Combining some of the best elements of the previous games, with a smooth, fluid fighting style, Odyssey seems to be the shot in the arm the series needed

I was not sure on getting this one after the previous one, origins felt very empty for me (maybe too much sand) but loved the fighting style

I tried Origins, and while I liked the way it played and the new RPG style (though it wasn't perfect, I thought it was a step in the right direction

I really love all the different armor styles that can be found

You're befriended by a local youth who is amazed by your pet eagle...conversations feel far more natural and the setting feels better than Origins which was set up as a straight-up vengeance plot with story elements that served only as a means to an end and not the actual story itself.

(Gladiator combat?)Odyssey's story is as gripping and well set up as Origins, with an equally heart stopping intro that gives drives and emotion to the character

My first assasins creed game, but loving the graphics and movement and fighting.

For any given gaming session, you can either 1) run a bunch of little quests that don't actually feel as horribly repetitive as in Origins, 2) hunt down bad guys for the main quest(s), 3) go fight some pitched battles, 4

Good graphics aren't a selling point - they're expected

The graphics are incredible and the environment is fantastic.

The problem I had with the game is how I didn't really feel like I was playing an Assassin's Creed game until a long way into the game

Oh my gosh THE BEST assassins creed ever made I love the way this game is a rpg and open world fully

This is the best Assassin's Creed game since the Ezio games on the Xbox 360

Cut scenes still take a while to load, but it's not as annoying or frequent as Origins

I much prefer the old combat control system, instead of how it is changed in the last couple of games released by the franchise, especially how it drastically was revamped in Assassin's Creed Origins

While Origins looked great, I couldn't tell you a thing that I remembered about the story

If you loved Origins or even just liked it you will be right at home, but Odyssey takes it further, bigger, and higher in many ways

I have played all the AC games and I liked Origins and hoped that this would be as good.

I expected clunky combat, but its pretty smooth and moving around the terrain with horse or on foot feels great and responsive

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

Combat is different than previous entries in the series, but the changes didn't hurt the game, imo

Combat feels more responsive than ever as well as traversing the environment (it felt occasionally sluggish in Origins).

Which is really sad, as the story is quite good, the setup rather believable, and the quests at least charming if dull and repetitive

Also even though I do love the story and it has kept me invested and interested, I can't help but wish the game was more "mythical"

Every mission after a certain point is the same thing over and over and over and the story isn't good enough to warrant the work it takes to witness.

All in all it's an assassins creed game, tons of content, now seems smoother with some issues resolved and a story I'm loving (although I'm biased, cause ancient greece).

The story isn't that bad, but there's not enough interactions

And the new system of dealing with mercenaries and members of the cult are one of my favorite aspects of the game

I truly hated the ship battles, which I felt was a low point of the otherwise-flawless "Origins" game, but there are those who will probably love that aspect of it

Still has the usuall repetitive aspects

For any given gaming session, you can either 1) run a bunch of little quests that don't actually feel as horribly repetitive as in Origins, 2) hunt down bad guys for the main quest(s), 3) go fight some pitched battles, 4

and I highly recommend it to anyone who loved the sailing aspect of earlier games.

Overall Campaign is interesting and enjoyable, combat is fun and intuitive, world is beautiful, but side quests suffer from lack of depth and story telling

It feels great to see Assassin’s Creed go from a simplistic open world game to a fully fledged roleplaying game like The Witcher

Terrible design decisions to encourage spending real money, bugs, and repetitive gameplay is more than enough reasons to let people know they can pass on this and play any of the other great open world games that has come out recently

The graphics are gorgeous and the world is seamless for the most part

The gameplay and the combat system aren't too bad either, but they could've clearly added fighting combos.-1 star: micro-transactions ruin the game experience

The gameplay and combat is still just as good as it was in Origins although I find myself just picking a particular weapon style I like and using that the whole game, I appreciate the options though

Gameplay was good, decent enough storyline but the more than occasional lag kills it.

Often in RPGs the one more thing is a really great story to go along with the great gameplay

This is a new approach and i like it.

Overall, I like this new approach that AC has taken and I hope they explore other areas

There are also many frame rate hitches, and bad load times.

Character development is sub parAt times the leveling up pace and story don't match up (i.e. you can use the speed of Leonidas but don't actually find out about it until several missions in)Pro:I'm digging the ship/land dynamic (just like I did in Black Flag)I like the armor and engraving bits as wellHonestly, I miss AC3 and the Ezio times

Many times when sneaking up enemies will suddenly turn around right before you can assassinate, turning it into a fight of 8+ enemies.

Overall I think this game is a solid time - it's my first Creed game - and the story isn't anything exciting, but the early twist is fun

If you aren't within 1 or 2 levels of the quest level, you will die or have a far harder time than is necessary

There is also a new mercenary system where if you commit crimes like sinking ships and assassinating people you would have a bounty placed on you and it would increase for each subsequent crime

Will people look at this like a Zelda 2 or a Castlevania 2 or is this a new beginning like Zelda Breath of the Wild

explore endlessly (or just run around assassinating people, really)

Killing people or otherwise committing crimes will get a bounty placed on you, once this happens enough a bounty hunter will come looking for you

I'm a button masher type of guy and this certainly doesn't disappoint when the time comes to take out hordes of bad guys

You guys needed to virtue signal about being multicultural and welcoming to all beliefs

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
