    I picked this up awhile back friends at work were talking about it and it kind of interested me so I decided to get it. I haven't really played much of the ac collection a little bit of the first two and moved on to other things this game though wow, I can't put it down the map is huge so many missions and side quests the story is good there is so much going on with this game. I wasn't initially feeling the Roman setting but it has definitely grown on me. The detail this developer put into the environment and overall history of the time is completely amazing. This game is getting me so excited for vahalla that was just announced. Beware you will spend over 100 hours on this game easy.

    I love the Assassins Creed series and never had a problem with yearly releases and don't care about similarities between the new release and past titles as every entry is beautifully done and gives a window into the culture they are indulging themselves in. I had really wanted an ancient China scenario with some martial arts and was not very excited about a journey to Greece but after playing for 10 hours I will say easily this is graphically the most beautiful in the series and the story is very engaging. More combat focused than previous titles which is a nice change. The RPG element is also a nice addition and the franchise continues to grow and evolve.

    I have played every Assassin’s Creed game since the original came out. This is the best one so far. The weapon and character upgrade system is similar to the Origins game but better. The graphics are great even in 1080p although it is one of the enhanced games. What a fun game!

    I’ve played every AC game available and was very hesitant when Ubisoft released the trailer for Odyssey due to it being hailed as the “best 4K gaming experience” even though Origins had just released less than a year earlier. I picked this up on Black Friday and haven’t been able to switch it out for a different game since. The gameplay is phenomenal and the colors/contrast/overall video quality is amazing. The story is captivating and the RPG element is so flawless you would think that the AC franchise always were RPG. Definitely worth picking up even at full price.

    Really solid entry in the franchise

    Having not played an Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag and the ho-hum Unity, I was a little skeptical when a relative who is a die hard AC fan told me to get this one. I am really glad I listened. The combat and much of the overall gameplay has been overhauled. If memory serves, past AC games ramped up the difficulty by giving you more enemies to deal with and ones with better weapons, but most could be taken down in one stealth attack. Not this one. If they're too far above you in level, you'll only be able to slightly damage them with a stealth attack. There are now several classes of weapons at all ranging from the fast, but weak to the slow, but powerful. There's also a bow. Sailing is back from Black Flag and better, IMO. A nice departure from the past games. The game also has far more sub-games than I remember other entries having. There's now ship improving. mercenaries to hunt, cultists to hunt. engravings to find to improve your gear, the main story, legendary animals to hunt, and conquest battles. All of them yield different rewards to level your character and ship. Makes for a deep and rewarding game to play. Really it's a lot like the Witcher 3, so if you were a fan of that, you'll likely enjoy this game (though I don't think the writing and voice acting is as good in this). The cons are few and not too severe. The game can be a bit repetitive as most of these subgames involve you finding something and fighting it, but then again, what else is there to do? I suppose they could've added non-violent minigames like Witcher 3 had like horse racing, but I'm not left wishing they had. The game, while mostly beautiful does have some of that "jank" that's typical of sprawling open world games, but nothing game breaking so far. I think I was spoiled by Red Dead 2 in that regard and in the regard that the voice acting doesn't live up to the insanely high bar RDR2 also set. Honestly my biggest gripe is that I hate the parry button choice. RB and LB are tough to press together so sometimes when I mean to parry, my character does what either LB or RB do on their own. It's cost me a lot of health. I wish it was Y like it used to be. Ant any rate though, this is a welcome refresh and if you have any interest in ancient Greece and haven't played AC in a long time, i'd say pick it up. Especially if you can get it for $20 like I did.

    Great execution, but RPGs are a specific taste

    I've played every major game in the AC series - it's my favorite game series and I've really enjoyed most of them (Syndicate was stupid). If you're looking for a huge open world game that's been really well done, whether you like the series or not, play this. Really the only downside for me is that they've made it an RPG. The "leveled" weapons, gear, characters etc. are really annoying to me. For a game whose roots are in history and realism (granted with a bit of a sci-fi twist), stabbing someone in the back that you've snuck up on should be a quick kill, not an infinitesimally small bit of damage because they're a "23" and you're a "7". You can CARRY a weapon of a higher level than yourself, but goodness no, you can't USE it, silly! That kind of nonsense grinds my gears. The other RPG thing (new with Odyssey) is the "choose your own dialogue options" bit. I personally don't want to "write my own story", I'm supposed to be living the past generally as it happened, not trying to figure out which option will fail the quest (which can happen, and I don't think they show up again later) and which one will be the most beneficial going forward.

    So AC: Black Flag and AC: Origins were great and before this I though Origins was the best one until this one came along. The game has a great story, graphics, characters, some great voice over work, tons to do, tons of side missions, tons to collect, you can get around on a horse, choose between two characters to play as and has a leveling up system. Needless to say to get everything this game has to offer in terms of completing all missions, collecting all items and fully leveling up, it can take well over 100 hours!!

    I don't think I've ever been so immersed in a game before. Time absolutely flies when I play this and I just get lost in this huge beautiful world that they created. The story has been riveting so far and definitely keeps you interested in wanting to learn more and more. This is the first Assassin's Creed game I've ever played, so it took some time getting used to the gameplay, but it was fairly intuitive and it is super fun to play now.

    AC Odyssey is an excellent action-adventure western RPG within a huge open-world! Main story is pretty interesting, as are many of the side quests all over this game world. You'll be consistently leveling up, battling various enemies, getting better weapons/armor, and improving abilities. The graphics are awesome and the world is beautiful. The inclusion of bits of real-world history is very cool too.

    I’m currently playing the game with 40 hours in and still 45% of the map is still undiscovered. The game gives you the best combat to date and the navel exploration and battles are the best since black flag. The main story is absolutely amazing, truly the best one in the series plus playing a female assassin is a nice change of pace. Got the game when it was $5 a few weeks ago and don’t regret it a bit

    This is the best AC game in the series. From the story where you get to choose who to be to the actual dialogue in the game where your choices have an effect on the future story. If you love RPGs and love to explore an open world while upgrading your gear and destroy enemies, while leveling up, then this is the game for you. You will spend 100+ hours and it never gets old. They even have new game plus now and expansions every month.

    Great visuals, Interesting story and great combat mechanics! My one complaint is it's a little too grindy and monotonous. I wish the side mission were a little more diverse and not just the same thing over and over again.

    Best AC I've Played Yet.

    I stopped playing the AC series years ago because it is usually the exact same game in a different time period or setting and super repetitive. Odyssey seems to take a step in the right direction, while still quite repetitive, the story is inviting and fun, the graphics are good, and I like playing through with Kassandra. My only 2 gripes with this game is that like all AC's, it is extremely long. I've put in over 5 hours into the game so far and I've virtually made no progress. In this case, less would've definitely been more. My second gripe is the combat system. Fresh off of playing the new Spider-Man game, the combat on AC feels super sluggish and clunky. Overall, this is a good game and it will hold me over until RDR2 comes out.

    So many games now suffer from one major flaw, you finish the campaign and you find yourself wondering - was that worth what I paid?! You will not have that question with AC: Odyssey, not at all. The huge open world and tremendous number of side quest will make you wonder, is there an end to this game?!? Add in the historical setting and you have an engaging game that is a great addition to the AC family - in my opinion this game more than makes up for the questionable AC titles of the past. That said, it is not without fault - the most glaring negative is not something that is solely a AC specific issue, or a Ubisoft, the whole - you dropped $60+ on a game now give us more money - I don't mind a worthwhile season pass but the extras, the pay to get a cache of resources, the pay to get a skin that should be available in game, etc. is a bit much. All in all, AC: Odyssey is a gorgeous game (playing on the one x) that is full of gameplay.

    This was my first time playing an AC game, and though it might deviate from the series formula,, it was outstanding. Legitimately comparable to an open world RPG, something like The Witcher 3, albeit with bit less weight given to all your choices. The Ancient Greece setting is stunning and vast, and will provide hours of entertainment.

    Assassins creed is starting to hit its second stride. I haven't enjoyed much of AC since 2 (ezio story). I have tried all since then, but none have held my attention past the first couple hours. Boy did that change with odyessy. This iteration hooks you from the get go. There are an overwhelming amount bt of things to do, and the main story keeps things interesting making you want to push forward.
