Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

Set in ancient Greece during the conflict between Sparta and Athens, the game casts you as an outcast Spartan mercenary drawn into a search for family and a struggle against a secretive cult. You can choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra.

Explore islands, cities, ruins, and countryside on foot, on horseback, or aboard your ship. Take on quests, scout enemy locations, use stealth or fight openly, battle at sea, and confront mythological creatures.

Dialogue choices can affect characters and events, while levels, equipment, and skill upgrades let you develop your approach to combat and stealth. You can customize your ship as well as your character.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its vivid recreation of ancient Greece and the freedom to explore its landscapes, landmarks, and islands by ship. Reviews also highlight the combat, character builds, and memorable protagonists, with some players especially drawn to the historical and mythological setting. Others find the large amount of content repetitive or overly demanding, so the long adventure is not equally engaging for everyone.
