I have played this game for almost 120 hrs in the past 2 weeks. I am a university student and those two weeks were the weeks I had my midterm exams. I can safely say I studied more for this game then I did for those midterms and while my grades have fallen, my addiction to this game. This game is so much fun, this is a problem, this is my cry for help, help me.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this game, it suck, the everything sucks. Worst game ever, but I still go back to it and play this ♥♥♥♥ so I will give it a thumbs up.

This game suck ass

After playing this game for over 2000 hours within 2 years, I can say this game is definitely something worth playing, mainly because I love historical war technology. I didn't spend more than 30 bux on this game but have many premiums due to the many events you can grind by just playing the game, and using the gaijin market. Def better then the only other game similar to it, which is world of tanks.

EDIT: This game summed up in 1 line, "I look, nothing, I move, appear 2"

Ok I just LOVE this game. Lets talk about it.

First things first, all these people out here complaining about the microtransactions, pointless, they grant no help what so ever. The tool to help you spot all the treasures on the map? Did someone forget about google? Other things are just cosmetics or a slight help to progress you along, which is practically useless, since the gear and resources you can get within 1 - 2 hours of grinding. So in conclusion, microtranactions? Useless unless you are a rich spoiled brat or just want to support ubi. Also just a fyi it's a single player game, so if another player buys something off the shop, it WON'T affect you in any way. This is also a RPG game so it is excepted to have these microtransactions.

Alright so we have gotten microtransactions out of the way, let's talk about the core gameplay of AC: ODYSSEY. Storyline? 9/10. It is extremely interesting, will leave players hungry for more, yes somethings you will need to grind and beat hard bosses, but you just need to learn the combat system. Now combat system, 10/10. Best AC combat I have ever experienced, yes there are a few glitches, but I have only ever had 2 or 3 during my time in combat. Gear system? OH MAN DO I LOVE IT, 11/10. Of course that is only if you are into RPG games like me, I love the grind and the leveling of gears. If you want to know how to get legendary, just look at your quests, merks, and cultists, or just google it, your call. Boat fighting mechanic, eh 8/10. Not the best, at least compaired to Black Flag. Don't get me wrong here, but the boat combat on the water is extremely fun, it's just the boarding part that needs work. Sometimes my crew won't come with me because their scared and I have to face 20 guys alone. Also you can't really do any damage to the enemy crew before boarding since there is no cannons, but of course this is 431 B.C. Now the assassinations, ohhh weeee, 100/10. I have never been so hyped about killing someone, the spear stuck in one end of the enemy and pulls it out on the other end. Damn is that satisfying. Last but not least, the abilities. The ability tree is very well thought and out executed. I love it, it's really balanced, except for when you find a ability combo that is overpowered as hell. Also you can't spam the abilities, there is a stamina system, 9/10. The game is difficult and requires more brain power then other AC games, so just be prepared to use the big brains.

Only downsides to this game is the amount of glitches, there is quite a few, but most are small and unnoticable. Also the optimization, people have been screaming OH MY GAWD, 50 fps? UNPLAYABLE. I personally don't mind it, but of course it would be nice if they did something about it. I'm running a gtx 1050 ti and a ryzen 1200 O.C. to 3700 MHz and 16 Gb of DDR4 2667 MHz ram, and am getting about 30-55 fps on low-med. I find it totally playable, but if ubi can do something about it, and allow me to play a 60 fps, that would be pretty neat. Also the game can be a bit pricy.
