Let me start by saying that just like most of you, I used to hate unacceptable implementations in games such as "Denuvo", "microtransactions" and whatnot, but this...THIS game has made me forget and forgive!
(TL;DR at the bottom)

You know why? Well, simply because, among many other things that I won't mention and let you discover on your own, the game has:

- awesome mechanics
- fascinating characters
- astonishing graphics
- breathtaking landscapes
- an intriguing story
- an unbelievably big map to explore
- epic battles on both land and sea
- an impressive soundtrack
- A LOT of interesting new features
- good optimization from "Day 1" (a very big pro in my book)
- constant "goodies" delivered through frequent updates

AND THEN SOME! 30 hours in, and I almost lost touch with reality, so the above list can and should go on, but this review is already getting too big. (that's what she said)

Oh, and to all of you saying "This is blasphemy...this is MADNESS!", my reply to you is not "THIS IS SPARTA!", but "THIS - IS - A - MASTERPIECE!"

Honestly, this is the ultimate "Creed" compilation with everything we've ever wanted from the series, and more! At this point, I could care less about Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, Aveline, Kenway, Shay, Arno, the Frye twins, Bayek and the three characters from "Chronicles", and I've been a huge fan of them all since the original launch in 2007, but not anymore.
Now there is only Alexios in "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey"!

100/10 - Also, it's a big plus for me considering that I've been a big fan and admirer of anything Spartan/Ancient Greece related for quite some time now. So yeah, being able to perform the legendary "Spartan Kick" while exploring Ancient Greece in all its glory and splendor? SIGN ME UP!

TL;DR?

STOP reading reviews! Just buy it already and thank me and Ubisoft later! Also quit your job/school/whatever. You'll need time...A LOT of time. I'm not kidding. Check my review or profile in a few weeks for "hours played" and you'll understand.

EDIT:

So I've spent 200 hours in one month (so far) playing this game. I would've spent a lot more, but you have to take into consideration the fact that along with "Odyssey", I've been playing a few other games as well in this specified time.
Oh, and I still haven't finished the story...I mean how could I have finished it in such a short time frame, when Ubisoft keeps adding new content and features left and right?
KUDOS Ubisoft!!!
