So... I... uh... I think I beat AC Odyssey today. I'm not really sure honestly. I did this one mission and got a pop up saying I can now do New Game+, but no credits rolled or anything to tell me the game was done. Or at least that the story was done. It didn't even go back to Layla. In fact, Layla servered no purpose at all in this game as there were only two scenes with her. Why even bother with her at all if she isn't going to bring anything to the table?
Back to the game, I don't know what to say other than I feel no pay off at all for the 158 hours I invested in this game. I'm not even sure why this was even called Assassin's Creed as outside of Layla's two segments and Alexios being shown off some events that will occur in the future, it had jackshit to do with the Assassin's Creed plot. It seems like Ubisoft just wanted to make Spartan Total War 2.0 but set it in the Assassin's Creed universe because it was the only way it would make money.
I did Platinum the main trophies, but there are 3 trophies missing from the Other Tales (or whatever they call it) section and honestly, I don't have any desire to find them. I doubt I'm even going to touch the excessive DLC because while I couldn't get enough of Origins, this game overstayed its welcome. I'm not even sure I want to touch whatever the next AC game ends up being unless its going to make the time I spent in this game relevant.
Or maybe my lackluster feelings stem from poor decision making I had in the game? I mean, both Cool, but satisfying none of that was. Well whatever.
