My opinion is that this game is overhated for no reason. I recently completed the main story, having also completed a variety of side quests. The truth is, yes, the game is massive and if you are not willing to put at least 35-40 hours to it then it is not for you. But other than this, I found this game to be stunning in every other way. The world is amazingly made (also massive witch means that you have A LOT of exploring to do), a combination of beautiful sceneries in nature and lots of big ancient cities like Athens, Argos, Korinthos etc. The graphics are also insane, better than many of the recent games. Storywise, I have seen many complaints but personally I found the plot to be really interesting. As a Greek myself, I was glad to be able to participate in events that we were literally taught at school (Yes, the game contains a variety of historical event and well known characters). The dialogue was fun and it made the main character very likeable to me. What I have noticed is people getting mad that "It is not similar to previous assassins creed games" and this is the mistake that will prevent you from enjoying the game. Do not expect to play anything similar to the Ezio trilogy for example. If you have played other AC games before (witch I have, I am a big fan of AC), try to perceive AC Odyssey as another type of game completely and don't let your expectations ruin your experience. At the end of the day, Odyssey is a very well made game, big enough to keep you interested for months, with amazing graphics and a unique story set in Ancient Greece. There is so much to do and, so many historical figures to meet, so many beautiful places to explore, along with a fun combat system and a variety of cool items like weapons and armor to collect. I strongly suggest that you give AC Odyssey a chance and do not listen to the unnecessarily negative reviews.
