Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an open-world action RPG set in 5th-century BCE Greece, letting you choose between two protagonists (Alexios or Kassandra) and navigate a narrative shaped by dialogue choices. Combat shifted toward RPG systems — damage numbers, gear levels, skill trees — a departure from earlier entries' stealth focus. The map is one of the largest in the AC series.

Finding games like Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

Cross-shopping Assassin's Creed® Odyssey? The most reliable signal here isn't a borrowed comparison — it's the studio. Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Bucharest, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Kiev, Ubisoft Shanghai's store page (linked in the sidebar) lists everything else they've shipped, and a developer's own back catalogue usually matches in feel more closely than a genre-tag neighbour. From there, the action tag and the 'Good for' list above are the two filters that travel best.

Good for

  • Players who enjoy open-world RPGs with dozens of hours of side content
  • Those interested in Ancient Greece as a setting for exploration
  • Fans who prefer the RPG branch of Assassin's Creed (Origins / Valhalla style)
  • Budget buyers — frequently on deep discount from its original price

Avoid if

  • You prefer the stealth-focused earlier AC games (II, Brotherhood, Black Flag)
  • Open worlds with repetitive activity checklists frustrate you
  • You dislike gear-level gatekeeping and damage-number RPG combat
  • Epic-length campaigns (50-80 hours) are not appealing

Why pick Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

  • Broad audience appeal — 4 distinct player profiles call Assassin's Creed® Odyssey out as a fit, which is unusual for the action category
  • Strong family resemblance to 3 other entries we track — if you've enjoyed one of those, the transition into Assassin's Creed® Odyssey is short
  • Clear RPG depth profile — the 'Good for' / 'Avoid if' pair tells you upfront whether Assassin's Creed® Odyssey's mechanical depth matches your appetite
  • Released 2018 — Assassin's Creed® Odyssey has had time for community patches and community-made guides to mature

We don't try to declare Assassin's Creed® Odyssey "great" or "bad" — those words don't survive contact with how different players use their gaming time. Instead we ask three questions for every entry in our action catalogue: who is this for (the 'Good for' list), who will bounce off (the 'Avoid if' list), and what does it remind us of (the 'Games like' list). Match those signals against your own taste before trusting any single review score on Assassin's Creed® Odyssey.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Assassin's Creed® Odyssey really for?

Based on the audience profile above, Assassin's Creed® Odyssey fits a broad indie audience. The 'Avoid if' list above is honest about who will bounce off it.

How systems-heavy is Assassin's Creed® Odyssey?

RPGs in this catalogue range from light tactical layers to deep build-crafting and economy management. Check the genre tags and the 'Avoid if' list — if grinding or stat-tweaking are flagged, expect 20-100+ hours of mechanical depth. If they're not mentioned, the game probably leans story-first.

How much player agency does the story offer?

Narrative indies range from purely linear visual novels through branching paths to systemic emergent stories. Treat Assassin's Creed® Odyssey's 'Good for' list as a signal: if "meaningful choices" or "branching" appears, expect replay value; if not, plan for a single playthrough.

How forgiving is the difficulty in Assassin's Creed® Odyssey?

Indie action games often skip difficulty sliders, so the curve is what it is. If reflexes or precise inputs are flagged in 'Avoid if', expect a stiff curve. Genre veterans report most action indies in this database take 8-20 hours to clear.

Is Assassin's Creed® Odyssey worth the asking price?

$11.99 is the standard indie price band. Worth waiting for a 30-50% sale if you're unsure, since most indies hit that discount within 6 months.

The "Games like Assassin's Creed® Odyssey" list above is hand-curated — start there. The "You might also like" sidebar surfaces other entries in our database that share at least one genre tag, which catches looser matches the manual list might miss.

Main story runtime varies — check the HowLongToBeat link in the sidebar for community-reported hours (Main / Main+Extras / Completionist). For most action games in this database, expect 6-15 hours for the main story, double that for completion.
