Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It is the eleventh major installment, and 21st overall, in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins. Set in the years 431-422 BC, the plot tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Players control a male or female mercenary (Ancient Greek: μίσθιος misthios) who fights on both sides of the conflict as they attempt to find their family.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 5, 2018, with a Stadia version launching alongside the service in 2019. It received praise for its gameplay, graphics, story, characters, and world design, while being criticised for feeling too ambitious. The game was followed by Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which takes place in medieval Britain and Norway during the Viking expansion across Europe.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey places more emphasis on role-playing elements than previous games in the series. The game contains dialogue options, branching quests and multiple endings.[2] The player is able to choose between siblings Alexios and Kassandra as to whom they use as the main character.[3] The game features a notoriety system in which mercenaries chase after the player if they commit crimes like killing or stealing in the presence of others.[4]
The player character is a Greek mercenary and a descendant of the Spartan king Leonidas I. They inherit his broken spear, which is forged into a blade to become a weapon that grants the player special abilities in combat. The game uses a skill tree system that allows the player to unlock new abilities.[5] The three skill trees are "hunter", which focuses on ranged attacks through the use of a bow & arrow, "warrior", which focuses on weapons-based combat (swords, spears, axes etc.), and "assassin", which focuses on stealth and silent take-downs. This replaces the system used in Origins, which granted the player a series of passive abilities.
The hitbox combat system introduced in Origins returns and is expanded upon to grant the player access to different special skills when the ability bar fills up. These skills include calling a rain of arrows and a powerful kick to knock opponents off-balance,[4] and are similar to the "Overpower" mechanic introduced in Origins that let the player use a powerful finishing move in combat. The game features a gear system in which each piece of armor the player wears has different statistics and provides a range of advantages.[6] These can be equipped and upgraded individually. The "eagle vision" mode, which was used by the franchise to give the player the ability to scout an area by highlighting enemies and objects, has been replaced by a golden eagle named Ikaros as a companion,[7] similar to Senu in Origins.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey features naval combat, first featured in Assassin's Creed III, with the player having access to Hellenistic-era warships to explore the Aegean Sea. The conflict between Athens and Sparta is represented through a "War System" which enables players to take contracts from mercenaries and participate in different large-scale battles against hostile factions. The war system can change a faction's influence over a region.[6]

Like this comment if you took back my purist card because I like Odyssey. Let's see how many people are really mad that I like a video game that they don't like 😂😂😂
Big oof. Oddessy wasn't good (in the way it wasn't a good assassin's Creed game don't hate me)
You can keep your purist card mate because am in the same boat as you it’s marmite you either love it or hate it
😂gimme dat shit (jk)
Hey Javee nice vid, I’ve only played the demo of Odyssey and did not enjoy it much but I’m sure i would enjoy it if I tried it again. I do not know if you saw my comments on your live stream but according to history, where Eivor met Alfred at the end of the Order, he is hiding and preparing for Guthrum. It would be an awesome dlc to see Guthrum get power hungry and Eivor helps Alfred at the Battle of Eddington to resume power of Wessex. Then perhaps Eivor might open his eyes to Alfred’s new Templar mentality
I can't stand odyssey at all and I truly believe that it's a bad game overall. But If you like it, you have every right to. To each, their own.
As a kid that grew up obsessed with Ancient Greece and Greek mythology I felt completely engrossed exploring this world. At times even truly wishing I could be a part of it. Few games have ever made me feel that way
Yeah same!! Odyssey for me is the best assassins creed game!!
Same
Unrelated but Asuka pfp?
I feel that. I adored the Greek Myths growing up and Odyssey gave me the fantasy of playing out a myth of my own, full of moral parables, impossible challenges and a feeling that every new land held some bizarre new story to tell.
Yeah , even i was so awed by ancient greece in the beginning, but the sheer repetitiveness makes the whole experience poor
I cant wait for "So I played AC Valhalla in 2024..."
Gon be a real bruh moment
Reaction vs Hindsight. They're always this way. They're all very good games from a story and fun perspective. Gamers are just dorks.
@@PhenomResurrections08 very true
The cycle continues.
I think the reason he feels this strongly about Odyssey being better than Valhalla is expectations. Jayvee really felt betrayed by Valhalla because of the expectations he set for it. Meanwhile he went into Odyssey with zero expectations so of course it was easier for him to find things he liked.
I'm a 73-year-old Slovak. I've been playing this game for a really long time and about 7 times since the beginning. I have to emphasize that this game is perfect for old players. I play everything the game has to offer and I still really enjoy it.
Kind regards, Milan
The progression is also rather gradual, and it’s a great game for people who just began playing. A good first introduction into RPG’s, and gaming as a whole. Like RDR2, it’s one of the few game who actually intrigued my father and impressed him when he saw me playing it.
The length of the story and all the side content and exploration possibilities make it a perfect game for retired people, or during the lockdowns. It’s the game I would take if I had an hospital stay.
I’m so glad people are finally realizing how great Odyssey is and not judging it through all that came before because I’ve loved it since it came out and I never understood why people hated it.
Facts
Bro this game is shit
It’s boring. And how can you not judge it against the other games in the franchise. Ridiculous.
EXACTLY
@@ninakore fair, but the franchise had to evolve
so nobody's going to mention the music? that music was so sweet especially at the gateway to atlantis
YEEEES! Thank you for commenting on that... I love the music in this game... sometimes I listen to it to this day!
yep
Man oddysey music gives me a tingly feeling
ESPECIALLY the level up music
Oh, the music was class 👌🏻 I have the album in my playlist👍🏻
I love the fact that Odyssey quests are built like a greek tragedy. For anyone who truly loves this time period, it just makes everything better! Still waiting for an ancient ac which includes Carthage, Rome, Syracuse, etc...
Yes! I thought the structure of Odyssey's quests was really thematically interesting. Even the side quests, sometimes you'd choose a dialogue option that you think games want you to choose for the best outcome, but the ending isn't what you expected at all. This mode of delivering the game is what makes me really like Odyssey over Origins. I abandoned Origins after 5-6 hours because it feels like a contemporary police drama or Taken with an ancient Egypt filter. Despite being silly sometimes, Odyssey feels like it actually somewhat conveys the worldview of the ancient Greeks.
I know you’re not talking about Syracuse, NY, but the idea of having an AC game set there is hilarious to me
Brotherhood literally takes place in Rome what the fuck are you on about
My GF, said the same thing, one day she was like "this game is built around greek tragedy" I never thought about it until then.
@@Tom3kkk he clearly said ancient rome. Very different to brotherhoods renaissance rome.
Odyssey was easily one of my favorite games.. like the amount of work and creativity / thought that got put into it alone makes this game an actual piece of art
Sometimes you have to see how rotten modern stuff can be for you to admit the greatness of what came before it. I always like the Star Wars Prequels, they were never great but I was capable of seeing the light shine through the shit. But the vast majority of people hated them altogether and proclaimed SW to be dead in the 2000s.
It took 10 years for Disney's Sequels to show them what a truly horrifying cinematic abortion is, and now the Prequels are at least acknowledge them for the good parts. If Ubisoft doesn't get their shit together in the next AC people will be defending even Syndicate, just wait for It.
@@bigbangrafa8435 Syndicate was fun tho, it had the grapple gun and the main characters were funny
@@prinzdenax I still remember being mindblown by it. I had played AC I, II, Brotherhood, Revelations and Black Flag before playing Syndicate and it was the game that I enjoyed the most
yeah
Nah it's a terrible AC game
Being a huge greek history & mythos nerd since I was a kid, playing AC Odyssey was basically a dream come true, roming ancient Greece and exploring towns that I read about in books, and even if they were fictionnal within the setup of the game, meeting and talking with people like Perikles, Leonidas, Socrates and Herodotes was truly very nice.
And I wont lie, the modern day / ISU story is very interesting more than ever in my opinion, I always liked seeing and reading about ancient civilization/technology and all things "alien" to humankind.
And I know that a lot of people didn't like Odyssey as an AC game (even hating on it) but somehow I'm very glad that 2-3 years after, people are also realizing how good of a game it is on its own. Still not perfect, but very enjoyable and good at what it does.
Edit : and I forgot to mention the music and greek sea shanty, this part gets a 10/10 for me
Ever try immortal fenyx rising?
@@vickeygaming1660 didn't know that game but I'm curious about it now
Greek sea shanty immedalitely made it 10/10 when i was playing
I'm still in love with Ac: Origins
Same
That game is a masterpiece, I love it.
I feel that origins was a good bridge between the classic and the new. I don't feel that odyssey or valhalla have come close.
Long live Bayek of Siwa
Bayek of Siwa rullz!!!
I was invisible in odyssey. They couldn’t see me. Literally
The pilgrim set was unbelievable!
sounds like real life
Nobody can see kasandra cause she is no person because she has no personality
Shadow of Nyx
Me too only game i play invisible all the time...so so fun...this game is amazing
I absolutely love Odyssey. That and black flag are some of my all time faves. Exploring Ancient Greece is an absolute treat.
i loved ac odyssey SO MUCH, i love the athens vs spartans, i loved the monsters, the historical accuration, the world is so beautiful. odyssey executed all gameplay styles flawlessly in my opinion. i love it. my top 2 AC game alongside unity.
What the hell did I just read
@@OmgEsManolo an opinion that most people here can agree with it’s not a disappointment like the new one
@@randomman8097 that may be true but odyssey is literally 95 percent grinding. I literally cant enjoy the half decent main story when i have to grind for hours so i can wander an area without being destroyed.
Edit: ive spent way to long trying to prove my point. If you disagree with me, leave it at that and dont write essays on why you dont agree with me. Obviously my comment has been received by the wrong side of the community.
I hated Unity...Not in any order my top 3 are AC3, Black Flag and Odyssey. Rogue is honestly a VERY close top 3 as well.
@@smoothyodaproductions4373 shit I had issues keeping my armor and weapons leveled up because I blew through the leveling so fast even with no XP boosts. I also did as many side quests as I could to earn gold...hunting pirates was a favorite past time and still is.
I actually loved AC: Odyssey the first time I played it, but I’m a huge Greek mythology geek so this game was my dream come true.
LOL please, please play Fenyx Rising they made also.
I actually picked it up during a sale, but I’ve hardly touched it. I’ll have to revisit it this weekend
@@BLATANTBLATHEIST Prometheus tries to tell you straight Greek mythology. Then Zeus goes in, and gives HIS take on it. It's freaking awesome. It plays a lot like AC too. Some skills are straight out of Odyssey you can just tell LOL.
Vikings are my thing so Valhalla was exciting but very disappointing
Same
They fucked up by not putting shields into odyssey. You’re a Spartan and the shield is essential to your people’s way of life.
Wtf? There were shields in origin. Why none in odyssey?
@@jprec5174 exactly, it doesn’t make sense
Eh I kinda agree but then again alexios isnt a traditional spartan he is a mercenary and half athen
@@jprec5174 They wanted the whole spear thing in in one hand. Other being a custom weapon. It should have just been some amulet like in Witcher, and whatever you want in either hand. All the mechs were in the game for your opponents. If the game allowed true mods like Skyrim, it'd have shields and so much more it'd be insane. But Ubisoft keeps way tighter controls over their games. It's a shame.
Because your a mithios and you don't care that your a spartan you just want to find your family (at least that's what I'm up to) also the spear is used in assassinations and it's made from isu technology
Honestly all my life I was obsessed with Ancient Greece and Greek mythology, so when I found odyssey I automatically fell in love with the game, and I think it’s my favorite game currently.
I actually loved AC odyssey. The world was amazing to explore, the gameplay was really fun, and it was overall a great game
Odyssey should have been its own game! The cities, towns, villages, temples, fortresses etc is as close as you can get to being in ancient Greece....stunning example of the ancient world. I just wander around, do some missions.....and wander some more....Sparta today....Athens tomorrow....but hey, that's me.
so could have valhalla. the assasins creed name criples them both
I mean odyssey was supposed to be immortals but the higher upside wanted an ac game that year and told Quebec to just figure out a way to smush ac into the game
Won't be a cash cow then
With every enemy outpost look exactly the same qith exactly same enemies at exactly same position. That is what I got from odyssey. If comparing. Odyssey, a great game and I love it, valhalla to.
@@siddharthvidhu6861 Not unless Ubisoft figured out spin-off series works. These could have been Abstergo video games instead of mainline Assassin's Creed games, still connecting them to the series.
Odyssey is the only AC where I still havent finished some missions because I still don’t want it to end.
There's so much content you honestly don't need to worry even if u finish it
Yea I’ve been playing for 2 years and there’s still shit to do
i actually love odyssey
Lmfao I finished it all, I miss it but don’t want to restart 🤣😭
Finished it in its entirety. Played it again as the other character and made different choices. New game.
Bought Valhalla last night, spent 7 hours, got no where, my own kid asked what’s up with the long boats? Downloaded odyssey today… Loving it
did he not ask about in boats in odyssey?
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I love odyssey so much it’s arguably my favorite single player game ever. The setting is awesome, the combat, the side story content, ship combat, etc. it’s j awesome to me
Honestly I fully agree
Same
I honestly absolutely love Odyssey not because it’s a “good ac game” because it isn’t really an ac game, I love it because of the environment, characters, setting, mythic items, lore and mythical creatures I love how it’s an RPG and it’s just so good I can’t get over it.
But I also love Valhalla for so many other different reasons
Same bro
Haven't played an AC game since Unity. Which ones are good since then?
@@jamessmith4843
AC Valhalla and origins. The others you can skip.
I loved Valhalla and Odyssey because it was RPG and you could customize your character to an extent. Also like the fact that it’s not just spamming a button anymore. When I played AC lll and AC black flag I was blown away at the realism and history, for example, I always imagine how the Boston massacre look like and then they show it in the game, which was cool to see.
@@jamessmith4843
Just skip everything, nothing is worth your time.
The atmosphere was just magical in Odyssey
No
Agree with you...because odyssey is a masterpiece...
@@zicuvalentin2251 well its greece in term of atmosphere its better than england
@@users10116 I dont think because its greece...the colours...its a full world...they work hard in odyssey...to create a masterpiece game...I have 1500 hours... I had a lot of fun with the bow because we have unlimited arrows.
@@users10116 and the game is mostly replayable and never boring for exemple Red dead redemption 2...odyssey the best and strong game...RDR 2 after the story(80 hours) exploring is so boring
Been playing this game for almost 4 years now since launch, well over 700 hours put into 6/7 New Game+ playthroughs, I still love this game. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. Its story is charming and emotional, the gameplay isn’t deep but still very fun, and everytime I’ve done a play through I always find something new that I haven’t seen before, whether that be a quest I missed, some dialogue that I hadn’t heard or choices that lead to whole quests that I hadn’t played yet. People can moan that it’s not a good Assassins Creed game, but I don’t care because it’s a fun, mythical Greek RPG that knows what it wants to be, unlike Valhalla
For me, it has the best story of any AC game, and interesting side quests
@@bippitybopitybooty1127 imo it's story was the worst thing about it next to the rpg elements but atleast it was better than AC rogue or something
@@Fike223 the story was the best
@@Bobotix it just didn't have any direction and changing tones, it keeps changing from a serious around dark story to stupid unfunny jokes in a matter of seconds
@@Fike223 the story had the main direction of finding family and destroying the cultists
3 years ago I played Odyssey and it blew my mind. It is amazing. I am crawling through Origins now and missing RPG choices. Well, narrative is so good, that it arguably needs them. Overall, from RPG prospective - Odyssey is MUCH BETTER. Valhalla... still have not touched.
I agree the story’s had be so immersed, plug the Greek mythology lore is amazing. Valhalla is good, but you’ll be dissatisfied with the story. It’s all over the place and the ending just leave you like “okay that’s it?”
Ive played all three, and you've told me enough for me to tell you to be prepared to be disappointed with Valhalla.
Yes, this is correct. The setting (and story) of Origins is what makes it my favorite. But Odyssey is truly the best.
Dont ever touch valhalla its a major dissapointment. I was hyped for it cause i love the northern mythology but its bad like real bad imo
I feel like AC Odyssey is finally getting the love it deserves. Odyssey was a beautiful, brilliant game and was the perfect escape during the first lockdown. Exploring the different islands and doing the side quests took you to a different world
this! i bought it on a sale last year and i absolutely loved the game and spent almost 100 hours in it
@@chrismoore5333 AC lore was always a bit wonky. Ever since AC2 went and introduced the Isu.
Odyssey is a fine game if you just want to turn your brain off, roam around some pretty scenery, and mow down mobs of the same enemies over and over again. I have some games like that too but that's definitely not what Assassin's Creed is which is why some people have a problem with it but I'm glad you got something out of it.
@@ReluctantWarrior
I think the mistake they made was over-explaining everything rather than leaving it mysterious. Personally, I don't think a historic action/social stealth parkour puzzle box game about a clandestine group of assassins who kill tyrants to effect political change and maintain some semblance of freedom in a secret war with a competing order bent on controlling everyone ever needed the sci-fi and wonkey ancient "first civilization" stuff to tie it to the modern day or that it even needed to be tied to the modern day. The Desmond stuff is fine, I didn't mind it, but most of the time found myself just wishing to get back to the guy in the cool flowing robes leaping off buildings to stab evil people in the neck and save the day.
Yeah! I got thus game when the pandemic started and it definitely got me through it lol. Actually got it the same day i got my Xbox One S on black friday.
I just love how RESPONSIVE Odyssey is. The movement, the combat, the stealth, everything.
God, I felt that in AC3 they gave me. WTF is this, he moves like some junk robot. Only running is OK. He fights clumsy, the counter is junk, lots of times you don't know you've done it right. Firearms are crap to use too. He climbs stupidly as I felt in the theater already. Black flag fixed it all a bit, but lots of those same flaws are right there. Origins/Odyssey were amazing about how much BETTER they were, and at stealth too dang it.
@Merciless Freak It really was, it was still better than origins' movement tho, that shit was so ass.
Am I the only one who feels odyssey has dull and boring combat
@@rubenrosario7226 Did you try skills or only heavy or light attack? Did you get the gear to help with certain skills?
@@DsgSleazy what? Origins movement and combat was way better than Odyssey
After playing 15hrs of Valhalla I felt like something was off like the game was missing something. I decided to search it out on CZcams and then I found myself here. Here in this video you literally hit every single point and every single problem with this game. Watching this video I kept saying to myself “oh yup, exactly!” It’s almost like you were reading my mind lol. Great video and I subbed too 👍
I'm well over 300 hours into Odyssey. Only the 3rd chapter of the Atlantis dlc has me getting a bit bored. I actually want to go back to Greece and continue clearing the map. I played Valhalla as well and found, like many others, that the main campaign was just too damn long. It wore me out. But you know, after giving it a break for a few months and coming back to it, I'm starting to really appreciate how incredibly beautiful that world is. Scenery-wise, I think I might even prefer it to Greece. I'm doing very few quests - just exploring England and Ireland, hunting treasure and murdering NPC's for giggles. Alexios will always be my favorite protagonist, but truly Valhalla has a lot to offer as well. It's simply..... different. Very very different.
@@michaelforsythe4335 300 hours in odyssey? TF?
You only need 121 hours to complete the whole game
I just finished my first ever playthrough in 2022, and I must say this game blew my expectations out of the water. Having been a massive Witcher 3 fan you can see Ubisoft took a lot of notes from that game and implemented them here. Side quests actually carrying their own narrative weight, fun and flashy game play that encourages exploration into its systems, nailing the environmental tone (for once it wasn't dark and dreary, hell you are sailing through the Aegean! One of the most beautiful places in the world), varied dialog options, and simply going from being a pretty strong merc to a literal Demi-god. I found myself loving doing side quests simply because it was a blast to clear out forts and camps using these awesome powers. The mercenary system having people chase you down inside of a fort while trying to assassinate a city leader, and then fighting them all off because you are that powerful just feels amazing. The biggest thing for me though this world feels believable. Every island has its own unique character and theme, which is exactly what the real Greek islands are like. Crete feels entirely different from Mykonos and from Chios and from Lesbos; it's different from Athens and Sparta. Each zone actually is designed around what the real life regions do. Chios is designed to be harvesting Tears of Chios, Arkadia is the bread basket, Athens does feel like the cultural center of the world.
This game through and through impressed me as a player who left the series after AC3, I want to play a NG+ just like I did in Witcher 3 because this world feels engaging all the while immersing you in lore and fantasy just like an ancient Greek myth does. 10/10.
I had fun playing Odyssey and Valhalla. Hundreds of hours of genuine entertainment... what else can I ask for?
Facts👆👆
Okay, like I get this perspective, I really do. I play video games because they're fun. Most games are fun.
But this is a critique and a comparison, taking a magnifying glass and reading between the lines. This is "if you really care a lot and want to compare games, this is what I think".
we have to criticise developers or theyll get lazy and give us trash games
a good game ? lol
@@michaellarusso8421 I respect your opinion but I enjoyed the game. Think maybe we can share that mutual respect? It was a good game. No it wasn’t the “assassins” game I think we all hoped for but that didn’t stop me from enjoying my time playing the game..
The thing about Odyssey no one can deny is hoods. Valhalla should have taken a page from Odyssey and give us the option to wear hoods forever.
*Origins*
Odyssey does not give you that option at all, most of the time your wearing some helmet or headdress
@@isotonicpastry8423 there are a few hoods and everything with gear is optional
@@isotonicpastry8423 there are hoods in the game.
What the hell is so important about fighting with a damn hood on?!!! We talking game breaking bugs that spoiled the game but you're worried about HOODS??!!! GTFOH!!!😂🤣😟🤣😂
@@noobbotgaming2173 there’s about 3 or 4 different hood types in a game with around 100 different helmet types
i personally enjoyed Odyssey way more than Valhalla, just the fact that in Odyssey you can actually loot, progress and make proper builds, meanwhile in Valhalla all you can do is get out your credit card if you want a good build.
its also 2 years later and Valhallas stealth is still absolute garbage, meanwhile in Odyssey i REALLY loved the spear teleport assassination, that was SO FUN
After playing Valhalla, which was my intro to AC, this helped me to decide to purchase Odyssey after I completed the main story. I 100% agree with all your points.
Play origins it's the best of the new games.
Out of the 3 origins is the best but if your new to ac try unity
@@mono601 nah odyssey is still better than origins
@@mono601 No, Odyssey is still better than Origins. Origins quests are like doing work. Odyssey quests are more relaxing.
Bro play Brotherhood..
Loved Spartan kicking people off a mountain or building in Odyssey
Killed hella skull level bounty hunters like that
Yep great to fight on building or mountain tops and just kick them off , soooooo satisfying
another reason the combat in Valhalla is so much better than Odyssey
@@jakob3044 because you can't kick people?
I agree that mechanics was really Awesome, I really had a lot of fun with it. Shame that you cannot quick Mercenaries of the cliffs etc... because they are so powered which I understand why, but some times would have been nice to have the ability to make them fly with the spartan quick, especially when you are surrounded by 5 to 8 mercenaries + the whole fortress army
Odyssey was the first AC game that I was really invested in and I remember right in the first few hours being blown away by the word and the atmosphere that they've created. I haven't been this excited and happy about playing a video game since I was a primary school kid. I specifically remember leaving Kephalonia and going into the open word for the first time and feeling how romantic, inviting and explorative the whole world feels. Everything from the music to the lush environments and the dose of humor. One of the very first places I happened to go to was the place where Cyclops was hiding and finding out there's a big mystery behind his cave and I got the sense of how large and mythical this game is and it hasn't disappointed me in my whole 300 hours of playing, there was always something new to gasp at. If people were able to look past the "assassin" aspect, they would see that the game was absolutely amazing for what it was trying to be and they executed it perfectly
Even i loved the game but stopped playing after the level required for the next mission was too high (in the mission you get at the Pirate island) so I had to unfortunately stop playing
I swear to God, everything you just said perfectly describes my first experience with the game as well. Even down to stumbling upon the Cyclops early on. I still argue that this is AT LEAST the second funnest game in the franchise. Not the second best, in my opinion, but in terms of a fun, memorable, exciting gameplay experience, Odyssey excels like almost no other entry in the franchise does.
THIS!!! COMPLETELY AGREE
Agreed. Bought it during Covid quarantine last March and I’m still playing it. It’s a spectacular game
Exactly 💯
AC Odyssey is one of my favorite games of all time
Odyssey is a fantastic game... it's one of those games that's going to keep going for many years and keep gaining fans. I don't even have to play it I like the artwork and so on so much I can just enjoy watching other people play it.
Odyssey was the only game I played for a while after completing it
I feel sorry for you

I love all assassins creed games because for me it’s about the time period and how ubi immerses me in it
Good, and for that even I enjoyed some of the older ones in which gameplay plain bored me, and the story. They always went out of their way to recreate those ages in every game.
Does that include liberation?

I replayed this game again this year (2022) and it was great. Managed to get in 150 hours of gameplay before finishing again (includes completing dlc's) I've spent about 400 hours on this game in total now, and is my personal favourite of the Assassins Creed series, of which I have played all of them.
whats ur opinion about origin?
@@argyamahardika789 I loved Origins, it’s just that map is very empty compared to other Assassins Creed games. There is too much large empty area with nothing in it, but they improved that in the next game.

@@puresoul8943 I’m not sure if you mean which came first in the Assassins Creed series or the time the game is set in. If the series, Origins came first, but in a real timeline Odyssey came first
@@jaguwa4816thanx. .i was talking about series . .
At this point, the only difference between Jackson and most of us other purists is that unlike us, he has accepted that AC will never be the same and has moved on. We should all probably do the same if we want to keep our sanity.
Haven't played AC since Unity so I just accepted AC is dead. I ain't supporting these RPGs lol I'll come back when I'm not bombarded with "pay microtransactions" for armor/outfits

@@rogercamarena1497 Apparently you can get all the items that you can buy in odyssey tho
That would be great because then Ubisoft would at least try to make good games for those that like the new style instead of trying to please both camps and edning up with something like Valhalla.
Finally people started to appreciate Odyssey more. I played Odyssey for over 400 hours and enjoyed every minute of it.
Happens with every new game in this series. People absolutely hate it when it comes out and then love it when the next game comes out.
400hr. Me too
Love Odyssey so much.
Me too... I can't really talk about the og fans, because I haven't played the 1st games... but I played odyssey and loved it! I miss the characters... sometimes, I just want to play the game to see them again...
I played only 100h
Odyssey is by far the most complete and fun game of AC series.
The naval battles are unique, and It was a big surprise that background dialogs in are in real ancient Greek
YESS!! ACO is genuinely one of my favorite games ever, i have so many fond memories of it. i played it in full for several months straight and basically 100%'d it. The way it combines history with mythology is breath taking and engaging. And the characters! They're all so charming and well done! I couldn't get enough of Alexios/Kassandra! And i FELT all of the emotional beats...so when I got Valhalla, i could barely play it. I haven't picked it up in about a year. I just can't! And I'm so glad to see another opinion like mine about this game that's so dear to me.
i also LOVE how it's the origin of the Templars and it only reveals that at the end. I know a lot of people don't like it, but i think it's cool
I loved every second of the 250 hours I spent on AC: Odyssey.
Me too i have 1500 hours...all build set was unbelievable...the bow is amazing fun(infinite arrow)

I loved Odyssey. Valhalla was okay but it just didn’t give the same feel.
The thing I respect, when this man has a strong opinion... he transforms his anger into a focused beam. Very hard when frustrated.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I too played Odyssey after Valhalla. Odyssey shows some substantial pixelation while playing on my console. Sometimes the draw distances filling in can be jarring. The textures of the people and the scenery are not the best. It also took me a while to get used to the over-the-top Greek Accents.
That said, the base game is ENORMOUS. I've put in about 100 hours and there's still so much to do. So other than the visuals being a bit lacking, I'm enjoying it.
Odyssey was my first AC game. I love history and absolutely love Odyssey. The history was spectacular. It had humor. I loved sailing around Greece.
The locked doors in Valhalla basically made me rage quit the game 20 times! Lol
best advice i can give? look up. half the time the door is barred, there'll be a gap above that you can climb into, or a thatched roof spot you have to shoot down and THEN climb into. otherwise yea its basically 'find the hole in the building to shoot the barred spot'
Lmao I hated the barred doors
Yeah, and the funky puzzles, the idiotic boss battles in Asgard..
It made me CZcams each after 20 mins. I've really tried on some too. WTF. If it's far and in between in the main quest line, yeah I'd have liked them. They stuck them all over, and it just annoyed.
Odyssey was one of the best having experiences I've ever had.
Me too bro 1500 hours in odyssey
No offense but that's kinda sad. So many good games out there and your best experience is one of the worst games in a series on decline. There's guilty pleasures and then there's just doing yourself a disservice by being obsessed with not good games.
Me too man. I also loved origins
@@voltza030rk4 origins is good but has repetitive assassinations and repetitive creatures .... odyssey is very well set up to beat any game and very fun epic
@@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790 some people just like a big open world with a bunch of shit to do for hours and hours, AC since Origins is basically mainly that with some story, it's not a The Witcher 3 but it's not bad either, it's fun, they really should get rid of all the fetch quests tho
I absolutely adore this game, my all time favourite. Since a kid I was obsessed with greek mythology and this game delivers everything I have learnt throughout my whole life about greek mythology. The huge map with so much to do, so gorgeous with so many side characters and quests that don't feel like basic content to make the game longer, but are memorable fun and sometimes dramatic. I remember finding the Poseidon trident for the first time, realizing that the mythical monsters are in game and I can fight them, collecting the heros' armor sets and discovering atlantis going in blind gave me a feeling that I have never even remotely close experienced in a video game.
I have 100% the game 5 times now and every time I stop and a few months pass, I just get back to it.
When I'm playing this game, I really do feel that I'm part of that world that I have dreamt my whole life and I'm living a fantasy that seems so real
I just got Odyssey on the steam summer sale 2022 and ive only ever played black flag before and i love odyssey so far. The ship gameplay and the fighting overall is so much fun. Kassandra is also a very good protagonist. Very good game
I love odyssey for the historic realism and setting. You literally have a education mode in odyssey to teach you about history. All this while being a huge scaled remade of the area. It could be I'm more familiar with greek stories and knew most of the characters before hand and seeing them was great.

Same here. In fact I have not finished Valhalla. Prob try again once it's all done.
Going thru Odyssey again on PS5. Wiped my save and started over. Gonna try to 100 percent it. Haven't done that yet. Kept doing new game plus.
Same
Dam I’m struggling to get through it once
@@jackj9816 not liking it?
@@jbuggyps2 Feel you, just played it again, 98% now and level 61 , amazing game
Great video man! Tbh, I really enjoyed Vahalla and I even feel bad agreeing with you, but that’s because I started Odyssey two weeks ago and I’m HOOKED. I mean it blows Vahalla away. I could literally play Odyssey all day long and not get bored.
I just started my first AC game, Origins, and I definitely enjoy the game, a few minor things I don't like due to not understanding them. I'm considering Odyssey, but not 100% on it yet. Thanks for the great video!!!
the biggest issue I have with Valhalla's stealth system is that I can't even use my bow in bushes because I'll automatically be seen. I could do that as much as I wanted in Odyssey, so I was surprised that I could no longer pull that off in valhalla.
Then get better at the game noob it's more realistic that u can't shoot from the bush
@@jassi4660 incel Energy lol gross
This is a good point, aside from the taller bushes you can't do this
Really felt the shit stealth with path of the druid dlc, trying to do the order for the king things was a right pain.
In Origins too
I have put well over 140 hours into Odyssey as a whole. It was during the pandemic when I was on unemployment for about 6 months. I did everything I could, finished the main story, took on a ton of contracts, finished so much side content, beat all of the dlc's and I still have so much more to find and do. It's literally my favorite assassins creed to date. And I can't wait to play it even more every day.
I played Odyssey for the first time last fall and I loved the game. It’s very different compared to the older games, but I appreciated that and enjoyed the game for what it was. I am obsessed with clearing out the forts without being detected. I loved how big the world felt and all of the different armor options. I like the ability to choose to help the Athenians or the Spartans in the conquest battles. Overall, I think it is a fantastic game and one of my favorites from the series. (Granted I’ve only played 3, Unity, and Odyssey to completion, but I’m working on the others.)
I highly recommend blackflag maybe play the pirates of the Caribbean theme song while downloading then go on your adventure my favorite by far it was the final game that felt like the old ones but it was the first with real ship travel and had the best ship experience
I played an hour Valhalla and got so disappointed. I’ve been playing Odyssey for 40h and I love it so much.
I put 100 hours into odyssey and I loved every second of it
@Steven Pounsett ouch...
100? Hahahaha. That’s easy
@@geoffmatero bruh...
Do people not realise that 100 hours is a lot for people who have a life if u have 1000 hours you don’t have to say that 100 hours is little it’s a lot of time for people who don’t play 24/7 just don’t say anything
I got almost to 750 and its still not boring at all
I love Odyssey. I've spent the last few weeks replaying it. So much content, beautiful areas to explore, great stealth mechanics, awesome armor. So much to enjoy. And Kassandra is bomb. Good stuff.
Yea. Im really satisfied with the game evem tho im garbage at fighting lol
I’ve never played it, but am starting it for the first time tomorrow when the 60 fps patch drops on next gen consoles. Looking forward to it after hearing all these reviews.
I love playing all the games instead of just one. The new dlc of valhalla is great. And Odyssey is also great and having fun with it
@@mandrews6282 I did the same thing you did and I am in love with this game. Hwo do you like it so far? It plays like a dream with 60fps its beautifull and I love Kassandra
@@mandrews6282 hows the progression going?
So glad to see it finally getting the recognition it deserves, literally my favorite one.
I started Odyssey like two weeks ago. I'm still blown away at the quality. Reminds me of the witcher 3 in manny ways.
When the pandemic hit I started Odyssey and was blown away. After over 50 hours of play I decided to try Origins as so many spoke of how great it was and also ancient Egypt fascinates me. It was good but imo doesn't compare to Odyssey. The landscape got surprisingly boring rather quickly. Maybe had I played it before Odyssey I would have been more impressed.
Then I tried Valhalla, expecting a more polished game build on the back of Odyssey, it too disappointed in comparison. The combat mechanics didn't feel as smooth to me and I'd agree with all your points about the sailing experience.
Overall Odyssey is polished, engaging and completely engrossing. Whenever I want to play a game that doesn't include multi-player this is my go to. The most immersing game I've played to date. If you have to pick one, I'd highly recommend this be it!
Origins is better. I've said it multiple times, Odyssey has stunning view and Origins too where the vast world and vibrant colors carry the whole game and Odyssey's fighting mechanics are easier than Origins being more polished and also more RPG-friendly but Odyssey sucked with the story.
I don't know how to say this. I'm a history buff and I do like how both games glossed over historical people who made significant changes to society and their culture like Sokrates in Odyssey and Cleopatra & Caesar in Origins but when it comes to actual history tie-ups to the ever changing landscape and the purpose of assassinations which ties back to the name of the game, Origins is better. Like when you play Origins, you help both Caesar & Cleopatra with their ambitions like how you helped George Washington in ACIII in beating the Red Coats whereas in Origins, you're beating Ptolemy XIV's loyalists and that helps the historical aspect of events. In Odyssey, you met Perikles who was the head-of-state for Athens at that time and you don't do much for his ambitions too. It's much like a "hi-bye" affair. Isn't engaging.
Also, in storytelling wise, Origins is better too DESPITE being the 1st game of the trilogy series. It ends with a clean cut and that's it. It gives you an ending that what you want to have and what the protagonist has been planning the entire game has been set. Odyssey is just a mess and a half with multiple endings that doesn't end. You can save your that Spartan "Lion" dad (Whatever his name is...) and still do the ending where you kill last of the Ancients. It doesn't bog or tie it together and yet it's still an ending. Makes no sense at all that it isn't linear.
I'm not bashing the game for bad mechanics as I like Odyssey's mechanics and various side quest that does nothing much to the main storyline but god damn how useless the main quests is that it doesn't do much to the story or ends it on a high.
Origins is way better.
Origins is better.
@@ryugo7713 Odyssey and Origins are still better than Valhalla tho
I really enjoyed 'Origins' but the entire time I was playing it I kept thinking: 'this game would be amazing, if only it had dialogue options and actual choices with consequence'. Then, 'Odyssey' came out and gave me exactly what I was asking for, with gameplay that was so good I actually enjoy combat - and I almost never enjoy combat in games. I had feared, initially, that I'd be bored with Greece because - as an American - I have been inundated with Greek history and mythology all my life; as it turned out, however, it was done so well that it rekindled my interest.
I bought 'Valhalla' purely on the weight of my experience with 'Odyssey' and found it to be all the things I'd feared Odyssey would be - too familiar and soulless in its delivery.
Love that other people also enjoy odyssey. Such a great game. I’m on the road in completing the game 100%.
Epic
Playing a completely different game to I think
I did it and I'm proud of it
Odyssey is seriously underrated. I love the game. It holds its own as a fantasy RPG game. We just need to detach the legacy AC expectations from it.
@@extraordinarymeatbun why should we though. I bought a game with assassins creed on the front cover and I was given a completely different game. It was like they have me the wrong disc. And it’s a shit rpg, go play the Witcher 3 and re evaluate that decision
Top video, I’m new to the series and just finished Valhalla. Was thinking about playing Odyssey you’ve sold it to me.
Hello good sir first id like to tell you you’re doing a good job, second, ive played the 1st ac at launch and a great timethe game felt unique but i was unable to dive in the other ac game after, aniways ive grabbed ac odyssey+ all dlc for 20$ on steam and jesus that experience felt unique, im a huge ancient greece fan and the concept was a dream come true, amazing artwork transmog system is legit fire and the vibe of the game from A to Z is just amazing, alot of interaction and immersion it felt like a triple game. Since i was not expecting nothing because i didnt dive in the older game my opinion was un bias. I played this game not expecting it something it wasn’t, only thing i was expecting tho is being a brutal spartan warrior. And the way you express your opinion is on point. Keep up the good work young man !
1. Odyssey: For its massive land/water map, loot/progression system, story/character arc, fascinating setting, and faction battles.
2. Origins: Same reasons as Odyssey, just no (permanent) ship
3. Valhalla: It's okay, but I enjoyed the Ancient Egypt/Greek settings more. Still gets an 'A' in my book.

it's not a great game it sucks but it's maybe not THAT bad I'll give you that
True, it's the only AC game since AC 2 that I've finished twice. Valhalla is so boring, I just went on with it because I paid money for it and I hoped it'd get better.
Well I hate Oddisey as an ac game , buuuuut the music , the the exploration , the combat , the story was soooo amazing , I almost finished it but my windows started to act like crazy twice , i think it's the only single player game that I put 80-90h in it :))) but for reall , that game it's amazing in fact , and I will play it again that's for sure , vallhala it's ok , but could be better in some instances .....

AC ODYSSEY is the best game ever made. The reason it doesn't vote higher on lists is because gameplay and fun are well over looked in general in all rankings of all games.
I have 100+ plus hours in odyssey including all dlc and have 70+ hours in Valhalla and to me I just enjoyed Valhalla more the problem with odyssey was the story was so drawn out to times I forgot what was my objective or goal and with Valhalla everything was simple and not as much loot so I could enjoy the story with out worrying if I had the best loot or armor I just enjoy simple mechanics other then over the top extra bs in odyssey both are great games I enjoyed them both but I find my self enjoying Valhalla a lot more

Spoiler alert? Cmon dude

Valhalla's story is so lacklustre. I was waiting for the final showdown and final betrayal or revelation with Sigurd and it never actually happened. The whole game turned out to be a huge build-your-settlement side quest, full of running errands and fetch missions for people. Even when u play as Odin, people still have you fetching simple things for them and in general treating you like a messenger. Funny enough, not once did I really use the stealth mechanics in Valhalla-I basically walked through every camp's front gate slashing and hacking. Odyssey on the other hand made me cautious due to the mercenary system.
Agree, plus gear system was way better and the dlcs were just great, I felt sad for Brasidas when he was traped in Tartarus. Hated it when he died and Phoebe.
Nothing like minding your business at sea and Alexander the Wicked pulls up.
On it’s own, odyssey is a beautiful game that takes the Ancient Greek aesthetic and makes you feel like you’re in an adventure through the time. Even though it doesn’t feel like assassins creed, it’s still something you can enjoy to it’s very end
Here are my thoughts:
I was late to AC and the first one I really enjoyed was AC3, I liked AC4 even more and then I didn't play any AC games again for a few years, I missed all of the ones that came after AC4 when they released but in 2022 I decided to try Odyssey and let me tell you.. I was blow AWAY!
I'm personally not stuck in the past about AC, I just want a good game and that is exactly what odyssey is, infact it is one of the best games I've ever played!
Odyssey's environment and architecture is superb, it's beautiful to look at and really captures the feel of ancient Greece.
The plot and story lines are thrilling and engaging! -- I have played rpg's for over a decade and always find myself skipping dialogue, well not in Odyssey I don't! The quests are fun and interesting, they are totally unpredictable and they are very well written. And yes I was really disappointed with ending of the Legacy of the first blade DLC and am still annoyed about it but besides the naf ending I enjoyed the rest of the DLC.
Then on top of that there is the matter of Alexios and Kassandra, the voice actors are great! The development of those characters is amazing, the delivery of the lines is brilliant and I don't know how ubisoft did it but from the beginning they really had me engaged with what happened (when Alexios/Kassandra was happy I was happy), (when they were sad, I was sad), (when they were angry I was angry), (when they had been treated poorly I was annoyed and wanted justice and revenge).
The ship combat is brilliant too, the mechanics of the whole thing have been shaken up, different lieutenants, weapons, upgrades, themes and design the way the ship works is great and the acquisition of the Adrestia is funny and engaging too 🐐👁 and tied into the main storyline nicely.
The side characters are all great too; Phoibe, Hippokrares, Sokrates, Herodotos, Perokles, Markos, Myrrine, Nikolaos, DEIMOS!, Barnabas, BRASIDAS!!, Kira and the list keeps going and going and going!!
MY THOUGHTS ON ACV
Yes some of it is pretty nice to look at but it is trying to include older AC elements but they don't work, the whistling sucks, the parkour is unbearably slow and janky, the combat and movement is unbearably slow too (people have this misconception that vikings are big lumbering oafs, this is not true. You don't win battles by being a big lumbering oaf because when you fight someone that is smaller and quicker like Achilles for eg he will pick you apart and annihilate you)!
As for Eivor I really don't care. He is dry, lacks charisma and takes himself too seriously ("bEcAuSe He Is a ViKinG" shut uuuup) I don't care about the fact his family died because there was no character development they were boring and weak, I don't care about sigurd or anyone else from the clan.. It is sooo boring and don't even get me started on the headache which is also know as the skill tree... 🙄
I’m glad to finally see someone else who feels the same way I do about Odyssey. I’ve spent the entire life of this game defending it.
It’s still a grabage assassins creed game and that’s not subjective
@@spam_1224 but that’s an opinion, the definition of subjective, because I enjoy it and think it’s a great game
@@slabpanda Objectively, the 3 latest RPG entries are very far from AC. Whether the game is good or not is an opinion, but the aspects of AC in those 3 games are weak; social stealth, movement, combat, etc.
With those in mind, objectively the 3 games are simply not in line with what AC has been established to be. But again, whether or not it's good is subjective
1500 hours in odyssey
@@zicuvalentin2251 I'm not there yet; I just bought the game in Jan 2021, but I'm catching up (643 hrs). It is the best all around game I've ever played. Between Odyssey and HZD, I probably won't need to get a new game until someone actually makes something good again; (not counting Horizon Forbidden West since that is pretty much a shoe in, I'm just not buying a console so I can play it - I'll wait the 3 years for the PC drop if they actually hold back release for that long again).
Valhalla was a slog, felt like chore, and was not fun. So many games get into the 'not fun' category these days. Makes me wonder wtf these devs/designers are smoking. I had to force myself to play Valhalla and took away not a single lasting memory of it other than the 5 minute plot to facilitate the staff changing hands. This whole thing boiled down to getting rid of Layla and allowing Loki to take the staff... Why would the staff even allow this? Because the writers have lost their way or lost their damn minds...
Note: Kassandra's body did not disintegrate... could there be hope or was it just simply not in the animation budget. lol
I’m definitely going to play Odyssey again
S bro..my favourite game..i miss those days 2018..i want play it again ❤
I LOVED Odyssey. The world is so beautifully detailed. I absolutely love Ancient Greece and am so happy that Ubisoft put so much love into recreating that world. I remember being so excited for this leading up to it, bought it right at launch, and am STILL playing it to this day haha I just started a new playthrough the other day. I tried waiting to play through Valhalla before going back to odyssey but I just couldn’t get through it. I liked Origins too but it just didn’t hit home for me.
I’m also part of the group that doesn’t mind the move away from the originals. I like progression and evolution in franchises that grow stale over time. I liked the original AC games back when they launched but nothing has hooked me like Odyssey haha. A little sad that so many people don’t like it but meh, it does nothing to change my enjoyment of it.
Of course we, as humans, are allowed to change our opinions and the way we feel over time. Feels ridiculous to even have to say it
It’s 2023 and idc what ppl say about this game. The world is gorgeous!! The enemies are smart and whenever you shoot an arrow at them, they go to the location where they were shot from and they’ll still keep looking around even if you’re not caught. I like how you don’t get caught right away by enemies. This is something we need in Mirage.
Valhalla has ONE option in the skill tree that matters: Have your raven bring you the loot. Nice feature. :)
"Odyssey is a good game, but a bad Assassin's Creed game"
Agreed.
I honestly loved this game, I just tried my hardest not to think about the Assassins Creed title and had a blast. Tbh played it waaaaayy more than I thought I would and Honestly would like to go back and play all the DLC
I bought ac odyssey after I watched this video thinking that I will not like it, it’s one of the best games I played in-terms of gameplay and story, thanks for the review jayvee❤
i really liked odyssey. i played it long enough ago for it to feel nostalgic and that's how it feels to me. the music, the characters, the tone especially is what i love. i dont want a gritty tone, i want to feel happy and smile while i play a game and that is what odyssey was to me.
Normally, I do want a grittier tone, but 'Odyssey' stole my heart, regardless.
Me too same feeling 1500 hours in odyssey
This game was just different this music, the sea tunes, storyline, it all went right
So basically ac4
I’ve recently picked up the assassins creed games again and I’m doing a play through. Currently on Syndicate and I barely made an hour into it last time and I’m on 20+ hours already and really enjoying it. I think you’re right about changes to yourself massively affect your viewpoints of games
He forgot to mention that Odyssey's map is the largest in all the games in the series and still a beauty to explore!
But the most unrealistic thing BY FAR is after playing RDR2 you will be shocked with the phobos's mechanics.. Feels like riding a big mountain goat the way the horse climbs up 80 degrees 😅😂🤣
Amazing, I finally found a CZcams that appreciates odyssey. 9/10 for me I hope the same team is working on the next assassin creed release.

I was that one friend that kept defending it by saying that it was an amazing ancient Greece inspired rpg, but not a good “assassin’s” game. I just recommended it as an rpg, and told everyone to ignore the name.
Personally I think Odyssey is the best game of the 3 newest entries with Origins being second and Valhalla being last. Ancient Greece is a more interesting time period and a cooler landscape to explore than medieval England. I never got bored with Odyssey and I’ve replayed it several times because it’s a fun game as a whole and the RPG elements can give you different plot points like if you kill Nikolaus or pick the wrong dialogue options with your sibling, you don’t get any of that in Valhalla. I played Valhalla at launch and after about 30 hours of gameplay I found myself asking how much more of this do I have to do? It’s a boring game.
Odyssey was a gorgeous game that I just wished it never ended. The environments, the characters (Kassandra is my favourite AC character right along with Ezio), the music and the whole vibe made the game so immersive and just...sublime! Also me being Greek and watching all those historical figures and ancient Greek Culture i was taught in school come to life was such a special experience
I love Kassandras voice actor and her dialogue. Alexios voice work is just meh
@@TheRedRaven_ I've gotta say this. I've played all if them in Russian from AC3 and on. Then in some videos I caught the English dub. In a few by now, Origins and Odyssey. There's one thing in Skyrim to have some guards make fun of Arnold's Barbarian movies and his accent. It's another to freaking ruin each by having those mock Greek/Egyptian immigrants in each and every scene! The Russian version has them sound as natives it's 1000 times better! If it was only in English, I guess I'd get used to it, but I'm glad I don't have to. Again Armand Asante has an accent in Odyssey. And in all his movies. None others do. It's plain nuts. I felt it added nothing to those games, and to an immigrant fighting to pronounce English properly it's just mega annoying.
Nearly every mission is stupidly boring and repetitive. The voice actors are horrible and somehow they mention to f up the in game combat.
@@minko3786 Lol no one cares dude, why are you spamming this on all my comments? XD
That you are a Greek means nothing. I am too, yet I absolutely loath this game. Not only is it not an AC game, it is not even historical. That is not Classic Period Ancient Greece, but a Pseudo-historical and Mythological Fantastical representation of how the West sees Ancient Greece in RPG!
I honestly love Odyssey. I also loved the old games, but for me the thing I love most about AC is exploring the past and the characters, so I'm actually happy that the present conflict takes up so little space in the newer games. I was very conscious of the critique going into the game, but gave it a chance because Greek legends and myths is something I couldn't pass with AC. I ended up having so much fun exploring and playing and I'd love to see more like it from the AC games. This is a game I will come back to many times in the future.
Damn....finally i found the falcon's voice... you are awesome dude..love your narration... keep up the good work...
