Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Originally released on October 5, 2018, this action role-playing game combines articulate combat with massive open-world environments. It’s quite honestly one of the best games to come out for this generation of consoles, including the PS4 and Xbox One.
Now, you can get this 11th major installment in the series for only $20 at GameStop. For everything this game offers, this is an incredible value. You wouldn’t be wrong in buying this game at full price, quite honestly. The setting is so unique compared to the previous entries: The onset of the Peloponnesian war. Athens is pitted against Sparta for control of the world of Greece.
There are over 60 hours of gameplay to enjoy in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. These hours aren’t devoid of any real substance, either. You’ll be on compelling missions and completing historical-fiction plot points all throughout your journey. PC and console gamers have so much value to enjoy right out of the gate.
The environments that you can explore have never been better. The beautiful seas have a striking luster as the sun sets upon them. The buildings are aged and full of life. Deserts go on for miles, while the beaches feel just as expansive. You could honestly spend days exploring the various settings and still have a good time.
There is a lot of freedom in this game as well. Your character is free to choose pretty much any role they want, be it a silent assassin or deadly sociopath. It’s all up for grabs in this latest Assassin’s Creed title. You don’t need to have prior experience with any of the previous installments, either. You can simply jump right in and feel immersed in the beautiful and historic world of Greece.
The protagonists in this game also have a lot of depth. You feel for their plight and hang on their every word at times. A lot of games today fail to get this aspect right, often showcasing half-worked characters with throw-away lines. Not this game, fortunately.
If you’re new to this series or have been around since the beginning, now is the perfect time to grab a copy of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more in-depth game at such a great value of $20.
GameStop really is giving power to the players. For that, gamers around the globe are giving their salute.
