Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Mythology, Mayhem, and Spartan Kicks

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Review (PS4)

Let’s be real—Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was my first-ever AC game, and honestly? It made me a fan.I know the internet can be harsh on the “new wave” Assassin’s Creed games. I’ve seen all the debates: “It’s not like Black Flag!”, “It’s not real AC unless it’s stealth-only!”—but for someone who didn’t grow up on the classics like AC III or Brotherhood, this game was a wild ride in the best way possible.

Odyssey Introduced Me to the Creed

The second I dropped into ancient Greece, I was hooked.

• Greek mythology + open-world RPG = my kind of game
  
• You can go stealth or go full Spartan warrior, and that freedom is what makes it so fun
  
• Whether you’re sniping from rooftops or charging into a fight, the mechanics allow for both playstyles
  

Combat isn’t perfect—but it’s smooth, engaging, and always feels rewarding. That Spartan Kick? Legendary. Never gets old launching someone off a cliff.

Graphics, Story & Immersion

For a PS4-era game, the graphics are still top-notch. The landscapes, ancient architecture, and character detail are super immersive. I genuinely felt like I was exploring real Greek islands—complete with ruins, statues, and war-torn cities.

The story is also pretty good. It’s not a true story, but it pulls from historical events and mythology in a way that made me want to look things up after playing. Some of it was actually accurate, which made it even cooler.

Freedom to Explore – And It’s Massive

This game is huge. You could spend hours just roaming around, doing side quests, hunting cultists, or looting treasure from sunken ships. The map is massive, and the world actually rewards exploration.

From sailing the Aegean Sea to discovering mythical beasts—there’s always something to do.

Odyssey vs Origins

After finishing Odyssey, I played Assassin’s Creed Origins too—and loved that one as well. 

• Origins has the Egyptian mystique. Read the full review on Assassin’s Creed Origins here.
  
• Odyssey brings in the Greek gods and war culture. Both games are fire, but Odyssey holds a special place because it was my first dive into the franchise.

Final Verdict – 4/5 Ups!

I didn’t Platinum Odyssey (some of the trophies made no sense—lol), but I still spent countless hours in the game and don’t regret a second. For anyone who’s curious about Assassin’s Creed RPGs, this is a perfect starting point.

🎮 4/5 Ups! Highly recommended if you’re into mythology, open-world action, and don’t mind launching people off cliffs for fun. Up for the challenge? Purchase Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
