Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the successor to last year's Assassin's Creed Origins and it improves on it's predecessor in almost every way. Assassin's Creed Odyssey now puts a much greater emphasis on role playing elements than it's predecessor. The game now has dialogue options, branching quests and multiple endings which can be decided by the players in game choices. Like traditional RPGs stealing and killing civilians will earn you a bounty which results in mercenaries hunting you throughout the game world. Odyssey now has a romance feature which allows you to develop romantic relationships with NPCs in the game.

Odyssey does a great job expanding on the RPG elements seen in Origins and also brings back a beloved feature from one of the previous games. Making it's return is the much loved naval combat from Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. Just like in Black Flag, you are free to roam the world in your ship, which can be upgraded along the way. Using your ship you can take down enemies and board them in order to gather resources. This was something I loved about Black Flag and to see it back in Odyssey is amazing!.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is set in 431 BC during the midst of the Peloponnesian War fought between the city states of Ancient Greece. Players have the ability to choose between two main protagonists, Alexios or Kassandra. Both these characters share the same story so choosing one over the other will not impact the narrative. The story follows you attempting to reunite your family while attempting to uncover an evil cult called the Cult of Kosmos, who are attempting to take over the Greek world. The game's world feels and looks amazing. You have the ability to take part in massive conquest battles as well as join forces with Athens or Sparta. There are so many different locations in the game world and each has it's own objectives in order to complete that location.

Despite being set 400 years before the birth of the Assassin Order, AC Odyssey somehow still manages to feel like an Assassin's Creed game without Assassins. The familiar mechanics of AC are still here but this time the assassins do not exist. You don't have the iconic Hidden Blade but instead the Spear of Leonidas a legendary relic belonging to the Great King Leonidas of Sparta. The game's parkour and combat feel fluid and smooth and provides players with a pleasant experience while playing. Overall Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a step in the right direction for Ubisoft.

Verdict: 9/10 Fantastic!.
