I'd just wait a few levels to get a couple of skills
A bit like many action RPGs, the game gets easier as you level up and unlock more skills and better equipment.
Early game, fighting one enemy that's a level higher than you is difficult. Late game, fighting a group of enemies that are several levels above you becomes trivial.

Literally no idea what the reviews are on about, I hate those things but loving the game and don't see them at all. Each to their own I guess.
Unfortunately I was enjoying Odyssey but it has nothing on RDR now I'm into it, I'll have to come back to this in a while

Another thing that I dislike is the sluggish controls. Same reason I couldn't play GTA V was like playing in treacle.

For me, this is one of the best AC games i've played. There just so. much. to. do. 44hours in 26% progress because I keep wandering off for a bit of piracy, getting obsessive about upgrading gear or see another bounty hunter and just 'have' to kill him. The skills are great too. The World is really pretty and i'm even liking the soundtrack (sticking point for me since Jesper Kyd doesn't do it anymore). I'm enjoying the combat - it feels nicely balanced for someone like me (i'm not a lost souls hardcore whatever - and playing on hard means I die occasionally (but not too much).

Trying to get bk in to this until RDR2 hdr is fixed. Shame as it’s really hard to get bk into a massive RPG world once you’ve come out of it into another game. This deserves it though as it is a superb game with a quality story (so far anyway).
Need to stick with AC and get bk into it like I was pre rdr2.

It's very different though, I'm dipping in and out of each.
If I just wanna unwind, I go and enjoy the sunny vistas and relative ease of the gameplay, wander round, do the things, murder people. RDR2 is much more serious, I feel like I need to be a bit more switched on...and it doesn't lens itself as well to just dipping in, need a decent session.

Both are awesome games Imo, but yeah they definitely have different pacing. I managed to finish AC:O before RDR2 came out but there's still plenty for me to do, ill go back to it at some stage.

About 40 hours in and only done chapter 4, some of the missions are very well done, particularly enjoyed Kyra's island. The number of things to do is a bit overwhelming at times, I love hunting the mercenaries but that means I've only take out about a quarter of the cultists and I haven't focused too much on the main story either. I've also got about 20 other quests from hunts to side missions to do and I think I've probably only uncovered about a third of the map!
I reckon to do everything would be ~200 hours!
Aiming for about 100 hours as by that point RDR2 should have had any important bugs sorted out

Nice, some great qol changes like auto arrow crafting and lower upgrade cost. Cool that they continue working on the issues and introducing changes as I still have loads to do left

It’s probably a good thing you enjoyed doing the side stuff so much as you fall behind quite easily on lvls for the mainline quests if not much side is done.

Yeah, I'm level 32 already but unlike Origins it looks like everything levels up with you. In some ways I'd like a way to turn that off so I could rinse through some of the older stuff but I guess it keeps the combat more interesting.
Only real gripe is that unless you use the abilities then bow/arrows have been seriously nerfed, even weak enemies need multiple headshots to take out and that makes it pretty pointless as by the time you've hit them twice they're already on their way to you.

Never been an issue with any of my builds using devastating shot.... I'm running the Agamemnon's set at level 50 (Warrior & Fire burning damage & engraved with Crit Damage) along with Hades Bow, Atlantean Dagger/Mallet of Everlasting Flame and I can easily 1 shot most elites/captains/mercs and 2 shot Polemarchs/Cult Brutes with a normal arrow.
Don't even need to Spec into Hunter (apart from the Atlantean Dagger has +15% Hunter) and I am laughing at the mobs.

Odd, I'll try again later but unless I use the predator shot or the 3-bar one then bows have been near useless for me. Not the end of the world as I prefer to take out as many as I can with stealth anyway but would be nice to have bows as an option.
Almost got access to one of the inner circle cult members A looooong way to go to take them all out!

Sounds like you are quite early in the game? Hunter should be the most viable build as crits once properly specced can do over 1 million damage in endgame making nightmare mode 'dead' easy.
+1. Get all the bow damage bonuses in the ability tree are the most important thing as well as devastating shot and the ability to craft deadly arrows.

Respecced a bit and having more success with bow/arrow now
I've done too many sidequests I think, level 48 and I'm in Chapter 6. Had a good run last night and am now arena and mercenary champion so working on taking out a few more cult members before I head back to the main storylines.
It's certainly vying for my game of the year, so much to do, great fun and Kassandra is pretty well written and fantastically voiced. I have RDR2 waiting but I want to finish this up first and might even dip for the season pass as I feel Ubisoft have earned the extra cash on this one.

Took down the minotaur as well, quite good fun, although with him (as well as most of the legendary animals) I find that just sticking close and circling them makes the fight pretty easy. The arena fights were great fun, kicking people into pits, flame, etc.
