It told the story of the first assassin and seemed to pave the way for some exciting narratives.

So, it makes sense for fans to be a bit surprised whenAssassins Creed Odysseywas announced.

However, most gamers have not experienced a game this expansive that strives to be historically accurate.

Ubisoft developers have worked to produce one of the most in-depth historical open world experiences in gaming.

Will this game be stellar or a step into the wrong direction?

Considering how good Origins was, is this a bad things?

ASO - Simple Combat

WhileOdysseydoes a great job of providing variety in a lot of different ways, combat islacking.

The one area where variety absolutely cannot lack.

Trigger buttons can perform melee attacks, and a lot of the combat depends on timed attacks.

ASO - Stealth

After a while, it might start to feel repetitive.

The unlockable abilities really set this part of the game off to something players will enjoy.

24Worst: The Voice Acting Could Use Some Work

Unfortunately, developers cannot do it all.

Every studio has an Achilles heel (no pun intended).

ASO - Voice Acting

via comicbook.com

It seems to be that voice acting is thedrawbackof this game.

The voicing for most of the characters is not consistent.

Some sound as if they were born in Greece, while others do not sound as if they are.

ASO - Spartan Kick

Maybe they should have subbed instead of dubbed.

Kassandra is the most consistent character as far as voicing and acting.

The other main characters could definitely use some work.

ASO - Meaningless Missions

via pcgamesn.com

It may be one of the most famous combat moments in a film of all time.

Other games have borrowed this move, but no one seems to have done it justice likeOdyssey.

Arevieweron IGN stated that he used the Spartan Kick more than any other combat move in the game.

ASO - Good Storyline

via pcgamer.com

It is useful and an excellent reminder of another powerful moment in pop culture.

That 60-hour game time is not for nothing; it is filled with much content.

Busy work is not cool in school and it definitely isnt here either.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

So, even though the game does have moments of meaningless missions, the storyline makes it worth while.
