Best PS4 Games to Have on Your Radar in October 2018
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
After taking a year off, Assassin’s Creed came back in style with Origins in 2017. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey follows up on Origins, using the same RPG systems as a basis, while adding in even more player choice and freedom. For the very first time, you’ll be able to choose your character’s gender, playing as either Alexios or Cassandra, a mercenary in Ancient Greece. There’s a much larger emphasis on choices in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and there are even romance options you’ll be able to choose from.
A new system known as “Active Abilities” lets you assign a number of close range and long range attacks to use directly in battle. You’ll be able to mix and match these as you see fit. Naval combat also makes a much larger return than in Origins, with the option to recruit different NPCs as ship lieutenants.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is more like an iteration on Origins, rather than a brand new experience. However, the gorgeous islands of Ancient Greece look like a fantastic locale to explore. It’s bound to keep players busy for the whole month of October 2018.
