Picked up Odyssey on the 18th after I was finally back in the country, just been mashing like a loon. I love this game so far! This is my alltime favourite historical period and I know a lot about this war so that is probably influencing it a bit, but I'm just finding it so fun (I'm also in the early going; just left Kephalonia, so nothing is repetitive yet). I like the move to full RPG which has surprised me.
Impressive upgrade in naval combat over Origins (which was the first AC game where I felt naval was a disappointing slog), and combat feels like an upgrade over Origins and more challenging. I've elected to play on Hard so I'm not finding I'm able to just bull rush into a location and superhero everybody to death - I have died a LOT so far - so it's added to the challenge for me and desire to use stealth.
The graphics look very similar to Origins but I love all the added colour and inclusion of waves around shorelines, and it's a lot lighter than the brooding Bayek (who I also liked). The music is amazing too, even the map has me nerding out. Love this setting so much...I don't know how I'm going to kick this to the back burner in under a week for RDR2
