I have played, now, 30 hours of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which I think means I’m about half way through (the main story, that is, not the entire game, which is so vast it might as well be infinite when set against the free time most adults have). Odyssey is a curious mythic beast. Though there are additions to the core of Assassin s Creed Oranges, they also subtract their own import to the game by only existing as much as you want to interact with them. Odyssey ends up being almost exactly the sum of its parts.
I d like to see more of those parts, but I can only put off a review for so long before it becomes useless to you, the reader. As today is its release day, I must curse my ancestors, push my face to the grindstone, and tell you wot I think of Ubisoft’s latest epic — at least, so far. I will cycle back and update you once my own personal odyssey is finished.
