the simple requirement to lock games that i bought on steam, to another ubisoft account cost me hundrets of dollars. Just because Ubisoft as a company in its entirety, is a collective pile of ♥♥♥♥. in 2019 i moved to another country and forgot to link my new phonenumber to the 2stepverification in ubisoft connect (i know thats on me), but even with every single proof of purchase ubisoft refuses to help me claim back …

I came for the assassins. Stayed for the world. Odyssey is one of those games where you tell yourself “just one quest”… well and suddenly it’s 3 a.m. Beautiful open world, solid combat, and an absurd amount of content. Not perfect, but dangerously immersive. Worth playing if you like exploration and getting lost on purpose.

A Beautiful World Stretched Too Thin I finished Assassin's Creed Odyssey after ~120 hours, including the 3 main Odyssey storylines and the Korfu epilogue. My experience is positive, but only mildly so. This is a very good-looking, pleasant game with enormous production values, a likeable protagonist, and a wonderful setting. But there's not enough gameplay depth or variety to sustain its own size. 120 Hours of …

👍 RECOMMENDED (9/10) Basically "The Witcher 3" but in Ancient Greece. The World: Ancient Greece is absolutely stunning. The map is massive, and every island feels like a postcard. Sailing the Adrestia while your crew sings sea shanties is a whole vibe. The Hero: Play as Kassandra. Her voice acting is S-tier, and she’s easily one of the best protagonists in the entire series. No cap. Combat & RPG: It’s fast, flashy, …

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a breathtaking, expansive journey through ancient Greece. The world design is stunningly vibrant, filled with gorgeous landscapes and historic landmarks. Naval combat returns in spectacular fashion, making Aegean Sea exploration incredibly satisfying. The shift towards full RPG mechanics provides deep, rewarding customization for weapons and abilities. Hunting down the secretive Cult of …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Assassin's Creed Odyssey received "generally favorable" reviews from critics according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Most critics agreed that Odyssey is a successful transformation for the series from stealth games to action role-playing games. The open world was generally praised; writing for GamesRadar, Sam Loveridge applauded the design of Greece and enjoyed the sense of exploration. Loveridge described the sidequests in Odyssey as a significant improvement when compared with previous installments in the series. In particular, he enjoyed how lengthy and polished some of the side quests are, adding that they became indistinguishable from the main quests. Alessandro Fillari from…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin's Creed? No. Ancient Greek Demigod Simulator? Yes. I bought this game to be a stealthy assassin in the shadows. 50 hours later: I am wearing flaming armor, wielding a poison trident, and I just Sparta-kicked a mercenary off a cliff while riding a unicorn. The Odyssey Experience: Stealth: Optional. Why stab quietly when you can set the entire fort on fire? History: Accurate, until you fight a Minotaur. Dialogue: 50% Philosophy, 50% "Malaka." Romance: You can flirt…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Go easy or normal difficulty, disable the entire HUD, ignore every quest except the main story and do tourism around the ancient greece until you are satisfied, that should be your goal in this game and the best experience you will get. Dont fall in the trap of doing every quest, explore every corner, reach every level and kill every enemy, the gameloop is not complex enough to engage all the hours a map this big requires.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know how I haven't written a review for this yet but this game is the first AC game I have played (as a girly I always thought these games we're too masc for me to ever play so I never touched them LOL, but I'm so glad I did). I LOVE assassinating in this game, I would spend a good 30 mins just wiping out a whole fort stealthfully. The graphics are *stunning* and I love that you can choose playing two different characters for the storyline. I personally picked Kassandra (how could I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The video game version of an unputdownable book or a delicious cake that you wish you'd never finished eating. Assassin's creed Odyssey is easily one of the best open world rpg games in recent times. It's repetition done right. A flawed masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game two days ago and still cant play it because Ubisoft wont let me create an account. Yea man, i think its a good system to not let me play a game if im not connected to a stupid account.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game has everyting to make it THE BEST game. but somehow ubisoft finds a way to make the player experience become so boring long repeateble with the broken leveling system to make sure you play it the boring way. so what? so you can buy stuff for the single player experience. YES so you can buy stuff at the in game shop for a fckin single player game. OH MY GOD.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AC Odyssey Alexios - Kassandra 431 BC - 422 BC (Athena - Sparta) Great Game ✅ Story ✅ Graphics ✅ Soundtrack ✅ Overall: 10/10 ✅ This game is amazing with its beautiful world. It's not just a game, it's a masterpiece. I feel like I want to play it again and again. But what can I do, there are so many other games waiting to be completed. Maybe someday, if possible, I'll play it again on New Game+
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sigh... the biggest problem this game has is that it spoils you for other games. At 253hrs this will be my third playthrough and I know that once I finish it the comedown is going to be horrendous again. Ubisoft hit the jackpot with whoever they had in their amazingly gifted Quebec dev team. I wish every game was as well put together as this one. The problem is that it spoils you so much. It's everything you want on a plate. Beautifully written quests. A flying spotter eagle high in the sky…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful and immersive open-world games I have ever played. From the very first moment you step into ancient Greece, the game overwhelms you with its stunning visuals and breathtaking world design. The landscapes are so gorgeous that I genuinely have over 80 screenshots saved just of nature alone—sunsets over the Aegean Sea, dense forests, towering mountains, peaceful islands, and vibrant cities that feel alive. Every region…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have tried to like this game because I loved the earlier Assassin's Creed games. However, I just can't enjoy the gameplay on it. The previous AC games needed a better combat system and Ubisoft has built that. The combat is better. But now that they've built it, they want to use it and have designed the game to be about combat rather than stealth and assassination. It's functionally just a role-playing game. As part of this Ubisoft added levels, hit points, and damage amounts. There was a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Odyssey will forever be one of my favorite AC games. I have finished the main game twice non-steam and finally decided to get that platinum. While it may not be a traditional AC game and strays further from previous titles' gameplay, Ubisoft has tried something new with Odyssey and absolutely cooked. While I enjoyed playing Origins, this game hits different. For me, Origins felt kinda empty at times (especially in the endgame) but I never had that feeling playing Odyssey. The game is huge, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(6/10) This game, like most Assassin's Creed games I've played, is boring as hell. This game is a perfect depiction of the phrase "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle". --- The bad --- It may have 1 quadrutrillion quests and a main quest that lasts 50 hours. Few of them are actually worth doing. The stories are rarely interesting and the gameplay is repetitive as ♥♥♥♥. "Go here, kill this guy, come back". The open world is massive. It's also very empty and non-interactable. The NPCs are all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game comes on sale for 85% off all the time, please pick it up, and give it a go. You won't be disappointed I promise you. It's my favourite game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RPG or not, AC game or not, this is my favorite AC game, vast of land, vast of quests, much things to do, challenging and enjoyment while playing 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastic game that I thoroughly recommend, very enjoyable and likable protagonists HOWEVER.. - The talking just drones on.. side quests, main story, random NPCs like ugh they just talk way to much for me to genuinely care - RPG element is just stupid but still got through it - NEVER clear every island before moving to the next cos damn I had to take a multi-month break before finishing the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I've never had this many issues getting a game to run. Ubisoft connect is hot ass
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game. God knows I've spent enough time in it but I just cant recommend it. First things, the good stuff: It's very very pretty. Walking along a beach at dawn/dusk or sailing the Aegean during a storm can be genuinely stunning at times and reaching a viewpoint almost always comes with an impressive view of the world. And the world is massive. People criticise Ubisoft open worlds a lot but they do have a talent for it and the little details I feel often go overlooked.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am already nostalgic for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I played it in 2019, when I was 17 years old. The world of Odyssey is massive on a colossal scale! I have completed the entire game, including the DLC's, these are also really awesome, especially the Atlantis DLC. The story is pretty good, but the gameplay is where it is at in Odyssey. There is a big range of different playstyles, with many different abilities that you can equip and upgrade as you progress in the game. Odyssey is set in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game and a long one. The world design is really good, the locations and the details put into them make them alive. The combat is solid, and the music fits really well. As for the story, it felt like an extension of a sandbox game, there were some good moments. The ending of the family storyline felt really anticlimactic, I wanted more since the game focuses on that and the Cult storyline, which i enjoyed more. The DLCs are really good, especially the Atlantis one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a long-time Assassin's Creed fan, I know this game's story leaves a lot to be desired. The gameplay experience is spectacular, though (after you narrow down the proper gameplay and graphics settings that suit your computer), and the right combination of gear and abilities make this game a proper demigod experience. Make no mistake, though: this is a Greek demigod power fantasy RPG first, and an Assassin's Creed game second. Around the thirty hour mark, I stopped treating it as an Assassin's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hours and hours of gameplay, great game. stunning open world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every new player should spend one or two hundred hours experiencing a formula games--from delicious to disgusting. It gives you a fresh perspective on a fundamental question: In a game, what truly matters--gameplay, or scale and graphics? I still remember the awe I felt in the first hour of Odyssey, standing before the huge statue of Zeus. I was excitingly climb on his hand ,take a lot of photo. I can also remember the impressive scenery of the Athens and Atlantis. BUT, I equally remember the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the 2nd entry in the ac mythology trilogy. Unlike the older games, it dials back the assassin fantasy by makin it just 1 of 3 playstyles alongside hunter and warrior. That means in plenty of situations, a stealth attack wont 1-shot an enemy, which really killed the vibe for me. True to Ubi form, its packed with endless forts and camps to clear, which gets bored fast. That said, the technical craftsmanship here is insane. Just ridin ur horse thru the world is a visual feast. The addition…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a beautiful game, loved it Beautifully massive map to explore so many things to do The combat is good it was fun especially the legendary animals. Killing the cults is fun and satisfying. The music is good suits very well The abilities are very good and fun. Personally I loved the skill where you can jump from any height and get no damage and the skill where you do a stealth kill the body disappears and some bow and arrow skills. Additionally you can enhance them in the fate of atlantis.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know which one is more tedious, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ubisoft launcher that doesn't work half the time or the terrible grindy game design as Ubisoft in its great wisdom decided to add microtransactions to a singleplayer game and made the game just frustrating enough to push you into buying them. The game is fun and the world is gorgeous, but if you are dedicated to playing this game I recommend you get one of those mods that allow you to modify enemy health multipliers - unless you're planning…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has to be the most overhated game in the history of AC games. Although it might not feel like an AC game to everyone, it's still worth picking up whenever it's on sale. As I said previously, it's not the best AC game, but it is an awesome RPG. It has an absolutely giant, marvelous map. There are tons of customizable weapons, armor, abilities and playstyles. It also has multi-choice dialogues, which is a thing a lot of modern games lack. I personally loved both the main story and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clearing out a fort/camp > Climbing up to a sync point > killing target > fetch something > boarding enemy ship > Repeat. Where to start, I actually enjoyed the game when I first started playing it however, it is a very long game with lots of side quests and missions. You can easily spend 50-100+ hours trying to complete the main storylines and side quests. The world is beautiful, and they did a good job portraying ancient Greece. I just wish the world was more interactive with things like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best AC in the franchise in my opinion, it doesn't get much better than this. If you want to jump into Assassin's Creed for the first time absolutely buy this over Shadows as that game is a terrible representation of the AC series.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome world design (again)! Better combat in this game IMO comparing to the prev one. I repeat: AC Odyssey and AC Origins are GREAT.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic Game, it offers a vast and immersive open world set in . The game's meticulously crafted map allows for extensive exploration of historical locations, from the sun-drenched islands of the Aegean to the rugged mountains of mainland Greece. The ship design is particularly noteworthy, offering a visually stunning and genuinely enjoyable sailing experience. The graphics on PC are exceptionally well-realized, with detailed environments, impressive character models, and breathtaking vistas…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best titles in the AC series, definitely worth spending some hours discovering and sailing...I just re-installed the game a few years later and heading for the season pass :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is basically not an assassin's creed game and there are some repetitive ubislop elements but overall great action rpg, crazy amount of content, dialogue is fun and entertaining, game does a fantastic job of making you feel like a badass with visceral kill animations. Great immersion as a dirtbag greek mercenary who kills people for money. The landscapes are quite beautiful. (Also there is a lot of gay sex, its ancient greece what did you expect) 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Odyssey is the first AC game that I’ve played all the way through to 100%. Exploring the world felt like a Greek vacation where I somehow kept getting distracted by beautiful views instead of finishing the main quest.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin's Creed Odyssey isn't the typical assassin-style game, it's more like Ancient Greek DemiGod, with plenty RPG elements, but still a good game. The Good: World design - beautiful Ancient Greek Huge amount of content Plenty of items and sets that offer opportunity to build the character the way you want The DLC's bosses and upgrades are better than the main game The Bad: Very repetitive over its full length Upgrading costs (ship/items) too high The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good RPG experience with a HUGE explorable map! I liked the overall theme of the story and felt like I did go on a huge adventure exploring new islands and monuments and points of interest. The game can get a little on the grindy side with enemies becoming damage sponges in the late game chapters. Being able to sail the open seas gave me plenty of enjoyment and kept me invested in what was waiting for me when I discovered new locations. Overall its one of the better games in the series and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, I picked it up at release and didn't have as much fun as I did playing it now I'm from greek roots so I understand whatever the background npcs are saying, and the greek translations and accents are really good and faithful to what you would bump into in Greece, obv it's faaaar from a replica of the accent ancient greeks had but that would sound weird as hell Of course there's some inaccuracies regarding the Historical material that surrounds the game but in all due respect I don't…

positive · AI labelView post →Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is one of the best games ever made. Its recreation of ancient Greece is stunning, with remarkable architecture and a vast, immersive world full of things to explore. The DLCs feel like entirely new games, adding even more depth and content. As someone who played the older Assassin’s Creed titles, I see this as the true evolution of the franchise—the peak of Assassin’s Creed. I’ve played it three times (2018, 2020, and now), and it’s still just as engaging. For fans of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft's open-world masterpiece...it's all downhill from here folks! First, let me say that as a huge ancient history nerd, and a CS grad who may as well have minored in classical studies while I was there, this game goes above and beyond delivering everything I could hope for in a recreation of Classical Greece aka Hellas during the Peloponnesian War: You get to run around the ancient temples and monuments, roam the forums and alleys, climb all the acroplises, wine and dine with Socrates and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, If you like Open World games and like Greek Myths and Legends then this is a great game. If you don't then trust me, this is still a great game. Play it and experience the story, combat and NPCs yourself, don't let bad reviews affect your decision too soon. Would recommend! (100% was a tiny bit bloated tho.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty good RPG if you think of it as a standalone RPG and not an assassins creed game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/582160/Assassins_Creed_Origins/] Assassin's Creed® Origins had in my opinion a better story, environment and gameplay experience but Odyssey is almost as good and still a fun entry in the franchise. it gets pretty repetative fast, but works good as gaming junk food if you don't know what to play but just want to relax and kill time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the biggest strengths of Odyssey is its breathtaking recreation of Ancient Greece. From Athens to Sparta, from sunny islands to dense forests, the world feels alive. Every region has personality — political conflicts, myths, wars, and side stories everywhere. The scale is massive. And I mean MASSIVE. At times it feels overwhelming, but if you're the kind of gamer who loves getting lost in exploration, this is paradise. ⚔️ Combat & Gameplay Combat is fast, ability-driven, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah yeah, we get it it's not really an Assassin's game for some of you, but listen; you get to know what inspired the Templars, you meet the first hidden blade in DLC & you explore a lot of ISU side of how things were run by them. Just put on the easiest difficulty if you want to enjoy the story, but if you want challenge nightmare is the way to go, boss fights are very challenging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate that I love this game. Do note that game is very very veeeeeery long even if you are jobless like me,it's gonna take you months to explore everything in the game. It's not an assassins creed but more of an adventures of a Greek mercenary as you go around exploring and helping. Story is quite good,mysterious with each chapter though last chapter of good ending felt a teen wrote it who got into slice of life anime genre. Characters are best written ones I seen in an assassins creed…

Overall great game with some quirks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an Assasisn's Creed game, well it doesn't play like one but that's okay. Why? This one is different enough to stand as it's own title and game outside of the AC franchise. But as a ancient greece Witcher clone? Nah, It's amazing even as an action RPG on its own it holds up really well. Exploring ancient Greece is such a treat and it's highly detailed both graphicly and content wise. The world is full of beautiful locales that capture the essance and beauty of ancient Greece perfectly. I…
