I don't understand why there are Assassins logos on the armour: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/stea...g?t=1528754692
We know from Origins that logo was created much later (~40 BCE) than the events of Odyssey (~400 BCE).
Also confused with multiple endings. How could it be? Can the Animus calculate possibilities now?
And again: the main character has the same eagle vision as Bayek. We know that only a few assassins had such connection with an eagle.
And now we get two more characters with such a rare gift. Coincidence?
Looks like this game has something wrong with lore...
I'm totally on board with this one. If it follows the path of Brotherhood and AC4 (improvements of the prior title) we are in for a cracking experience.
Seems to have the core Origins gameplay involved with some things in place to take account of the title taking place 400 years before Origins.
My thoughts are NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss the Origins website art Bayek NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
In all seriousness though the game looks fine.
Combat seems to be an extension/slight improvement of Origins system for a Greek style combat game.
There is a lot jumping to conclusions here.
Apparently, this is going to be more of a MD story with a focus on Layla.
There are also hoods. The hidden blade not being part of it is kind of a drag, but I'll have to see how it plays out.
And who knows, we might still get a hidden blade. If it survived going to Egypt, it should survive going to Greece before it headed to Egypt.
I'm very underwhelmed to say the least. I'm not disappointed because the sad truth is I expected this. It's recycled in almost every aspect. And like others have pointed out, it doesn't seem to connect to the Assassin's in any way—it's a different game than AC, only it has the title for marketing.
I'll pass this year on the game.

It's interesting.
