I haven’t exactly had 'big love' for the Assassin’s Creed series in the last seven years; outside of a brief romance with naval battles in Assassin’s Creed Black IV Flag, Revelations sort of killed the series for me. I wasn’t really sure I could love again… that is until I spied Assassin’s Creed Odyssey from across a crowded battlefield (in Ancient Greece). And, only a mere 2 hours in, I am absolutely in love with the game.

In this video, I explore and detail all the ways AC Odyssey makes my heart go pitter-pat. I’ll give you a hint: it involves exceptionally voiced characters, roleplay elements, whether it be dialogue trees or armor engraving, and gorgeous sights and sounds you can climb unsettling heights to view. Basically the five ways it fills that Bioware-shaped hole in my heart.

I haven’t even reached the section in the game where you recruit and command a crew on the high seas to engage in battles, the visual spectacle of which would make your eyes bleed. Nor have I had the chance to truly test out that complex new fighting system… but what can I say? As Aphrodite will no doubt attest, love doesn’t always make sense.

I hope you enjoy these eight minutes of gushing, and if you think it looks like a game for you, please do comment below, and like the video! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to Rock Paper Shotgun for more lovely PC gaming goodness (we promise our video content isn’t all like this: mushy).
