Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, an Action-RPG developed by Ubisoft, is the 11th game in the Assassin’s Creed game series, with Assassin’s Creed Origins as its predecessor and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as its successor. The game, just like other games in the series, is played from a third-person view, and provides the player with a choice between stealth, melee combat, and ranged combat. Indeed, there are three skill trees in this game, “assassin”, “warrior”, and “hunter” that directly correspond to those three ways of approaching the game.
Of course, you can’t make an Assassin’s Creed game without a historical narrative, and Odyssey is no exception to this rule. This time, the players will experience history during the Peloponnesian War. And while the game’s retelling of the event was, of course, made inaccurate for the sake of both the story and the gameplay, Peloponnesian War is real, and took place some 2500 years ago.
From the beginning to the end, Odyssey was designed to give the player more freedom and choices than previous games in the series. It is the reason why it’s set in such a distant past – to make sure that the players’ choices will not interfere with the established canon. Though, as the game does aim to be historically accurate (in broad strokes) the players will still be unable to change the outcome of significant events.
Available on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, the game lacks a Mac port. But with our guide, you will be able to play Assassin’s Creed on Mac despite this shortcoming.
