Me still shouting that AC: Odyssey & Origins are the best games in the series while blindfolded against the wall in front of the firing squad.
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.
