I've been pondering the viability of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey as a AAA RPG to tide me over until Cyberpunk 2077 is out. That price tag hurts, though, and reminds me of one of the big reasons I've mostly stuck with the indie and AA scene this last half-decade. Any of you guys considering it?
Yes. I like Greek lore and visited Greece recently-ish. I almost liked Origins but couldn't really get into the setting or main character.
So I'll probably pick this up. Agree about the price, so look for discounts. I try for 20% off and it helps.
Also this:
"With Assassins Creed going into a full-fledged Open World RPG, we were like "Hey! Choices are a thing."
I think that's a laudable perspective.
Looking like Witcher: Greece in terms of gameplay goals. It will, I'm sure, fall quite short but even the attempt makes it more interesting to me.
