My Thoughts

I'll admit that the Assassin's Creed series hasn't been my personal favorite since they are a little violent. I didn't let my son play them until he reached junior high, but this one even held even my attention. I love Ancient Greece and the legend of the Spartans,  and this game really brings those scenes to life. In  Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you can get explore the tombs of the ancient Greek civilizations. Along the way, there are mysteries to be solved, and discoveries to be made as you journey with the war hero assassin. You will fight enemies and even meet some of the ancient Greek deities.

One of the unique things about this game is that you can play the missions in any order.  This makes the experience unique for each person. You can also play alone or team up to play missions with your friends using Xbox Live. The possibilities are endless, and make this a game you can play over and over again.


My son loved playing this game. He found it challenging and interesting. It's a little too hard for me and my Nintendo hands to master, but I really enjoyed watching him play. The graphics are just beautiful. I love the different views of the ancient cities and especially loved watching the mythical creatures come to life. Watching him play was like watching a movie, and I feel like it's actually teaching him a little about history.

The Assassin's Creed series has been one of my son's favorites. After waiting a year, he was excited to see what they would come up with next, and he was not disappointed. If you'd like to grab a copy of this fantastic game for yourself, it is available now in stores nationwide. You can also grab a copy on Amazon. It would make a great gift for any of the teens of your list.
