I didn't play Origins. But what I consistently heard from others was, "Origins is a cool world, but not exactly a good/fun game. Odyssey is just an all-around better game".
You can go back to Norway soon enough. Getting the arrow skill that blows up walls ASAP will speed you up tremendously believe it or not.
Origins for me was my favorite world and I’m a huge Greek history fan. It could be that it was the first game I played on big bad ass 4k monitor hdr at the time. I remember just staring off into the distance on top of a pyramid.
They had the right systems in place for Origins but it wasn't refined enough until Odyssey. I tried to play Origins after playing Odyssey as my first AC game in forever and it was just too much of a step back. It was all there but just wasn't as much fun. I keep meaning to go back and finish Valhalla but haven't yet. I really liked it, seemingly more than most people but switched over to Cyberpunk when it came out and haven't gotten into playing much of anything after Christmas. I can't even bring myself to finish Cyberpunk after ramping up for and almost getting to the Suicide mission ending.
Yeah odessey seems to be it. After reading so much about Valhalla l think I’ll pass for a while
I get what they were trying to go for in a sense - "how do you blend an AC game into a Viking setting?" Dive should have been a quest you got in the first 10 minutes, not 15 hours. Assassination kills should be baseline, not a talent or skill choice. etc. etc. I could pick this game apart, but in summary.. its still a game that I had fun playing enough to finish the entire campaign. It could have been way better and shorter, however.
Erection acquired.In the end what we need is a new Splinter Cell with Pandora tomorrow multiplayer.
The end
