As an ancient history buff I enjoyed them both very much. It's a tough choice, I'd probably pick Origins just because I prefer ancient Egypt. What a pity Valhalla imho didn't live up to its predecessors though.
I had the most fun playing origins, with Valhalla next and Odyssey last. Odyssey felt so soulless as an open world and i hate the mythology addition. The mythology in origins was tolerable and im a sucker for anything viking which is why im a little more leniant with valhalla.
I'll put it this way, I liked Origins because Ubisoft did the best they can do with a smaller version of Egypt, but I LOVED Odyssey because Ubisoft basically gave gamers a whole history lesson in the form of a video game, I literally love just how accurate Odyssey is with nearly every Ancient Greek island on the map plus the Mythical worlds were S tier DLCs, even though it didn't feel like Assassin's Creed, it was a fun, free for all Assassin's Creed, and I loved every second of it (have over 400 hours of play time btw)
The whole "even though it didn't feel like an AC game..." complaint is oddly cringe, it's like everyone that makes that complaint tend to be the Timmy no thumbs who absolutely suck at gaming and only felt competent with the mechanics of the old games.
@@escapedcops08 no bro, people dislike the new games because theyre so far from what the original fans enjoyed that its not assassins creed anymore. You act like it takes skill to play the new ones anyway lmao
@@escapedcops08 Bro it was nothing like the true AC games I can see what's not there however I believe its a perfect way to show the origins of the Assassins lie the leap of leap and honestly the closet to the AC lore Odyssey did go through was the Isu, which is why I said AC Odyssey has S tier DLCs
I have to agree, after playing Odyssey, I felt like this was great experience. I loved it. I didn't have the same feelings with origins (unless we are talking Dragon Age).
I played AC Odyssey first and loved it. I was never an Assassins' Creed fan, so i treated it as an open world rpg. I then went back and played Origins. Despite Odyssey having improvements in the rpg mechanics, i liked Origins better. The focus on one protagonist, Bayek, made him more compelling than Kassandra/Alexis (or whatever the male version name was). Ancient Egypt was also a more interesting setting to me, though i liked Ancient Greece too. I like both games but Origins is the one i'd replay again. Both are better than Valhalla though, which bored me and i never finished.
@@MillerTheOriginal Yes, Valhalla is - in my opinion - the better game. I admit that Valhalla is very repetitive and the quests are repeated several times. But Valhalla doesn't suffer from the insane logic holes and the side quests that can only be called stupid as hell, which completely spoil an Odyssey. Just the beginning of Odyssey: Kassandra/Alexios are mercenaries who have been living on a rather small island for years. And yet they don't have any useful equipment, don't know their way around their homeland and don't even know where the house of their mentor, who took them in as a child, is located. Plus the daily randomly generated quests from a bulletin board like in an MMO. What shoud that? Odyssey has a grandiose landscape with superbly designed buildings. But these landscapes are meaningless. There is nothing interesting there. Miles of boredom yawning. Only interrupted by small empty spaces, on which the next visit is guaranteed to be a randomly generated camp with 3 soldiers, where the next randomly generated stupid side quest will be forced upon the player. A word about the so-called humor in the game. How old can you be to still be able to laugh at the listed embarrassments? Ten? Twelve? Certainly nothing more.
@@horantelgar8730 interesting opinion. I respect it, certainly dont agree with it. Much of what you said is worse in Valhalla. And Valhalla bring's with it a whole host of more problems. I really do believe that Valhalla was there to appeal to everyone. Which I think it did. I played it and enjoyed it. Then it got boring so I moved on. And so did many others.
Origins is more immersive I´d say but Odyssey is way bigger and has gorgeous world to explore. It catches this "ancient greek mediterrean hot summer sea vibe" perfectly. Loved both games and they are my fav AC games. I was there since day one when AC 1 dropped but Origins and Odyssey got a special place in my heart. I love ancient greece & ancient egypt.
I just cant say enough amazing things about Origins. I'm a hhuggeee fan of Egyptian hystory, so this was such an amazing experience. Haven't played Odyssey yet, but I know it will be good too.
@bingly bingler oh and I totally agree with you. I won't be 100% the game because it's alot of busy work, but I put 60 hours into the game and I did alot of the side missions. I think that's a good amount for a game this size. The time I did spend with it though was really fun!
Is assassins Creed Odyssey better than Origins? My answer is no. Odyssey is not a bad game but it caused me to play Black Flag again. Origins was easier to upgrade, side missions matter in order to make your character stronger. Bootleg mummies, that was cool.bayek was a tough character and I liked how alot of the animals were apart of the story as well.
I find Origina way better. Moreover in my opinion Odyssey sucks. Letting a player change character's role and influence the story breaks the canon. This option just doesn't match AC franchise.
I loved Origins, then I played Odyssey. Odyssey is ah-mazing! They are both great! Kassandra honestly makes Odyssey the best though! Her voice actor knocked it out of the park! I also love the Odyssey music better as well!
can't believe some people actually like Kass.... she's a total dude in every sense of the word.... Shao Jun, Evie Fraye, Aveline de Grandpe, & Amunet are better written characters with some having much better character development & guess what, they all act like females! Kass on the other hand carries herself like a high-school jock.....
I'm not too much into Assassins Creed but I LOVED Odyssey, it is a HUGE game and I LOVED that about it, definitely worth a second play through but good God it's such a big game to start over
Origins is a better assassins creed game but Odyssey is just a straight up better game! I would rather have fun with a game then play another ok-ish assassins creed game(most are like that)
I love Odyssey as I love anything to do with Ancient Greece. Completed Mirage and now gone back to Odyssey so still playing it but with Kassandra this time
Origins is the better assassins creed game and has a good mix of open world. I think it really depends on what you are looking for if you want a more assassins creed game then origins is best. The problem I had with odyssey is the weapons you had to replace so much and literally do all the quests before you could move on. Odyssey isn’t an ac game it could be argued it’s a really good rpg but you could replace the assassins with another name and you couldn’t tell it’s an ac game
Origins was a much better game for the main fact that it made me feel like I was taking a tour through Roman Egypt. Landmarks were distinct and recognizeable. Greece was barely recognizable.
You're kidding me have you even played the game it is brimming with cool locations biomes cities all origins has is Alexandria and it pales in comparison to Athens
The game thats an exact picture of greece didn't look like greece? But the game that's just a blank desert with the occasional landmark fealt more authentic? Excuse you?
I get what he's saying. I, personally, found Odyssey to be better to "look at" but found Origins more immersive in exploring its temples and tombs. BTW, Alexandria wasn't the only "cool" city, there was also Memphis and Cyrene. But "pale" in comparison? I don't think so. There's nothing wrong, however, if you like the architecture style of ancient Greece more than ancient Egypt, but remember, it goes both ways. He may like the style of ancient Egypt more than ancient Greece
It's funny: When Odyssey first came out, so many people dunked on it for not being as good as Origins. Now, with time, calmer emotions, and hindsight, it's more of a 50/50 split and some articles doing "Wasn't Odyssey Great?" pieces. I personally preferred Odyssey more. I had a great deal of wandering around the map, doing side quests, improving my ranking, and killed a lot of of the cult before going back into the main quest and discovering we hadn't actually even been officially told about the cult yet😂. It was just more fun. There was something about Bayek I personally found flat. Though I am doing a second run-through of Origins now to try it again and see if my opinion changes given that people rate it so much higher than me.
@binglybingler2598Same, when i finished origins, it was a while before i played odyssey and thought it might be better. Only for me to go back to play origins and i realised i like it much more
i found Odyssey's characters flat, dull, and immersion breaking compared to Origins' i also found the story written better in Origins only thing Odyssey has is setting and expanded gameplay formula of Origins but Origins is better in almost everything else
@@gustavgustav2670 i mean, she sure does carry herself like one.... it's like hiring a male to do mocap (walks, run, acts like a dude) & then hiring writers who envision a male, i mean, look at her responses when she talks to basically everyone & then look at their responses; in that time, that era, they treat her like she's man.......... it litteraly Alexios as a female skin, no difference except their voices...... since you read my previous comment, you'd know every other female assassin is that much better by comparison, they act like females, walk & talk like females yet still able to do their assassining-shenanigans.... I bet Basim's mentor, Roshan, will be everything fans of Kass claim, & she'll do it as an actual female not a female skin
It's a subjective opinion. If someone likes Origins more, thats 100% valid and correct for them. If someone likes Odyssey more, thats 100% valid and correct for them. If someone likes Valhalla more, same as the others. It's deeply weird how gamers have an obsession with ranking games as if it was objective fact and not just personal preference. Then they get toxic and hostile to anyone that disagrees with their opinion. It's the single worst aspect of the gaming community. It does nothing but breed toxicity and hostile behavior.
Enjoying art is subjective, but there is a level of objectivity analysis that can be applied to any art. Techniques and execution can be superior in one game over another. Obviously, a game being technically superior doesn't mean somebody will enjoy it more, but it does make it more likely. The issue with video games is that people don't understand that liking something more doesn't mean it's better. That's why people get so absurdly toxic about video game analysis and comparison. Most people don't know what conversation is even about and lack the insight, understanding, and education/expertise to be able to meaningfully evaluate a video game in a technical sense. For example, I love Fallout 76. It is my most played game at 900+ hours. But it is objectively a bad game. If somebody said it was the best Fallout game, I would laugh in their face.
@@VegtamTheWonderer The issue is most people tend to think their opinion is objective fact. And if someone said FO76 was the best fallout, that is, in fact, valid, despite your claims otherwise. I dont agree, but it's valid. You, yourself, are making the same mistake i was talking about. Because there are technical aspects you could compare between games, but if thats all you're comparing, you're basically ignoring massive parts of a game. If you only judge games by objective technical metrics, then in your attempts to be objective and impartial, you are infact doing the opposite since you're disqualifying aspects of games that might put one above another for alot of people. Going back to your FO76 example. I played alot of that too, I actually think its pretty good. The lore and world building is, in my opinion , some of the best in the entire series. I'm just not a fan of the grindy "looter shooter" endgame lol. I'd seriously rate it above New Vegas for example cus i think that one is terribly written with bad gameplay. But thats going against common internet opinion.
Yep. About as bad as Far Cry 3 and GTA IV fans. I enjoy both games, but it feels overrated with how people make those games out to be. I played FC4 followed by FC3, and playing FC5 think that's the best Far Cry game. While GTA V wasn't as dark as IV, I actually prefer V over IV. I honestly never understood people who just try to change your mind. Everyone has a preference, and no one has the right to change that. You hate my most favorite, fine. But don't be rude when I don't agree with what you like.
There is always a proportion of players that will agree that a particular game is better. It seems between these two it is purely subjective and very divided, but sometimes a community can quite widely agree on a game being amazing or complete trash. It's always good to know what people think of it before purchasing it.
odyssey is the better option for me,still coming back to it every month to try out new builds, feel like the combat system is better too and its the only one of the 2 i platnumed
Origins. They can’t compare Odyssey made me feel empty and unaccomplished after 200 hours. I wanted to love it but it just felt boring and every enemy was a bullet sponge. The stealth wasn’t worth it and not having the hidden blade basically made this a weaker Witcher game. Also the whole making the Isu a big deal was awful. I still think it’s the worst part of the RPG series because I don’t care. Origins 10/10 Odyssey 4/10
Origins is better disregarding location. That being said, people's opinions will be heavily favored due to the location. Personally, I like Greece and Greek mythology more than Egypt and their mythology, so I enjoyed Odyssey more.
Maybe you never lost someone in your life but for me Origins hits home. I can relate to Bayek a lot more. Plus in Origins you get a taste of both Egyptian, and Greek culture as in Odyssey you’re only stuck playing in Greece.
I'm not really sure which is "better" as that's a really nebulous term/metric. But I definitely had more FUN playing Odyssey. Namely because I didn't take any of it seriously. So many of the side quests were literally greek comedies, filled with raunchy humor and ridiculous contrivances, I basically just played the thing like a huge play I was acting out. I had my protagonist literally fuck everything the he had the opportunity to fuck, because why not. Always joked and laughed at stuff when it came up. And it was super fun.
@@Link-zm2uz I mean it's your game, you do you. I don't think you're really missing anything if you stop playing Origins. The plots aren't really woven together much. You know, no more than any other AC titles might be. I'll say personally I enjoy the setting or Origins more than Odyssey, but I'm more of an Egyptophile than a Grecophile. But I can definitely say I had more FUN playing Odyssey.
@@Link-zm2uz Maybe? I dunno, I've kind of lost my shine for the AC franchise, and Ubisoft as a company can just go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. I might do what I did with Valhalla and just play it when it becomes FTP on the playstation store or something 🤷♂
Well, I prefer AC Odyssey. Mostly because I got to hookup with the hot doctor. I can't remember his name. Playing as Alexios, it was a nice, sweet diversion. Of course, there was also all the killing in the various forts. That was probably my favorite bit of the game. Especially setting a trap at the signal fire first, then just wiping out everyone except the slaves/workers.
Despite being an RPG gamer, I definitely preferred Origins. The story may be a bit simpler, but Odyssey never gave me chills, unlike a few Origins moments, like the farewell between Aya and Bayek. Also, Odyssey felt Bethesda-like (the side quests being more engaging and enjoyable than the main plot), so it was sometimes a slog to get through
Idc what anyone says, Odyssey and Valhalla are not (assassin)s creed games. Origins is the only one of the RPG series that has anything to do with the REAL assassins(hidden ones)
Ubisoft really piggy backed on the success of their franchise for those. Obviously they did it to get the biggest return on their investment but it's a bit of shame because as good as Odyssey is, it would be even better if it dropped all the pretense and focused on a new unique story.
Odyssey is great and a lot better than the original in my opinion, because i can really get immersed in that world. Im female so obviously i play Kasandra, i can connect with her emotions and get really emersed in her story.. Which i can not do playing gas the Male.
I prefer more Origins more than Odyssey. As a fan of the Old ac games, origins just felt more like a Assassins creed game than Odyssey did, plus loved Bayek as a character and Egypt was a great setting and had fun exploring each part of the map. Odyssey just felt lifeless at points, although Greece was stunning it just felt soulless and boring after a while, plus felt the RPG and choices could of been better and it focused to much on mythology rather than main real life story, plus hated the level scaling in the game, it just felt levelling up was pointless when every one around you will also level up with you. I did like Odyssey but it just didn't feel like an AC game, just Ubisoft attempt at an RPG game but with AC in the title.
@@DarkoRavens You're a dork If you thing Valhalla has AC elements. No amount of Social stealth and Hidden robes could be enough for a Viking to be an Assassin. Basim was more of an Assassin in Valhalla rather than Eivor. In Odyssey there was still some element of stealth left but in Valhalla they snatched that too. Now you have to forcefully raid settlements by announcing the trumpet not something any Assassin would ever do.
Origins was everything I couldve asked from an AC game. While adopting the RPG mechanics and style of gameplay, it didnt stray away completely from the AC name. Odyssey shouldve been treated as a separate game and shouldnt have been included in the AC franchise. The game looks stunning and has so much more potential when not associated with Assassins. Coming back to Origins, Bayek as a character was developed so well! You truly connected with the character and understood their emotions. You see the character grow and the development of the character is seen clearly. From a revenge story to finding purpose, the game made me feel like I have accomplished something. I wasnt really into all the supernatural stuff before but that grew on me + its ancient egypt, and the whole apple thing is already as supernatural as it can get. Its been 4 months since I last played Origins and now that I have the time to play again, I am definitely going back.
@@writerlairchannel2636 exactly and when they like something they unfortunately tend to make things personal if someone else is having a different view. I’ve been guilty of this before, but I try my hardest not to be.
I absolutely loved Odyssey and playing in ancient Greece. It really isn't a assassin's Creed game I have to admit. That being said I just couldn't get into origins. I know a lot of people really do like it but I just couldn't get into it for whatever reason. Same with Valhalla
Same, I think I played origins for less than 10 hours total. Tried going back to it at least 5 times and couldn't finish it. I've played Odyssey numerous times.
AC Odyssey is a good game without the Assassin's Creed title. The devs wanting to do their own thing while forcefully trying to still connect with the Assassin's Creed story somehow was a draw back. They should have just made it an entirely different game from AC.
Well, having only played Odyssey yet (I got the complete edition of Origins, but didn't started yet, because I already had a bad time finishing the game 100%), I can approve of the first part of this message. Best RPG I played, however, would be Tom Clancy's The Division 2
origins was a much better story to me. It's not about revenge, it's really about lost. I really felt for him as lost friends, his child, and wife. it really about emotion while odyssey story bored me
Odyssey is one of the greatest open world games ever. Kassandra was maybe the best voice actor of alltime and most fun character to play, also the gameplay is insanely fun. Origins was ok but the main character was unlikable and the story not near as fun
Hahaha. You're 'greatest' open-world game is not even among the Top 50 best-selling games lol. Even Valhalla generated more revenue than that garbage. Even the worst-selling CoD game has sold more than AC: Odyssey lmao. You're 'favourite' game is a failure and a disaster that alienated millions of AC fans
When it comes to story, AC Origins. When it comes to combat i prefer Odyssey. Doing spartan kick whenever I'm near a cliff lol. I have more fun playing AC Odyssey than Origins, I like the mercenary system at some of the random side quest (most of them is simple and boring as hell) Though it gets repetitive, still I will choose Odyssey.
It’s a tough choice. Considering that I love both these games. Even if they a different route away from the original tone of the early assassins creed games.
I like Odyssey the best, but in retrospect it’s probably because it was the first AC game I’ve ever played & so I just have an overwhelming fondness for it. Looking at it more objectively though, it’s definitely not the best AC game, lol. But it’s the one I’ve played the most. Origins had the best story imo-it was completely heart-wrenching. I really didn’t appreciate it though until I played it for a second time.
Interesting video. There are quite alot of factors which make me prefer origins. The ship gameplay, quite a long game (similar to valhalla) and repetition make odyssey my least favourite
Odyssey is ABSOLUTELY better. The amount of little detail they put into this game is cyberpunk worthy. All the way down to the mercenaries to the cultists. It's insane they are a year apart.
I have played both Origins and Odyssey, but my personal preference is Odyssey for Kassandra's character and the open-world, naval combat, side quests, dlcs, etc..... I prefer Kassandra as main character rather than Alexio who has a very deep voice as a villain. I cant imagine Kassandra being in a negative role at all.
I much preferred Odyssey. Origins has a great world and characters (Bayek is among the series' best protagonists), but the Souls-esque gameplay, levelling mechanics and complete removal of stealth as a viable gameplay style made it a slog to get through. The simple addition of fun combat abilities and reintroduction of stealth builds in Odyssey instantly made me involved enough in the game to meet the level curve, and it retained the glorious sun-soaked world design that made Origins stand out and is the real artistic achievement of the neo-Creeds.
"Complete removal of stealth as a vuable option"? I played origins mostly using stealth, only using combat in the arena and during boss fights. The stealth is actually pretty straight forward if you invest in the right abilities from the start. Odyssey on the other hand, I never felt compelled to use stealth because it really doesn't fit the vibe of the character. And when I did, I was faced with supernatural abilities such as teleportation, and not proper ac stealth
@@b4bniknext shitty open world AC that's not an ac. Ubisoft doesn't care about his fans and wants to make even more money and idiots are gonna psy for ot
I have close to 1,500 hours on Odyssey... It's by far my favorite Assassins Creed game. Although I also have close to 800 hours on Origins. My one and only complaint about Odyssey is that damn song that plays everytime you pause the game. If you know you know....
@@louiscirigliano5896 i understand you...VALHALLA was the most boring game I ever played...I gave up after 140 hours...ODYSSEY I played 3000 hours...the best...
The biggest problem I had with Odyssey is sometimes the dialogue would overlap. Like the second person would start their line before the first was done. Did anyone else have this problem?
The only problem I had was getting softlocked into a harbour wall with athenians attacking me, I only got out after one of them stunned me and knudged me out the wall.
I’ve played them both. And though origins was the very first game I played through. Odyssey absolutely killed it in how wonderful it was and still is. It’s my favorite game of all time. Thanks for the review.
I love the setting of Odyssey, but I connected better with Bayek instead of Kassandra. The pain and anguish he went through during the story really drove home what a fantastic character he really is. Kassandra is good too, more funny and quick witted, but just didn't really click with me. And I won't mention Alexios, he was just an unappealing choice.
AC Odyssey isn't a real AC game according to many fans but that's part of why it's my favorite of the entire franchise. I'm not an assassins creed fan but absolutely loved almost everything about Odyssey. IMHO, a lot of the complaints from fans about Odyssey not being an AC game could have been mitigated if Ubisoft marketed it as a prequal to the series since that essentially what is.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is most likely four point three times better than Assassin’s Creed Odyssey I know it’s very odd to see when you realize how the Assassin’s Origins exploit the real deal, feel wheel, squeal. Sealed.
Original has more attractive story’s, odyssey has better gameplay, idk why Valhalla removed the ship battle, which is one of the most enjoyable mode in all ac games. If can emphasis the trade between each settlement, odyssey will be an epic game. Unfortunately there are no trading between settlements.
I played origins when it came out and loved it. Recently, early 2023, I found a copy for cheap and decided to replay it and it's related DLC. I was so enthralled with it. I loved the world and the story. Bayek really appealed to me and the tomb exploration was just amazing. The combat I thoroughly enjoyed as well. I was hesitant about playing Odyssey. The combat looked too much like Syndicate which was a big turn off for me. however, In october my partner and I went on a trip to Greece. I loved the trip so much I decided to buy Odyssey and give it a try. I like finding places in games and comparing them to their real life counterpart. Honestly, i felt a lot of it was pretty accurate but when it came to the story and gameplay.... eh i was not impressed. It wasn't until near the end of the main story, cult story, and Atlantis story of the base game that I really began to connect with Alexios. Mostly because he had become a character that I had molded. It made the ending all the more bittersweet. So while i still think Origins is a better AC game (i also like linear stories. I like to see what a creator intended with a story) I do see why people like Odyssey so much. I'll be starting Valhalla soon. i've heard that it's long and boring but man Ubisoft has come a long way in terms of graphics and gameplay. It looks amazing.
Hated Odyssey. It just didnt feel as polished as Origins but what almost ruined the game for me were the merceneries/Phylakes. It was a ridiculously bad system and completely unrealistic. Every time you get spotted within less than a minute you have a bunch of overpowered merceneries hunting you down.
Both are amazing, but Odyssey is more complete, it also offers different landscapes, from snow in the mountains to the different islands. The right order is Odyssey > hades > Atlantis > origins > Origins DLCs. Also, chronologically, it makes more sense. I imagined Bayek as Kassandra's descendant since her son was sent to Egypt to escape the Occults. Someone told me it's his wife, but there must be something I missed.
I played both games for hundreds of hours, both where beautiful and I even developed a habit of taking a "brain vacation" by simply sailing on the Aegean (did the same in Witcher 3). But I really preferred Odyssey because of Cassandra. The voice acting was absolutely on spot, only comparable with female Shepard in Mass Effect.
Kassandra's character is so dude-like it was off-putting, she carried herself like a high-school jock. Better written female assassins are Evie Fraye, Aveline de Grandpe, Shao Jun, & Amunet. Re-read again, I'm not saying nothing of the voice just the characterization of Kassandra is immersion breaking when she acts like a high school jock compared to the aforementioned assassins who act like females - - - also, Mary Read from Black Flag had her reasons why she acted they way she did & it was very well-written
Origins of course is better AC game. Even more, you feel 3 cultures Greeks, Egyptian and Roman. Odyssey is a good RPG game but not AC game. I must forget that this game is part of AC franchise to get enjoyment from game. In my opinion - Fate of Atlantis completely destroy the vision of ISU race which is fundamental to the series.
Origins is the best middle-of-the-ground with light RPG and still have a linear story which AC should be. Assassin's Creed to me will always be a linear story since in its world we are reliving the memory of an ancestor and it just breaks immersion with the dialogue system. Ubisoft could have created a new IP with Odyssey and Valhalla, the mythology stuff in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla were phenomenal could have make a more grounded RPG "God of War" clone would be sick, only if Ubisoft had the balls to try and create a new IP.
As someone who grew up watching the old school assassins creeds, has a ps5 now and has never played an assassins game could you'll help me out here. Saving up for Mirage as it looks right upbmy alley with open world parkour and old school assassins creed parkour and a ton of stuff to do. So before that wanted to understand if one were looking for good parkour, an open world, solid gameplay good assassins style gaming and an open world which is worth exploring like closest to an RDR2 open world as in polish and variety of things to do, which one would you'll recommend. Origin or Odyssey? Thank you!
If you want The things you mention aren't as present in the new games, so I would recommend you to try out one of the earlier ones as well, especially since they are pretty cheap now (my personal choice would be to start with ac 2). Now, onto your question. Odyssey is probably the better open world out of the two, with a gameplay a bit more polished and more side activities. However, considering your criteria, I would rather recommend origins. It feels closer to a true assassin experience since you don't have supernatural powers (in odyssey you can acquire a skill that allows you to never die from fall damage, so the intensity in parkour is gone). The stealth system, while not as pushed as in the earlier games is still pretty satisfying (if you invest in stealth and bow skills as it will allow you to obtain tools and transform your bows into silent one shotters). While the parkour isn't great in either of them, and definitely not close to the earlier ones, I would say it is more satisfying in origins since you have more incentives to use it, and the city design is a bit more parkour friendly compared to odyssey
That's a tough one. Origins was the end of traditional A.C. games. Odyssey was longer, more targets and jump of the highest peak and take no damage. Odyssey was also funnier. Odyssey was better but not by much.
As an ancient history buff I enjoyed them both very much. It's a tough choice, I'd probably pick Origins just because I prefer ancient Egypt. What a pity Valhalla imho didn't live up to its predecessors though.
I think it's rather fun atm
I had the most fun playing origins, with Valhalla next and Odyssey last. Odyssey felt so soulless as an open world and i hate the mythology addition. The mythology in origins was tolerable and im a sucker for anything viking which is why im a little more leniant with valhalla.
Origins was incredible
TBH Valhalla is one of the best ACs in terms of gameplay.
I pick up the gold edition just because it was dicounted. I thank the stars I bought it really cheap.
I'll put it this way, I liked Origins because Ubisoft did the best they can do with a smaller version of Egypt, but I LOVED Odyssey because Ubisoft basically gave gamers a whole history lesson in the form of a video game, I literally love just how accurate Odyssey is with nearly every Ancient Greek island on the map plus the Mythical worlds were S tier DLCs, even though it didn't feel like Assassin's Creed, it was a fun, free for all Assassin's Creed, and I loved every second of it (have over 400 hours of play time btw)

I have to agree, after playing Odyssey, I felt like this was great experience. I loved it. I didn't have the same feelings with origins (unless we are talking Dragon Age).
Guys let's pretend the title doesn't have AC in it and admit it's a good stand alone game 🙂
I played AC Odyssey first and loved it. I was never an Assassins' Creed fan, so i treated it as an open world rpg.
I then went back and played Origins. Despite Odyssey having improvements in the rpg mechanics, i liked Origins better. The focus on one protagonist, Bayek, made him more compelling than Kassandra/Alexis (or whatever the male version name was).
Ancient Egypt was also a more interesting setting to me, though i liked Ancient Greece too. I like both games but Origins is the one i'd replay again. Both are better than Valhalla though, which bored me and i never finished.

But Valhalla doesn't suffer from the insane logic holes and the side quests that can only be called stupid as hell, which completely spoil an Odyssey.
Just the beginning of Odyssey:
Kassandra/Alexios are mercenaries who have been living on a rather small island for years.
And yet they don't have any useful equipment, don't know their way around their homeland and don't even know where the house of their mentor, who took them in as a child, is located.
Plus the daily randomly generated quests from a bulletin board like in an MMO. What shoud that?
Odyssey has a grandiose landscape with superbly designed buildings. But these landscapes are meaningless. There is nothing interesting there. Miles of boredom yawning. Only interrupted by small empty spaces, on which the next visit is guaranteed to be a randomly generated camp with 3 soldiers, where the next randomly generated stupid side quest will be forced upon the player.
A word about the so-called humor in the game. How old can you be to still be able to laugh at the listed embarrassments? Ten? Twelve? Certainly nothing more.
@@horantelgar8730 interesting opinion. I respect it, certainly dont agree with it. Much of what you said is worse in Valhalla. And Valhalla bring's with it a whole host of more problems. I really do believe that Valhalla was there to appeal to everyone. Which I think it did. I played it and enjoyed it. Then it got boring so I moved on. And so did many others.
Origins is more immersive I´d say but Odyssey is way bigger and has gorgeous world to explore. It catches this "ancient greek mediterrean hot summer sea vibe" perfectly. Loved both games and they are my fav AC games. I was there since day one when AC 1 dropped but Origins and Odyssey got a special place in my heart. I love ancient greece & ancient egypt.
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours...ha ha
I just cant say enough amazing things about Origins. I'm a hhuggeee fan of Egyptian hystory, so this was such an amazing experience. Haven't played Odyssey yet, but I know it will be good too.
@bingly bingler oh and I totally agree with you. I won't be 100% the game because it's alot of busy work, but I put 60 hours into the game and I did alot of the side missions. I think that's a good amount for a game this size. The time I did spend with it though was really fun!
Is assassins Creed Odyssey better than Origins? My answer is no. Odyssey is not a bad game but it caused me to play Black Flag again. Origins was easier to upgrade, side missions matter in order to make your character stronger. Bootleg mummies, that was cool.bayek was a tough character and I liked how alot of the animals were apart of the story as well.
I find Origina way better. Moreover in my opinion Odyssey sucks. Letting a player change character's role and influence the story breaks the canon. This option just doesn't match AC franchise.
Odyssey is the superior game to both Origins and Valhalla imo and even on the base technical level it is the most stable and polished

Origins will always be the best one out of the 3
@@EngineerGamingGuh that's true
I loved Origins, then I played Odyssey. Odyssey is ah-mazing! They are both great! Kassandra honestly makes Odyssey the best though! Her voice actor knocked it out of the park! I also love the Odyssey music better as well!
Hahaha. If you think Kassandra is actually good, you haven't played enough good games or have little sense of what an actual good character is lol
@@iamyourfather4270 that’s your opinion. Move on. No need to try to belittle someone and be a douche. Bye, troll.
can't believe some people actually like Kass.... she's a total dude in every sense of the word....

Kass on the other hand carries herself like a high-school jock.....
@iamyourfather4270 what on earth are you on about.
The musical score in Odyssey is astonishing
I'm not too much into Assassins Creed but I LOVED Odyssey, it is a HUGE game and I LOVED that about it, definitely worth a second play through but good God it's such a big game to start over
The ancient Greece setting will always make Odyssey my favorite AC game
Totally agree. You can simply walk, swim, sail, fly and ride around the map with absolute delight
Realizing Alexios in God of War is Kratos’ Brother
Origins is a better assassins creed game but Odyssey is just a straight up better game! I would rather have fun with a game then play another ok-ish assassins creed game(most are like that)
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours....ha ha.
I love Odyssey as I love anything to do with Ancient Greece. Completed Mirage and now gone back to Odyssey so still playing it but with Kassandra this time
Origins is the better assassins creed game and has a good mix of open world. I think it really depends on what you are looking for if you want a more assassins creed game then origins is best. The problem I had with odyssey is the weapons you had to replace so much and literally do all the quests before you could move on. Odyssey isn’t an ac game it could be argued it’s a really good rpg but you could replace the assassins with another name and you couldn’t tell it’s an ac game
Theres no locations in origins that's why it sucks theres no quest but really the main
@@nolanrueckert8061there are like a trillion side quests in Origins lol hell you don't even become an assassin til you beat the main story.
i loved sailing on my ship in Odyssey
Origins was a much better game for the main fact that it made me feel like I was taking a tour through Roman Egypt. Landmarks were distinct and recognizeable. Greece was barely recognizable.
You're kidding me have you even played the game it is brimming with cool locations biomes cities all origins has is Alexandria and it pales in comparison to Athens
The game thats an exact picture of greece didn't look like greece? But the game that's just a blank desert with the occasional landmark fealt more authentic? Excuse you?
Are you joking right?? clearly you havent played odyssey... Go play the game and then have opinion. Greece >> desert every single time.
I get what he's saying. I, personally, found Odyssey to be better to "look at" but found Origins more immersive in exploring its temples and tombs. BTW, Alexandria wasn't the only "cool" city, there was also Memphis and Cyrene. But "pale" in comparison? I don't think so. There's nothing wrong, however, if you like the architecture style of ancient Greece more than ancient Egypt, but remember, it goes both ways. He may like the style of ancient Egypt more than ancient Greece
@@eltren6120 so in other words you're a tomb raider over uncharted kinda guy. Got chya.
It's funny: When Odyssey first came out, so many people dunked on it for not being as good as Origins. Now, with time, calmer emotions, and hindsight, it's more of a 50/50 split and some articles doing "Wasn't Odyssey Great?" pieces.
I personally preferred Odyssey more. I had a great deal of wandering around the map, doing side quests, improving my ranking, and killed a lot of of the cult before going back into the main quest and discovering we hadn't actually even been officially told about the cult yet😂. It was just more fun. There was something about Bayek I personally found flat. Though I am doing a second run-through of Origins now to try it again and see if my opinion changes given that people rate it so much higher than me.
@binglybingler2598Same, when i finished origins, it was a while before i played odyssey and thought it might be better. Only for me to go back to play origins and i realised i like it much more
i found Odyssey's characters flat, dull, and immersion breaking compared to Origins'
i also found the story written better in Origins
only thing Odyssey has is setting and expanded gameplay formula of Origins
but Origins is better in almost everything else
@eltren6120 yeah but you seem to think kassandra is a 'high school jock' so I'll take your opinion under advisement .
@@gustavgustav2670 i mean, she sure does carry herself like one.... it's like hiring a male to do mocap (walks, run, acts like a dude) & then hiring writers who envision a male, i mean, look at her responses when she talks to basically everyone & then look at their responses; in that time, that era, they treat her like she's man.......... it litteraly Alexios as a female skin, no difference except their voices...... since you read my previous comment, you'd know every other female assassin is that much better by comparison, they act like females, walk & talk like females yet still able to do their assassining-shenanigans.... I bet Basim's mentor, Roshan, will be everything fans of Kass claim, & she'll do it as an actual female not a female skin
I just CAN'T finish the game. It's SO DULL. You are not alone.
It's a subjective opinion. If someone likes Origins more, thats 100% valid and correct for them. If someone likes Odyssey more, thats 100% valid and correct for them. If someone likes Valhalla more, same as the others.
It's deeply weird how gamers have an obsession with ranking games as if it was objective fact and not just personal preference. Then they get toxic and hostile to anyone that disagrees with their opinion.
It's the single worst aspect of the gaming community. It does nothing but breed toxicity and hostile behavior.
Enjoying art is subjective, but there is a level of objectivity analysis that can be applied to any art. Techniques and execution can be superior in one game over another. Obviously, a game being technically superior doesn't mean somebody will enjoy it more, but it does make it more likely. The issue with video games is that people don't understand that liking something more doesn't mean it's better. That's why people get so absurdly toxic about video game analysis and comparison. Most people don't know what conversation is even about and lack the insight, understanding, and education/expertise to be able to meaningfully evaluate a video game in a technical sense. For example, I love Fallout 76. It is my most played game at 900+ hours. But it is objectively a bad game. If somebody said it was the best Fallout game, I would laugh in their face.
@@VegtamTheWonderer The issue is most people tend to think their opinion is objective fact.
And if someone said FO76 was the best fallout, that is, in fact, valid, despite your claims otherwise. I dont agree, but it's valid.
You, yourself, are making the same mistake i was talking about. Because there are technical aspects you could compare between games, but if thats all you're comparing, you're basically ignoring massive parts of a game.
If you only judge games by objective technical metrics, then in your attempts to be objective and impartial, you are infact doing the opposite since you're disqualifying aspects of games that might put one above another for alot of people.
Going back to your FO76 example. I played alot of that too, I actually think its pretty good. The lore and world building is, in my opinion , some of the best in the entire series. I'm just not a fan of the grindy "looter shooter" endgame lol. I'd seriously rate it above New Vegas for example cus i think that one is terribly written with bad gameplay. But thats going against common internet opinion.
Yep. About as bad as Far Cry 3 and GTA IV fans.
I enjoy both games, but it feels overrated with how people make those games out to be. I played FC4 followed by FC3, and playing FC5 think that's the best Far Cry game.
While GTA V wasn't as dark as IV, I actually prefer V over IV.
I honestly never understood people who just try to change your mind. Everyone has a preference, and no one has the right to change that.
You hate my most favorite, fine. But don't be rude when I don't agree with what you like.
There is always a proportion of players that will agree that a particular game is better. It seems between these two it is purely subjective and very divided, but sometimes a community can quite widely agree on a game being amazing or complete trash.
It's always good to know what people think of it before purchasing it.
odyssey is the better option for me,still coming back to it every month to try out new builds, feel like the combat system is better too and its the only one of the 2 i platnumed
Origins. They can’t compare
Odyssey made me feel empty and unaccomplished after 200 hours. I wanted to love it but it just felt boring and every enemy was a bullet sponge. The stealth wasn’t worth it and not having the hidden blade basically made this a weaker Witcher game. Also the whole making the Isu a big deal was awful. I still think it’s the worst part of the RPG series because I don’t care.
Origins 10/10
Odyssey 4/10
Origins is better disregarding location. That being said, people's opinions will be heavily favored due to the location. Personally, I like Greece and Greek mythology more than Egypt and their mythology, so I enjoyed Odyssey more.
They're both great, in different ways. I do slightly favor Odyssey though.
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours....ha ha.
Maybe you never lost someone in your life but for me Origins hits home. I can relate to Bayek a lot more. Plus in Origins you get a taste of both Egyptian, and Greek culture as in Odyssey you’re only stuck playing in Greece.
I'm not really sure which is "better" as that's a really nebulous term/metric. But I definitely had more FUN playing Odyssey. Namely because I didn't take any of it seriously. So many of the side quests were literally greek comedies, filled with raunchy humor and ridiculous contrivances, I basically just played the thing like a huge play I was acting out. I had my protagonist literally fuck everything the he had the opportunity to fuck, because why not. Always joked and laughed at stuff when it came up. And it was super fun.
“FUN” is just as nebulous idiot 😂
Is it a shame if i stop origins to play odyssey. I want to See ancient greek so bad and the choices the sea everything
@@Link-zm2uz I mean it's your game, you do you. I don't think you're really missing anything if you stop playing Origins. The plots aren't really woven together much. You know, no more than any other AC titles might be. I'll say personally I enjoy the setting or Origins more than Odyssey, but I'm more of an Egyptophile than a Grecophile. But I can definitely say I had more FUN playing Odyssey.
@@happyninja42 thanks for the advice appreciate it. You Looping forward to mirage?
@@Link-zm2uz Maybe? I dunno, I've kind of lost my shine for the AC franchise, and Ubisoft as a company can just go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. I might do what I did with Valhalla and just play it when it becomes FTP on the playstation store or something 🤷♂
Odyssey is definitely better than the three rpg trilogy
Gameplay Odyssey, Story Origins. Other than that they’re both so alike since they were made side by side
Well, I prefer AC Odyssey. Mostly because I got to hookup with the hot doctor. I can't remember his name. Playing as Alexios, it was a nice, sweet diversion.
Of course, there was also all the killing in the various forts. That was probably my favorite bit of the game. Especially setting a trap at the signal fire first, then just wiping out everyone except the slaves/workers.
Despite being an RPG gamer, I definitely preferred Origins. The story may be a bit simpler, but Odyssey never gave me chills, unlike a few Origins moments, like the farewell between Aya and Bayek. Also, Odyssey felt Bethesda-like (the side quests being more engaging and enjoyable than the main plot), so it was sometimes a slog to get through
spoilers bruh
I think Odyssey is best but after a fun climb, I did spend some time on top of the Great Pyramid 2 days ago. Just checking things out. It was a blast!
Idc what anyone says, Odyssey and Valhalla are not (assassin)s creed games. Origins is the only one of the RPG series that has anything to do with the REAL assassins(hidden ones)
Ubisoft really piggy backed on the success of their franchise for those. Obviously they did it to get the biggest return on their investment but it's a bit of shame because as good as Odyssey is, it would be even better if it dropped all the pretense and focused on a new unique story.
Yes. Odyssey have many flaws, but it's better game.
No. Not even close.
Odyssey is great and a lot better than the original in my opinion, because i can really get immersed in that world. Im female so obviously i play Kasandra, i can connect with her emotions and get really emersed in her story..
Which i can not do playing gas the Male.
Bayek is far better than Kassandra..But I get why you like her.
I prefer more Origins more than Odyssey. As a fan of the Old ac games, origins just felt more like a Assassins creed game than Odyssey did, plus loved Bayek as a character and Egypt was a great setting and had fun exploring each part of the map. Odyssey just felt lifeless at points, although Greece was stunning it just felt soulless and boring after a while, plus felt the RPG and choices could of been better and it focused to much on mythology rather than main real life story, plus hated the level scaling in the game, it just felt levelling up was pointless when every one around you will also level up with you. I did like Odyssey but it just didn't feel like an AC game, just Ubisoft attempt at an RPG game but with AC in the title.
As *BLOATED* as AC: Odyssey was, I really enjoyed it. It's my second favorite after AC: Syndicate
Personally I like both games 🎮, but that is me.
I love Odyssey but let's not fool ourselves It has nothing to do with Assassins. Same goes for Valhalla.
Wrong.
Valhalla has the Assassin's Creed established already. Hidden blades, social stealth, and Assassins.
Odyssey is dog water.
@@DarkoRavens You're a dork If you thing Valhalla has AC elements. No amount of Social stealth and Hidden robes could be enough for a Viking to be an Assassin. Basim was more of an Assassin in Valhalla rather than Eivor. In Odyssey there was still some element of stealth left but in Valhalla they snatched that too. Now you have to forcefully raid settlements by announcing the trumpet not something any Assassin would ever do.
Origins was everything I couldve asked from an AC game.
While adopting the RPG mechanics and style of gameplay, it didnt stray away completely from the AC name.
Odyssey shouldve been treated as a separate game and shouldnt have been included in the AC franchise. The game looks stunning and has so much more potential when not associated with Assassins.
Coming back to Origins, Bayek as a character was developed so well! You truly connected with the character and understood their emotions. You see the character grow and the development of the character is seen clearly. From a revenge story to finding purpose, the game made me feel like I have accomplished something.
I wasnt really into all the supernatural stuff before but that grew on me + its ancient egypt, and the whole apple thing is already as supernatural as it can get.
Its been 4 months since I last played Origins and now that I have the time to play again, I am definitely going back.
This!!
Id say it’s a very subjective view. I prefer games and movies with lots of humor, therefore I prefer odyssey
Pretty good reasoning here seriously, everything is subjective but people forget about it and simple human decency
@@writerlairchannel2636 exactly and when they like something they unfortunately tend to make things personal if someone else is having a different view. I’ve been guilty of this before, but I try my hardest not to be.
I absolutely loved Odyssey and playing in ancient Greece. It really isn't a assassin's Creed game I have to admit. That being said I just couldn't get into origins. I know a lot of people really do like it but I just couldn't get into it for whatever reason. Same with Valhalla
Same, I think I played origins for less than 10 hours total. Tried going back to it at least 5 times and couldn't finish it. I've played Odyssey numerous times.
@@OhShanna Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours....ha ha.
I do love Odyssey and I wasn't a big fan of Origins and you pretty much summed it up man so thank you
AC Odyssey is a good game without the Assassin's Creed title. The devs wanting to do their own thing while forcefully trying to still connect with the Assassin's Creed story somehow was a draw back. They should have just made it an entirely different game from AC.
In my opinion Odyssey is the better game. I also believe that Kassandra is the best protagonist in the series, but again, that's my opinion.
I agree and my heart was happy when I saw her show up, even if momentarily, in Valhalla. Basim can suck a d*ck for what he did to her.
Kassandra is an average protagonist...Ezio and Bayek have more depth than her.
Odyssey is not only my fav AC game but probably one of the best RPGs ever made
Well, having only played Odyssey yet (I got the complete edition of Origins, but didn't started yet, because I already had a bad time finishing the game 100%), I can approve of the first part of this message. Best RPG I played, however, would be Tom Clancy's The Division 2
Witcher 3

If you think that, you should definitely play more games.
origins was a much better story to me. It's not about revenge, it's really about lost. I really felt for him as lost friends, his child, and wife. it really about emotion while odyssey story bored me
Odyssey is one of the greatest open world games ever. Kassandra was maybe the best voice actor of alltime and most fun character to play, also the gameplay is insanely fun. Origins was ok but the main character was unlikable and the story not near as fun
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours....ha ha.
Hahaha. You're 'greatest' open-world game is not even among the Top 50 best-selling games lol. Even Valhalla generated more revenue than that garbage. Even the worst-selling CoD game has sold more than AC: Odyssey lmao. You're 'favourite' game is a failure and a disaster that alienated millions of AC fans
Chill Alexios was better
When it comes to story, AC Origins. When it comes to combat i prefer Odyssey. Doing spartan kick whenever I'm near a cliff lol.
I have more fun playing AC Odyssey than Origins, I like the mercenary system at some of the random side quest (most of them is simple and boring as hell) Though it gets repetitive, still I will choose Odyssey.
It’s a tough choice. Considering that I love both these games. Even if they a different route away from the original tone of the early assassins creed games.
To be honest, Storywise Origins was better than Odyssey. But gameplay, especially combat with superpowers in Odyssey was cool.
I like Odyssey the best, but in retrospect it’s probably because it was the first AC game I’ve ever played & so I just have an overwhelming fondness for it. Looking at it more objectively though, it’s definitely not the best AC game, lol. But it’s the one I’ve played the most. Origins had the best story imo-it was completely heart-wrenching. I really didn’t appreciate it though until I played it for a second time.
Interesting video. There are quite alot of factors which make me prefer origins. The ship gameplay, quite a long game (similar to valhalla) and repetition make odyssey my least favourite
i was never an Assassin Creed's fan....but Odyssey has changed all that
I really didn't gel with Origins, but had an absolute blast playing Kassandra in Odyssey!
Cassandra makes more sense to be deimos
Yes. Odyssey.
Odyssey is ABSOLUTELY better. The amount of little detail they put into this game is cyberpunk worthy. All the way down to the mercenaries to the cultists. It's insane they are a year apart.
I have played both Origins and Odyssey, but my personal preference is Odyssey for Kassandra's character and the open-world, naval combat, side quests, dlcs, etc.....
I prefer Kassandra as main character rather than Alexio who has a very deep voice as a villain. I cant imagine Kassandra being in a negative role at all.
Odyssey for me...orgin is good but Odyssey was a love letter to us...we will never get a game like that again
I much preferred Odyssey. Origins has a great world and characters (Bayek is among the series' best protagonists), but the Souls-esque gameplay, levelling mechanics and complete removal of stealth as a viable gameplay style made it a slog to get through. The simple addition of fun combat abilities and reintroduction of stealth builds in Odyssey instantly made me involved enough in the game to meet the level curve, and it retained the glorious sun-soaked world design that made Origins stand out and is the real artistic achievement of the neo-Creeds.
"Complete removal of stealth as a vuable option"? I played origins mostly using stealth, only using combat in the arena and during boss fights. The stealth is actually pretty straight forward if you invest in the right abilities from the start. Odyssey on the other hand, I never felt compelled to use stealth because it really doesn't fit the vibe of the character. And when I did, I was faced with supernatural abilities such as teleportation, and not proper ac stealth
This is why AC Codename Red will be done by Ubisoft Quebec same as Odyssey
i’m sorry but have you even played each game? odyssey absolutely butchered stealth, stealth is the main area where origins is superior to odyssey 😂

Because Kassandra is canon and so much better
I have close to 1,500 hours on Odyssey... It's by far my favorite Assassins Creed game. Although I also have close to 800 hours on Origins. My one and only complaint about Odyssey is that damn song that plays everytime you pause the game. If you know you know....

Odyssey with all its DLCs is to my taste the best game ever created.
The biggest problem I had with Odyssey is sometimes the dialogue would overlap. Like the second person would start their line before the first was done. Did anyone else have this problem?
I didn’t
Never had that, Odyssey ran with absolutely zero technical issues with me, but I played the game about a year after its release.
The only problem I had was getting softlocked into a harbour wall with athenians attacking me, I only got out after one of them stunned me and knudged me out the wall.
i have played them all - bar the new one and i loved Odyssey. Origins was good but i really enjoyed Odyssey more overall
I’ve played them both. And though origins was the very first game I played through. Odyssey absolutely killed it in how wonderful it was and still is. It’s my favorite game of all time. Thanks for the review.
lemme put it this way. I completed Odyssey, didn't complete Origins.
Both are good though.
I love the setting of Odyssey, but I connected better with Bayek instead of Kassandra. The pain and anguish he went through during the story really drove home what a fantastic character he really is. Kassandra is good too, more funny and quick witted, but just didn't really click with me. And I won't mention Alexios, he was just an unappealing choice.
Odyssey leveling system was horrendous… everything else was perfection
Odyssey was perfect honestly wish they did a roman empire game with same style
Odyssey over origins is a huge disrespect
AC Odyssey isn't a real AC game according to many fans but that's part of why it's my favorite of the entire franchise. I'm not an assassins creed fan but absolutely loved almost everything about Odyssey. IMHO, a lot of the complaints from fans about Odyssey not being an AC game could have been mitigated if Ubisoft marketed it as a prequal to the series since that essentially what is.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is most likely four point three times better than Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
I know it’s very odd to see when you realize how the Assassin’s Origins exploit the real deal, feel wheel, squeal. Sealed.
Got origins for 5er, love it so far, odyssey and valhalla I will be getting.
Oddissey is a good game. Origins is not. The systems in oddissey are really solid. Also in a subjective point of view I like the characters better.
Original has more attractive story’s, odyssey has better gameplay, idk why Valhalla removed the ship battle, which is one of the most enjoyable mode in all ac games. If can emphasis the trade between each settlement, odyssey will be an epic game. Unfortunately there are no trading between settlements.
Both are great games but im leaning towards odyssey just for the massive map and beautiful scenery
Odyssey is more expansive and with the powers of the Gods I feel like Oddessius or Hercules.
I played origins when it came out and loved it. Recently, early 2023, I found a copy for cheap and decided to replay it and it's related DLC. I was so enthralled with it. I loved the world and the story. Bayek really appealed to me and the tomb exploration was just amazing. The combat I thoroughly enjoyed as well. I was hesitant about playing Odyssey. The combat looked too much like Syndicate which was a big turn off for me. however, In october my partner and I went on a trip to Greece. I loved the trip so much I decided to buy Odyssey and give it a try. I like finding places in games and comparing them to their real life counterpart. Honestly, i felt a lot of it was pretty accurate but when it came to the story and gameplay.... eh i was not impressed. It wasn't until near the end of the main story, cult story, and Atlantis story of the base game that I really began to connect with Alexios. Mostly because he had become a character that I had molded. It made the ending all the more bittersweet. So while i still think Origins is a better AC game (i also like linear stories. I like to see what a creator intended with a story) I do see why people like Odyssey so much. I'll be starting Valhalla soon. i've heard that it's long and boring but man Ubisoft has come a long way in terms of graphics and gameplay. It looks amazing.
Origins has my 100% respect, but I'm the Odyssey guy.
Played ODYSSEY 3000 hours...😂😂😂
you have my respect, misthios 🙇♂️🙇
With the ancient era.. I love both
Hated Odyssey. It just didnt feel as polished as Origins but what almost ruined the game for me were the merceneries/Phylakes. It was a ridiculously bad system and completely unrealistic. Every time you get spotted within less than a minute you have a bunch of overpowered merceneries hunting you down.
Both are amazing, but Odyssey is more complete, it also offers different landscapes, from snow in the mountains to the different islands. The right order is Odyssey > hades > Atlantis > origins > Origins DLCs. Also, chronologically, it makes more sense.
I imagined Bayek as Kassandra's descendant since her son was sent to Egypt to escape the Occults. Someone told me it's his wife, but there must be something I missed.
The end of the Valhalla tie-in shows Aya as Kassandra's descendent, not Bayek.
@@loganleutwyler yeah, someone explained that to me. I had not realized when I posted that comment. Anyway, I was falling that far from the tree! 😄
I played both games for hundreds of hours, both where beautiful and I even developed a habit of taking a "brain vacation" by simply sailing on the Aegean (did the same in Witcher 3). But I really preferred Odyssey because of Cassandra. The voice acting was absolutely on spot, only comparable with female Shepard in Mass Effect.
Kassandra's character is so dude-like it was off-putting, she carried herself like a high-school jock. Better written female assassins are Evie Fraye, Aveline de Grandpe, Shao Jun, & Amunet.
Re-read again, I'm not saying nothing of the voice just the characterization of Kassandra is immersion breaking when she acts like a high school jock compared to the aforementioned assassins who act like females - - - also, Mary Read from Black Flag had her reasons why she acted they way she did & it was very well-written
Origins of course is better AC game. Even more, you feel 3 cultures Greeks, Egyptian and Roman. Odyssey is a good RPG game but not AC game. I must forget that this game is part of AC franchise to get enjoyment from game. In my opinion - Fate of Atlantis completely destroy the vision of ISU race which is fundamental to the series.
Yep.
Odyssey is just much more fun with more abilities and the setting is better in Odyssey too.
Origins is the best middle-of-the-ground with light RPG and still have a linear story which AC should be. Assassin's Creed to me will always be a linear story since in its world we are reliving the memory of an ancestor and it just breaks immersion with the dialogue system. Ubisoft could have created a new IP with Odyssey and Valhalla, the mythology stuff in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla were phenomenal could have make a more grounded RPG "God of War" clone would be sick, only if Ubisoft had the balls to try and create a new IP.
I like them both. Love how big the maps are and how much they put into the game. Months of side quest things to do and explore
I love odyssey. It's ruined me for all other games.
I WAS 1k like!!
999 turn 1k!
Love AC so much, mostly older but hopefully all. They need to treat that title better for better results.
I loved both origins and odyssey and even say Valhalla I love to but if it have to choose I say odyssey
I’m 42 hours into Origins…love it! I just downloaded Odyssey last night (11.99) in the PS5 store! Can’t wait to start playing it!
As someone who grew up watching the old school assassins creeds, has a ps5 now and has never played an assassins game could you'll help me out here. Saving up for Mirage as it looks right upbmy alley with open world parkour and old school assassins creed parkour and a ton of stuff to do. So before that wanted to understand if one were looking for good parkour, an open world, solid gameplay good assassins style gaming and an open world which is worth exploring like closest to an RDR2 open world as in polish and variety of things to do, which one would you'll recommend. Origin or Odyssey? Thank you!
If you want The things you mention aren't as present in the new games, so I would recommend you to try out one of the earlier ones as well, especially since they are pretty cheap now (my personal choice would be to start with ac 2).
Now, onto your question. Odyssey is probably the better open world out of the two, with a gameplay a bit more polished and more side activities. However, considering your criteria, I would rather recommend origins. It feels closer to a true assassin experience since you don't have supernatural powers (in odyssey you can acquire a skill that allows you to never die from fall damage, so the intensity in parkour is gone). The stealth system, while not as pushed as in the earlier games is still pretty satisfying (if you invest in stealth and bow skills as it will allow you to obtain tools and transform your bows into silent one shotters). While the parkour isn't great in either of them, and definitely not close to the earlier ones, I would say it is more satisfying in origins since you have more incentives to use it, and the city design is a bit more parkour friendly compared to odyssey
Its not ancient egypt... Its 43bc not 3000bc....
Origins hands down for me. Really enjoyed both but Origins was different
That's a tough one. Origins was the end of traditional A.C. games. Odyssey was longer, more targets and jump of the highest peak and take no damage. Odyssey was also funnier. Odyssey was better but not by much.
A LOT BETTER, I KEEP PLAYING THE GAME ODYSSEY, EVEN BETTER THAN VALHALLA
Odyssey is way better. Not even close. It was the pinacle of AC
