r/AssassinsCreedOdyssey

I was WRONG, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is great!

I just finished Assassin's Creed and all its DLC, it really blew me away...

And to think that a few years ago I considered it the worst AC, even though I’d only played it for a few hours 😭

Playing it with some perspective and finishing it, I realize that I actually find it incredible, and the same goes for the DLCs which add a lot to the lore and are actually ESSENTIAL to fully enjoy it imo

I think it’s the most visually stunning AC and the richest in its open world, it’s maybe the first time since a long time that I’ve become so attached to the protagonist of an AC video game and their story again (I played with Kassandra)

What an experience 🥲🫶

From previous posts it's clear that I have come to absolutely love this game, but since discovering it and checking content online it's heartbreaking to see so much hate around it

I have read most of the arguments and they don't make any sense

  1. Not an AC game

This is the worst one, first AC game launched in 2007, they can't keep making same shit every year, it's evolved and the narration fits perfectly with Animus being used to discover ancient world. The game itself is the testament of the might of Ubisoft's world building + shit ton of content

  1. Micro transaction

Although I hate micro transactions in a single player game, Odyssey is not pay to win in any shape or form, in last 44 hours I have played I have never once visited store. Ubisoft may have dropped the ball with next instalments but Odyssey does not have a problem

  1. Repetitive gameplay

IMHO so is every RPG, initially it was a bit painful but once you get out of kephalonia it picks up and ranking up becomes a second thought. I have thoroughly enjoyed the game and if you keep exploring and doing quest levelling up is never an issue, also visiting new places and islands have been an amazing experience so far, they felt lived in and unique in many ways

----------------------

Anyone who haven't played the game yet, I would highly recommend giving it a try even in 2026, it holds up really well, I haven't completed the main quest yet, there's still so much to do.

Ignore the hate comments and experience your EPIC Odyssey home in ancient Greece

I know it's a rant, but needed to be said, no I am not a fan of Ubisoft I haven't played every AC game, just giving credit where it's due

I've been roaming Elysium for like an hour and ignoring quests

Fonsett Village's theme from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fit so well in this map

I remember spending half an hour trying to capture this photo, calmly trying to get Phobos and Ikaros to cooperate. I really loved and missed the vibe of this game.

Have any of you experienced post-game depression with Odyssey? Were you able to enjoy it nearly as much with NG+ or by switching to Alexios/Kassandra?

Hi folks,

Just curious about what side do you usually choose or none at all ?

I often take Athènes. For I'm tired of the "THIS IS SPARTA" vibes for the last decade, Kassandra is spartan born, but resentful to Nikolaios and her past, also blue teams seams more align with democracy.

Also side question: is there a new game + ? Prestige system?
