I could go in to detail about the terrible graphics, the lousy weapons or how they changed things from "Origins" apparently just for the sake of changing things. While "Origins" is a great game, this one, "Odyssey", sucks. Do bother buying it! It's a waste of money.

The game itself is great as all assasins creed, however I might have received a damaged disk as the game is continually crashing and freezing. It crashes at least every hour, but I think I just received a damaged copy

Sparta kicking fools; Huge; interesting world and history; Engaging storyline; Shark attacks

Little to differentiate from Origins; Glitchy climbing and AI; Iffy performance and load times

A fter a one year hiatus for the franchise, Assassin's Creed returned in 2017 to critical acclaim. Ubisoft had set off in a new direction for the franchise, and while it felt wholly familiar for Assassin's Creed fans, it was clear that they were moving things in a new direction.

Ubisoft really wasn't joking around when it called the latest Assassin's Creed game an Odyssey. It's not just in the Greek tragedy-insp...

A vast; utterly engrossing story; Best heroes to date; A world that keeps on giving
