    Got this for $10 on Thanksgiving day. And I'm very happy with my purchase. If you love all the other Creed games you will like this as well.

    Odyssey suffers from many of the issues that plagued previous Assassin's Creed titles. There were several times that the character got "stuck" in walls or rocks and you cannot get him out and either have to restart the game or wait for him to die. Character voices overlap one another during conversations. Many of the missions feel repetitive. Battles with some legendary animals are much harder than their level indicates and other animals are constantly attacking when trying to beat a legendary animal. Most battles with captains result in Mercenaries joining in to make the fights nearly impossible. Otherwise, the gameplay is fun though the new controls for battles are a little complicated compared to previous titles. Scenes and backgrounds are beautifully rendered. Map is huge and there's a lot of things to do. You'll definitely get your money's worth out of Odyssey.

    One of the first things about this game is the graphics. It's beautiful. If you run it on the XBox One X, take some time to look up your TV's specs to dial the visual settings in just right when you first set up the game. It's worth it. The story is engaging, especially if you're already into ancient Greek history. The map is MASSIVE. The skill tree is nothing special, but it is useful for adapting gameplay to your play style. If you're not super into grinding and just want to get through the story, this installment is probably not a great pick. There is a lot of level grinding just to get through the main story. Ubisoft has options to purchase additional time savers, which can make things like crafting and leveling faster and easier. That sort of adds a pay-to-win element to the game, though. I know some people aren't fans of that model, but it really doesn't detract from the rest of the gameplay if you're able to pick it it back up from time to time and grind it out. All in all, this is a really fun game to play that looks great and stays true to the last installment.

    The graphics are fantastic, I've only just started the epic adventure which they say has over 100 hours of play. I can't compare it to the other assassin Creeds games, but so far it's really a lot of fun and I'm enjoying it. I think for someone who's never play these games, they'll enjoy it and for those who season that's in the Assassin Creed games, this is likely right up their alley. Seeing that the games on sale or clearance, I was able to pick it up for under $20 and I think it was money well spent.

    Get this game if you like Ac series or if you just enjoy large open world games period! I don’t usual ever leave game reviews but this one is exceptional the game is executed really well the exportable area is massive would literally take you hours just to uncover any unexplored areas ... graphics and attention to detail and just mass amounts of content to keep you busy and get you completed sucked into advancing up the mercenary ranks... and a good storyline on top of it all ... one of best, captivating games I’ve played in years and I’m not even done with story yet! Lost interest with ac after unity and syndicate but this has resparked it for sure Don’t get this game if you are not interested in spending hours playing at a time!

    The Best AC Game Ever!

    Yes this might be the best AC game ever made. The game has reinvented itself. It is now a action RPG really heavy on the RPG side of things. It has a great main story with a ton of good side quests. Saying the game map is huge would be an understatement. This game will keep you entertained for a good 70 to a 100 hours. Plus good graphics and tight gameplay. 8/10

Cons: bit repetative, world is lack8ng some life, not enough interavtions

    Really awesome graphics. I've played all ac games...with everything after the Ezio series feeling so underwhelming. I gave this one a try since it was on sale for 15. I do not regret it. Lots of improvements over Origins. People have said that it feels grindy, but I find myself fully capable of increasing levels without doing every single fetch type quest. The story is decent. Kassandra is very likeable just like Ezio was. The naval battles have improved, and I don't feel them cumbersome like I did in black flag. My only pet peeve is that the modern storyline is kind of garbage. It has become very convoluted and doesn't seem to make sense anymore. I found the modern day stuff to be unnecessary, and I just wanted to jump back into the old storyline.

    If you're getting this for the Assassin's Creed storyline - don't. If you're getting this for a fun game to play - then go for it. I'm not a hardcore fan of the Creed games; I played the OG ones, and enjoyed them, but lost interest in the series until now. The game is glitchy, yes, and the loading screens (during fast travel, and after dying, and loading your game) can be slow, but honestly the glitches aren't bad enough to keep me from enjoying the game. The combat is smooth and enjoyable (the Spartan kick is especially fun to do - I like Spartan kicking bad guys off their ships), and you can climb just about everything. Also, the Greek island setting is quite lovely and colorful, and Greek history is very interesting to learn about. So, over all, as a stand alone game, it's fun to play and Alexios is a precious snowflake that I've unitnentionally turned in to a bit of a playboy. As an Assassin's Creed game, it doesn't seem to really relate to the other games much at all, but that means that you can play it even if you haven't been following the series.

    If you enjoyed AC origins, you will really enjoy Odyssey. Assassins Cred Odyssey expands on the new style AC game and adds even more features. The new fighting style of Origins is continued and expanded in Odyssey. Allowing players to choose from three branches (Hunter, Warrior, Assassin) or a mix of the 3. The story allows you to choose the main antagonist from the brother and sister duo or Kassandra or Alexios as you travel throughout a huge ancient Greece world. New features to the franchise include the Mercenary system, the Occult as well as ships. All three expand on the good foundation of what Origins brought. If you like the Origins concept this game is for you. Beware though it is a different game type then traditional AC games. Similar games in terms of play style would be action RPGs such as AC Origins and Dragon Age Inquisition. Unisoft continues to support the game with a huge update (1.1) dropping 11/29 as well as DLC throughout 2019. Overall this is on my top 5 list for game of the year 2018.

    This game is amazing and freaking HUGE! There is so much content, always something to do, explore and delve. The ship battles are amazing and very nostalgic to the thrill of those found in Black Flag. The bounty hunters that hunt you in the world are similar to that of those found in the Shadow of War series. The story driven narrative and choices that bare consequence is that of the Witcher. If you're a fan of any of these games then you're definitely going to enjoy this one. I will admit, it does all these things well but it's these traits aren't as good as the ones that emphasized it. The game comes off as a jack of all trades but a master at none. That being said it's not like it does any of them badly. They're just not perfect as the. With so much content and so much to do there is definitely something here for everyone, highly recommend this game and it well deserves a 5 star rating.

    I bought this game a few months ago for $20.00 on sale and it is the best 20 bucks I have spent in some time. I will not be able to leave a review as long and detailed as I want so not to contain any spoilers, but this game is AWESOME. Warning, if you are a huge fan of the early Assassin's Creed games and that is your ideal play style this game might not be exactly what you are looking for. However, if you are a fan of open world RPG's that require some grinding but don't get too repetitive or boring, then you will love this game. This game has an open world that is one of, if not the most beautiful world I have ever explored in a console game. It is not just huge for the sake of being huge, there are tons of things to do within the world. You can climb the peaks of just about any structure in the game (for some reason you can't climb trees) and you can swim to the bottom of the sea and navigate your way through different caves, shipwrecks etc. The combat is addictive and fun. As you progress (level up) you will gain experience points that you can spend on different traits, styles of battle (ranged, stealth, warrior) so there are tons of different moves, skills that you can learn. Therefore you can customize your player to fight to whatever style is best for you. There are also numerous different types of weapons with different strengths/weaknesses and awesome animations that also play a part in your style of battle. There are infinite mercenaries (much stronger enemies than most) that will chase you throughout the game if you have a bounty on you or that you can chase down throughout the game to collect one on them. They all drop special gear that you can equip or break down for materials to upgrade weapons that you prefer to use. There are around 20 or so legendary armor sets in the game that you get from completing objectives or finding in the game world. There are dozens of legendary weapons as well. You can earn special stat bonus' from completing tasks (slayer deed, kill 100 of this or that etc.) or from actually obtaining a weapon i.e. when you collect Poseidon's Trident you can engrave (add) the ability to breathe under water to the weapon you prefer to use if you want. Without going into too much detail. you will go on a long, eventful, non-linear open world journey in which your choices throughout the game will determine the outcome of the story. There are hundreds of locations with unique objectives to fulfill all of which reap rewards of some sort. You will find yourself hunting legendary animals, mythological creatures, cult members, etc. You also get a ship that doubles as a home (fast travel and storage) for naval battles that you can upgrade and recruit enemies or friends throughout the game world to join as lieutenants (all of which have unique naval battle upgrades). I played this game for over 220 hours, I am still not completely done with everything, there are still daily and weekly quests to do as even after all of the main content and DLC is done, there are randomly generated bounties and other objectives that I believe is infinite. There are so many stats, deeds, quests, skills, weapons, armor sets which enable you to fine tune the game that this is heaven on earth for an open world RPG fan. There is an arena you can fast travel to after you discover it to partake in hand to hand combat against some of the stronger enemies in the game for special rewards. There are around 100 fast track landmarks that you can discover. Many of them are very realistic reproductions of real landmarks in Ancient Greece. Many of them lead you to being perched atop some of the highest natural points in the game with some breathtaking views. You will move across the map as the story progresses and weaken different regions within the game world until you trigger a conquest battle (battle of 300) or you will trigger a naval battle. You will be helping either the Spartans or Athenians gain control of certain regions in another seemingly endless objective that will continue to advance with or without you. I NEVER ONCE GOT BORED playing this game! Obviously, I would recommend this game to others. :) Pick it up on Black Friday or on sale for 20-25 dollars (there is also some awesome DLC that goes on sale quite often that would require another couple paragraphs by me to do justice to.)

    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.
