Assassin's Creed Odyssey: 6 Years Later…

- Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This game is definitely the most split in terms of fan reception. There's quite a fair amount of people that absolutely despise Assassin's Creed Odyssey purely because well, it's a game that's not exactly traditional Assassin's Creed. However there are also a lot of people, myself included, that quite enjoy this game because it offers something unique and different to the franchise. Yeah this game has nothing to do with what we all love which is of course a story relating to assassins and templars, it's also a complete rpg game, but it's a game that really does give you a different outlook on the pretty rundown franchise that is assassin's creed. So what I want to do in this video is go over and talk about the game from its stunning world, to the story, the characters, the side content and so on. This is Assassin's Creed Odyssey 6 years later.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Hi guys! Happy New Year & Spread Positivity!
Fuck this game.
Fuck this game
100% love this game. Despite finishing the game. I still play it over and over. The visuals, music, and the many quests. Love this game.
God I fucking feel sorry for u. There are many games that are much better than odyssey. Go play those.
Yeees same! I’ve been a fan of the franchise since 2009, but this one is my favourite until now. I think it’s the greek world that works so well. Good weather, beautiful views, chill and funny discussions. I feel like i’m on vacation when i’m playing it haha
@@david-alexandrubitica8417 God u have shit standards for gaming.
takes me right back to 7th grade bro love this game
@@yodaddyrc1220 Yes.. Its a good RPG game and Greek mercenary simulator... not a very good AC game tho...
120 hours in and still plugging in my old PS4 every now and again to play it. One of my favourite games
There are many games that are much much MUCH better than odyssey.
Does that matter? He enjoys the game, there's no need to go for another.
@@LokiSeidrGod Yes, cuz there are objectively better games
@@yodaddyrc1220 dude nobody gives a f*ck,he enjoy the game so leave him alone.
There are better games than ac2,brotherhood,rogue,unity,black flag,they arent the best either.
So respectfully F*ck off
@@yodaddyrc1220 Dude shut up I loved that guys comment. I played Odyessey for the first time on my PS4 and it was awesome. The music the setting everything.
This game got shit on it so hard. Suddenly a bunch of people saying "Actually, it's really good!" I loved it from day one. Became one of my favorite games.
Def it’s because they watch a lot of “influenced” reviews
Valhalla is also pretty good. Very overhated, but the story is all over the place
That's the thing tho: the only people shitting on the game were the self-professed 'fans' of the franchise. Odyssey is one of the best selling (and best reviewed!!) games in the entire series.
It was just a bunch of grown-ass adults throwing fits like children that they were denied another dreadful, underwhelming 'classic' AC experience, when those same grown-ass children had been bashing previous entries that tried to provide specifically that *for years* prior.
@@Disastrayou're delusional.
Answer me this: if the fans ask for AC and you give them this... What did expected? No real parkour, the stupid rpg numbers are back and worse than ever, the story has NOTHING to do with AC and the main characters suck and are bad acted, the combat sucks... What's inside this game that a AC fan could love?
I think it’s a great RPG and good game. But as an assassins creed game I think it should have been a spinoff and not a main title.
Yeah but there is no number on title so it could be spinoff
It’s a terrible rpg too. The fact that they sell xp boosts is proof: the game is so boring that they expect players to be willing to pay to play less of it
@@caoilte8097 they sell it in syndicate too.
@@caoilte8097not really their intentions. Its just cuz ubisoft wants money, so they try to sell everything they can. They also sold shit like this in earlier ac’s
@@caoilte8097So it’s a bad RPG because of a optional XP boost?
I skipped odyssey because of bad review. Then i played vallhalla and end up depressed because of how bloated, repetitive & boring it was. Last year i try play ac odyssey because of discount and omg, this game is actually great. The world is stunning, story quite amazing, and most importantly, it’s not boring!
😂😂
trust your own opinion rather than those others make for you
I knew I was gonna get my money's worth out of this game after spending 8 hours just beating the tutorial.😂
When this game came out, I put 96hrs into it. Beat the story, Cult of Cosmos, Mercenaries, Hades, Medusa, Atlantis. I LOVED it.
Because i haven't found any game thats held my interest recently, i decided to plop in into my PS5 and discovered the New Game+ option. Now im on another Odyssey with my level 73 character. This game is just awesome.
Bruh literally same, I got that lil deal ps5 was having for the + subscription, been grinding it ever since, haven’t beat story yet, but so much to do
my character is level 97. im plugging away to clear everything on the maps.
Maybe horizon Forbidden west is something for you??
Fun fact: Kassandras actor: Melissanthi Mahut, voiced several Greek characters in Orgins, and is Calliope in The Sandman Netflix series
She's an amazing human being. The Bossy type that you befriend and never date.
@@1992zorro get that soy in ya
never finished the game, have been stuck on the main menu vibing to "Legend of the Eagle Bearer" for the last 6 years. 11/10
Although so many people dislike this game, I think its a very good game if you dont think of it as an Assassins Creed game so much. Disregarding, that it is an AC game, it is a really immersive game that lets you explore ancient greece with good graphics, good combat and very stunning locations.
It is a great good but combat could use better work
I would have said its a great game if they didnt put AC as a means to sell it
@@abou_joseph6735yea that was my main problem with it that the leading narrative was a female but I look at it at a different point of view how will a feel do all this wanting revenge on her father an the people that spear lies bout her family
Its still trash regardless
profile picture of a pedophile who went to epsteins island is pretty insane.
Like Valhalla, not much of an Assassin's Creed game but a hell of a period simulation. Great for playing a game through Ancient Greece. Just like Valhalla is great for exploring Anglo-Saxon Britannia as a Norseman. From Eivor's point of view rather than the view of an Assassin. Just like Alexio or Cassandra's view of Ancient Greece.
Odyssey is far better than borehalla
I loved Odyssey but Valhalla was too boring for me. Probably because Greece is a much better place to explore than England.
@@teezy786 the third time Eivor jumped off a rooftop in the starting area in totally the wrong direction I wanted her to I quit that game lol the movement controls were so unwieldy I was like "I can't deal with this." the audio kind of sucked too.
well, both kassandra and eivor arent assassins. they just agree with their views and work with them. so in that context, one can see why they dont do things like an assassin.
@@teezy786Why exactly?
Fantastic that you mention the historical accuracy- theres actually a university that uses AC Odyssey exploration mode as part of their Ancient Greek studies course, the game really is that accurate in its depiction of Greece during the Peloponnesian War. As a student of this time period myself I spent hours just wandering around the different locations breathing it all in. Great video
Wow . This is amazing
valhalla has the same thing. you get to explore everything. not my thing; but welcomed
AC Black Flag and AC Odyssey are for me the best AC games ever
Only just started playing this and it's easily one of the greatest games ever made...the music the ambiance the visuals the time period.. it's making me want to go to Greece
@RS__7 it’s really not that amazing.
odyssey is black flag pt 2 LOL
Great games, for me it’s 1. Odyssey 2. Origins 3 AC3, and 4. AC2. Loved the world RPG AC games, visuals and combat were great!
I credit this as the game that got me back into gaming. one of my favorites of all time. Unparalleled scope and ambition. I play so many games to this day where I wish there was a similar mechanic to the flying bird btw (;
Funny because this game did the same thing for me in 2022. I tried this game for first time after not playing video games for almost a full 2 years and was instantly hooked. I logged about 80 hours on the game in maybe a little over a week.
Kephallonia felt Great probably the best introduction, Islands feel like full societies probably the best intro in a AC game for size and scale.
AC Origins and Valhalla also had that issue where exploring a place before given a quest might mean you have to revisit the same spot to redo it. I guess it's a drawback of the "go anywhere" open world RPG. On replays, I've decided to go do all of the gold-marked quests in an area before exploring every single point of interest on the map, then once I've done that, I'll go and tackle caves, forts, camps, etc. That prevents doing double work.
Honestly most open world game shave that issue
At least origins still got some assassin vibes. Combat and sword impacts are way better than odyssey’s trash combat. Also, AC Origins has the best physics more like realistic in every way compared to this trash. Origins over odyssey all damn day.
@@Ellie-Williams791 ok
At least if you picked up the collectible, Kassandra would say “oh I got that already” and the quest ends.
Thanks for the tip
The game is super underrated and underappreciated!! Definitely and I love! I love as much as assassins creed 3😊
U r right this game is super underrated. I have 80 hours in it and I still have not done half the things in it. This game has kept me entertained for months.
Same. I have like 257 hours in the game and im on my 4th playthrough.
8k hours for me
This game gave me 200+ hours of fun. Nobody creates an immersive historical world like Ubisoft. Beautifully detailed and fun to play! Glad I ain’t the only one whe appreciated it!
@@zicuvalentin2251 So what? You have put the same comment like 8 times now, you want a medal or something?
@@lost_witness_8495i mean he does deserve...
I love this game its in my top 5 fave games of all time. I feel like most people talk crap about it and it wasnt as well liked by most people. It does differ quite a bit from the other assassins creed games but i just love the setting and how beautiful this game is the story is pretty good too and kept me invested and the side quests can be fun and funny. Really glad you made this video.
I love this game, Greece is a blast to explore, and Kassandra is a great character. I understand the complaints about her not being an assassin, and being too powerful, but it’s so much fun to play.
I blow at stealth so I was totally fine with my battles devolving into absolute chaos and still being able to survive lol
@@K.C-2049why be stealthy if they all dead
Why would a grown man play as Kassandra...I didn't have to think twice about choosing Alexios. An assassin in ancient Greece playing as Kassandra would destroy the believability and immersion...this is probably where the complaints about this game stem from they ruined it for themselves by choosing a female
Alexios is also a great character
@@RS__7 what? my guy why does it matter if a grown man wants to play as a female character? and kassandra is the canon choice anyways
I love odyssey, I love huge open world games, the side quests , and the message board is a little over whelming. But if u do it alongside the main story line , the game is quite fun since the story line by itself is pretty short.
Lol it ain’t that short 35 hours for the main story it’s pretty long if u ask me
Easily one if my favourite fames. I absolutely love Greek mythology so getting the chance to pkay through battling mythical creatures and exploring ancient Greece was truly amazing
I wish they could of gave us the ability to purchase a house anywhere on the map along with being able to staff your new home with guards.
This game jumped straight to my absolute favourite assassin's creed game. I was gutted that on my first playthrough I only saved 2 of my family so I immediately started playing again. Love the characters, love the setting, love the mythical monsters. I love that there's no fall damage & Alkibiades will always be my babe ❤
he's a drunk hornball
I absolutely love ac oddysey! It is a big ass adventure! I know people don't like it cuz it's not like the old ac games but if they made every ac game like the old ones I think people would complain about that also. I enjoyed it for what it is n it's a beautiful fun challenging adventure with a cool story!
Correction, non fans would complain about them being the same. Ubisoft can do new things with ac without turning it into the clisterfuck that is this shit game.
Old AC games are boring AF. People who say they're good are only for nostalgia. They're usually the type of people that always say the old things were the good ones
I don't understand how anyone can complain about this game... it's incredible..only just started playing it haven't left the first island yet and the visuals the atmosphere, music, time period and overall content is breathtaking..the map looks huge haven't even fully explored my island yet.
The only way you could hate on this game is if you have no interest in history (in which case why buy the game) a Tik Tok attention span or you're just too spoilt play far too many video games and you're burnt out. You obviously need to take a break..this one of the greatest games ever made
@@RS__7 for me the only bad thing are the Greeks x Spartans fights , as they hold no real weight in the story and I never felt compelled to do them apart from progressing the story.
In AC Valhala those fights at least guarantees you the alliance of the region. However, I think they're also flawed gameplay-wise because the enemies are not finite, you can speed through the objective to kill the final target and that's done
@@bioticgod technically might not be perfect but who cares ..look at the visuals it's unbelievable. Definitely one of the most beautiful worlds I've ever played in so far..the sun sets are amazing the colors wow. The map looks so big I not even scratched the surface yet....I loved the Spartan intro what a way to start a game getting the chance to be Leonidas. I don't understand the complaints about this game
Only at 996 hours of this game.Started yesterday a new game at 994 hours,played 2 hours and still loving it.
❤❤❤❤❤
Odyssey is 'not a real Assassins Creed game', yet Odyssey was the game that actually got me genuinely interested again in AC lore
The mystery around the Spear of Leonidas and the way the game slowly drip-fed you Isu content, how the DLC connected the games to the later brotherhood story and the Isu story was very intriguing to me. I felt like I was slowly unraveling this great mystery. It actually made me want to go back and play the old games and learn more about the lore.
Odyssey is actually a really good introduction for newcomers to the franchise
Best part of ac odyssey is just flying around with Ikaros
I remember absolutely grinding this game up to 15 hours a day lmao, safe to say I quite enjoyed it
Loved this game. It had the best fighting due to cool weapons but also by far the best stealth. The fact you couldn’t one-kill heavily armoured enemies in stealth anymore immediately forced you to carefully plan ahead for how to clear areas. It also had some amazingly fun quests, plus Kassandra was such a likeable character. My favourite together with Bayek.
One of my favorite games of all time. I still play it to this day.
People that said this game aint related to the AC lore literally didnt play it or understand it.
Kassandra is a descendant of the isu. Amunet is a descendant of kassandra direct blood lineage. Its nice they expanded the lore of the first civilization/isu. Which is the main theme on ac artifacts and such. Thats why the "god/demi god like" stuff bcuz of such technology.
I love how ubisoft put the way we "humans" classified as "gods" things we dont understand as seen on origins and onward on the mythology parts.
Best AC game ever
People who hate on this game are crazy. Amazing map, graphics, gameplay, story ... people who hate it are just consumed by nostalgia and won't understand that AC is not about Ezio and Altair
Wtf are you talking about? Nobody is saying AC is just Ezio. Hell, Bayek is from the modern era of AC and it's a fan favourite. This game is just terrible.
It is still the greatest game of all time. Unmatched even with current games.
I will never forget loading into the game for the first time, i still get chills every time it starts. The only game that had that effect on me was RDR2, damn good games
the mere vast world of this game is what makes me come back to it again
Enough is enough..... I can't take it anymore, I want to play Odyssey again ❤.... great video 🔥👌
This is the first game I've played in series. I agree it is not related to OG Assassin's creed games but the game is really great. I'm big fan of music, Kassandra and weapon system.
But it is. Maybe not in game play mechanics but it’s absolutely relevant to the other games. I keep hearing this and I just roll my eyes. The Templars have never just been the Templars. Even in the modern day they are abstergo. Before Templars it was order of the ancients and before that the cult of kosmos. The fight of the Templars begins here and in a way so does the fight of the assassins. Desmond has isu blood just like Kassandra just more diluted. The game focus is on isu artifacts just like the OG assassins creed games. Why is it it’s ok for the “Templars” to evolve into what they are but it’s not ok for the assassins to have evolved from something else entirely too?
@@zacheryhalbertfacts I said the same thing it’s a story telling how everything came to be like in Valhalla when eivor went to Paris to kill Gorm an after he was done the native ppl wanted him to tell a story an after he told them a story he gave them the apple of Eden an I was like interesting so that’s where Connor clan had on got the apple of Eden from the stories for the recent ac are great you can’t rush thru them gotta enjoy it an take ur time on them to get the full picture by far odyssey is the better game I just click with it more it felt more alive just wish the combat was a lil better an had more wow to it
@@zacheryhalbertso they were the cult of kosmos right? I've seen and hear many conversations saying they are not at like related
@@nestormelendez9005 Yes and no. The cult of Kosmos leader later starts what will be the ideological change to what the templars would become. It’s pretty much spelled out for the player. The order of the ancients basically want the same thing as the cult of Kosmos and would directly be the ones who become the Templars. With the cult of Kosmos thoroughly dismantled by Kassandra the logical conclusion is their leader went on to join the order of the ancients to push her knew found beliefs. Both are in assassins creed odyssey. But the primary point of odyssey was to give us a much better understanding of the ISU, humanities connection to them, their intentions and what that bloodline could do when it wasn’t as diluted like it is in later games.
@@zacheryhalbertthat's interesting to hear from you because I've seen many many conversations about people saying they are NOT at affiliated, like zero and I agree with you that they would be another form of the templars from the past otherwise it would be pointless and strange to have a cult in the game just because
I loved using Spartan kick, except that tons on enemies (especially mercenaries) can’t be kicked off of cliffs with it. And while yeah that would be pretty powerful, it’s really annoying to just shit down the player like that after giving them such a useful tool.
Im pretty sure you can do that. At least i remember doing it
@@Viggo3000 Most normal enemies can be kicked off of cliffs, and some mercenaries can as well. But especially for high level mercenaries they often have an ability that means if you try to kick them off a cliff they hit an invisible wall and are just staggered.
from what i remember to kick a mercenary you need to first make them lose its balance, for example for swords its the roundabout typo attack and then quick kick
I still come back to it every now and then and still love it after all that years
This was my first platinum trophy
i know a lot of people don’t really like this game, but i absolutely love it. it’s a banger to me, including the dlcs, and especially the atlantis dlc. i love the story and side quests and graphics and.. everything
Odyssey is easily my favorite game in the series. I hope Ubisoft revisit the characters and settings again some day
It’s the worst and it should rot in hell.
I played this game for the first time last year, and it's one of my favorite AC games made so far! So much went into the game seemingly and I respect everyone who worked hard to make it happen
love the exploration in this world keeps me playing years after release.
The thing I like also if sometimes you’ll explore a place or take out a bandit camps or fort and will later get a “quest complete” and just get your reward without having to essentially accept the quest
You can tell me whatever you want about AC Odyssey. It has the best map of all ac games. Even Black Flag dosen't come even close, on the map side.
I bloody loved Alexios. He is goofy, sassy and has a major himbo enegry. Plus he is SO handsome.
I feel like all the people that complain about this game probably chose to play as Kassandra...that would destroy the immersion and believability for me...I'm loving this game so far and Alexios is a great main character ...not even left the first island yet. So much content
@@RS__7 I too went into the game with a bias against it. True it's grindy, but the game grew on me. Definitely worth playing
@@gorkhawarlord4943 Hasn't felt grindy at all for me yet..I'm too immersed and mesmerized by the visuals, music and ambiance of ancient Greece...I'm not an assassin creed fanatic just a casual gamer with interest in history and travel..that probably helps..
Gamers are too spoilt probably play too many games...it's a 6 year old game I'm blown away one of the greatest games ever made in my opinion and I've not even left the first island yet
odyssey is so underated
This game was my introduction to Assassin's Creed - seeing it on Game Pass I was like, "meh, I'll try that." Sitting now at 450 hours and seeing this video I wasn't aware this was such a departure from the franchise, but certainly a welcome one.
When you are a rpg player and you like assassins creed historical setting and world, Odyssey is where the magic happens
I absolutely love this game.
The world design and exploring Ancient Greece keeps me coming back time after time
Good timing. It has been since 2021 when I last played this game and I had put over 200 hours into it. I completed just about everything with this game including the DLCs and achievements and I believe I only have the Vacation Storyline remaining which I am about to play next now that I have finished with AC Valhalla.
As a Greek who has been into Greek mythology throughout school and certainly loves rpg games, ac odyssey was one of my favorite ac games of all times (yes, ive played them all apart from 1 and 3). While it might not be an "assassins creed" game, it is a nice open world rpg which has depth in its main or even side quest stories. Almost 100 hours into the game and still exploring the vast map. Great work on the video, keep it up!
The Hidden One, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Thank you! I appreciate that
My favourite AC game, and one of my top 10 games of all time :)
honestly its kinda crazy that i stumbled into the “everyone lives” ending bc over the years its seemed uncommon for others to
AC Odyssey is an unbelievably good game. So what if it doesn’t tie in to other AC games. It’s stunning. No other game has given me the sense of awe as this did when I first sailed from Magris to Andros and realised just how much beautiful map was out there.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the only ac game that has made me do a second gameplay this time with Alexio. Alexio's voice ain't that bad as people say it is. This game is fantastic
Boarding ships the the best part of the game it is so satisfying especially since your troops actually help u kill the enemy crew and jump aboard with you
As lover of ancient Greece, AC Odyssey is best game I ever played, the only thing I regret here is that I had weak PC when first time played it.
The map of Odyssey is easily five Skyrims large. I love the open worldness.
What I love about the modern world story is most of the time it’s just glorified cutscenes or you just need to do a little exploring and you’re done. One of the main reasons I don’t visit the older games like Black Flag was how tedious the modern missions were.
Odyssey is easily the best Assassin’s Creed game.
I love Odyssey, and you nailed the best things about it - beautiful immersive setting, huntinf Cult members, and sailing the Adrestia. easy 9/10 game no matter what its title is.
but one annoyance I wanted to mention that I don't hear much about... all the tombs are basically the same! It's always the same corridors and staircases copy-pasted in every tomb, with props just shuffled around a bit. There was a missed opportinity to explore unique tombs for some of the greatest heroes and kings in greek myth and legend. Very disappointing after the unique tombs of Origins, and one of Valhalla's improvements was bringing back unique tombs with good platforming segments.
The epic music that plays when you complete the Pyramid tombs in Origins is my favorite part of that game
i didn't pay attention to any of the reviews or what people were saying online at the time it was released, i just played it and absolutely loved it, still my fave assassin creed game. weird to see videos now looking back at it saying how divisive the game was.
It does have templar/assassin in it, just named differently because it’s the oldest game time line based. Anyway I really enjoyed the game
Nah, no it doesn’t
@@JamesSmith-ny2gb then you haven’t played the game or finished it ;)
@@yvanlebon6201i finished it, it doesn't. Assassin's and their creed didn't exist back then. The game itself literally doesn't understand the lore, not to mention they got the Giza pyramids construction date wrong, the most famous pyramids in the world
It's a really fun rpg, plus grew up loving Greek mythology cause of the Percy Jackson books so the setting is my favorite
The fact that Odyssey and Valhalla has more lore than all the rest of the assassins series together and people say they aren't assassins creed games is wild
Picked this game back up, and loving it. I love the huge map and exploring, huge battles and though fights. I played a lot of AC, and Odyssey ranks top for me with Origins.
I just got odyssey and all the other ac's and i am loving them(i did the exact same thing with the statue of zeus). Your videos convinced me to buy them and thank you.
I'm not much of a gamer. I work all day then enjoy games whenever I can. I bought Odyssey in 2018 & only played a couple missions. Then I stopped for years. In 2022 I finally tried it again & I loved it so much I played it every day for months. I stopped again after completing the story.
Now it's 2024 & I picked the game up where I left off once again. Now I'm just beating old side quests & leveling up again so that i can finally fight Medusa. The last mythological beast I've still never beat
Best video I could have seen in New Years Eve
I recently got this on a steam sale, and played it for about 10 hours, love it so far definitely one of my favourite AC games, i think being half Greek makes me love it more as recognise a lot of the islands and the words
You really can't go wrong with this game at the sale price.
@@timotmon definitely, always have bargains on Steam
2018 was 6 years ago! Damn
Odyssey has 89% positive steam reviews. Second highest of all AC games if I am not mistaken. I don't think that reception can be called split.
I was actually one of the few negative reviewers (and yes, I am an AC fan since the first game), complaining about the excess of grind - especially to upgrade weapons and armor. Even I changed my review to positive eventually, after spending 150+ hours and enjoying all of it. I couldn't really call it grind if I was enjoying it.
"Too much content" is a silly complaint, especially if a lot of it is optional.
Lack of stealth is also great exaggeration. Other than those conquest battles (I think only two of them were unavoidable), almost everything can be done using stealth.
The option to kiss Aspasia also made sense to me. Because her story arcs make her likable, and her explanations for her actions make her a lot more sympathetic and sensible compared to many other AC Templar villains. And AC Odyssey is set so early in the lore that the protagonist is not a member of the creed nor a hidden one, but a legendary mercenary. The order of the ancients / templars are not yet the villains they become later in the timeline. The Eagle Bearer does not have a moral obligation or inclination to end Aspasia purely because she was a cultist.
Overall, I think Odyssey is one of the best AC games ever made. My three personal favorites are Black Flag, Odyssey and Brotherhood.
I absolutely love this game! Exploring historical settings was always my favourite part of the Assassin’s Creed games, more so than the whole Assassin/Templar, Desmond, Precursor stuff. That stuff was cool too but I just loved getting immersed in the historical setting, so I wasn’t really bothered that that stuff was mostly absent.
Kassandra is a likeable protagonist and her voice actor did a great job. The music is great! I like sailing between different islands and how they have story arcs unique to them.
This is honestly the best game Ubisoft made in this franchise. If it was streamed lined and sold as Odyssey, maybe it wouldn’t have sold as much but it would be even more recognized imo
I just finished playing the Horizon games before trying this out and I was surprised how similar they handle. I'm loving this game. Can't believe the hate it got online at release, it's amazing. The only thing negative I have to say is they definitely nefted the xp to push people into buying boosters but the side content is so good I don't mind the slow leveling. It actually make you appreciate how much work they put into the world even more.
This game is a masterpiece, tried getting into Valhalla and Mirage but I keep going back to this game because the world is unmatched.
The free DLC, Vacation, that dropped at the same time as the Isle of Skye DLC for Valhalla, was a fantastic conclusion to Odyssey’s story. Depowering the Spear and forcing the player to go without the abilities they’d no doubt become used to added a sense of challenge, and giving Barnabas a temptation arc with the Apple where he became the final boss of the story in a very Al Mualim fight in terms of game mechanics was more emotionally hitting than the climax with Aspasia. The post-credits scene at the Library of Alexandria was a proper squee moment, Odyssey now connected to Origins and Valhalla.
One of my favorite assassin's creed game.
literally after a couple years about any AC game : UNDERRATED
Too much content is never a bad thing to me, and the content in this game is all quality. Including side quests. They all have their own narrative and they all connect you with different people from different places on the map.
Def my fave AC game, even if it’s not a typical AC, not even that serious. Loved being able to play with the alternative controls, the other’s control systems felt awkward, other than origins. I’m 992 hours in across 4 diff play throughs, 3 with Kassandra. Odyssey is my “comfort” game… probably my fave game ever
People say this isn't an AC game yet give Black Flag as past because you play as a pirate lmao Absolute nonsense. Odyssey is one of the best games from last generation. Absolute gem of a game
What a stupid comparison. AC4 you play as a reluctant assassin by the end and you're surrounded by the typical assassin's vs templars drama. This game didn't bothered with any of that
@CYB3R2K "By the end" lol The majority of the game you are not. Also un Odyssey, you literally fighting the Templars under a different game. Bad "AC" game or not, Odyssey is an amazing game.
@@DV-ou1yu you literally move like an assassin and meet mentors and you help them. Again this game does nothing like that. And btw as an RPG this game is mediocre as well.
@CYB3R2K We get it, you're not a fan. Lol
@@DV-ou1yu I'm a fan of AC dude, that's why I hate Odyssey. Is everything wrong with modern gaming infecting a franchise that I cared. There's a short clip of amosgold or whatever he's called that weirdly enough explains it the best "I don't like stealth and assassin's games, but I don't need AC to appeal to me, otherwise it stops being AC"
Gong through my second round. I was curious how did you get that ability to summon a soldier from the sky and assassinate someone? How did you get that?
Atlantis DLC
Still the best in the series
Hi , is the dlc worth it in this game I'm not sure whether to get just base game for cheap or the ultimate edition for 20
If you want the full experience, go for the dlc. You won't be able to get max level without the dlc unless you put in so many more hours than necessary, in the dlc you get a 6x xp boost. A bunch of new items and perks that will make the game not only more fun, but easier too.
Though it isn't my favorite AC game, Odyssey is the one I play the most. I can come back to it and just do conquest battles, infiltrations, some random NPC quests, fight mercenaries, or naval combat. The game just has so much to offer.
Still the most gorgeous game I’ve ever played
Good video! I saw it coming.
I love the game as well, but something I’ve noticed is that the game is not only of course in EA/Ubisoft style, “pay to win”, but by the time you’re level 20, you can fight basically anyone and kill them if you can dodge and play for that long.
I still love playing this game but EA always ruining SINGLE PLAYER experiences with p2w mechanics.
Very underrated game, the one i enjoyed the most out of all in the saga (also funny how many people who hated this game on launch loved the gane after trying it)
for real, I kept waiting for Markos to ask if we wanted to go bowling
I am in just love with this AC my favourite. I know I can be like “ What is this guy saying” but I really loved the RPG part of AC as it makes u feel u are powering up
It’s just the gameplay for me. I tried many times, but I struggle getting into games where the character leaps around by themselves to close distances when they attack. My dream is the entire Witcher series remade with an open world and FromSoftware combat
Awesome review.
Answered a majority of my questions.
Ain't no way this game is 6 years old now
