It seems to be in the same vein as Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise is odd for me, because I’ve played a lot of them, but only ever finished Black Flag. It’s not that I don’t like the games; I just get bored with them eventually. AC Origins, I got bored with early. I’m getting the feeling that I’m going to get bored with Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey fairly quickly, too.
I’ll probably still buy it, though.
