The graphics, while the same, were a little underwhelming as Achaia is no Macedonia and there wasn’t anything that I felt like I missed in this area during my initial playthrough. Everything was fine and nothing got corrupted as I was able to start the game again and pick up where I left off, but it is worth mentioning that it happened and needs to be fixed. Notably, game breaking bugs and glitches were back as I had a complete game crash when trying to manually save. If the last four installments don’t concentrate on naval battle then it’s pointless. Although the new naval toy is fun for the DLC, who will this come into play later on in the game especially if you’ve already completed the game? I can’t see myself going back out in the water just for fun to burn a bunch of ships. The playability of this game remained stable once more as a few new skills were added to enhance your playing style, but that was it. ![]() All of this was over shadowed by the lack of choice and once again the briefness of this DLC. The only interesting thing I could find about this DLC that was good was the increased naval activity and the new naval toy that was added to the Adrestia. The cliffhanger at the end that will come into play in the final episode of this DLC was an interesting one, but not one that made this DLC worth it. While they promised to fix this, I don’t see how they can and this did sour my opinion of this game and any other so-called RPG they make in the future.Īlthough I liked the overalls tory for this DLC, it was a little underwhelming. There were so many different avenues Ubisoft could have taken for this major part of the story and their lack of doing so was just lazy. The only choice I had in this DLC that pertained to my heavily choice driven style of playing. Did I break Natakas heart in the end by telling him I only wanted a family, yes since this was my only option. To see her turned into a doe eyed idiot over some man in this DLC was just disgusting as I had no say in it. I understand that Odyssey comes before Origins and this has to be linked, but does it have to do that by taking away the players choice? Being a part of the LGBTQ community, I played my Kassandra as a full blown lesbian who bedded every female character she could. After the death of his son there were no other children meaning no more bloodlines. ![]() The whole “bloodline” story basically ended years ago and makes no sense in the timeline seeing as Odyssey comes before Origins and Origins was about Bayek avenging the death of his son. That is not how an RPG works and Ubisoft’s half-assed apology really hit a nerve as they said it had to be done for story reasons and “bloodline” reasons. ![]() This choice is thrown out the window in this DLC as no matter what you choose your character will enter into a relationship with either Natakas or Neema and produce a child. ![]() Play Kassandra and Alexios as you want, straight, gay/lesbian, bi, or even asexual if you choose. Part of the choice that you can make pertain to your characters sexuality. Will Darius finally be able to escape with the help of Kassandra or Alexios in this intense naval focused DLC? Or will Darius and Natakas or Neema finally find a place to call home?Īs you may already know Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is based heavily on choice as this franchise moves on its way to becoming a full blown RPG. Realizing that no matter what they do they’ll always be on the run, Darius needs your help once more to escape Greece and get away from another section of the cult and the leader of this section, The Tempest. Taking place right after episode 1, Hunted, which you can read my review of here, you’ll continue as Kassandra or Alexios and run into Darius and Natakus or Neema while exploring Achaia. After adding another 3 hours to my already over 100 hour playthrough, I was able to get all of the trophies so that means it’s time for a review. Although there was some trepidation because I had seen all about the controversy surrounding the second episode, I still had to see it for myself and judge it for myself as everyone should do. Eager to continue my journey as Kassandra once more, I jumped into this second episode as soon as it came out.
