Picked up Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Monday night because if you pre-ordered the gold edition you got an early release. I didn't pre-order it though, I simply went about an hour before pick-up and hung out and they said that if they had any after the pre orders got theirs then I could buy it so I did. It's not an exaggeration to say that this may be the best Assassin's Creed game ever. You'll hear a lot of people say that it's no longer an Assassin's Creed game but that's bullshit. You still have the core game play elements that made AC what it was. You still have the climbing mechanics, the stealth mechanics, and the climbing big/high things to synchronize mechanic. Other than that it has completely transformed into an open world RPG and it's all the better for it. I'm nowhere close to beating this game, but I can tell you, it's a damn fun ride and I've been enjoying it very much.
