Ancient Greece sprawling as far as the eye can see, a Spartan free to forge a legend.

No gut choice in the data, so let's look straight at the profile. Art direction climbs very high, ahead of nearly 90% of games, though that's on just two votes, so to confirm. Fun follows, solid, ahead of more than three quarters of titles: you lose yourself in it for hours without noticing the clock. Rediscovery and desert island stay around average. But the other side is harsh. Attachment falls to the very bottom, controller feel struggles, and sound hits the floor. The game's tension is right there: a vast, beautiful world that pulls you in, but characters and a controller that don't grip as much as you'd hope.

Against other open worlds, Odyssey bets on scale and panorama more than on combat finesse or intimate emotion. It's the journey that counts, not necessarily those you meet along the way.

So who's it for? You, if you love drowning in a grand setting and exploring endlessly. Much less if you're after deep attachment to the heroes or combat that truly snaps.
