It's hard to say if you will like this game.

AC : Origins was a pretty okay game to begin with . The game was far from perfect but they have got the game direction right . It was a really pretty game and was still , probably the best A:C game to date ( I like Black Flag but I had more funs in Origin ) . The core of game is still pretty "Ubisoft" ; a vast open world to explore , you get to sneak around , stealing items , killing thugs , sailing ships , engage in open sea combat , getting bounty , killing the bounty hunters , level ups , doing side quest , grinding for upgrades ... etc


Obviously the core of AC : Odyssey has not changed much , since Ubisoft has only got a year to pump out another full fledge , massive open world game .

Although , this time it plays more like an AC version of the Dragon Age RPG game , except without the Dragons and Mages but with Spartans , Minotaurs and Medusa .
Odyssey has 2 playable characters , both female and male (bro&Sis ), several NPC to romance , large amount of dialogue choices , decision and consequence .
While there isn't anything groundbreaking , the addition of RPG element certainly has open new doors of possibilities for the franchise .
They keep all the good stuff from Origins and added in a numbers of improvement from the last game as well .




If the last game bored you to death and you are not exactly a big fan of RPG , then you probably shouldn't be getting it .

The first AC I finished was AC3.
Black flag was ok.
Unity sucks.
Syndicate was my most enjoyable AC experience.
Origin was ok.

I’ll probably get odyssey during sales.

The game has been in development since Syndicate actually, not "1 year" but rather nearly 3 years. There are 2 separate teams in Ubisoft now making AC games. The team that made Syndicate is the team behind Odyssey.

I personally think this is the best AC game since AC2. But it isn't even an "assassin's" game actually.

I really wanna play this! Since it allows you to play as a woman. Syndicate was not bad, but this is Greek! Love the historical setting. But damn Ubisoft games are always so expensive. I think I will wait for sales. sad.gif

Just reached chapter 3, having so much fun with it. biggrin.gif

I still wish their photo mode has more options like Spiderman or Shadow of Tomb Raider though.

Is this game similar to origin? Hated origin (for some reason, the fighting mechanic seem clunky to me) so not sure to pick this up?

the fighting mechanics pretty much similar to Origin, just a few tweaks to fit the spartan theme

Storytelling for AC Odyssey is so much more engaging.

The choice and consequences of your decision makes it so exciting.

You can tell a game is good when your mum walks by and stays on just to see what happens to the outcome of a mission lololol

Sigh and gosh how many people have died due to my decision. 😂

Open world game, ubikayu made - there's definitely a lot of grind and repetitive activities.

Point is, if you space out your activities and don't do the same shit over and over then the game become less of a chore. You STILL have to go through some form of grinding that's for sure.
