For over a decade, the Assassin's Creed franchise has taken players through some of the most storied moments in humanity's history. From the dark moments of the Crusades to the inspirational rallying cries of the French Revolution, Ubisoft has successfully rewritten some of the most important...

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.

Few franchises can claim to be as prolific over the past decade as Assassin's Creed. And hey, why not The concept of the Animus peering through a looking glass into the past is incredibly enticing.

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

Odyssey can feel a bit grind-y at times, especially when you hit a string of missions that feel too similar and do little to progress the story. But again, the excellent combat and constant lure of upgrading your character generally kept us engaged throughout. If you enjoyed last year's Origins, you'll appreciate Odyssey's ability to retain what its predecessor did right, while also enriching the experience with a deeper focus on RPG systems. If you haven't played an Assassin's Creed game since the days when hooded killers sprung from the shadows to introduce a shiv into their targets' jugulars, well, you're in for a few surprises. Mostly though, you can expect to dive into one of the series' biggest, best, and most ambitious entries yet, even if it has shelved its signature cloak and wrist-mounted dagger.

Deep, rewarding progression system; Insanely satisfying combat; Fantastic naval elements; Stunning, sprawling open-world; Kassandra's a compelling new protagonist;

Repetitive objectives; Story can feel a bit stretched;

This game is SO cool. I bought this for my husband because he is a huge AC fan, and I just enjoy sitting back and watching him play. The graphics are hyper-realistic and the storyline is amazing. I pre-ordered it and it was supposed to arrive on Oct.

Reading all of the game reviews available won't even begin to prepare for this game! Dive right in and enjoy it! Such a thrilling story line, amazing characters, missions and dialogue options! It defiantly is a must buy if you're thinking about it!!!

Ironically for a game set in ancient Greece, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is anything but Spartan. This epic-scale action-roleplaying game shines as a grand adventure through a magnificent and beautiful open world on a scale we've rarely seen.

I'm going to admit that I have never truly been a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed series when it first started. The first game felt rigid in its leveling structure though it did start a foundation for an impressive series. But then, there were the beggars.
