@@bigfoot5725 True, but they did remix the theme. In AC 2 it was more like an opera thingy going on. In this it consists of instruments like Violin, Guitar, etc...

I'm still getting to that part, I just finished the main story, now I want to fully complete the quests from it too, and then do Legacy quests and then do Atlantis after. This game is massive and truly fascinating.

@@jonnysac77 totally agree

As a fan of the old AC games, I wanted to hate Odyssey. But every time I fire it up I am lost in the Greek world for hours. It's really amazing ! (but not AC)

it is AC in title alone

They should've named the main character Hercules..

I mean as a Greek as well I wouldn’t say exactly since you know, (progression) but the layout and the sites look very similar.

I wish to visit Greece one day... If only the EU was more friendly to tourists.. The rejection rate is high

I remember feeling like I was in a live history book when I played this game

Που σαι ρε μπρο

Yeah that’s one issue I had with Valhalla. It doesn’t feel like England except the farm land with sheep in. Odysseys world is beautiful.

Witcher 3 only game I get lost in i beat witcher 3 400 times still don't get boring

@@beastking-zk1yk Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas were two games I got lost in. I've put over 400 hours into both games and will never regret it.

I think that's exactly the problem though, you didn't think of it as an AC game and that's what made it fun. It's very appealing but in a way that's not paying homage to what came before it very well. As an old AC fan, I'll admit the game itself is fine for what it is, but it's carrying the AC franchise name with it and for that, it and Valhalla will forever be bad games to me because they're not genuine to their advertising and what they're fundamentally supposed to be. If it was just a spartan history game that loosely was tied to AC and the title was just Odyssey I think I could forgive it. Ubisoft didn't have the balls to drop the AC title and expect the game to carry its own weight. It's a high budget game and they need more money money money.

@@TheLeftCulprit You answered yourself there. The actual devs wanted no AC in it. The big wigs demanded the name recognition. Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Final Fantasy 15 for me. Let alone the fact that the first one was to be the last game by the dev team. But 14 more completely different are all final. It's this particular franchise that has these few thousands of rabid fans not wanting any change for decades VS the millions that love what was made, and never comment on RU-vid.

SAME. I first played it back on ps4 pro a few years ago with the new 1080p HDR at that time *which was so beautiful*. I had the disc version but was essentially borrowing it from someone as I kind of just wanted to check it out for fun but after awhile I found myself completely immersed in this amazing world, and the historical accuracy of Ancient Greece made it all the more intriguing. Eventually ended up replaying the story with both characters and putting over 200 hours into it - and I plan to go back and do it all again honestly lol.

🤦🏻🤦🏻

I agree. I have around 220 hours in and like you said, everytime I hop into that world I'm taken aback. It is truly amazing. It's my 3rd favorite game of all time. When I tell people that they look at me with disgust 😂 They'll never understand & I'm okay with that. We get to have this gem to ourselves!

@@jordanstarnes6 😁😁

How the hell am I suppose to dislike the game when you say something like that? At the very least Odyssey is NOT an AC game

I just started trying to get into Odyssey again, and I must admit, I'm having a hard time. But to be fair, I just finished playing God of War, and I've never seen a game put so much detail and effort into, quite frankly, everything in a game. The music, story, world, side quests, combat, everything was just so well done in GoW. So coming to AC Odyssey I felt quite let down, the story isn't as interesting, the combat feels jarring, the graphics are too demanding, the world feels vast and quite empty. But I've only just started, I'm hoping it'll improve as I play some more.

"The golden century of Perikles'

Every city and region was a bit different - it was a nice touch. Attika looked different to Euboea for example.

one to one what happened to me. played ac 1, 2, black flag and rogue finally but then stopped because i was getting a little bored of the same formula over and over (but by any means, is not bad). once i bought it, it was the only thing i played for one whole week straight. i went to my friends place with my monitor, playstation 4 and the game. we played the whole night exploring. fun memories

I 100%'ed this game and I absolutely despised it. The gigantic copy pasted map, the same endless side activities for over 100 hours of grinding like it's an MMO. I found the story very unsatisfying as well. So you just make up with your family and live happily ever after in Sparta - wow amazing ending 10/10 (I'm not counting the DLC). Same with the Brotherhood - you spend hours assassinating its members and collecting clues, only then to just have the option to join their leader because why not? If you like the game - that's fine, to each their own. I'm just explaining why this is easily my least favorite game in the series. I came back after several years to Syndicate to see if it's as bad as people remember, and I honestly thought that game was miles and bounds above Odyssey.

I am not surprised people hate it

I am currently playing Odyssey. Sometimes it bores and sometimes I enjoy my time exploring the huge map of Greece but the story is literally *MEH* and this game is not made for any hardcore OG Assassin's Creed fans as they are obssessed with the Assassins vs Templars story. I am one of those OG AC fans and even after playing AC3, whole Ezio Trilogy, Rouge, Black Flag, Unity and Origins, still Odyssey makes top 7 in my fav AC games.

Same I got it off steam for $10 and so far I really enjoy it

Yea I was thinking the same thing👍🏾

you're character is a demigod. one of the other skills is to move super fast while every one is moving slowly

Same brotha same. And I think that is mostly because she's a badass through and through. And the character progression from rags to goddess is a classic Hero's journey and it's so satisfying.

​@@somnathghoshal103Women didn't even fight in Greece.

@@matheussanz1952 and? A video game of the 'fiction' genre has the freedom to be and do anything it wants because 'fiction' literally means 'not real' and besides the character is Spartan born (where women did fight unlike rest of Greece) and a demigoddess, all the reason for her to be 'unique and not follow societal standards'(set by mere mortals).

I liked Kassandra but Alexios was 100% better for me.

​@@matheussanz1952Actually the Peleponnesian League did allow female fighters. Also, Kassandra is an outcast. She doesn't adhere to the traditions of ancient Greece.

Totally agree. The game had an amazing foundation and a lot of great elements, but there was nothing you experience at hour 40 that you hadn't already experienced at hour 10. However, I will say that the game is still rewarding to explore just for the sake of seeing the different unique cities and areas on the map. Yes, most islands look the same, but they all still feel just unique enough to be nice to just walk around in and take in the views. Ultimately, yes, the game needed more variety that revealed itself as the hours went by to give you more things to learn and master, but instead, you're a God by hour 20, and then nothing is really a challenge after that unless you boost the difficulty and turn everything into OP damage sponges. Not fun. I still love the game, but it has failed to hook me longterm despite having only ever gotten 60% of the map discovered in any given playthrough.

Still beats Valhalla by a mile. Hopefully the next game is better and not just full of filler

@@sploit777 quantity over quantity has been Ubisoft’s signature move since 2018

I've played every AC from release...Odyssey is a close run for my favorite. Imo, it's essential to play as Kassandra, otherwise everything falls flat. The family dynamic very investing

Great, now I want to eat cake batter

Fans are mad cause they never got a fair closure to the story they were following since AC1. AC:Odyssey feels good now cause the newer games are even worse, but standing beside the likes of Rdr2 and God of war at the time it is bloated and drawn out lacking coherence of hours played vs progress in narrative content. It's massively lacking when the reviewer spends more than 6 hours to play it again.

@@RonnieBanerjee007 I played AC1 - AC3 a long time ago and really enjoyed it. I treat the new AC games as a separate entity. But yeah I get it, closure would be awesome. I do miss the old games with their atmosphere and story. I also realize that the series gone off track a for a while and I try to enjoy the new games for what they are...

Accurate asf. It's really good. Ubisoft just need to reduce the content of side quests and made them more significant, so no one will complain about burnout or unimpactful content.

I did the exact same, also last spring/summer

Agreed, i understand that people hate it because isnt an assassins creed, but for me the coolest part of assassins creed is make you feel like you are at some point of the past. And about mercenaries, i loved it, turned the game unpredictable and hard sometimes, with a lot of cool fights

Valhalla is so better than Odyssey, st least it's An Assassin's Creed game

They're.... okay. Pretty lazy really, in my opinion. Not all that many small details to discover, still just a bunch of random stories with little heart. Though there are some exceptions. The world is pretty cool, though little to do so I kind of feel detached from it. Like, it's a video game world. Unlike say, Kingdom Come Deliverance or Red Dead etc. Something about the Ubisoft formula just feels so damn... formulaic. Like, generic and bland yet, not at the sametime because of it's classic Greek world.

@@mrmeme2917 It's boring generic guff filled with grind work and with no soul.... Odyssey is a masterpiece by comparison.

@@krackerman3628 care to Explain? How Valhalla is with no soul and odyssey is so good ?

@@mrmeme2917 Are you watching the video or are you just here to comment. He is explaining exactly what makes Odyssey great and Valhalla 💩.

I think Ubisoft pandered by making her canon. And yeah I played as Alexios the last time through. He's OK, I saw no problems.

​@@dodesskiy1No. Kassandra was the original choice for player character but Ubisoft feared a female protagonist might hurt sales, so they ordered the afterthought that was Alexios to be created and marketed more than Kassandra. But Kassandra was made canon because that's what was always intended.

nay, entirely disagree, Alexios is amazing as the crazed weapon of the cult but the way his dialogue sounds when actually talking with him is just.... strange.

I don’t think the people that dig at alexios voice actually played the entire game as him tbh.

Yes, I enjoyed the ancient Greece power fantasy. I just feel like a hero, so I think the more fantastical elements of this game really fits.

The weaving of the myths/ mythical creatures into the game was super impressive and one of my favourite parts as well! Made my Classics PhD heart skip a beat without overshadowing the beautiful main story (which in itself felt like a myth).

I played it back in 2019 but never got close to finishing it. I just got the Xbox Series S and have lots of spare time and it's free on gamepass. Gonna complete it fully this time round. Also, best music soundtrack of ANY game I've ever played. The Cult of Kosmos music in particular gave me chills before...

you’re easily pleased huh

Elden ring follows Ubisoft's open world formula without the map markers

@@heisfail but the map markers aren't a good thing? just babying the player

@@zachlee7945 But you can play this without map makers. Elden Ring has the same issue Ubiosft games have with filler content which gets repetitve. Not a big fan of this game but it does some things better than Elden ring does with its open world. In terms of systems and quests are more fleshed out than Elden Ring.

She's way better as a protagonist than Alexios is. It took me around 2 hours to get annoyed with him so I started the game over with Kassandra and didn't look back

dude odyssey and origins were so awesome. the side quests were so fun and engaging. compared to the dread quests in valhalla.

@@darknesswave100 i thought they were both odd protagonists but kassandra as deimos was both evil af and somehow redeemable when alexios as deimos isnt even close to redeemable

I'm always skeptical of reviewers complaining a game is too difficult (sorry, I mean, not accessible ) or too long. It just seems self-serving, since their job is to get through the game and write a review. If the game is genuinely repetitious then it could be warranted criticism, but then you have to ask whether they are choosing to make the game repetitious by flying through it at break-neck speed, approaching every encounter the same way.

@@asadb1990 for sure

Bro, I'm into it now, so the cult of Kosmos are the templars from there time, when you finish the snake temple mission, a pop up pops up and reads, that it's a secret organization of powerful people plotting to take over the world, I say this because everyone is saying that there ain't templars and assassins when Kassandra all she does is assassinate

I mean you can say that subjectively you feel as though the branching paths were more impactful to you in Witcher 3 vs Odyssey. But objectively speaking, Odyssey has more quests, more branching options in those quests, and 9 endings vs the 3 in witcher. That's objective.

@@daneparchmentjr quality over quantity. Those choices are SHALLOW and hollow in terms of story and actual impact if you do some critical thinking. TW3 has the fact that the choices actually FEEL like choice and ARE choices. Not just some little tiny change. btw there are more "endings" in TW3, because the core 3 are there, but you can still have variations on those 3 depending on your other choices. :)

@@daneparchmentjr No it isn’t, it’s more filler quests, there’s a few good one’s, but not as much as there is in TW3. And yeah, 9 endings, but every single one of them is the same, every ending is you sat in your Sparta home eating dinner, with the only difference being who in your family is alive to be there too. For TW3 one ending has you adventuring with Ciri, another has her become Empress, and the last has Ciri likely dead. And seeing as all those 9 Odyssey endings are 99% the same and are just slight variations of the same linear ending, I might as well add all the different character endings TW has. From Emhyr’s ending, Radovid’s, Triss’s, Geralt’s, Yennefer’s, Dijkstra, Cerys/Hjalmar’s, Even the Baron and Keira. So not only does it have better main endings that are all completely different, it also has more endings altogether with all the plentiful and better characters it has. This level of quality applies to The Witcher’s DLC too. From all the quests, and possible endings you get in HoS and B&W compared to Odyssey’s linear Legacy of the First Blade and Fate of Atlantis one’s that end one way, and one way only.

I’m so sorry

How can it not make sense? They both have similar flaws, as you pointed out, but valhalla's pacing is much WORSE and the story is so unfocused and bloated that it's devoid of any natural progression or narrative tension. Also, the combat in valhalla is a big downgrade from odyssey, the characters in valhalla are forgettable to those of odyssey, and the world itself is bland, empty and boring compared to odyssey. I loved odyssey, absolutely hated valhalla

@@niknigal3379 I agree with everything you just said. I loved odyssey, but Valhalla was decent until you get far enough where the story slowly starts to get really really lazy up after you realize that they missed out on a lot of unique plot points by making the game the way it was (go here Allies X then go there and recruit allies). Overall Valhalla was a bland game. The person that commented is acting as if they are the exact same game which to a point they are but it’s really easy to tell which one involved actual effort. Valhalla really had the potential to be a good and unique game especially considering that there are not many Viking games but they tried to make it so “open world” that it doesn’t have any sense of identity. They took a lot of aspects from odyssey and made it much worse in my opinion.

One thing I will say about both games is that -They focus more around leveling progression rather than character development than they should which is largely a fault of them throwing us in the body of a fully grown adult with little to no backstory and exposition. -The world although beautiful is far to big and the scattered out buildings are copy and pasted to the point where it feels like “exploration” is a chore. -The move set is far to limited especially when most of the game is actual combat so when you get half way through the game you don’t have any drive to engage in conflict, Valhalla managed this better by scattering abilities in different locations but overall Odyssey has a better flow of combat. The quality of both games would be far better if the world was scaled down by at least half and they took the time to actually design locations other than the big cities that way exploration and progression could have a chance to flow more naturally. This next part is purely opinionated but I think they should remove player choice to some capacity and provide a more thorough backstory and a more well established character, the lack of backstory made the main protagonist seem more like side characters than actual main protagonist to me. They should have made 2 or 3 installments for a single character rather than starting off with a new character from scratch. I’m not necessarily saying Alexios/kessandra or Evior are bad characters but they badly suffer from a lack of depth which could’ve easily been given if there was more than one game in which they were the main protagonist. They tried to do so much to the point they didn’t really focus on what could potentially make the game great, it was far too ambitious that I don’t even think Rockstar would attempt it within such a short time frame. I don’t think either of the games were done lazily but I do think Ubisoft put too much pressure on the people in charge of the project.

@@user-jt6rh8xy6n agree

@@nubnubdubdeh Hopefully they never make another boring ass button mash repeater. Gets so boring just pressing circle and square the whole time. I loved both odyssey and brotherhood but that’s the truth

@@nubnubdubdeh The button mash repeater is brotherhood 😂

Yeah I completely agree. I have to play it as a spartan game rather than an AC game to enjoy it. It is truly an amazing spartan game and would’ve been much more loved and appreciated if Ubisoft didn’t stick the AC title to this game. I get that people hate this game because it has very little to do with assassins, but ignoring everything else the game has to offer is unfair.

Agree completely

Completely disagree the game is shitnin general, boring climbing, rubbish combat, samey looking open world with boring forts and markers massive for the sake of it and terrible quest structure compared to basically any other rpg

I agree somewhat. It's a very mid game and a weak AC game. They use a lot of things from other games and don't do it half as well. Ubisoft could have/should have just made an entire Mythos series without the AC title. I think that would have done a lot better and would have allowed them to dedicate the time and effort needed. That's why Fynix or whatever Gods and Monsters game was weak. It was like a cartoony AC: O Lite.

Not sure how I play this game as I play as a full on assassin. Stealth, teleporting strikes, bushes, stealth kills, etc.

as a long time ac fan, i disagree extremely strongly. i think this game is fucking terrible, and im pissed i wasted 100 hours playing it. you should watch "Assassin's Creed Odyssey Broke Me" and "Assassin's Creed Odyssey Fundamentally Breaks Canon/Lore | Here's Why", they're videos by Lazerzz that perfectly articulate why ac odyssey is objectively a bad game.

It's not an assassin's creed game

I haven't played Valhalla but I heard odyssey has way better stealth action.

Honestly, I can't understand this neither. Between Valhalla and Odyssey, I preffer Valhalla. But both of them are souless Ubisoft Action RPG.

They're BOTH pathetic.

I think for me they are very similar but Valhalla loses the charm and variety that Odyssey had. Odyssey’s side quests feel fleshed out and interesting whereas Valhalla’s felt quick and there just to have a marker. Also the diversity in the setting felt way better in Odyssey but that’s to be expected cause England is bland compared to Greece. In summary I think both games are similar in many categories but Odyssey does them way better than Valhalla

Don’t know if it was different when it first came out, but I played through it recently and this absolutely was not the case. I never paid a single extra fee and found the game totally fine. I did maybe half the side quests (excluding the radiant ones which I did none of) and this enabled me to level up nicely in line with the main quest line requirements.

It really kinda depends, if you don't do that side content than you'll be really behind on levels. But if you do a lot of the side content and explore, you'll end up over leveled. But yes, the game has a really huge grind.

That was a reason why I hated playing the game but you can turn the enemy scaling so that they don’t always scale with you. I forget the specific settings but it helps. It really sucks when you grind to level up and then you can’t even stealth one-shot some joe shmoe

or, and hear me out on this one, or you could tweak your settings so there is no level scaling of the enemies. there is that option in this game. but where's the challenge then?

It’s not. The Markos quest where you break him out of jail happens no matter what decision you make.

With less to do in it too. I miss side quests.

Agree I hated Valhalla, the pacing was awful. The combat very clunky and I felt no flow! Nowhere near close to Odyssey.

For me assassins creed is about historical figures and locations, the fidelity of places and a bit of mithology and thats the reason I like Odyssey so much. Event if you are not an assassin you still can act like one a choose how you want to play. Something I didn't feel with Valhalla

@@destinoo1792 It doesn't matter what it is to you, it matters what it was to the original creators, who all left Ubisoft after AC3 because of "creative differences". I,e they were pissed at what Ubisoft wanted to do with the series.

@@destinoo1792 then where is the assassin's creed in Odyssey beside the DLC? historical figure or just myths and legends filled in to stop people from remembering this is an AC game? choose how you want to play? oh pls, even when I am the stealthiest assassin killing them without anyone notice, I stiil get hunted by mercenary. The only thing you can do to affect the ending is how many family member are on your ship and also the option to fool around with same sex NPCs for the LGBT community is also trashed upon when the DLC came out and force the main protagonist to have a kid.

This is the best take. Really amazing game by itself, absolutely horrid and atrocious as an AC game

The map was a bit empty but it was nice to immerse myself in the Greek setting. And the ocean in odyssey was stunning it didn’t just feel like filler but like an explorable region. In short I totally agree with you.

@@yungwey5021 Ubisoft games are bloated and get boring but I’m giving credit to the art team for putting a convincing world together. But odyssey is far from my favorite.
