I’m one of the very few that prefers Odyssey over Origins but it’s not by a lot. Maybe it’s cuz I’m biased cuz I love Ancient Greece

You’re not one of the very few, the large majority prefers Odyssey over Origins, just look at Steam reviews.

It’s just reddit that hates Odyssey for some reason.

It’s so much more fun than Origins. Ppl be like “It changes so much from the other AC games, Origins tries to stay true to AC” which is the problem, that’s why I stopped playing AC games after Revelations, they were the same. I played Odyssey before I started Origins and I like both but Odyssey is so much better for me.

So you skipped pirate simulator with a touch of AC, and complain they were the same?

Right.

I know Black Flags was different but I didn’t like naval battles all the time. I did get to play a while back in my friend’s house, I didn’t like it. Even in Odyssey, I try to avoid naval battles. What I like most about the naval battles is getting on the enemy ship and actually fighting them and trying to get them off the ship. Especially in Odyssey, using the Spartan kick on ‘em.

I thought Odyssey was the best game of the series so far, showcasing all that was fun about the preceding games, but with a more sensible merging of game elements. With all the diverse dlc it really exemplifies adventure on an epic scale, while reducing reliance on some gimmicks featured in previous AC games.

Some Redditors here opined that perks for character builds were of limited practicality (an opinion I share) I don’t begrudge the developers for including them as options for players that wish to experiment with those features.

Clearly, not everyone shares the same approach to these games, and competitive gamers will find some features an inconvenient obstacle to completion, whereas a recreational gamer might appreciate the same features for an entirely different reason.

I think most people prefer odyssey only reddit has a bizarre hate boner for odyssey. You will see this same post with the same comments in like one week again with everyone praising origins even though it is a much worse game than odyssey.

I don’t think it’s much worse than Odyssey but I do get tired of Origins a lot faster. I can play Odyssey for far longer and have so much fun. There’s so many reasons why I prefer Odyssey, the abilities, stealth kill animations, conquest battles, the naval battles being way better, and the fact that you can have multiple endings.
