About Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Ubisoft Québec released Assassin's Creed Odyssey in October 2018 for PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Google Stadia. This action RPG lets you play as a mercenary named Alexios or Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War. The game drops you into ancient Greece where political factions clash while monsters roam the wilderness. You travel between massive islands like Crete and Attica to complete quests that change how history plays out. Your choices determine whether Athens or Sparta gains an advantage in this open world setting. The title launched nearly six years ago but remains a heavy hitter in the franchise because it leans harder into role-playing mechanics than its predecessors ever did.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time sailing ships across the Aegean Sea or trekking on foot to hunt down targets. Combat feels weighty since you can block, parry, and use special abilities that drain stamina bars. You switch between spears, swords, or bows depending on the enemy type you face. Naval battles require you to aim ramming attacks while dodging fire arrows from rival galleys. Quests often branch based on dialogue choices that affect reputation with local factions. Side activities include clearing bandit camps, solving ancient riddles, or training your dog companion. You earn experience points to unlock new skills and upgrade gear found in chests scattered around the map. A typical session involves managing inventory while deciding which island to explore next for better loot.

PlayPile's Take
Assassin's Creed Odyssey works best if you enjoy spending time exploring large maps rather than rushing through linear missions. The $11.00 price point at Gamesplanet makes it easy to justify adding to your library given the 93 achievements available. Players who dislike repetitive side quests might find the pacing slow despite the engaging combat system. This is not a game for those seeking tight narrative focus since plot threads often get lost in open world distractions. You should buy it if you want hundreds of hours of content at a fraction of the original cost. Avoid this title if you prefer modern settings or fast-paced action without sailing mechanics.
