Haven’t played Origins, but Odyssey is a banger fucking game, bogged down by its relation to AC. I feel like Ubisoft should’ve dropped AC a decade ago and instead focus on a new series focused on exploring different eras. Seeing ancient Athens and vibing with Socrates and Herodotus was great. I even liked the cult assassination thing, but eveytime they did some AC bullshit I just rolled my eyes. Also jfc the billion sidequests and busy map markers suck.

They gave it a bit of a go with Immortals but seemed to miss the mark in some areas.

Give it a more realistic look, a story that takes itself seriously, and more RPG elements, and they'd be on the money.

look I'll let you get away with origins as the vibes are immaculate and bayek are aya are really interesting characters and it's apparently really historically accurate but no way is oddysey better than any of the games in the ezio trilogy revelations is absolutely the best game
