The backdrop and story starts with Leonidas and the 300. You remember that great movie from around 10 year ago Well, this opening literally just sets you off with a combat tutorial wielding a spear and killing Persians.

So far, the game is excellent. Easy to play. More open world. I like Assassins Creed games and Odyssey adds to that.

Similar to Origins but greatly expanded upon. This world is massive and engaging. With hours upon hours of gameplay already, I haven't even uncovered an eighth of the map. Black flag style gameplay is key in Odyssey, even to reach far away islands.

I bought this for my son recently and he really loves it

Easily the best Assassin's Creed title to date, Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes everything Origins overhauled and improving on it, adding in fan favourite gameplay elements, introducing an amazing, huge world, and, most importantly it's a heck of a good time… but … the shadow that hangs over it...

After a year off, the Assassin's Creed franchise returned in 2017 with the excellent Assassin's Creed Origins. Origins recast the series as a single-player action role-playing game (RPG), moving away from the pure stealth-action of previous titles, while still retaining the vast open-world and...

Similar to how 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag only felt like a traditional entry in the Assassin's Creed series by virtue of the logo that appears on the screen once the game boots up, Assassin's Creed Odyssey could basically ditch the Assassin's Creed title altogether and be none the worse...

The greatest shame of Assassin's Creed Odyssey is that there's still a fair amount to like about it. It is an often beautiful looking game with some spectacular moments dotted throughout its longwinded story. Its failure to sustain and emphasize those moments feels like a failure of editing.
