I’m still playing AC Odyssey and having a ball doing it but it’s been going on so long I couldn’t tell you the finite details of what’s been going on. The main beats sure but I’m not playing this for some groundbreaking narrative but to be lost in this beautiful world and explore and have fun. I chose Alexios in the beginning and 89 hours later wish I’d picked Kasandra but Im too far in.
I said all that to say this. This review at one point says that you connect with your character in Odyssey more than you would Nathan Drake or Aloy and I disagree. I connected especially with Aloy and absolutely fell in love with her. Even though it was open world the story was interesting and I found myself searching for holo tapes and at the end it all came together. Same with A Theif’s End, absolutely knew where Nate was coming from because I’d played as him through three previous games. Heck I connected more with Edith Finch than I have with Alexios!
With Odyssey I’ve completed the main game but I’m still having fun but the narrative isn’t what’s keeping me going it’s just fun and maybe it’s because it’s so big I play it sometimes weeks apart. I played Witcher III for two years and always knew what was going on. Odyssey has been a blur but a really fun blur and I’m having fun.
