**1.0.3 UPDATE BELOW**

AC Odyssey is massive. There really isn't a better way to describe it. It feels as if Far Cry 5 and AC Origins had a baby that only inherited the better parts of each, with a little bit of their cousin, Shadow of Mordor, thrown in for good measure.

Pros:
+ It's beautiful, vibrant, and huge.
+ All of the RPG Elements from Progression to Gear
+ Likeable Characters (NPCs and Kassandra/Alexios)
+ Branching Story/Choices
+ Character Customization
+ Breathtaking and Immersive locations
+ The Peloponnesian War
+ Endless Amount of Stuff to do
+ Engaging Combat
+ CONQUESTS
+ Photo Mode
+ Historical Locations
+ Very Free and Open World
+ Not as Buggy as Previous titles at Release
+ Large Variety of Weapons/Cosmetics
+ Runs Relatively Well considering its scope
+ Ship Combat is similar to Black Flag's
+ Tons of ways to play (Guided/Exploration Mode with Multiple Difficulties, Character Choice)

Cons:
- Some Bugs, but nothing gamebreaking for me quite yet
- Frame drops when near fire/level streaming kicks in (FPS drops is a listed issue on their site, so hopefully
it won't be around forever).
- Needs Optimization


**UPDATE 1.03**
1.03 added some nice additions such as a storage chest on your ship. It's very handy for storing gear you want to upgrade later. Additionally, there were tons of fixes/stability improvements. Performance seems to have slightly increased in some areas of the game. All in all, solid patch, long update notes list, and neat new features. Can't wait to see what's next.

**UPDATE 1.05**
Since 1.03, there really haven't been any major changes that affect my personal experience quite yet. Still having a blast!
