A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Assassin's creed odyssey.
Not a big AC fan, but this one has more rpg elements than i remember. The plotline moves pretty slowly and feels very disjointed, but that allows for a very scenic travel through the classical greek world, which is the real fun. Seeing it brought to life so vividly is a blast.
I'd say B+ for a history fan, C- if you're not instantly thrilled at the prospect of meeting herodotos or alkibiades.
Have you tried AC: Origins? Similar gameplay. Most people would probably say Odyssey was the better game of the two but they’re pretty close. I personally preferred Origins but liked them both.
That's the egypt one? I've not but i'm mildly curious. I'll probably grab it on ps4 if i see it at the 2nd hand game store.
Yeah, that’s the one. If you can find it for cheap I’d say go for it. It’s a bit shorter and the map is a bit smaller which I personally liked, and it had some gameplay aspects I preferred, but they’re close for me.
