More AC: Odyssey thoughts:

\n

It\u2019s really good, they found a good balance between stealth and melee-as-rhythm game and the missions and locations have a good mix of objectives

\n

The writing/acting/directing is seriously good! There\u2019s a lot of choices and they\u2019re not eyerolling angel/monster moral dichotomies but more strict/lenient where it\u2019s not obvious what choice yields the desired result

\n

There is SO MUCH of it, I got to the capstone level gold achievement like half my playtime ago and I\u2019m maybe 2/3 done the five main progress threads and after that there\u2019s maybe another third worth of random quests and then another third of bonus content that keeps coming out. Now I get why Far Cry: Montana felt a bit rushed, they were def. cannibalizing it in favor of this as their flagship open world

this post makes me uneasy, where is the sweeping take on how the game reflects changes in Middle America\u2019s view of itself

\n

There\u2019s some stuff with Sparta and Athens that has potential to go back into the \u201cmore than monarchy, democracy is the form of government vulnerable to self-interested powermongering\u201d territory they trod with the French Revolution and Victorian England ones, I\u2019ll let you know how that plays out
