CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Origins. Odyssey is good, though, I just need to get back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Theyre still doing updates to Odyssey, so i say go with that. Theyre done with Origins so you could pick it up at any time and not miss special events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Odyssey. The Origins story is garbage. Odyssey’s combat is significantly better, and there is more variety to the gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Something about ancient Egypt was just way more appealing. Seeing the pyramids, the Sphinx. I just enjoyed it all more than ancient Greece. I preferred the story and characters in Origins, too. I really don't think you can go wrong with either, though. They're both highly acclaimed games. I'd say just pick whichever has the setting that appeals to you most, because they're both really similar in terms of game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByWatterson Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Take them both and inject them directly into your ass. Or, like, play them both. Whichever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Odyssey is an improvement on Origins in terms of gameplay and controls/combat, so you'd be better off going with that if you're only picking one. However, if you're not into Ancient Greece and/or prefer Ancient Egypt for whatever reason then go with Origins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggit Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Not sure what platform you plan on playing on, but if you play on PC the next Humble Monthly bundle includes Origins. https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly for $12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet they're two entirely different time periods and environments and thus have different appeals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Egypt setting was incredible, and despite the dumb story I couldn't stop playing it. In Odyssey the story is way better, the characters are better, the combat is improved but I just didn't find the environment as interesting, and that affected my desire to play it more than I thought. It just felt like the world was quite generic compared to origin's very different regions and cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like... come on, bro. Origins take place during the Roman Empire, well after Rome took Greece but slightly before Rome took Egypt (like within a decade prior to Egypt becoming part of the Roman Empire). Odyssey takes place 300 years prior to Greece being conquered by the Romans, during more-or-less the height of Ancient Greek civilization, like, Rome was barely past having kings during Odyssey.

fuckle85 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Both games are arguably some of the best in the series though I prefer Origins because I'm fascinated with ancient Egypt and Ubisoft put a lot of care into depicting it accurately. Haven't played Odyssey yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_of_X Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 As others have said, they're both very good, but I would go with Odyssey as it is an evolution of what they started in Origins and I enjoyed the setting more. This is weird to me as I love ancient Egypt. I think I just got tired of looking at all the fucking sand. lol. Odyssey is a better game, IMO, but personal taste could sway you in the Origins direction pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
