Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

How is anyone actually playing this game? Ubisoft connect launches but I can't add the game, there's no link for Steam (literally every other platform), the exe won't boot and trying to launch the game from Steam just stops after about 5 seconds. lol how is anyone playing this right now??

Thank you, Ubisoft, for saving me from continuing Assassin's Creed Odyssey with an infinite loading screen right after The Cult of Kosmos quest. I truly appreciate being excused from finishing this game.

Anyway, I wasn’t enjoying it much before that either. Despite several attempts to fix the bug (and yes, I searched a lot), nothing worked. Turns out, many players on Reddit have run into the same issue so it’s not just me.

Between the embarrassing parkour, the heavily distorted "historical" setting, and the awful combat system, this bug is just the final medieval nail in the coffin. For a major publisher like Ubisoft, this level of quality is honestly shameful.

I 100 % recommend this game, not only is it addicting but also has some plot twists. The dialogue had my laugh from how hilarious they can be. For the epic the musical fans and gamers, you will adore this game!

Game feels like shit to play. Your character is almost completely unresponsive. Inputs routinely wont register which leads your character to getting fucked over when trying to dodge, run, or maneuver around. Half the time you go to use an ability it just wont activate leading to you have to spam the damn key 10+ times to get it to respond. It could've been such a good game if you had any fucking control over you character.

It's so fucking annoying that inputs will just stop registering especially during fights. Imagine not being able to do anything because the game just doesn't register inputs for multiple seconds at a time.

Don't even get me started on the jankass parkour/movement system. Half the time I try to vault over a small fuckin table in combat it wont work, dodging rarely works, and the game is just a buggy fucking mess. Another UbiSHIT tier product. It's so disappointing that ubisoft only hires shit tier devs.

In addition, parrying can glitch out leading to you doing the animation but still taking damage. If you run next to anything be prepared to vault over it or start fukcing climbing. God its just so fucking stupid.

It is definitely, not an AC Game. I mean, you play the whole game without seeing any AC stuff. The expansion content and some side quests actually have something related to what we expect from an AC, in my opinion, was a big mistake not to include this content in the main story

Though it might not be a good AC game, It's a decent RPG, but it could’ve been better.

This game is so aggressively bloated mediocrity it's beyond me. I came back to AC franchise after AC4 Black Flag and boy oh boy I am done. Despite absolutely loving Greek mythology, I just can't force myself to keep playing. Like 90% of the game feels like bloated fodder. Dozens of loot drops, 99% of which is pointless. Insanely repetitive content, half of the mechanics feel like nothing would happen if they just gotten removed from the game. Oof. Not for me.

A pretty map isn't enough to make a good game, and this one is awful.

Gameplay:

A pretty map and a map conquet, I was very optimistic when I started the game, but gradually the disappointment turned to disgust.
Conquering the map is just an illusion. It's part of the scenery, has no influence on the game and is totally useless, as the map randomly switches to other side control at any time.
The gameplay is incredibly repetitive.
The devs are proposing a game that requires over 100 hours of play to reach the end, but has no more than 2 hours of gameplay.
Everything has to be repeated over and over again until you're totally disgusted with the game.
Always the same enemies, the same stories, the same quests. Enemies who are always either stupid and weak, or cheaters like hell.
The story starts off very well, if you ignore the stupid and pointless science fiction opening.
Then everything's pleasant until science fiction comes back with temples straight out of mass effect or horizon.
Everything is not lifelike, ok... If it's drawn from Greek mythology, that's fine with me, but fake alien temples, no!
In the end, the story is ruined by cliched, obvious content.
Tired of the pitiful gameplay after 60 hours of play, I wanted to rush to the end and destroy the cult, but playing hide and seek with untraceable clues put an end to my suffering on this shitty game. I'm disgusted to have wasted 72 hours of my life playing this shitty game.

Ideas but no creativity and no talent. It's not even a surprise anymore with Ubisoft, it's becoming so usual.

assassins creed odyssey is definitely not a good game but its fun atleast for one playthrough

The game is basically a skin of Origins, just like Valhalla and Shadows. That being said, main story is quite boring, but then if you are into Greek mythology you can have fun exploring ancient Greece and hunting down some creatures. Plus Alexios is the most handsome character ever created in a videogame.

I got the game for 12 bucks on sale and it's worth it for that price, but maybe only if you haven't played another modern AC game in a while, for they are too big and repetitive. Just for reference: I liked Origins (Ancient Egypt freak) and never finished Valhalla.

Playing on Steam, the game itself is decent - good graphics, okay story, rather entertaining. The AI is remarkably dumb, making many kills easy while your target just stands there or keeps coming back to the same trap over and over again. What's really problematic with this game is that it very regularly won't start giving an Ubisoft Connect message of "This product cannot be activated right now, please try again later." With the passage of time, it always works, but I want to play when I want to play ... not when Ubisoft decides to let me connect.

Ironically, comparing Assassin's Creed Odyssey to its predecessor Assassin's Creed Origins is like comparing Imperial Rome to Classical Greece: it's a lot bigger, but unfortunately also a lot dumber. Origins had a well written main character in Bayek whose mission was to hunt down the people who murdered his son. Odyssey has a nothing main character who goes on a mission to do nothing and accomplish nothing. At the end of the game, nothing happens.

Odyssey is way too big and lacks focus in just about every area. It feels like a technical display of the power of Ubisoft's engine more than anything else. For a game that takes 60-80 hours to complete, I barely remember anything about it. I didn't even get that far; after 50 hours I am bored and burned out.

Technically, performance is not great in towns and cities. It dips and stutters. The game also crashes constantly. Not completely unplayable but every 2-3 hours which is unacceptable.

I like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and I appreciate that all of its shortcomings came from a place of ambition. The series has never had a bigger, more detailed, more customizable game. But its size can feel daunting, its plot can feel confusing, and its open-endedness can feel aimless. What Odyssey has gained in scope, it's lost in focus.

Still, there's no denying that there is a meaty, well-made game at the center of all this, complete with just about everything that fans have loved about previous entries. Stealth, exploration, even naval combat — it's all here, and it's all more refined than before.

I don't know if Assassin's Creed Odyssey will last throughout the ages, like a Homeric poem. But I do know that it's a pleasant companion for a lazy weeknight, like a moderately priced bottle of Greek wine. If you've already played Origins and its DLC, this is your next logical stop.

I love this game. It bums me out that I will never get to experience playing this game for the first time ever again.

You kill cyclopses, you kill minotaurs, you slay kings and gods, but in the main quest, I’m running around doing errands to get OIL just so that person can talk to me? The quest design is a complete MALAKA

-the atmosphere and environment were so immersive that there were moments when I forgot to actually play. I recommend playing it, if we exclude the side quests.

First of all, I haven't finished the game and don't even know how far I've gotten. So if that would disqualify my "review" in your eyes, feel free to ignore what I write after this.

I've never been into AC games and I don't really know why of them all I only wanted to try this one. I thought it looked beautiful visually, I'm a fan of RPGs and I just liked Kassandra's character. I've played this game a lot these past few days and I can say that it was pretty decent, I had fun and the gameplay loop was kind of addictive... But the good parts of it only reminded me of games that had the exact same parts, only more expansive and better in every way. The mercenary system would be the best example. It's clearly inspired by Nemesis system from "middle earth: shadow of..." series and it's great that they attempted to do something inspired by it because nemesis system is awesome. It's just that, like with other things I liked about this game, these systems just aren't good enough to carry the game, especially when there's games that are built on those(shadow is war is build for and from nemesis system),
The gameplay of this game is decent, but yet again I keep comparing it to shadow of war in my head(and the combat of that game is way more fun), the assassin/stealth and parkour stuff I've never been into so I wouldn't know how good or bad it was, I could only say that I thought it was decent (but when I had to run away/retreat quickly, I would often get stuck climbing or if I had used lock-on on someone, I couldn't jump down from anywhere without removing the lock-on, which is difficult to while being attacked from all sides), the rpg elements, I'm not sure how good they are. I'm used to seeing damage numbers and gear stats, but I didn't like the equipment that much in this game. Not a single peace of equipment felt special, even the legendary gear felt quite disappointing... The skill tree and the abilities were pretty good. I especially liked "This is Sparta!" kick, it was fun and useful in more ways than one, there were a few others I really liked, but I haven't explored the skill trees fully, so I couldn't say much about upper-rank abilities. I'm very disorganised, so I'll just say what I want in a weird order: this game looks very beautiful. I've never been to Greece so I wouldn't know how similar it is, but the landscapes in game are very colourful and grand in scale. I think that this "scale" was what they were going for. A land and time period with gods, heroes, legendary creatures... The idea seems great, but the execution... not so much. I liked exploration and I like doing quests. And there's a lot of both, so it should be great, shouldn't it? The problem is that there's so much of those that they are washed down. I've done a lot of quests in my time with the game and not a single one gripped me. At best there were few that were almost interesting. And both the NPCs that gave them and the NPCs that would be the villains in those quests were so unbelievably generic that doing those quests felt meaningless. I still like Kassandra and I'm somewhat interested in the main story and the "cult of cosmos"... But I just decided that I don't really want to continue. I could, technically, this game has a lot of addictive qualities, just the problem is that while it has a lot of content, there's barely any substance in it. I could finish this game, I could reach max level, hunt down all cult members, become rank 1 mercenary... But there's just no point. I realised that I got no satisfaction from doing anything in this game and there's just nothing good or interesting enough to keep me playing. I would give it 7/10. Try out if you're like how the game looks, like the combat, like Kassandra... Or don't. There's few other good things about the game that I haven't mentioned, but there's a good chance that if you like RPGs, grinding and just want something that you could play for a while... There's a chance that you might like it. It's just that for me, I didn't find the good parts strong enough to keep me and those good parts being in other games, just makes me want to play those instead.

The last good assassins creed title. But it's not really an assassins creed as much as it is a witcher 3 inspired, ancient greek set, open world RPG with an assassins creed label slapped onto it. Alexios is a cool character with Ezio vibes and the different gear you can equip yourself with, as well as the cosmetic options for gear are nice and the combat is fun. If you want an authentic assassins creed experience go play AC2, AC brotherhood or AC Black flag, but if you want a cool open world RPG that focuses on leveling for you and enemies, try this one out.

Why the hell can I not launch this single player game while I have no internet?
I get a little popup from Ubisoft saying it can't "synchronise achievements" ... this game is 7 years old now, who cares?
Who cared on launch? It's stupid

If you are into medieval/fantasy games this game is perfect for you. Atmosphere in this game is insane. Odyssey portrays the ancient Greece very well. It's like living in those times. Combat is not too complex but it is really enjoyable. Story is great as well. I highly recommend DLCs, especially Fate of Atlantis. Honestly, this game is the best modern AC for me

It's a fun game, perhaps the best out of the RPG AC series, but is plagued with performance issues like frame rate drop at a consistent rate. If any game needed FSR or DLSS support, it'd be this one right here, cuz a 3060 shouldn't be struggling to give at least 60fps in 2025.

I bought this game because a friend recommended it and it happened to be on sale. I've played AC games before (2, Revelations and Black Flag) and enjoyed them. I really like games with a rich story and consequential decision making, and oh boy does this game deliver. If your average AAA title is a 3 course meal, this game is a 72 hour all you can eat buffet. The story is deep and engaging throughout, the world is beautiful and unique, and it's very difficult to notice asset reuse where as with other games it can take you out of it sometimes. They did a good job balancing multiple main story arcs, as well as having sailing and ground travel both feel fully developed. It is different from other AC games because of the open world RPG nature and lack of puzzles, but it still feels like part of the series. I find you can have fun in both stealth and full combat play styles. This game has earned a spot in my lifetime top 10.

AC Odyssey is a wild ride huge world , badass combat , and that Spartan kick never gets old. One moment you're exploring ruins, next you're yeeting a dude off a cliff 🏛️🔥.

Fun fact: You’re the monster, and Greece is just trying to survive.

i have not played assassins creed since the original games and i played small amounts of brotherhood and black flag. This game is fantastic if you have not played AC for a while or if you have any love of Greek empire or Greek mythology. Its fantastic all around. If you get it on sale its worth it 100x over.

Very few games in my life have i been able to play 100 hours in 2-weeks. its been that good for me, the visuals are fabulous they bring a real life feel when playing in high detail its truly fantastic.

the only negative i think the game has is some copy pasting once you hit level 50 the camps start to feel very repetitive. there is also some graphical texture issues in certain parts of the map. it just looks poor or repetitive. if there was more time into the development of these camps and other similar quests or cave explorations this game would have been out of this world. Besides that i found this game truly fantastic and i look forward to trying Valhalla as i got it on sale as well. honestly i would give it a 9/10 very satisfied

I played it in 2018. game was running great on high settings 60-70fps 1440p GTX1080ti.
I played all ac games except "Shadow and Mirage" and for me personally my second fav ac game.
Great story with great voice acting and beautiful world.
10/10

AC Odyssey is huge. Like, absurdly huge. Ancient Greece looks amazing, combat is fun, and those who love collecting, you never will collect everything.

But just when you think you’re done, the Atlantis DLC hits you with another 30+ hours of gods, mythological creatures, and questioning if you accidentally started a whole new game.

100% achievements done, would start up New Game + up too.

PROS:
- graphics and animation
- low hw requirements
- very stable
- beautiful world graphics design - each frame can be used as wallpaper on you desktop


CONS:
- level/grind wall - they force you to buy XP boost
- boring dialogues, quests
- mess story
- disrespect to player's time

This game is a great RPG Combat game, but not a great Assassin's creed game.
if someone asked me what makes a great Assassin's creed game, it's the parkour AND the assassinations.
the fact that they've done a way with the Assassination mechanics baffles me.
instead of being able to assassinate anyone from behind or a hiding spot, the game WANTS me to get into combat with every enemy.
ya wanna assassinate someone? gotta unlock it at the very end of the skill tree, and make sure your damage numbers are high enough to actually do so. i don't mind certain enemies like bosses being tougher to kill. i do mind if every enemy needs to be turned into a full blown fight. the game is long enough as it is, as the world is MASSIVE and there are a ton of exploration missions to do, and secrets to find.
if you want a decent RPG game, this is your game. if you want an Assassin's Creed game, best i can say is to overlevel yourself until you 1shot anything and everything by default. otherwise, you're outta luck.

Fun game by itself, wouldn't say a good Assassin's Creed game though, has a big map to explore but sometimes the filler in the story can be a little tiring, you'll find the person you need only to get 3 quests and then when you do them you find the thing you need but then you need to do 2 more quests, this really only became noticeable for me at least in the final few missions though

For running around as a mercenary and exploring ancient Greece, this is great! If you like Greek history or are an architecture nerd, this is great. For simple and mindless gameplay where you just want to murder some bad guys, this is great.
If you are looking for a good story, this is extremely mid and gets very repetitive.

This game has everything
- an excellent and compelling story line
- one of the most detailed and beautiful worlds,
- excellent war mechanics,
- loads of weapon choices.
- engaging rpg world
- flashy combat
- mythical creatures
- ship battles
- choices and consequences

This is one of my favourite games i have ever played.
Make sure you play as kassandra cos the voice actress nails every line perfectly.

also the first blade dlc is also an excellent addition and ties this game to AC franchise .

This game is shockingly good. This is the first Assassin's creed game I've played and so my base reference for how good they were was basically people making fun of Ubisoft. So I absolutely did not anticipate just how obsessed I would become with it. Ancient Greece has become one of my favorite settings of all time, to the point where I've started reading Herodotus, as well as the odyssey and illiad by Homer.

The beauty of the open world really shocked me. While playing I would occasionally be stunned by a vista and just stand there for a while absorbing it. Mykonos especially with its clear blue waters and star lit nights was breathtaking.

As for the story: Kassandra has become one of my favorite protagonists. She has a great personality and it works really well with the cast of historic characters you interact with. If anything I wish it was a little more like a bioware RPG where you got to interact with more of you crew over the course of a game.

It's definitely not a perfect game, there are places where the limited time and budget break the illusion of being in classical greece. Repeated wall mural textures, boring AF randomly generated NPC missions, a lot of copy pasted military bases. I really wish it had been given an extra year of dev time to make it really shine.

Still, what's here is great and is the best way to experience the world of ancient Greece. The setting does a lot of heavy lifting and elevates it above a standard open world ARPG and into something memorable and unique.

Highly recommend especially since it goes on sale for 15$ or less

This has to be one of my Fav AC games from the setting to the world there is so much here to enjoy.

Pros -
Great sound track
Great Aesthetics
Not bad combat
Cool story
Decent Expacs

Cons -
Some can find travel too long
Some enemies feel bloated (HP/Attack wise.)
Combat can become very easy once you have certain upgrades and armour sets
Small side quest bloat (Some feel just there to be there and don't add to anything.)
Janky parkour that can sometimes get you stuck.

Finishing notes -
This is still a fav for me and always will be some say the map is too big but i love it and loved exploring the areas and journey it presented in the greek world. If you're on the fence buy during a sale.

A decent rpg
I liked the Spartan kick ability a lot.
Nothing to do with the assassins (which are mentioned in game's title)
Too much grinding to progress in the story
Missed opportunity to include Kratos :(
7/10

Incredibly addicting. If I ever get amnesia, first thing I'm doing is playing this game from the beginning. I'm very picky with my games and don't tend to enjoy lore-heavy games but the story had me hooked from the beginning. Combat, graphics, story, everything is just amazing. I bought the two DLCs after about 140 hours because I didn't want the game to end.

So... I think this is their masterpiece. I continually return to replay this game (as you can see from the hours on my profile).

An amazing - staggering - open world, vibrant and seemingly never-ending. Night and day cycles and the world sparkles and fades - dawn and dusk are particularly beautiful. The research and attention to detail is incredible. History, myth, legend, all wrapped up in an adventure - the combat is great, the ship combat and mechanics are great - I really can't praise this game enough. Kassandra is my *all time* favourite character to play as. There may be some bugs and glitches, possibly some gameplay annoyances, but these are nothing when you're immersed in the world and the story. Btw, I really don't need my graphics to be better than this. Stunning.

I put over 100 hours in this game on the ps5 and playing it again on steam. Best assassin's creed game in terms of gameplay and top 3 for story. I usually don't like grindy games but this one is so good that it didnt bother me.

Most clueless game ever , so much grind , super long that makes you forget the main story , enjoyable at the beginning, but once the actions start to repeat that is when the curse begins to kick , be aware of achievements they start so early in the game
END THE GOAT WITH THE OBSIDIAN EYE IMMEDIATELY

Rating: 9.5/10. I'm 60 hours into the game, my character is level 17 out of 50, and I have a TON more to play before I'm finished because this is a HUGE game! However I've played enough to know that I absolutely love this game - the gigantic world of ancient Greece is represented in an astonishingly beautiful environment, the adventure is fun to play, the story is interesting, decisions seem to have consequences, and there is enough leveling up of character and gear to be fun without being overwhelming. The only slight knock against an otherwise perfect game is that the actions the player does feel repetitive at times, but the ever-changing environments and the progressing story keep it from getting boring in any way.

Great game, sadly the audio is bugged quite often.

i first liked the game but then it just became very repetitive and felt like i need to finish chores... it got very fustrating which is sad. Also going to athens was a big dissapointment in aesthetic.

The last good Ubisoft game, definitely the last good AC. 10/10 you can transmog armor into oiledf up with a lion cloth

does not feel like a AC game whatsoever, story feels rushed and at times dosen't make much sense it would've had the potential to be a good ancient greece RPG if it wasn't part of the Assassins creed series and if the developpers spent more time on the story. if you wanna play a game about ancient greece and have a lot of heavy combat then i defenetly reccomend it however if you're expecting this game to feel like an Assassins creed game with stealth kills you will most defenitely be disapointed

Ubisoft Connect server issues = you can't play a singleplayer game?

can't wait for you to file for bankruptcy

This game is massive, gorgeous, and straight-up addicting. You dive into Ancient Greece, climbing statues, fighting mercenaries, and yeeting enemies off cliffs with the legendary Spartan kick.

Combat? Brutal and satisfying. Story? Full of drama, betrayal, and mythical beasts. The world feels alive. Plus, naval battles are back, so expect plenty of ship-smashing chaos.

Sure, there’s some grind, but when you’re sending enemies flying in slow motion, who cares? If you love open-world RPGs, play this game.

This is the best Assasin Creed series game that I played. And I played almost all of them. Amazing graphics, huge map and great story is super captivating. And it’s fun to play even if you are not gaming pro!

Started off well, but became pretty boring and did not really enjoy my time with it in the end. In the first 10 hours everything was novel, but the gameplay did not evolve as I went further in and in the end I was just grazing off points of interests and boring, repetitive quest to get to the next drop of generic loot.

The story was OK until is started shifting to the present, which was a huge immersion-breaker, I didn't care about these characters one bit.

At one moment, when I looked at the map and saw how much more there was to check off I just said nope and uninstalled it. It's currently super cheap and if you don't mind repetitive gameplay for dozens of hours, give it a try when it's discounted. Don't think I'll touch an AC game again.

Over +400 Hours Played. Bought the Ultimate Edition AGAIN this time on steam start and finish off my 4th playthrough!

I’ve spent over 400 hours in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and I’m back for more! Bought the Ultimate Edition years later again while having it purchased and played over Ubisoft's launcher. I STILL can’t get enough of this game! The sheer size of the open ancient greece lands & islands, the Rich Lore, Mythologies, Runes, Monuments and The overal setting in Ancient Greece is just absolutely breathtaking! I've easily sunk my hours just by exploring whether its the landscapes, climbing the Acropolis, or sailing across the Aegean Sea. There’s always been something new to discover on each of my playthroughs!

The story & the characters are fantastic! There are so many different paths and choices to make that each playthrough feel unique!

You can tailor your character's abilities to your preferred playstyle too whether you want to stealth your way with assassinations or archery, or pretty much going full-on Spartan warrior mode!

The side quests are pretty abundant, although some of them can feel repetitive, there’s enough variety and storytelling in them that just makes it worthwhile! The DLCs also add a crazy amount of content! Characters, weapons, armors, dimensions that which really expand the lore!

If you enjoy open-world RPGs and haven’t played Odyssey yet, I couldn't recommend this game enough!

this is the true origin of the assassin’s universe, and it’s a shame it came after a game actually called origins
what’s new and different here from the previous entry are combat abilities (which you max out fairly quickly) and the expanded naval combat (which gets boring almost immediately)
dialogue choices are just a gimmick, there are only a handful of times they actually affect anything, and the notoriety system is nothing more than a meaningless nuisance
then there are the ““big”” battles, which are painfully monotonous, unrewarding and easily skippable if you’re not a completionist
missions in general are in abundance here, and while the main storyline, epilogue and some side content are written fairly well, gameplay wise youll find yourself doing three or four types of activities for the entire 100+ hours
also a shame that they made one point in the story so disgustingly forced and out of place for the protagonist (legacy dlc), to this day i cant decide if its more infuriating or ridiculous
Kassandra herself has an amazing charisma and voice and is a polar opposite of her poorly acted edgelord brother, the choice of playable character shouldnt be present here at all
once i was no longer overwhelmed by the amount of looted equipment, the customisation options and perk system are a joy to use; it’s probably the best inventory system between origins and mirage
but when it comes to resource gathering, don’t even approach anything prior to mirage without some sort of inventory editor to avoid the neverending grind
and after discovering that there is no fall damage, i started abusing it, voluntarily killing any immersion, just to save up few seconds of travel
i often wonder if these games have anything worthwhile in them beyond beautiful worlds and genuinely intriguing “present” day stories
