Odyssey is a great assassin's creed
Hello i just wanted to yap about this game a bit. Why do people feel like odyssey is not a true ac game? I understand the criticism on a surface level but I feel like its so obvious if you really explore the game that the developers did focus on an ancient greek assassin fantasy. Like, the political discussions about freedom and order are all present around the game, its not in your face but the nuance is definitely there. There is no brotherhood but its clear to me the game wants to show how the assassins ideals where present way before their conception, almost in a mythological way, with our protagonist. The stealth feels amazing if you build for it and the assassin outfits you can make are some of the best in the whole series. There is always a special parkour/stealth way of dealing with a fortress or camp and the mission structure allows for so much freedom and expression. Game is also packed with awesome little details in this huge world like Alexios commenting on sunrise. To further prove my point, i did a little side quest in lalaia and choose to make the blaksmith build armor for the village. To my welcome surprise, every village member then had an armor that is so obviously assassin inspired, i wanted one for myself. Also i always play stealth and never feel like that is ruining my experience, on the contrary since enemies are definitely too healthy even on low difficulty.
Sorry for the long rant, I just want to show love to odyssey not just as a game, but as an assassin's creed. Malaka!
