5 Best Steam Games of October 2018
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Another year means another Assassin’s Creed game, with this one taking us over to ancient Greece. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey tells the tale of Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary for fights for both factions in the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta.
Apart from its completely new setting, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey also features more characters, branching quests, multiple endings, and a new romance system that lets players seduce certain NPCs.
Odyssey also follows up on Origin’s skill tree system, giving players more options to build their character. There are three skill trees that each focus on different abilities, with Hunter focusing on archery, Warrior drifting towards combat, and Assassin that emphasizes stealth.
Since the central story revolves around an ongoing war, Odyssey has added in a new War System that allows players to take contracts as mercenaries and partake in actual large-scale wars. Depending on the player’s choice, the War System can change a faction’s influence over a certain region.
If you’re an avid fan of the Assassin’s Creed series, there’s no reason why you should skip this Steam gem (especially since it’s the highest played entry on Steam). We also had a chance to try Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and loved it, evident by our full review.
