With so few compromises between quantity and quality, Odyssey vaults over its predecessors to become the most impressive game in the history of the series. While I initially found the mercs who were sicced on me to be little more than loot pinatas, as I leveled up the generic names and descriptors — like Ilona the Agile who was admittedly quite agile until I sunk her vessel and she drowned in the Aegean — began to get more bombastic and threatening. For example, Mariah the Glimmering dogged me throughout my levels and her flaming spear and voracious pet lion worked in tandem to skewer or maul me into sweet oblivion on multiple occasions. I eventually just started running away when she had tracked me down, before finally ending her reign of terror some ten levels later. Similarly, the nation struggle system allows you to help the war effort for either Sparta or Athens in each region. While these huge melee or naval battles are thoroughly excellent combat scenarios and reward you with some good loot, they mean disappointingly little to the story. Eventually, I got to a point where I was able to weaken a region and trigger a conquest battle rather quickly, which made these mini-wars effectively farmable. That sucks some of the grandeur out of them, but seeing a hundred soldiers, captains, and mercenaries locked in combat is always a sight to behold. Odyssey smartly offers you the chance to upgrade an old piece of gear to your level for a hefty fee, depending on its rarity. Leveling is a seamless experience, and though it predictably slows the higher you get, I never felt like I was spinning my wheels for an excessively long time before being rewarded. Each holds powerful abilities that can devastate on the battlefield, and while I opted to turn Alexios into a killing machine by focusing almost entirely on the warrior tree I also dabbled in the others, enough to pick up Archer skills like the head-splitting Predator Shot and the Shadow Assassin ability that made silent kills more reliable.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the eleventh main installment in the Assassin's Creed series developed by Ubisoft. The game continues the series' transition into the action role-playing genre started by Assassin's Creed: Origins , retaining most of its predecessor's features while introducing new ones, most notably player choices which can influence the story. It is also the first installment since Assassin's Creed: Rogue to feature a major emphasis on naval combat, with players being given command of a ship called the Adrestia. The protagonist, Kassandra , is a mercenary who fights on both sides of the conflict as she attempts to reunite her broken family, eliminate a secretive organization known as the Cult of Kosmos , and uncover the mysteries of ancient technology left behind by the Isu. The modern-day narrative features the return of Layla Hassan , the protagonist introduced in Assassin's Creed: Origins , who has joined the Assassins and is leading the search for the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus. Odyssey uses a lot of the gameplay and interface mechanics of Origins , including the radial compass, and the return of a bird that can survey the landscape, spot treasure, and highlight and harass enemies. The game features RPG elements, including dialogue options, branching quests, multiple possible endings, romance options, and the ability to select between a male or female protagonist.
