Esse talvez seja o jogo singleplayer com o maior registro de horas que eu tenha aqui no site: 206 horas

Para mim, Odyssey é como comer um Big Mac, você sabe que não tem nada de especial, que no fundo ele não é aquilo tudo e que você facilmente encontra coisas melhores, mas ainda sim é bom comer de vez quando.

A história, os conflitos e os jogos de interesse fizeram a perspectiva politica ser bem interessante no game, ainda mais aliado ao cenário que o jogo se passa. A gameplay é MUITO gostosa também e a parte RPG do game, fazendo parte da árvore de habilidades é legal (essa parte pode ser comparada com o molho do BigMac que pra mim é o melhor do lanche).

Agora as partes chatas são as váaaaarias quests forçadas e repetitivas. Tipo, invada um acampamento ou forte para recuperar uma coisa x ou para libertar fulano que está lá preso. Muitas vezes isso quebrou um pouco do pace geral. Além disso, a repetitividade dos conflitos esparta x atenas que pareceu ser bem legal no começo, mas chega um ponto que é totalmente opcional você lutar ou não e de fato a força dos territórios não é tão abalada quando você começa a ferrar com eles.

Agora, o chato mesmo são os mercenários que puta que pariu, muito chato. Eles funcionam como as estrelas do GTA, então delitos vão fazer você ser procurado, só que diferente do GTA onde você pode despistar a policia, aqui você basicamente fica com eles na sua cola o tempo todo e quanto mais delito, mais mercenários vem atrás de você e alguns são mt apelativos. Assim vc pode tirar eles da sua cola de duas formas: pagando e quanto mais notoriedade mais caro fica ou indo matar a pessoa que colocou a recompensa pela sua cabeça, mas advinha onde esses caras quase sempre ficam? Sim, em fortes ou acampamentos então as vezes fica um looping chato de ter que pagar ou ir matar o alvo que mandou te matar.

Todos esses pontos negativos (vou comparar com aquela folha de papel que o MCDonalds chama de carne do BigMac) que eu citei até que contribuíram para a minha jogatina ser tão grande assim, mas o que de fato fez isso foi a parte de exploração, são muitos cenários lindos e explorar e fazer algumas sidequests são realmente interessantes (por mais que elas também sejam quase sempre iguais e em um número absurdamente desnecessário). Eu tentei ser completacionista nesse game, fiz 87% de conquistas, mas eu confesso que cansei e vou decretar como finalizada a minha experiência com esse game que já dura bastante tempo. Tipo somente a história principal + DLCs (todas bem questionáveis em aspecto de história, mas fabulosas em beleza de cenário: Campos Elísios e Atlantis S2) levam em torno de umas 100 horas, o restante fica por conta da exploração e, se esse for o seu caso, tentativa de completacionismo.

No fim é isso, igual comer um BigMac. É bom, mas pelo preço e pelo tempo existem coisas muito melhores.

most overhated AC game imo
while it's not a typical assassin's creed game, i still found it super fun and entertaining. i can definitely understand how some people dislike this game, as compared to a game like AC2, it feels completely different and there was much more emphasis on the rpg element
my only complaint for this game is the time it takes to beat, especially if you're going for 100% completion; i probably have 110+ hours on my save
still though, i found the story, setting, and gameplay all very good

I don't mean to be that guy like I was with Black Flag, but Assassin's Creed Odyssey was not made for the AC series. It's a great game on its own, but I think the only way it actually ties into Assassin's Creed is through the Isu blood/goddess blood shit that HARDLY makes any sense to begin with, as well as basically being the start for the Order of the Ancients which eventually become Templars which eventually become Abstergo. In this game they're cultists who worship a tiny pyramid that gives them glimpses of the future that they think comes from some kind of god. But besides that, most of the actual main story is basically reuniting your family, and it's quite frankly kind of boring up until you finally meet the main character's Mom. That's besides the point, though. I really don't understand why they tried to pass this as an AC game when it could've just been its own IP. It doesn't really explain much for the actual story besides something that they might try to tie in with Valhalla, but it's honestly just a low point for the series in terms of story. However, combat, exploration, side content, and world building are handled greatly. I kinda don't like how they treat some of the historical figures of this game. I don't think anybody historically has really gotten much respect out of these games since AC4 with Black Beard and Mary Read. They all get treated like comedic relief in a way and it's just kinda weird to see. Let me talk about combat real quick, though, because despite me saying it's great, it's also kinda just gross how many hits an enemy will take before dying. It's better if you spec into a bow build like I did where you can just headshot most enemies from a bush most of the time. That, to me, is fun. I love doing that. Especially since these games were originally made with stealth in mind, it's nice to have that back. It's just done in such a forceful way. The exploration is also great just for the fact that there's a lot to explore, and it's all detailed very beautifully. My only complaint there is that there are too many army camps and not other unique locations, so you basically still get the same issue I had with Origins where there's just too little stuff in between all the big stuff. Side content and world building kinda go hand in hand because so many things can be different based on your approach to something. Often times I'd be stuck between 2 people who each want me to do a different thing with the target I'm going after, and I just fucking love ignoring them both and killing the target right away, then coming back to find they're both pissed at me, but also happy the target is gone. There's also so many other super major events that really make the world feel huge and mystical like how we all think of ancient Greece, but it's all the Isu's doing because they gotta tie it back somehow. There were so many things I loved, a few things I hated, things that genuinely shocked me, and overall I feel like this game is judged too harshly for making the same point that I made: That it's not Assassin's Creed. Put that aside and it's still an amazing game overall.
Edit: I'm putting this in way later because I forgot about the modern storyline. A-whoopsies. Yea, nah, I hope that really highlights how forgettable it is because the few time you're outside the Animus there is nothing of substance to do, see, or discover. The only thing I can say, is that Layla isn't as insufferable as she was in Origins.

Got this for free from the Stadia beta.

It's pretty fun, not too much to say about it.

I finished the Greek storyline, might go back to finish the future stuff storyline at some point.

Mid playthrough notes:
Gameplay loop is fun
Crashes frequently on Ps4 (wtf)
Dialogue writers should be fired, chatgpt would write better dialogue.
Transmog is cool but artificially bloated.
The cult mechanic is poorly implemented.
Romance really doesn't make sense and feels out of place, plus it's just fade to black, witcher 1 did it better, honestly.

Odyssey takes us all the way back to the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. We play as either Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary who finds themselves chasing down the Cult of Kosmos, a sinister organization trying to control the fate of Greece. Much of Origins has been recreated here; much like its predecessor Odyssey is an action-RPG with a truly vast open world, although because this is Greece naturally sailing makes a truimphant return and it's just as much fun as it was in Black Flag. Just trying to follow the story is a challenge in and of itself; you're expected to take the time to explore and power up both your character and your ship in order to take on the rising challenges, but thankfully doing so is an absolute joy. Odyssey is also more overt in its strange sci-fantasy precursor elements than any other entry in the franchise, and its done to absolutely magnificant effect, particularly as the story brings itself to a close and things get really wild. A brilliant action RPG!

Bom jogo. Historia legal que realmente é impactada a depender de nossas escolhas durante as quests, personagens carismáticos, a Kassandra é um show a parte, já entrou no top 3 de protagonistas favoritos da franquia, o mundo reage as nossas decisões, por exemplo, se decidirmos não ajudar um certo vilarejo, algum tempo depois, quando retornamos no local ele pode estar todo destruído. A Grécia apesar de ser morta, é bem feita visualmente e divertida de se explorar, as regiões possuem biomas e vegetações diferentes, tornando cada local especial, ver a diferença da arquitetura de Esparta x Atenas é um ponto bem legal também. Mas porr4 Ubsifot, precisa ser tão longo, muita conversa fida e muitas quests secundarias terríveis e genéricas.
