Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gold Edition Europe Ubisoft Connect CD Key
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the eleventh main installment of the best-selling sandbox series launched in 2007. Unlike the previous parts of the series, which were action games, this production made a strong turn towards the RPG genre, resembling the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game. Traveling through ancient Greece, the player, among others makes moral choices in missions, plays a character in interactive dialogues and advances to the next levels of experience. The title was created by an in-house Ubisoft studio located in Quebec, which used the help of many other branches of this French publisher. The action of Assassin's Creed Odyssey begins in 431 BC, on the verge of the conflict between Sparta and Athens, in history textbooks recorded as the Peloponnesian War. Before starting the game, we choose one of the two characters - Alexios or Kassandra, who are grandchildren of the famous Spartan king Leonidas. However, in their youth they were cursed by their homeland and banished; we get to know them when they earn their living as mercenaries as adults. The beginning of the story - the title odyssey - is the moment when the protagonist (ka) undertakes a dangerous task that will unexpectedly open the way for him / her to regain his family. Unlike previous Assassin's Creed games, the story of Odyssey is somewhat non-linear. In the course of the struggle, we make choices influencing the course and ending of the scenario - although we cannot change the fate of the world, the choices we make translate into the fate of Alexios / Kassandra's relatives. The story is conveyed through interactive cutscenes, in which the developers for the first time in the history of the series gave players the option of choosing dialogue lines (role-playing). It is worth mentioning that historical figures appear in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. They are mainly the philosopher Socrates, the historian Herodotus who documents our actions, Hippocrates (known as the father of modern medicine) and the leader of Athenian democracy, Pericles. Nevertheless, the axis of the plot is still a fictional conflict between the Assassins (represented here by the lineage of the main character) and the world-manipulating Templars (in ancient Greece organized into the cult of Kosmos), in which artifacts of the extinct First Civilization still play a significant role. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey we observe the action from the third person perspective (TPP). The game puts at our disposal a vast open world, covering almost the entire area of ancient Greece. It is made up of many regions, differing in terms of landscape, population density and level of difficulty. In addition to Attica, the center of which is Athens, and Laconia, where Sparta is located, there are, among others, Macedonia, Delphi (seat of the famous oracle), Olympia inviting to sports competition, and the island of Crete, where the ruins of Knossos are located. In this "sandbox" we can travel both on the horse's back and on foot - which is made more attractive by the parkour system, which is the showcase of the series, thanks to which you can efficiently and effectively overcome obstacles. In addition, seafaring returns in the game, slightly resembling AC Odyssey to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag released in 2013. The ship at our disposal, the Adrestia, can be modified by changing its appearance and equipment. During the game, we can also recruit a crew (e.g. from stunned enemies), and each of its members has unique abilities that affect our abilities during battles with enemy units. Interestingly, sailing is made more attractive by shanties sung in Greek by our subordinates. On land, however, we deal with adversities by choosing a stealth approach or engaging in open clashes (depending on preferences). If we choose a silent solution, we can take advantage of the benefits provided by Leonidas' spearhead - an ancient artifact that replaces the hidden blade known from the previous installments of the cycle. This weapon also grants Alexios and Kassandra special abilities such as powerful attacks and a flash of blinding nearby enemies. They are useful during close quarters duels, during which we make use of various types of melee weapons; we can also shoot a bow. In addition, there are large-scale battles in the game, involving up to three hundred units, and when we break the law, headhunters follow our trail, and we kill them to climb the mercenary hierarchy. In return for the elimination of opponents, completing tasks (main and side) or exploring the world, we receive experience points, and after collecting the appropriate number of them - we advance to the next levels. Engaging in side activities is necessary to push the plot forward and open yourself a safe entrance to more and more "advanced" regions of the world. Each promotion increases the character's stats and gives them a chance to develop these special abilities, divided into three
