The reviews show a mixed but generally positive sentiment towards Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game's depiction of Ancient Greece and open-world exploration received high praise, as did the character portrayal. Many players enjoyed the RPG elements, but there was notable criticism about repetitiveness and technical issues, particularly with crashes and the Ubisoft launcher. Some long-time fans of the franchise were disappointed with its departure from traditional Assassin's Creed core mechanics, finding the heavy RPG focus a mixed point. Overall, it's respected as a strong action RPG, if not a classic Assassin's Creed game.

  • The game is viewed as straying from the traditional Assassin's Creed formula, focusing more on RPG mechanics, which wasn't well received by some fans.

    • Mixed Points

  • While some players appreciated the massive open-world map for its scope, others found it too large and filled with repetitive content.
  • The game's move towards heavy RPG mechanics was praised for its depth by some, but others felt it detracted from the traditional Assassin's Creed experience.

    • Common Themes

  • The character of Kassandra received consistently high praise for her role and voice acting.
