Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivers an epic journey

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a game that lives up to its name, says Ronan Jennings.

WE’RE often told to focus on the journey, and not the destination. In the case of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, enjoying the journey is the difference between loving or hating the game.

As you explore the beautifully-crafted world of Ancient Greece in Ubisoft’s latest epic, you’ll soon be faced with a trial worthy of Odysseus himself: the combat system. If you can find enjoyment in the minute-to-minute gameplay of Odyssey’s hack and slash confrontations, then the world itself becomes a treasure trove of storytelling, wonder and fantasy role-playing.
