Assassin's Creed Odyssey

A Game That Lives Up to Its Title

I fully admit that I have never played an Assassin's Creed game before Odyssey. But when Ubisoft pivoted from stealth and action to more open-world sandbox style, I knew it was only a matter of time before I jumped in. Given that two Melted Joystick friends highly-rated this, I just had to pick a time when I wanted to play what I figured was going to be a long journey.

Ghost of Tsushima Review comment

Ha, ha, "Power of the PS5." More like, "Power of any computer with the equivalent of an RTX 2060 inside."

Alternativa Review comment

Horizon: Zero Dawn Review comment

This is pretty much the ONLY PS4 exclusive I'm interested in. Maybe I'll get to play it if it comes to the Epic Store... or maybe I'll borrow your PS4 once you blow $500 on a PS5.
