One of the most expansive and ambitious video games of all time. Packed to the absolute brim with stuff to do. The combat is fluid and easy to get used to, the stealth is.. functional. Although the action takes center stage this time around. The ship boarding, and naval gameplay is a welcome return to the days of Black Flag, and Rogue. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a vastly different experience than say, Unity. or Syndicate. The game shares much of the same dna and benefits from all the best aspects of the prior entries being smashed together. forcefully. The combat is origins, the climbing is syndicate, the story is in the same vein as III or IV. Fans of the franchise will hate it for expanding on what they claimed they enjoyed about the series, forever. The game is a blast though. Highly recommended.
