Assassin's Creed Odyssey

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

So big The Witcher 3 wants a rest. This is an epic told with flair, coupled with one of the liveliest open worlds on PlayStation 4. Odyssey is not just the best Assassin’s Creed in years, but one of the finest action RPGs you’ll play. [Issue#155, p.72]

The world of Odyssey is the most versatile and fun yet in Assassin's Creed, offering distinctive storytelling, great variety of combat gameplay and exciting exploration.

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.

Fans who arrive at Odyssey expecting the Assassin’s Creed experience they grew up with may be disappointed or confused, but gamers ready for a new era for the franchise should plan to be overwhelmed with opportunity.

Odyssey is no doubt the biggest game in the Assassin's Creed series, and could easily be considered the best one. Unfortunately the efforts to reshape an action game into an RPG were only partially successful. Ubisoft already checked off everything from a great atmosphere and a gigantic map to some cool gameplay mechanics, but narration and moral choices still do not deliver - Witcher 3 is still miles ahead.

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.

Goat 2018, sarò esagerato, sarò troppo fissato con la Grecia dell'antichità, ma questo gioco è uno dei migliori della saga

This game doesn't fit the Assassin's Creed franchise. Feels like a heavily AC-themed RPG game. It's a good game, just a bad series entry. Would recommend.

Le jeu Assassin's Creed Odyssey propose une Grèce antique magnifique, avec un monde immense et visuellement très réussi. L’exploration est agréable et certains paysages donnent vraiment une sensation d’aventure. Cependant, le jeu s’éloigne énormément de l’identité originale de la licence Assassin’s Creed. Le côté infiltration et assassinat passe souvent au second plan au profit d’un RPG beaucoup plus orienté action et farm. L’histoire est la plus mauvaise de la licence, et le jeu souffre surtout d’une map beaucoup trop grande et d’activités répétitives qui finissent rapidement par rendre l’aventure longue et fatigante. Certaines quêtes donnent également une impression de remplissage inutile. Même si le gameplay peut rester amusant et que l’univers grec est réussi, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey peine à retrouver ce qui faisait le charme des anciens épisodes.

The first AC game I ever played. Didn't think it was too bad back then but after playing many of the older AC games and looking at it more closely odyssey is one of the worst in the franchise. Mediocre story and characters. Repetitive hack and slash gameplay with crazy fantasy abilities which is a far cry from the more grounded, realistic and brutal combat of older games not to mention many of the mechanics from previous games like the hidden blade being completely removed from this game. A world so massive but also so empty at the same time. They picked quantity over quality with this one. The game just doesn't feel like assassins creed, you're not even an assassin in it. As an open world game it doesn't feel immersive or alive like other much better open worlds. Honestly don't understand why some people defend this game. Just a grindy, repetitive, unbalanced mess with nothing to really redeem it. Honestly the best way to describe it is as wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. At least the graphics and the music are good I suppose.
