You are new to the series so you don't really know how they screwed up the franchise yet.
You did see the tip of the iceberg tho.
Enjoy whatever oddessy is but it's not AC.
You can see it as a mix of:
-The witcher
-Shadow of mordor
Games that companies made to look like AC without them being AC ripoffs.
(And then Ubisoft changed their whole franchise to be a ripoff of those games.........)
-And God of War (you'll know when you see it)
The fighting isn't as hard as many say it is, its:
4x hack&slash button
Roll away
Roll back
Repeat
Have fun tho.
Ps:
If you don't like oddessy, you can play other AC's.
If you really only played AC 2, you should play
AC Brotherhood
AC Revelations as well.
It's with the same guy Ezio (the trilogy)
AC 3 (is the last part of the protagonist)
AC 4
AC Rogue
(These three are basically a trilogy as well)
AC Unity (story of rogue is tied here sort of)
The parkour is sick
Character customization is very nice
Fight mechanics started to be better
Missions are good
AC syndicate (started to get meh)
No build up for the characters
Parkour/climbing became useless
Customization went way downhills
Knife fighting was cool tho
AC Origins... (here it became a looter slasher)
I do give this one a pass for being a different game.
But only because of where it takes place.
This one should've had a trilogy as well.
But....
They came up with ac oddessy (SPOILERS)
-This takes place before AC Origins
-That means AC Origins is not the origin...
-Your NOT an assassin/hidden one because:
They are not invented yet by the hero from Origins
-You are a mercenary
(something you hired as a distraction in the previous games)
-No hidden blade
-No sick looking iconic AC&Spartan fusion outfit.
-Hack n slash (no rules)
-Fighting gods and mythical beasts (God of War)
And then valhalla (didn't even play it)
Where the Assassins are basically only mentioned.
You fight witches and warlocks now (the witcher)
Fighting gods again (God of War)
The last 3 games
Origins
Oddessy
Valhalla
They sell, not because they are good AC games.
(Origins gets a pass for this)
They are only selling because a lot of players like to play open world games.
They could have easily made oddessy and valhalla spin-off games for, For Honor.
And it would've sold probably 10x more as well.
But yea...
