Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey review-in-progress — Impossibly dense

For the second year in a row, Ubisoft is launching a new Assassin’s Creed game. Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is the latest entry in the series, and it is coming out on October 5 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It follows the adventures of Greek mercenaries Alexios or Kassandra, depending on who you choose. And it takes place during the Peloponnesian Wars that pitted Athens and Sparta against one another.

But within that new setup, you’ll recognize a lot of Assassin’s Creed formula. The biggest difference this time around is that you will get more Assassin’s Creed than ever before. You will also get more variety and role-playing elements.
