Will you choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra? my local grocer cried, eyes wild with suspicion. “They re both the same!” screamed a man set aflame. Yeah, I m picking Kassandra, said literally everyone else.

However, after playing through the three-hour opening of Assassin s Creed Odyssey nearly seven times for you> (and continuing to play over a dozen hours on a separate save) I can confirm that both Kassandra and Alexios are distinct, compelling, and valid protagonists.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is clearly a very good game. Or at least, a very big> game with an awful lot to do. The line is getting increasingly blurred in AAA’s current obsession with impossibly large open worlds, that took everything we learned about compulsive playing from last decade’s MMOsplosion and put them into single-player icon-tickers. It’s a game I don’t want to stop playing, certainly. Although the more I do, the more I experience this existential fog of wondering if I’m really having a good time at all. So whether it’s a very good game or not is obviously not “clear” at all, and whoever started this paragraph is an idiot.
