Assassin's Creed Odyssey

I finally bought it. Heard great things about this game and I am coming to an end on Wildlands and (the very short) New Dawn. Got the gold edition for the DLCs, AC3 and ACL too. Hope it's worth it @ £33.60 (Uplay price with 20% for 100 Uplay club credits) which seems cheap vs everywhere else.

lol, crazy worth it at that price. Hours and hours of content.

Season pass is amazingly good value though, once you factor Assassin's Creed 3 remaster in to it.(which I am interested in playing again, after reading about some of the gameplay changes they have made. AC3 wasn't a bad game, it just had some really bad missions in it... Not as bad as Black Flag, but it was getting there)

I have high hopes for the Atlantis dlc too.

I think I must have been of the few who enjoyed the game. It was fantastically atmospheric, especially in winter. Travel in the wilderness could be a little tedious though. The fights were fantastic and some of the forts were genuinely challenging. Not like the recent games where eventually you become so OP you feel like you can take on the whole world at once.
 
So AC3 remaster is out today, along with a few new AC Odyssey challenges that have been released this week that I haven't quite finished. Tropcio 6 also releases. Not enough time in the day!
 
Finally on episode 3 of Atlantis. Wow. Beautiful. They really went to town with these new world designs.

I guess thats mainly because you are running from populated point to populated point. If you go off the beaten track you find the areas with no people, which I suppose makes sense really.

Pretty much this. The world would have been sparse in those days. What I do miss from origins is that people were doing lots of activities which made the game feel really alive. They don’t do anything in odyssey.
 
Looking back, Origins was more interesting to me in terms of the world and environment, largely because of ancient Egypt and also the world feeling more alive. Much preferred the great RPG elements of Odyssey though and it is also a much bigger adventure. I hope they combine the best bits of each in the next title.

Just finished Torment of Hades. I thought it was a really good dlc, apart from the premise of the whole thing as I've said before. Once you ignore that though it is really good in general. The two boss ights that bookend the episode were obvious highlights.

Seriously though, the modern day nonsense needs to go away more than ever. What a pile of crap. It had always ranged from 'quite interesting I suppose' to something you can just ignore, but now it is actually ruining the main parts of the game imo by injecting this unneeded nonsense.

Question - Kassandra was told clearly by Alethia that she was entering a simulation created by her with the specific purpose of training her how to use the staff... Why does she seemingly forget this at every moment and act like it's real?!

I agree that the premise is annoying, and having skipped a few scenes, I was confused for sometime. That said, the design of each dlc is absolutely fantastic.

Answer - because she has to play along?

Agreed with the modern day stuff, can’t believe they brought it back. I often stop playing when I get to these bits.

Just as a little aside, there's a programme on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm - A Greek Odyssey with Bettany Hughes - which will have some of the real locations that are in this game. She points out the Palace of Knossos in the trailer. I distinctly remember that with its red pillars.

I’ll watch that, thanks.
