You should check out Origins.
It's similar as it's the one that gave the series this soft rpg reboot. Plus Bayek and Aya are reat.

The most impressive thing about this game to me is all the complex system/simulations coming together to make a better whole. The more you invest in, the more you get with these games I feel. It is fantastic open world game and also one of my favorites this gen.
Ah right yes. This is why I couldn't get past lvl 25, despite being a huge AC fan. It's just to fucking repetitive.i mean in terms of structure. obivously an overlay only of a handful of gameplay scenarios (clear bandit outpost, find doodad, ect) permutated 1000 times but with filled in with different environs, characters, VA for 'immersion'. which is a lot easier/faster to develop than something like RDR or witcher which everything is mostly bespoke for moment to moment gameplay
the fact that the game has three major plotlines (your family and your revenge, the Cult, the Isu stuff) and they essentially say "you can finish those three in any order you want!" makes it feel a bit... anti-climactic. I even did those three things kind of in a row (first I managed to reunite Kass's family, THEN I dealt with the Isu/sealing Atlantis stuff and finally killed the Ghost of Kosmos) and even so, doing that in sequence, didn't feel like a proper climax/endgame. It just... happened. Dunno, at least the family scene I got with Deimos was emotionally satisfying, but the rest? Nope. So IMO, the fact that the game doesn't have a point of no return where the three plotlines converge for a Grand Finale -which is something I would've preferred- ended up hurting the experience a bit.
And then, after doing those three things, goddamn Layla has the gall to say shit like "hey looks like I haven't seen everything from Kassandra's story, I'll go back to the Animus now".
Fuck that transparent shit. I wanted an actual ENDING.
The spartan kick is the move I hate to love, it's so fucking stupid that in 2018 we were getting a 300 reference attack, but....it's so fucking fun.
I just picked it up a week or so ago just after picking up my first 4K HDR set. Holy shit is this a looker. WTF are next gen open world games going look like?
I've always enjoyed the AC game loop and I'm really loving Odyssey.
They are less similar than it appears at first glance. It's like the difference between AC3 and 4.played Origins and loved it. fantastic sense of exploration and discovery. wonderful egyptian setting great reboot.
this looks more of the same
The fact that you "don't even like these games" is why you think its awesome.
Because its very far removed from the original vision of the series.
I was initially quite fond of the game, but as time went on, and the hours and the horrendous expansions came out, I soured on the experience. The game is shallow. All of your verbs are "kill" so no real emergent gameplay is possible, progression is strictly vertical and long and arduous (especially with the level cap increases), the story is disjointed and contradictory with an honestly terrible presentation, the writing ranges from sophomoric to ridiculous, and not in a good way; the game is a worse RPG for being an Assassin's Creed game and a worse Assassin's Creed game for being an RPG.
?
he's right. A lot of people like Odyssey/Origins despite not liking AC before.... it's pretty obviously because the game lost most of its AC baggage and became an action rpg.
The gameplay loop is the only thing that makes me going after 30 hours, because man, most of the side quests are nothing but fetch quest with paper thin plot attached to it. I don't really care about bringing bear balls to a horny old woman, and I don't find it funny either.So far the gameplay loop is so so satisfying to me. Hopefully that holds for the next 30 hours

I didn't finish AC1. Really loved AC2 and it's one of the best games of my life. But after that, only played 2,3 games of this series for 1,2 hours and didn't play Unity and Syndicate.
But Origins and Odyssey were amazing for me. Loved both games, played each one for about 100 hours and got platinum from both.
Yeah it's amazing! I know people have different opinions, but still can't believe they say they didn't play more than 10,20 hours because they found it repetitive.
Or Brotherhood. Ezio-Trilogy was peak AC.

Odyssey ist the game I spent the most time on. 130 hours and still going. It is still amazing. In Origins I spent around 100 hours.
Can't wait for the release of the discovery tour next week.
I finally have some free time to start the game , absolutely loved origins .
Only problem is I can't decide between Kassandra or Alexis .
I want to try it but I'm skeptical because everyone who sings its praises also sings Horizon's praises, which while very competent, just failed to grab me.
