So big The Witcher 3 wants a rest. This is an epic told with flair, coupled with one of the liveliest open worlds on PlayStation 4. Odyssey is not just the best Assassin’s Creed in years, but one of the finest action RPGs you’ll play. [Issue#155, p.72]
The world of Odyssey is the most versatile and fun yet in Assassin's Creed, offering distinctive storytelling, great variety of combat gameplay and exciting exploration.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is big and beautiful. Could it be a much better game? Sure. But it's an amazing adventure with echoes of the Greek classic tales about travels and fantasy.
Fans who arrive at Odyssey expecting the Assassin’s Creed experience they grew up with may be disappointed or confused, but gamers ready for a new era for the franchise should plan to be overwhelmed with opportunity.
Odyssey is no doubt the biggest game in the Assassin's Creed series, and could easily be considered the best one. Unfortunately the efforts to reshape an action game into an RPG were only partially successful. Ubisoft already checked off everything from a great atmosphere and a gigantic map to some cool gameplay mechanics, but narration and moral choices still do not deliver - Witcher 3 is still miles ahead.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey features a rich, lush world lessened by its repetitive activities. Though the main story is compelling, completing it requires you to participate in a massive amount of level grinding through less-than-stellar side quests. There’s plenty to do in this world, but a lot of it feels like busy work that fights to stay exciting or compelling. Odyssey is yet another open world game that misinterprets the meaning of more content.
This is such a beautiful looking game, the world design is spectacular, but it could've been so much more.
I absolutely love the setting, exploring the lands of ancient Greece feels amazing, but the Open World itself is very shallow, and even though I liked some side quests, it really got repetitive near the end. I enjoyed the gameplay though, it's fun and there's a surprising amount of abilities and weapons to unlock, and the RPG elements are pretty decent, there is a lot of customization.
When it comes to the story, I didn't really expect much, it's just a basic family drama, however, seeing all the famous ancient Greek people in the game was very exciting.
The amount of dialogue choices surprised me, it feels like a proper RPG through and through, which I really like, but at times, it feels like the game is trying its best to ruin your enjoyment.
The leveling system is undeniably the worst leveling system I've ever seen, it makes no sense at all, and completely butchers the pacing.
Ubisoft is devoid of any logic when it comes to game design, why does every mission scale with my level, but new missions are always higher level than me even when I spend hours grinding to level up? The game forces the player to engage with the boring side content, you can't just enjoy the main story at your own pace.
Also the mercenary system is genuinely broken, the fact that multiple mercenaries can attack you during main story quests, boss fights, and even cutscenes, represents everything that's wrong with Ubisoft's atrocious game design.
There is absolutely no reason for this game to have all these easily avoidable flaws, because there's genuinely a great game buried underneath all the junk, but even with all the flaws, the game is better than the sum of its parts, and the fact that I would play for hours and I couldn't put my controller down should tell you how much fun it can be sometimes.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.
El sistema de progreso convierte el juego en un puñetero trabajo. El guion y las cinemáticas son absurdas. ¡Pero por lo menos ahora puedes no usar la visión de Batman!
(Opinion General)My opinion about this game is super unpleasant the experience I had playing it, I'm mentally making an effort to finish the game and unlock all the achievements of it.- I'm a huge fan of open world games where the game is focused on history and the style is medieval fantasy, but this one managed to surprise me on the negative side and I'm really sorry for the 15 euros I spent buying it, it's not worth the money they ask for it , I can't understand how anyone likes this type of game, which is a total abomination to the Assassin Creed franchise, I think some people are losing track of what a good game is and what makes it good and graphics are not everything.(Experience will gaming)+ Positive (Good)(World)The level of detail, the setting in general of open worlds made by Ubisoft I am referring to more recent games, they are very well crafted and beautiful, in this we have to take our hat off.(Cutscenes)The cutscenes are also great, they are reproduced at 30fps with excellent quality, I would prefer a thousand times that the game was based on an action movie where you could make your choices. Since the previous model is bad at all levels.- Negative points (Bad)I love games that contain a suspenseful story, drama and action and this game managed to demolish these concepts in a negative way.(Game History, Main Quest and Side Quest)(Main Quest)The game's story in general is the worst annoyance I've ever experienced in a game, it doesn't have any emotional weight as if the story has no soul and doesn't convey the proper feeling when being told to us **** story is understandable even the main quest is very short the only thing that makes the game time consuming is the absurd size of the entire map because they put you doing a quest 10 thousand km away from where you are.(Side Quests)The typical let's go there we have nothing to do so let's add more missions for the player to walk backwards doing absolutely nothing. Boring 100%(Dialogue and Writing Character)What can I say about the game's voice acting, authentic cavemen without any soul in the interpretation of the roles that the characters should have, the expressions of the lines are super out of sync with the non-existent facial expressions on the NPCs.Just for that, it takes away all the immersiveness that the game could have and doesn't have, the lines that the characters have when interacting with the main character are bad, it seems to have been written by a 10 year old **** gets worse when we enter death scenes, reunion with some character from your family that you haven't seen for I don't know how many years and the voice actors are trying to force an emotional and sad scene, but the representation is so mediocre that the characters at a certain point seem like they are laughing.(Micro-transactions in a Single Player game)Since Asssassin Creed Unity (I think it's this one) had co-op filled the whole game full of micro transactions, it doesn't make any **** to mention the cosmetics and accessories they give you in expansions that stay in the inventory and you can't remove it and another reason that takes away the immersiveness and the concept of level **** shouldn't exist in any game in any expansion to give players "legendary" "ops" or "strong" items and I think it should be more the player's intent to play to get those items that can have a positive impact on **** horses all pretty, with fire and wings is overkill.(Combat and Skills)I have to say that I get an aneurysm playing with this game's combat, I can say that I prefer The Witcher's buggy combat a thousand times over Odyssey's combat, there's no fun going around hitting npc's and using mediocre skills.- The skills that are available are as simplistic as possible, creativity died at the beginning of the game's production, first Assassin's Creed should be a game focused only on Stealh and not direct combat.(Relationships with Characters)During the game you will find npc that you can interact lovingly and sexually, of course there was no shortage **** in the middle of the 20th century where I have to do with LGBT content in the face and where they put several quests from guys asking my character if they want to do bad actions in bed, Of course I was happy to refuse all proposals and kill the npc.Worry about making games in conditions than worrying about adding relationships, failed attempts at sexual interactions with the character like fornicating with old women and the opposite sex to sympathize with a portion of the target audience I'm surprised they didn't put them fornicating with animals. .. Baldur Gate already did it let's see what will happen in the next game.I'll still add some more criticisms to the game for now, that's all I have to say now. Don't buy me this for God's sake at the price they ask for this is only worth 10 euros, and the game really seems to have been made in a hurry.
I have played through this game twice now. Both times it felt like a pure chore to endure. The main story is far from captivating, the world is full of tedious repetitive location objectives, and fetch quests. It’s bloated, and a pure slog. I may have originally wanted to give it a 5 or 6, due to how beautiful the graphics are. Additionally, the discovery tour is awesome. Worth picking up on an extremely discounted sale to check out some of the environments, but this game is far from the amazing ratings some of the incredibly obvious paid for professional reviews have it. The positive reviews for this will age like milk.
