Well, I've just finished the Main Campaign for AC:O, after beating this game I was left scratching my head, the story was really good and had a lot of potential through most of it, but the last few quests ramp up sort of out of nowhere and then it has such a bizarre and abrupt ending. Still, after playing it for about 56 hours I enjoyed what the game had to offer and look forward to return to it to finish the remaining side quests and DLC I still have left to complete. The Greek World is beautifully captured in this game, the art, the soundtrack, and overall ambiance of it all is really pleasing. Odyssey has stellar combat in my opinion, it's really fun and I've found myself preferring it over some other AC games I've played before, the abilities and weapon variety do a lot of good to switch up the usual fare that is Assassin's Creed combat. While many dislike the RPG-fication of AC, I feel like Odyssey did a good job and it's an underappreciated entry in the franchise. I did my playthrough as Alexios and while I really enjoyed the character, I can see why many chose to go with Kassandra instead, the voice acting for Alexios leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to Kassandra and the presentation of her character was done way better overall. If you enjoy Assassin's Creed games, the parkour, stealth, and ' fantasy' take on history that you love is still there, though many aspects that define AC as a franchise are a bit undercooked in this entry; however, if seen as a standalone game about the Greek World that gives you the fantasy of playing as a Spartan Soldier it greatly succeeds. Overall, the story botched it's ending for me and left a lot to be desired, and while the combat is really fun and enjoyable when mixed with the staples of the AC franchise, the modern Ubisoft design is still there and holds the game back, with daily quests on a single player game and boring map completion that tries to make Assassin's Creed work like an MMO when its not one.

My final score: 3.5 / 5
