Hey all!

Figured we’d try something like this. Let me know what you all think, and if you have any feedback on what you would like a weekly thread like this to look like. Thanks

What are you all playing? Anything you got from the steam sale you’re enjoying?

Been playing Assassin's Creed Odessey lately. It's fun and big, but I think, ultimately, Origins was a better game. There was a lot more cultural diversity present and they changed some mechanics for the worse imho. But it's kinda cool how smooth it runs on my Linux machine!

I played a decent amount of Odyssey (didn't get close to finishing it) but bounced off Origins pretty quick. What mechanics did they change in Odyssey that you miss? Might be worth going back to play it if I know what's different!

What made AC Origins superior to AC Odessey for me was the scenario. Origins pulled me right into the protagonist's emotions and motivations. Whereas in Odessey I never really got why I was supposed to massacre masses of Athenians, then Spartans, then Athenians, then some more Spartans...

I actually liked Odyssey way more than Origins. Haven‘t even played Origins through, simply didn‘t hook me.
