[Review] Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Is this the most epic game in Assassin's Creed history?

Assassin's Creed underwent a significant transformation after its sequel, Assassin's Creed Origins, where gamers experienced a gameplay style deeply rooted in role-playing. Combined with a captivating storyline and an incredibly vast open world, Assassin's Creed Origins quickly became the new standard for the series. Following this success, fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise didn't have high hopes for a more successful sequel, especially given Ubisoft's decision to stop releasing a new Assassin's Creed game annually .

Therefore, the community was extremely surprised when the French gaming giant suddenly announced Assassin's Creed Odyssey – an Assassin's Creed game that takes players back to the era of the mighty Spartans. However, with the label of a "sequel," Odyssey received much skepticism from fans, who thought it was just a copycat game trying to capitalize on the reputation of Origins. However, when Assassin's Creed Odyssey was released, gamers realized how wrong they were. In fact, the game is considered one of the most successful sequels in the series to date .

​

It's no wonder that reputable websites worldwide are giving Assassin's Creed Odyssey incredibly high scores. From IGN with 9.2/10, GameRadar 10/10, USGamer 9/10 to Gamespot with 8/10 , Assassin's Creed Odyssey is truly winning over even the most discerning game critics .

​

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is also praised for its excellent storyline revolving around the mercenary Alexios (or Kassandra if the player chooses a female character). Alexios is born into a powerful family but unexpectedly receives a prophecy that his lineage will bring about the downfall of the Spartan empire. This calamity causes Alexios to be thrown off a cliff as a child, but he miraculously survives and becomes a wandering mercenary throughout Greece. Throughout his life, Alexios will gradually uncover the mystery behind the prophecy and the secrets of his past .

Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be officially released on October 5th on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. GameHub will update readers with all relevant information as soon as possible .
