Incredible Tiny Details in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Light Reflections on Water, and the Way They Shimmer
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has some seriously stunning water reflections, all built in as part of the impressive graphical engine the game uses. Depending on the camera angle you’re using, you can see the sun or moon reflected in any kind of water, as well as nearby scenery (like the screenshot we have above).
The cool thing is that the water actually reflects whatever is in your line of sight. It’s not just some generic reflection or texture put in, it’s actually whatever is in the world around you.
These details get even better, however, once you dive in and start swimming. The reflections will shimmer and sway as you’re moving through the water, and you can even see light beams poking through as you dive down. Of course, depending on the time of day the intensity and quantity of these beams will change. Black Flag set the standard for water effects and oceans in the series, but Assassin’s Creed Odyssey really takes it to the next level.
