Assassin's Creed Odyssey Reviews
Once again Ubisoft has crafted a living, breathing world in its ancient Greek setting, and it's hard to resist the charms of exploring Greece and its myriad sunlit islands.
A progressive Assassin's Creed saddled with signicficant baggage.
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the largest and most complex game in the series. In terms of scale, structure and possibilities it can be compared with Skyrim, and it's just wonderful.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the turning point for one of the most famous series produced by Ubisoft. Despite a somewhat shallow storyline and a constant sense of déjà-vu due to the evident reuse of assets from its direct predecessor, the metamorphosis in a full-fledged action RPG is successful, assisted by a system of choices and consequences that works well in guaranteeing tangible repercussions in the world. Now we can't wait to find out how the series will evolve.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey, for better or worse, feels like a palette swap of Origins.
A glorious sum of newly implemented RPG systems, refined traditional series beats and boasting one of the most entertaining stories in recent memory, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is simply the best in the series and one of the finest open-world adventures available.
Not since Breath of the Wild have I enjoyed an open world game this much. With so much to see and do, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is one of, it not the best, game in the Assassin's Creed franchise—and absolutely a game of the year contender.
A rich open world to explore, and impressive steps forward from a gameplay and story perspective.
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey follows the natural evolution of the new trilogy by polishing some of its playable mechanics and providing a powerful narrative with one of the best plots in the series. The new combat system with the multiple use of skills and the new character progression where every decision counts, embrace the path of the role games and give it its own identity in a world as massive as it is dinamic.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey builds on the strengths of the excellent Origins while setting you out on an excellent adventure in yet another grand, ancient setting. Bugs and glitches are a bit too commonplace for my tastes and the microtransaction reminders can be annoying, though not too in-your-face. Overall, fun combat, an interesting story and a likable and well-written protagonist (Kassandra, in my case) make Assassin's Creed Odyssey an worthy and addicting addition to the longstanding franchise.
Odyssey is a better, and certainly bigger, Assassin's Creed game than any before it. The sheer number of moving parts can be intimidating but this is a special adventure that must be savoured.
There's plenty of power and glory to be had in Odyssey. This is a vast swords-and-sandals epic that's rendered in the finest of details, and there's little else like it. Seeing it through to conclusion, however, has a major cost: your money or your patience.
I'll still be exploring islands that I haven't touched and meeting NPCs whom I haven't yet met. This big, beautiful, bloated world has no end in sight.
Assassin's Creed in a phenomenal game. Its enormous world plagued with a lot of activities, its interesting story and the increible setting, turns it into one of the most amazing and outstainding open world titles out there and, also, the best entry in the series.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey seems to be the series paroxysm : wider, richer and deeper than every other episode, the game still suffers from repetitiveness. The fascinating manhunt and the real choices will keep most players hooked up for a while, but only those who bought a PS4 Pro or a Xbox One X will benefit form the game's beautiful visuals. If you want to explore this endless greek world inhabited with brilliant minds of their time, you will have to go through more of the same fetch quests the series has dealt with for so long.

Thanks to the decision-making system and the better fights, I'm having even more fun with Odyssey than with Origins.

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.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey lives up to its namesake. By fully investing in becoming an action RPG, Odyssey's characters, combat, story, and scope are beyond anything the series has accomplished so far. Its ambitions might get the better of it sometimes, like in how it divides its story moments or in how the leveling system can get out of hand, but the overall experience is, simply put, epic. Even when the game's pacing hits a speed bump, there are plenty of engaging and rewarding side quests and distractions to keep you busy.
