Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Experience

The Assassin’s Creed series returns to us with a new version, namely Odyssey, from the development studio Ubisoft Québec, which previously presented us the game Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and after several parts with different levels we got the game Assassin’s Creed Origins last year has the Gained acceptance from a large portion of players and brings us a new version of the series this year. It is an odyssey in another time and a new civilization in which we can live and discover its many secrets.

I won’t tell you a secret that I was afraid to try this version. Despite my passion for the series, what I saw from the promotional offers didn’t convince me at first and I was afraid that it would be a different version of Origins. There were some modifications and bells and whistles here and there, but the developers’ enthusiasm in theirs Lecture across multiple sites was ambitious. Their desire was clearly to offer a different and bold experience while introducing several new ideas that were introduced for the first time in the series. Are you managing this and keeping your promises to players? We will discuss this in the following lines of our review of the game.

Choosing Your Hero and Unveiling Ancient Greece

At the beginning you have to choose one of the two heroes. You can play as Cassandra or Alexios, knowing that the decisions you make are yours, not the character you choose. The decisions you will make will affect the change in the story, have direct and indirect effects on you and the game world, making every decision you make extremely important. This gives the decisions a sense of freedom that we’ve never seen before in the series. The events of this part take place in ancient Greece during a time when devastation and war were spreading between Athens and Sparta. This is where your character comes out as a mercenary who works only for money. Here you don’t strive to do good or anything else, and your character may not care about the ultimate goal or whatever. What matters is the money, and then you start an exciting journey with our hero to learn more facts about his world and his family, and you work to make your own decisions by following the lines of the story and the events Write down the game world on your journey.

The game offers a distinctive narrative, and the game does not stop presenting many surprises and unexpected events to make the story more interesting and make you want to read it to the end. From the first moment in the game you will see new ideas. First of all, you have the choice to choose the play style that suits you. You can choose guided tour mode, which is a traditional experience with signs displayed. Missions and their locations are displayed on the map at all times, or you can choose the exploration mode, which is a mode in which you have to search the world to discover objectives, mission locations, etc., for a different experience full of exploration for those who like this Love kind of experience.

A New Combat System and Vast Exploration

As for the gameplay style, we can divide it into three main sections: the combat system, the exploration and the ship battles. As for the combat system, many changes have been made and it has become faster and more interactive, especially with expansions Many skills that allow you to develop your own fighting style. The skills are divided into three categories: “Assassin,” “Warrior,” and “Hunter.” You can choose the skills that suit your play style. If you prefer to play in stealth style, you can focus on the skills that are suitable for this type of game. If you are a fan of direct confrontations, that option also exists and you can combine the different types to create a style. That’s it It’s unique to you and gives you complete freedom to choose the appropriate weapon for your style, except that any armor or clothing you wear in battle will directly reveal the change in the hero’s appearance.

You can wander the vast world and discover what is hidden, storm the enemy’s strongholds and their various strongholds, search for treasure or even search for bandits and eliminate their leaders and much more, from exploring the scattered caves to hunting them down various wild animals. There are many, many tasks to complete, areas to discover and historical figures to meet. There is still a lot to do in this huge world, but we leave it to you to explore this and one of them yourself. The most important feature of the game is that it offers you a living world. Sometimes you will see predators hunting, or some of the battles that take place in some villages as you walk through them, or even daily carpentry and carving work. And roadside art.

Thrilling Ship Battles and Abundant Missions

Going back to the main points of the game, the focus in this version was once again on ship battles, and I found them to be very satisfyingly presented and not overly involved. There are many different side quests for you to accomplish if you wish, be it by overthrowing a certain number of enemy ships or by exploring the islands. As you search for new treasures from afar, you will always work to evolve your ship to withstand the continuous increase in strength of enemy ships. You will work B. to develop and improve the ship, increase damage, develop arsenal, stamina and much more. All of this happens through the resources you collect on your journey, or by destroying enemy ships or even destroying them. Your old weapons that you no longer need.

The game offers you a large number of different missions, including main story missions, side missions and stories for secondary characters. This is in addition to the daily and weekly missions that are renewed and after completing which you will receive many resources and points to develop your character.

Visually Stunning and Immersive

Graphically, the game presents us with a dazzling world with a beautiful variety of colors and the mastery of the smallest details, from the reflection of sunlight on bodies of water to the elaborate facial expressions during dialogues, observing details of movement and facial expression that we have in the series never seen before. The game also offers an amazing variety of audio as you wander around. In this vast world, from conversations to the sounds of rippling water and the sounds of birds from a nearby area, it gives you a feeling of greater integration into this particular world, while most of the characters have good voice acting, the dialogues in the Generally well written and the menus and options in Arabic are excellent.

Well, our experience wasn’t entirely perfect. We had a number of technical problems here and there, especially when running a long distance on a horse. The movement could pause for a few seconds to allow the game to load the remaining areas. This is in addition to the fact that you’ll see the loading screen repeatedly before and after conversations with some characters and when transitioning from exploration mode. Switch to normal mode, and although it only lasts a few seconds, it happens frequently during gameplay.

The game offers us dozens of hours of fun in a world that is the freest and most varied in the series, as well as a wide variety of combat and exploration methods, making us a game worth trying.
