The general sentiment toward Assassin's Creed Odyssey is that it is a visually stunning and expansive adventure set in an immersive ancient Greek world. However, it has departed from traditional AC elements, with many feeling the repetitiveness and grind diminish its potential. The game succeeds as an open-world RPG with engaging decision-making and exploration but may not satisfy those seeking a classic AC experience. Nonetheless, for those embracing its RPG direction, it remains a rewarding journey.

Positive Points

  • The game features a beautifully crafted and expansive open-world map set in ancient Greece, providing stunning visuals and detailed environments for exploration.
  • Players appreciate the deep RPG elements that allow for flexible character progression, strategic combat, and meaningful choices that impact the story.
  • Naval combat and the freedom to explore both land and sea are significant highlights, adding variety to the gameplay.
  • The DLCs, especially 'The Fate of Atlantis,' are praised for their creative settings and additional content, enriching the overall experience.

    • Negative Points

  • Many players find the game repetitive, citing repeated mission structures and copy-pasted locations across the vast map.
  • Some critiques highlight the mismatch between Odyssey's gameplay and traditional Assassin's Creed elements, such as stealth and the lack of instant assassinations.
  • There is considerable frustration with the leveling system, which can make the game feel grindy and artificially extended.

    • Mixed Points

  • The combat system, while praised for being diverse, is noted to contain repetitive elements, with enemies serving as 'damage sponges' that require extensive battles to defeat.
  • Story elements and characters receive varied feedback; some players found the narrative engaging, while others felt it lacked depth or that it diverged too much from series norms.

    • Common Themes

  • The world design and environment are consistently praised as major strengths, drawing players in with its historical and mythological richness, albeit with some noting the game's repetitiveness.
  • The RPG elements are seen as a major shift from traditional AC games, garnering both praise for depth and criticism for abandoning core franchise mechanics.
  • Overall, player choice and the ability to shape the story are valued, though the need for grinding levels to progress detracts from the experience for some.
