I bought this game a few months ago for $20.00 on sale and it is the best 20 bucks I have spent in some time. I will not be able to leave a review as long and detailed as I want so not to contain any spoilers, but this game is AWESOME. Warning, if you are a huge fan of the early Assassin's Creed games and that is your ideal play style this game might not be exactly what you are looking for. However, if you are a fan of open world RPG's that require some grinding but don't get too repetitive or boring, then you will love this game. This game has an open world that is one of, if not the most beautiful world I have ever explored in a console game. It is not just huge for the sake of being huge, there are tons of things to do within the world. You can climb the peaks of just about any structure in the game (for some reason you can't climb trees) and you can swim to the bottom of the sea and navigate your way through different caves, shipwrecks etc. The combat is addictive and fun. As you progress (level up) you will gain experience points that you can spend on different traits, styles of battle (ranged, stealth, warrior) so there are tons of different moves, skills that you can learn. Therefore you can customize your player to fight to whatever style is best for you. There are also numerous different types of weapons with different strengths/weaknesses and awesome animations that also play a part in your style of battle. There are infinite mercenaries (much stronger enemies than most) that will chase you throughout the game if you have a bounty on you or that you can chase down throughout the game to collect one on them. They all drop special gear that you can equip or break down for materials to upgrade weapons that you prefer to use. There are around 20 or so legendary armor sets in the game that you get from completing objectives or finding in the game world. There are dozens of legendary weapons as well. You can earn special stat bonus' from completing tasks (slayer deed, kill 100 of this or that etc.) or from actually obtaining a weapon i.e. when you collect Poseidon's Trident you can engrave (add) the ability to breathe under water to the weapon you prefer to use if you want. Without going into too much detail. you will go on a long, eventful, non-linear open world journey in which your choices throughout the game will determine the outcome of the story. There are hundreds of locations with unique objectives to fulfill all of which reap rewards of some sort. You will find yourself hunting legendary animals, mythological creatures, cult members, etc. You also get a ship that doubles as a home (fast travel and storage) for naval battles that you can upgrade and recruit enemies or friends throughout the game world to join as lieutenants (all of which have unique naval battle upgrades). I played this game for over 220 hours, I am still not completely done with everything, there are still daily and weekly quests to do as even after all of the main content and DLC is done, there are randomly generated bounties and other objectives that I believe is infinite. There are so many stats, deeds, quests, skills, weapons, armor sets which enable you to fine tune the game that this is heaven on earth for an open world RPG fan. There is an arena you can fast travel to after you discover it to partake in hand to hand combat against some of the stronger enemies in the game for special rewards. There are around 100 fast track landmarks that you can discover. Many of them are very realistic reproductions of real landmarks in Ancient Greece. Many of them lead you to being perched atop some of the highest natural points in the game with some breathtaking views. You will move across the map as the story progresses and weaken different regions within the game world until you trigger a conquest battle (battle of 300) or you will trigger a naval battle. You will be helping either the Spartans or Athenians gain control of certain regions in another seemingly endless objective that will continue to advance with or without you. I NEVER ONCE GOT BORED playing this game! Obviously, I would recommend this game to others. :) Pick it up on Black Friday or on sale for 20-25 dollars (there is also some awesome DLC that goes on sale quite often that would require another couple paragraphs by me to do justice to.)
