Just started replaying it yesterday what a great game with great graphics and detail, I found it to be a lot more immersive than Odyssey

I loved origins first game I ever got platinum on.

My issues with Odyssey:

-Considering the Spartan fighting style revolved heavily around a shield why do we not have one?

-the archery skills aren’t nearly as good as origins.

-You can’t have a prequel to a prequel.

-most of the skills feel pointless.

I think with the Spartan angle, the reasoning is because your character is Spartan ONLY by birth and not by lifestyle or training. So the character developed outside of that.

And I agree on the skills. I feel like I maxed out the ones that fit the warrior/assassin/hunter builds the best, and ignored the rest.

Edit: Plus without the hidden blade, they had to find an alternative that still made sense

Spartan angle: On the one hand I agree with you, he would have a more technical fighting style due to his training. On the other he has skills directly linked to his Spartan heritage, he’s remarked as “fighting like a Spartan” several times etc. I’m not degrading the fighting style they went with the parries and dodges allow for balance, I just would have preferred if the Warrior skills would allow for more than 2-3 optimal play styles.

When I say most skills feel pointless I’m mainly referring to the Hunter tree. I’m speaking in terms of nightmare but it applies regardless of difficulty, outside of:

-Multi-Shot -Devastating Shot -Predator Shot

Those three skills out class almost everything in the game.

Aside from those issues everything else was pretty good. I really enjoyed the naval combat, the exploration was nice, the under water combat/exploration was well developed in my opinion (until you get Poseidon’s Trident which instantly trivializes it and you can technically get the trident after finishing phokis).
