Article Summary

The article “Assassin's Creed Odyssey review – an epic journey through ancient Greece” written by Holly Nielsen is devoted to the review of the game and discussion of the enormous journey through the times of ancient Greeks. First, the author draws our attention to the first choice every player have to make. It is choosing between the two equally courageous characters - Kassandra and Alexios. The author explains that this step is very important because it moves the story forward in comparison with the historical and family drama. Then the author writes about the plot of the game and how it is connected with the real historical figures. As an example, he writes about Sparta and the most famous person of those times – Leonidas. The author says that this game is perfect place to see and explore ancient Greece. You can scramble through temples and historic places, run through noisy markets, cling to stone cliffs over ultramarine seas, and gallop on a horse through autumn forests. In the conclusion, Holly Nielsen gives the rate to the game by saying that Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the unique project with incredible story. However, it is not a full re-creation of ancient Greece, but an interesting world created by Ubisoft. The author adds that this game consumes your time, but it definitely worth it.
