A perceptive Assassin's Creed Odyssey fan has highlighted one of the game's minor historical inaccuracies concerning Greek armor and equipment. The insight prompted discussion in the Assassin's Creed Odyssey player community about the game's balance between creative license and realism.

Despite multiple Assassin's Creed series games appearing after it released in 2018, Odyssey remains the game to beat in terms of having the best Assassin's Creed open world. The game's massive map seemingly covers the entire ancient Greek map, encapsulating an entire era of history, ranging from accurate representations of period cultures and places to epic legends tweaked to fit in with Ubisoft's original Assassin's Creed franchise lore. Critics and players alike praised the game's staggering attention to detail and inimitable sense of scale.
