Assassin's Creed Odyssey (tl;dr review)

Image
Pros: + Engaging storyline + Your choices matter + Combat works + Many fun challenges and side quests + Beautiful Graphics Cons: - Story didn't end when it should've - Finding and killing every single cultist becomes a chore because a few were pretty hard to find - Side quests are not optional if you want to complete the story - Equipment with varying rarity have similar appearances Graphics: 9/10 Gameplay 8/10 Overall: 8/10 I haven't played a game for so many hours in quite some time now, so I was kinda shocked when I put in as many hours in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as I did. Overall, the game is a very solid one, not without its downsides but still managing to hold my interest right till the end. Read the full review here

In Vampyr, you play as Jonathan Reid, a doctor and newborn vampire, bewildered and hunted down, you run and hide from your adversaries while trying to look for answers and for a place to stay. But after you got away and settled down in a hospital, that’s when things start to unfold, as you get deeper into mysteries surrounding the city of London, you’ll need to make a choice, Save the people or plunge them further into darkness. Environment The game is set in London, early 20 th century, there is a rapidly spreading epidemic, wars on the frontline, and weird dangerous men roam the streets, nowhere is safe for the citizens of London. As a vampire, Jonathan can only be up and about in the night, and the game crafts a perfectly desolate and eerie city, with great background sounds and music, there’s always a sense of tension and mystery on the streets, which is great. The ambience is great, but there is one thing I do not like about how the environment is designed...
