    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]

      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 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.

      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 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...

    • @Delinae
      @Delinae Před 3 lety +26

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    • @MrLolx2u
      @MrLolx2u Před 2 lety +57

      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.

      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.

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.

    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.

  • @twuntsworth7203
    @twuntsworth7203 Před rokem +1

    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... 🙄

      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 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.

    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.

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 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.
