Assassin's Creed Odyssey Athenian Edition reviews

This game can change your relationship status to single . Lol

For all of its little bugs (this game is so content-rich that it can sometimes cause even new-gun PS4s to lag after several hours straight play), “Odyssey” might just be the ‘magnum opus’ of the Assassins Creed catalogue. Origins was excellent, and had perhaps a little more polish than this (though the former's smaller map and mostly desert environment will have helped there), but this game is an absolute joy to play. From story, to textures, to characterisation, and fighting mechanics, Odyssey is top class. The fighting is a lot more fluid and orientated towards the offensive (no shields!), but balanced well by slightly more dynamic enemy AI who are always pegged to be within +/- a few points of you. Beware of the level 35 chickens when beating up farmers: they WILL ruin your day. It's also nice to play as a female assassin for a change – Kassandra is far more fun to play as than Deimos simply based on her dialogue alone. The level of historical detail, while not always completely accurate (where the developers have exercised their artistic licence, they've done it to great effect) is stunning – and that's coming from someone who has an Honours and Masters in Classical archaeology. The best praise I can give this game is that it's both a genuine challenge and genuinely fun (and ultimately rewarding) one to play. I cannot emphasise how well written the plot and characters are. 11/10 – buy this game, the Greek world depends on you…

Great game but I'm really disappointed to say that when I got my order of games none of the discs were secured in place

Really good game play, different than normal Assassin's Creed games but still really good and fun to play.

A couple of minor glitches where the game stopped a couple of times, but overall easily the best in the franchise to date, keep them coming Ubisoft.
