For long-time fans, Atlantis also delves generously into the franchise's sci-fi backstory for some surprising returns and revelations. Its story fills in much of Kassandra's fate as Atlantis' Keeper, glimpsed very briefly in the main game if you complete all of its mythological questlines, and it lets you spend more time as modern day protagonist Layla Hassan, who barely featured in Odyssey's 100-hour gameplay at all. It provides - finally - a fitting conclusion to Odyssey's overall tale via a hugely ambitious narrative told over a grand series of settings. Odyssey's second and meatier season pass arc The Fate of Atlantis, on the other hand, is something far more special. Legacy of the First Blade, Odyssey's first season pass story arc, ended up a mostly-enjoyable diversion aimed at fans who didn't mind it meandering away from what was stated on the tin (its promised storyline centring on the origins of the series' iconic Hidden Blade weapon was left largely in the background in favour of a somewhat clumsily-handled link to the hero bloodline featured in other games). And that's before you get into the stuff you actually need to cough up for - Odyssey's season pass content. Odyssey is so vast, I'm still finding things to do from the base game alongside the wealth of stuff Ubisoft has been busy building in since launch: weekly quests to win and cosmetics to unlock, new bosses, entire questlines. Odyssey had a set of three finales - one for each of its three intertwining storylines - but each refused to close the book fully.īut why would they? Here I am, still playing now, sometimes just for a daily mission, other times to chip away at the latest side-quest Kassandra has stumbled into. If I had one criticism of Assassin's Creed Odyssey - a game which, eight months on, I still play most evenings - it's that Ubisoft's incredible efforts to make it an RPG worth returning to can sometimes get in the way of providing a final, definitive ending.
