I like clitches and bugs they make games usually fun but in case of Odyssey they just made it painful to play.
-Modern day story and protagonist is just so boring....(we want Desmond)

I think the list would be too long if I just kept writing everything that pops in my mind. If someone feels like playing this game anyways sure give it a go. It might even be decent game if u are not hardcore AC fan like me or if u havent experienced what is perfect huge open world game called Red Dead Redemption 2 then yes u might even like it. But for me this was most horrible 130h experience (dont know why I kept going, maybe because I hoped it would get better, but it didnt).

These Ubisotf RPG games just takes the fun out of gaming. Ubisoft is terrible at making RPGs, and they have no idea of what they're doing. This game is designed around selling you microtransactions and the game suffers for it. Your choices has no real impact on the story and ubisoft made an RPG game just for the sake of it. The main story as well as the side quest are lackluster with generic voice acting. I only played it for the sake of Assassin's creed, but this isn't even Assassin's creed. It's a giant open world of nothing.

The story was mediocre at best. Graphics are OK for when the game released.
Had some decent stealth gameplay. The usual Ubisoft quantity over quality, loot shit until you have 100% open-world BS.

What was bad:
The voice acting, scripts and cutscenes were awful. You have an arena for fight for death and teh crowd is voice-acted by 3 people. That's some lousy cheers. All battles, cutscenes etc feel not as epic as they try to be. The characters are lazily and badly written.
The game forces you to use the Ubisoft launcher, even though it is useless. When you buy the season pass on Uconnect or whatever they call it, even though you bought the game on Steam, you won't get the content you paid for.
The meta-story (the stuff that takes place today) is boring and unnecessary. The battles and ship combat are boring and have no place in an AC game.
Why is there are a real-money store in a fucking single player game? Why should I grind daily or weekly quests for premium currency?

If you get the game for free, it's a good deal. If you buy it during sale for little money, please be aware you don't get the full game and have to purchase big chunks of it seperately.

8/10, wish fast travel system was easier and stealth was rewarded more. Solid game, very grind heavy though.

It’s a good game, I did lots of research and read a bunch of reviews, great graphics and terrains and stuff. Kinda sucks that it doesn’t really have any relevance and ties to the assassins story. But still fun to play and experience

Outstanding graphics game play is excellent. Playing on normal becomes insanely hard after awhile so i switched to easy. I like this 1 better than the 2nd 1. I miss the cards.

After Beating the game and the DLC I can confidently say this game is extremely long, and grindy, but at the same time enjoyable.

For people with older Ubisoft accounts, it can be a nightmare to recover an old account. Due to the mandatory Ubisoft Connect requirement, I can't play the game, and Ubisoft customer services are unable to help. 30 mins of playtime was spent trying to troubleshoot at the Ubisoft Login screen. Ridiculous requirement for a single player game. Refunded.

Positive: The story is great, fighting is amazing (although a few OP stuff like overpowered arrows kinda break the balance) and the world is stunning.

Negative: The leveling is kind of excessive and annoying - I have been stranded a few levels behind my next quest quite a few times and I had to set aside the whole story for the sake of catching up. This broke my immersion more often than not.

Overall, I'd put it at 9/10. If the leveling through random missions wasn't as important and the story wasn't as fragmented, it would've been a clear 10/10. But other than that, the game is very enjoyable.

100% completion review.
Played in 2024.

Gameplay
The gameplay is great. Many points of interest. Very nice to go from area to area. Lots of ground to cover and lots of cultists to hunt. The only downside I have in this game is the amount of mercenaries that come hunting for you. Nevertheless, the parkour feels smooth and is very enjoyable.


Graphics
First of all, the graphics are beautiful. Every point of interest has an amazing touch. Every place you come to feels different and unique. Every sync point you see is stunning. Just overall great.


Dlc's
The DLC content has a nice length. It adds a few hours to the game. Both dlc's are very nice and story rich especially the Atlantis dlc. It is worth buying in a sale.


Overall opinion
I would definitely recommend this game. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is versatile. I enjoyed every hour I spent in this game.

playing as Basim is as easy as playing as Bayek from origins, nice game good playability, enjoy.

Not bad at all, But Where's the Creed?

visually stunning game and good gameplay. The ancient greek world is very large and offers a ton of things to explore, some parts of this game are historically accurate too so i thought that was really cool. My only problems with AC odyssey are that the parkour seems a bit goofy and the enemies take way to many hits to die, Also your horse can be a bit annoying to ride when going uphill. Overall i rate this game 8/10 i enjoyed playing it and actually replayed it twice in a row so i could try both characters. Speaking of them, i do prefer playing with kassandra and having deimos as the antagonist.

This game is very realistic and very fun and i bought it for only $10 So make sure to buy it!

As someone who would usually complain about open world bloat and watered down focus, this game just hits in certain ways. Those are issues for sure, but parts of this game balance the whole experience out in a positive light. The setting is great, various gameplay systems (mercenaries, cultist targets, armor sets to collect) do what they can to keep the journey somewhat fresh throughout, and fun characters bring levity in a time of grimdark renaissance. The story meanders too long (as a product of the whole game design), but at moments it can really tug at heart strings. Combat is skillful and weighty, making the moment to moment gameplay pretty intense on the right difficulty settings. The light RPG elements even make for some build experimentation. Overall, too much of a good thing that never becomes great.

The game is boring... im not afraid of using this sentence, the missions are repeatable,soulsless and arent encouriging. The RPG system is trash, you have to grind a lot of hours just to get ready to push the lore. Dont buy it, find other game and spend your money everywhere else NOT HERE!!!

idk why, I have major issue with the mouse controls. that's something I had happening in Origin and Odyssey for very long years. and it's still not fixed. Since these games are the only ones that have the issue I would guess that's how they're put together. Which is why I refunded this stuff.

Issue is major stutter. Unplayable. where mouse would freeze for like whole second.

HUGE open world with infinite side missions. What can you ask more ?
I absolutely love this game, only downside is that you need a mega computer to play it.

great graphics and story, a lot of agency for the player while still feeling guided

A good 8/10 or 9/10 for me becaise the game has a lot of game replay value even if you don't like achievement hunting this game will keep you occupied for a long while. After you beat the game you have the pleasure of new game + and that ups the difficulty a tad bit.. no real problems with it though on my side. I only played as Alexios, I never gave the Sister a chance lol. Story was a real pleasure to do and will replay through it sometime soon. If they do a remastered version of this game it would be a good game.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The Odyssey to kill boredom

Odyssey is bittersweet. The last great game ubisoft has put out. Great story, enough loot to make a diablo player blush, fun combat, massive open world with something to do on every island you pass by. Seriously, exploring the world in odyssey is probably one of my all time favorite experiences in gaming. Pretty much every game they've released since this one has been a sub par mess. End of an era because the rpg phase of AC is the best but now theyre phasing out, back to the older formula. Love the older games, but nothing tops the rpg ac games. Fun but nothing will top odyssey in my book. Odyssey really is Ubisofts skyrim.

Assassin's Creed. What gamer hasn't heard of the franchise? It's solid. Some of them are better than others, but they're all good. Obviously you're rewarded for patience and choosing your time to use the assassin approach, but it is quite feasible and sometimes necessary to take a more direct approach. Odyssey is a great addition to the franchise. It is expansive with a gorgeous setting, has a fulfilling mix of land and sea, and has lots of good story telling including your choices (or lack of choice) having an impact,

It can become a bit of a grind and repetitive at time. The enemy "AI" can be quite dumb, for example on many fortified areas, you can pick off an enemy, hide the body, and the AI will have another come fill the vacancy - rinse and repeat until you've removed nearly all of the enemy forces with just a little bit of patience and a lot of repetitiveness.

Frankly though, it's generally worth it, as is the Atlantis DLC expansion, and considering I clocked in just under 250 hours, the price point, especially if you pick it up on sale, is most excellent.

It's a great open world, get lost in everything type of game. Graphics are superb. Story is very interesting and has enough real world facts to make ya wonder... but it's just a fun game to sink plenty of hours into. Always something to do.

Welcome to the game where you have to go to Point A to Point B and get this item and give it to a Random NPC. It had Very Boring side characters, the map was interesting to explore the first 20 hours after that felt like a chore. Like idk? You are playing as a Literal immortal person in this game and you need to grab this item and bring it to someone, like cmon is this the best game design mechanic that you managed to think of. Not to mention the 1 Thousand Fortresses and same old boring Conquest Fights, that were in the game. Go and take an item from this Fortress or sometimes switch it up and kill all of the people that were defending the item and than bring it back. Such a disappointment to be honest, the beginning was very strong it hooked me, i really liked the ending of the game too. (I got the best ending from the first time), beat the DLC's as well but they were underwhelming at best, choices do not have any Impact again just like AC Valhalla. The Cult member mechanic where you had to hunt them down across the whole map was interesting, when i found the first 3 Cult Members after that it got so boring, I do not recommend this game and i am giving it a 3/10, the same score I gave to AC Valhalla, it's just the same game like this one with a different name, different character and a different Place, Glad that i got this game and the DLC's on sale. This game tried to be The Witcher 3 and failed miserably. This is what happens when you see a game that you can't replicate like 1% of it, this is what happens when you make a game from Greed. Because the people that actually made The Witcher 3 put some actual care and thought into making the game and to make the world feel alive around you, with NPC's having routines and day and night cycles. Garbage game. Do not waste your time like i wasted mine.

Replaying it and it's aged better than Origins to me. The equipment overload is still a bit tedious (it was one big improvement in Valhalla) but Greece is so gorgeous to play in, and Kassandra a fun protagonist

I know it's not the best AC game, to some it is not even a good AC game. But I am gay, and bad at video games, and that is enough for me.

There are many ways to play, assassin, rambo rpg or a combination of both, you can always choose. The story is good, lots of interesting things to do and explore. Don't be distracted by the complaints that the game is too long or that it no longer has the essence of the assassin game. Just play and feel this game.

This game treats the player like a moron.
Exploration is fun, combat is serviceable: not bad but not good either. The biggest thing against it is how dumbed down the world is: Everyone talks and acts like they were written by toddlers. There was not a single line of believable dialogue in any of the quests I've played. Some characters play some very stupid and unrelated animations during dialogue.
Kassandra\Alexios have the personality of a footmat. Secondary quests feel randomly generated and are devoid of any narrative content.
The mode where the game won't show you map markers for certain quests or treasures has the tendency to narrow down the clues of the location of whatever you're looking for so much that it makes it moot and you might as well have a marker there already.
