Sadly it doesn't run on PCs without AVX support.
If anti-pirating is more important than a large chunk of your customer base then goodbye Ubisoft

The voice acting and their lines really kills this game for me. It feels like everything is palceholder.

Completely trash game, bought ultimate edition. It is not actually an Assasssin game. I don't think an assassin looks like a berserker. You surely can do alot of damage but.... the enemy is just tanky as hell, Even a dog on the road has around 100k health..... You have 60000 health in the end game, with 9000 Armor and 8000 damage. IDK why ubisoft's game now has so many fancy numbers while killing an enemy is still hard asf

This game is MASSIVE and it is actually better than AC: Origin which was also fantastic gameplay wise but man does it hurt seeing how overboard they have gone with microtranactions, I payed 120$ and still feel like I need to spend at least another 50$ to truly enjoy this game the way it was meant to be played by the devs, the game is not balanced to be best enjoyed without buying "time savers" and no matter how amazing the game is this is going to be the death of AC as a series if they don't ease off on the extreme level of greed on display at every turn in this game.

Bought the ultimate edition prior to release and feel cheated and ripped off. The listed product specifications and expectations from experiences with Far Cry 5 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and even Assassins Creed: Origins made me believe my PC could run AC:Odyssey as well. I was willing to take a performance hit.

However: AC:Odyssey buggers out w/o error message past the Epilepsy warning. Only after sifting through the support forums I found out that AC:Odyssey REQUIRES the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and will not run on first generation i5 or i7 CPUs and a few others. The game does NOT EVEN mention that the CPU is not supported, nor does it give ANY error message at all. Ain´t that cute?

This dishonest, cheaty and abominally false advertising of Ubisoft will make sure that this was the last Ubisoft product I ever purchased.

Deceptive system specs page. Do NOT buy if your CPU cannot handle AVX. Buy after they patch it out like they did with Steep and The Crew 2.

Absolute garbage that Ubisoft CHANGED the requirements 2 days before release because they forgot to tell us that the game requires AVX capable processors. Origins had no such requirement, and ran fine on non-AVX processors. 2 of their previous games also had this issue, and it was fixed with a patch. This time? Ubi says they have no plans to patch. 100% refund.

I'll keep this as simple and straight forward as possible.

Pros:
- Conversation choices are great. Plenty of humour as well.
- Graphics are gorgeous.
- The photo mode allows for great things.
- Great for pro gamers.

Cons:
- Looting choices are contradictory. You make choices in conversations that are good, yet half of the loot items are restricted behind "Steal". This means you have to do bad things to get everything. Many special chests etc are listed as steal instead of loot. In other words, to get anywhere, you have to be a bad person. I thought Assassins are meant to be good guys in these games??
- Another failure in the game is the levelling system. When I started I saw sidequests and Main missions listed as level 2 recommendation. When I hit level 3, those same missions jumped to match my level. The same goes with enemies. Despite playing on the easiest difficulty (I prefer to play for story than challenge) that I would come across a tough enemy. For example, I was at level 3 and came across a group of enemies at level 3. I couldn't beat them due to the combat system/controls, so I thought that I would leave and level up. So I reached level 4 and returned to them. However, those enemies are now at level 4. This contradicts the difficulty settings.
- Not good for casual gamers.

If you're a pro gamer that can handle the flaws in the game, then that's good. If you're a casual gamer like me, then it's not so good.

I will try to continue playing this game, but I am preferring the previous games.

Runs like crap. Can't even hit solid 60fps on a GTX 1080Ti and I7 7700k at 1080p lmao. Fix your games Ubi.

Incoming comments from salty butthurt fan boys.

I will update this review once I have finnished the game and make it positive if the issues are fixed (which they wont)

Da, foarte relevanti cei 17 frustrati care ai dat 0 sau 1
Pe principiul asta iti gasesesc si cu 20 de oameni care au zis ca Witcher III este pure garbage, ca merge prost, sau ca are prea multa nuditate, sau ca nu are pusti si pistoale.
Deci asteapta si tu sa fie macar 1000 de useri acolo, ca sa zici ca are relevanta nota aia.
 

Contra exemplu clar steam, unde are mostly positive
 

Nu ai cum sa multumesti pe toata lumea. Daca pastrau reteta neschimbata se plangea lumea ca nu e inovativ. Acum ca s-au axat mai mult pe combat, si nu mai e as stealth based, sar altii de cur in sus ca nu mai e in stilul seriei.
