![]() Odyssey's crushingly big-yet-paper-thin sandbox sucked all the fun I had out of going anywhere in it, even by boat. However, upon playing, I crashed swiftly against the rocks of the late Assassin's Creed bloat, and from there I could not stop having a bad time. Once I learned that Odyssey would not only bring back full-fledged ship combat, but it would also let me sail to Mykonos - a place I had sailed in real life, and perhaps my favourite spot on Earth - I simply could not resist the siren song of Odyssey's video game tourism. On paper, the game sounds wonderful with its stunning ancient Grecian setting, its ambitious Witcher 3 Wild Hunt-esque narrative choice system, and its mercilessly thrifty take on Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system. Lee: Assassin's Creed Odyssey felt bespoke like a game designed only for me. Kes has got all the Assassin's Creed Odyssey trophies and Lee has seen more than enough of it. We are in bringing out the big guns for this Greek voyage because it's so controversial Lee and I both needed a say. They're fine little time-wasters, although the thought of us not getting to visit historical China, Russia, or India just because the Chronicles series already got to them makes me want to take back even the nice things I said about the charm of these games.Įditor Kes here. Having now successfully written around the subject of what these games play like for two paragraphs, hopefully, I've impressed upon you just how uninteresting the Chronicles games are as actual games. The success of the reboot would see its director (Patrice Désilets) up the scale of the world and eventually make the first Assassin's Creed game. The concept for Chronicles is actually very charming - it's a series of Assassin's Creed titles that play like Jordan Mechner's original Prince of Persia, which is an old Apple II game that would later be rebooted as Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. Sadly, even if they were exceptionally good 2.5D platformers, the Chronicles games would look like odd ducks on a list of some of gaming's biggest, boldest 3D adventure titles. Assassin's Creed ChroniclesThe triplet of Assassin's Creed Chronicles China, India, and Russia was inevitably going to take the spin-off trilogy to the bottom spot on our list - although only because those Assassin's Creed Chronicles trilogy trophies meant it couldn't get away scot-free like the rubbish PSP title Assassin's Creed Bloodlines.
