Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (2018 Video Game) User Reviews

Great game!

[erikssonjohan · 9/10 · 31 December 2020]

Really enjoyed playing AC Odyssey! If not for the fun of playing a great game but it's also feel good to just roam in the beautiful Mediterranean setting!

Good gameplay, awful story.

[uaxpasha · 7/10 · 26 June 2019]

It's enjoyable to play ACO if you will ignore story and especially dialogs. Amazing level design, good gameplay, nice graphics, not bad voices. But man, that story so flat, it sucked almost like Justice league. And the dialog even more, absolutely horrible and very poorly written. The idea with cultist very good. And dialogs and choices are horrible and useless. Too many historical persons with flat personality, would be better to have one two but more interesting and deeper character.

Beautiful game with the storytelling of a 4-year old

[public2-627-810893 · 7/10 · 19 April 2020]

Well-designed game, but the dialogues and story arc make you wish it was over sooner rather than later. Nothing is missed by skipping them.

This Game Is Everything and More

[ankaronline · 10/10 · 6 February 2021]

I am not a pro gamer, nor do I play video games on a regular basis but I could not help but appreciate all the hard work and care the developers and actors of AC: Odyssey put into this creation. For someone who had been enjoying reading about Ancient Greece and all the myths and legends surrounding that period, this game delivers an unforgettable immersive experience. I am grateful to everyone at Ubisoft who helped bring (in my case) Alexios's story to life. I loved every minute of 200+ hours I spent playing the game and its DLCs to the point that I did not want it to end. The ease of movements, engaging weapon and gear system, cool abilities, gorgeous locations, truly all-climbable obstacles and the seamless interconnectivity of it all throughout the progression of the game deserve the utmost recognition. I am grateful for all the choices I was given a chance to make, for the moments of awe, laughter and tears I have experienced. Keep up the great work, Ubisoft Quebec!

8 hours in, haven't gotten bored once.

I haven't played an Assassins Creed game since Black Flag, so I saw Odyssey was on sale for cheap and decided to get it. It hasn't let me down once. I love the story, it's easy to keep track of and lets you explore the open world between tasks, building up the in game world just that much more. The combat system is nicely done, if you get down the timing on dodging or blocking then you should have no problem with most of the enemy's. It never forces you into a difficulty and you can turn it higher or lower whenever you like. Happy playing!

What happened?

[scooter1061 · 10/10 · 16 December 2018]

This game is a masterpiece, massively awesome. Less than a month ago, this game had a 9.1 rating on this site, now it has an 8.3, what happened? Did Red Dead fans want to hate on it because they didn't win Game if the year? Or people just hating on it?

Awesome

[pm-griffiths-956-445192 · 10/10 · 16 December 2018]

What an awesome and amazing game! Massive open world with no end of exploring and interactions. Great game design and attention to detail. And when you set game difficulty to hard they deliver. And the mercs are a great challenge and very rewarding when defeated. Now one of my favs. Strongly recommended.

Perfect

[billheadings · 10/10 · 8 October 2021]

No complaints game was better than expected. Story was entertaining, gameplay was fun, and game was long which i enjoyed.

Great game

[xxxNomadicxxx · 10/10 · 5 October 2018]

Great story line and game play. You almost forget that you're playing Assassins Creed, it' more of an adventure quest (depending on the mode you pick) from start to finish. The fighting style is smoother than the last and the abilities list is very dynamic to fit your fighting style.

This is the number one game of the year as of right now. Red Dead Redemption has it's hands full.

Good game

[Mo9z · 6/10 · 11 April 2019]

I enjoyed the gameplay and the world is vast and pretty. The soundtrack is amazing, the graphics are nice. However, the story and characters lack development, voice acting and animations were bad compared to Origins and other AC game and the ending was disappointing.

Back to its best.

[TickReviews · 10/10 · 13 June 2019]

Assassin's creed odyssey is the assertion and the reformation of a stale franchise, that in the break of a year and a release later, stands as one of the best RPG's out there and certainty rivalling assassin's creed 2 in this particular franchise.

From the stunning world, to the brilliant combat, to the incredible performance of Kassandra, this game is one of the best of the generation (certainly top 10). Ubisoft have really revitalised a franchise that was on the verge of collapse. Assassin's creed odyssey is stunning. The games fundamentals and basic elements far exceed that of any other assassin's creed game. The performance of Melissa Mahut as Kassandra is incredible as she manages to nail so many different emotions and feelings the character may feel through the awesome new choices made throughout and does it in some style, hence her being nominated at the game awards for it. Ancient Greece is one of the best looking worlds I've ever seen with incredible amounts of detail as ubisoft continued this after the wonderful world of Origins (Egypt). The Gameplay is fun and keeps you changing up styles frequently, a thing that many games struggle with. The choices aid this also as you never know how the game will come back at you, if you lie, romance or kill someone.

All in all this game is one of the best and ignore that moron that complains that it isn't assassin's creed anymore. This is the best assassin's creed has ever been (except 2). Ubisoft have really outdone themselves and despite the 50-80 hours of play through this game is not to be missed. I encourage anyone that hasn't, to buy this game. This truly is one of the best this generation.

Overwhelming.

[sebrown-353-81202 · 6/10 · 21 July 2019]

Too big. As soon as started I'm having so much overwhelming missions thrown my way half of which mean nothing just an excuse to get xp up.

Sync points.No a lot of quick travel points for something so big.

Dead eyes. Once again assasins creed characters have no emotions In their face it's like talking to someone when both eyes are lazy.(I don't who their talking too)

Making choices through dialogue. Nothing you decide really has that much of an affect they don't even have a karma metre to judge weather you've done good things or not.

Overall graphics are pretty, the sword play is average and the story is predictable.

As large as an ocean but as deep as a puddle

[bigsmokefoo-30501 · 1/10 · 5 June 2020]

Quality>quantity, for such a big game,it surely disappointed, its just copy and paste over and over, no originality or uniqueness

the game is amazing

[tahamohammed-27899 · 9/10 · 21 March 2019]

Though not for everyone the game is one of my favorites

Positively excellent

[uzuki-35555 · 10/10 · 3 March 2019]

Graphics, everything looks stunning. Story starts off slow but it does pick up. Massive map to explore with plenty to do.

Great game play and combat, weak story and characters

[THEREVIEWMASTER12345678910 · 10/10 · 2 February 2022]

Okay let me start this review with it is AMAZING. I, personally chose Alexios for my first play through but playing it for a second time I chose what I think is the better option, Kassandra. So far I've played about 20 hours with Kassandra and 150 with Alexios and this game is pure gold. The game play was flowed with action, (I like to use the bows) whether your using a sword, ax, or bow its so much fun. There are no glitches I've come across so far but I must say that in the beginning, I hated the game. I picked it up at gamestop and said hey lets give it a go but It just didn't seem that great. But I thought this game has good reviews so lets play some more. That was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Personally, I don't enjoy Assassin's Creed games to much. I played Origins, It blew me a way so I knew I HAD to try Odyssey out, I also played Unity which I thought was great and its graphics were way ahead for a 2014 game, but this game felt different. It didn't feel like an Assassin's Creed game, which maybe was the reason I liked it so much and that's the reason why maybe some don't like it as much. It still focuses on game play which is good, but I feel it has a weak story. There good characters and all, but It seems that the side characters have more depth and the developers put more thought into them like Myrrine, than the main protagonist themselves. For the full experience I think you should chose Kassandra because of the dialogue and just overall more natural character, but if you chose Alexios, be my guest because he's just as good. Overall Odyssey is great game with great graphics and content, but has a weak story and characters that just ruin the experience.

Great game, but short from being perfect

[851222 · 9/10 · 27 August 2019]

Greetings from Lithuania.

So after finishing all the DLC's for the game as well as main game and platinum it, i can safely say that "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" (2018) is a really great game, overall. More then a few times during my first 50 hours of game play (it took me eventually almost 125 hours to do it fully, but without rushing it), i stopped and simply looked around and was amazed of how amazingly the game simply looks. The graphics are out of this world beautiful. The world itself looks amazing and feels amazing. Colors are gorgeous. Combat system was very good for me personally. I liked the main story and found it interesting. The open world side quests were hit and miss because there really interesting ones and very boring ones. Exploration was another thing that i enjoyed it very much. But then when DLC came, they were pretty boring for me personally, and all i wanted is just to finish the game and move forward.

Overall, i really enjoyed "Assassin's Creed Odyssey". I will be looking forward for next installments. Its not perfect, but its a damn great stuff.

Quite possibly the best Assassin's Creed game since Part 2

[justin-fencsak · 10/10 · 19 May 2019]

I got this game when it was on sale along with another Ubisoft game, For Honor. After playing the first level, which is kinda like Dynasty Warriors before you enter the main game and exploring the island as a man or woman, it gets interesting. The graphics sound and controls are pretty good despite having frame rate being the same speed as other games of this generation like Red Dead which is still the best game of last year. Like most Ubisoft games, it has Uplay as well as the Ubisoft Club rewards program and you'll get lots of achievements too as you progress through the game. Highly recommended if you love history and stealth.

Amazing Game

[natekenopic · 10/10 · 30 March 2020]

Wow.. this game was incredible! From combat to climbing to overall story. This game accomplished all of it. The players choice between alexios and kassandra is a great aspect of the game where most games don't give the player the option to pick which story you want to pursue(after playing I highly suggest playing as kassandra). I won't bore you too much but I absolutely loved this game and would highly suggest for others to play it.

Too long

[alanpiaskowski · 6/10 · 3 September 2021]

Get's boring after a while, I was like 50 hours in when i couldn't play it anymore.

One of the best games ever made.

[VOIIIXI · 10/10 · 7 February 2021]

Odyssey is the best Assassin's Creed Game. and One of the best games ever. 10/10 absolutely amazing, stunning and extremely fun. I've played it all with the DLC twice and I'm going to do it for a third time now. From the different and challenging gameplay, armor and weapons types and looks, leveling system, Ikaros Eagle vision and highlighting enemies and items, ability to change how your armor and weapons look without changing the actual armor and weapons, the many awesome and unique abilities and their upgrades especially the no fall damage, bounty hunters, the breathtaking world, side missions, interesting characters, the gripping story and the amazing score, it's all absolutely fantastic and very well done. This game is the perfect Assassin's Creed game out of Origins and Valhalla, it has everything you want, it's in the middle so it's very developed and not the first new AC game like origins and it didn't have great features removed and bad features added in like Valhalla. I would absolutely love something like Odyssey 2 or a game like it with those features and stuff I mentioned, those are the things that make it one of the best games ever.

A beautiful world bogged down by repetitive gameplay and forgettable story.

[depthconnection · 7/10 · 20 July 2021]

It's a blast exploring Greece, the world is beautiful, open and well realized. However the cracks begin to show as repetitive quests with little to no stakes bog up your quest list. Story, characters and voice acting unfortunately fall short of it's predessor, AC: Origins. Combat is better however and the world is gorgeous.

Good game with bad attitude aka pc bigotry

[miaeramos · 2/10 · 1 December 2018]

It's a good game but promotes too much fake diversity of ancient Greece historical revisionism( The term "revisionism" is usedby those who claim that revisionists are distorting the historical record. This is especially the case when it is applied to Holocaust denial) ! Ancient Greece has only 2-3% gays not half the population , and almost nobody had very dark skin or been black , get the facts straight !

An honest AC Odyssey review

[ArisMichalas · 10/10 · 2 August 2023]

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.

The best AC after Ezio's Trilogy

[AndreasBenakis · 10/10 · 12 February 2021]

This title in the Assassin's Creed series, is definitely the best one after Ezio's Trilogy (II, Brotherhood, Revelations). It has nothing to do with the assassins and the creed.. seriously.. AC: Origins, is where the creed of the assassins begun... In ODYSSEY the events take place before Origins.. Yet is an excellent RPG game with a lot of content. You learn about the amazing Greek Mythology. And all the DLCs makes perfect sense to the game!
