Games Like Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Quick Answer
The closest games to Assassin's Creed Odyssey are Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Ghost of Tsushima, The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Below are 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and what does not.
What Made Assassin's Creed Odyssey Work
Odyssey's Greece is the best map Ubisoft has built and the naval combat is genuinely good rather than a distraction. It is an RPG in Assassin's Creed clothing, with dialogue choices and a mercenary system that hunts you across the world. It is also enormous.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is Ubisoft Quebec's 2018 open-world RPG, set during the Peloponnesian War in 431 BC. You choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary descended from Leonidas, with dialogue choices, romance options and a Mercenary system that sends hunters after you. Naval combat on the ship Adrestia returns from Black Flag. Fans usually want another vast world to explore, or more of ancient Greece.
Also written as AC Odyssey, Assassins Creed Odyssey — same game, same list.
9 Games Like Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Tighter, better paced, and the better story of the two.
Why it fits: Ubisoft Montreal's 2017 game set in Ptolemaic Egypt began the series' RPG era and has a more focused story.

Where to play it: PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

The follow-up, broken into regional arcs that are easier to finish.
Why it fits: Ubisoft Montreal's 2020 game follows Eivor's Viking raids in England, organised into regional story arcs.
What is different: Viking England, with a settlement to build and raids by longship rather than naval battles.
Where to play it: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Games like this →3.Ghost of Tsushima
The best-feeling open world of that generation.
Why it fits: Sucker Punch Productions' 2020 game is an open world in feudal Japan with smooth navigation and combat.
What is different: Feudal Japan and stance-based sword duels, with far less loot and no levels to grind.
Where to play it: PS4, PS5 and PC.
More about this game →4.The Witcher 3
Same scale, far better side content.
Why it fits: CD Projekt Red's 2015 RPG has a huge world and strong side quests.
What is different: A fixed hero, Geralt, and monster contracts; the choices have harder, slower consequences.
Where to play it: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Switch.
More about this game →5.Horizon Zero Dawn
Open-world adventure with genuinely great combat.
Why it fits: Guerrilla Games' 2017 open-world game combines exploration with tactical combat against machines.
What is different: Hunting machines with a bow in a far-future wild; no ships and no Greek myth.

Games like this →6.Immortals Fenyx Rising
Ubisoft's other Greek game, lighter and puzzle-led.
Why it fits: Ubisoft Quebec's 2020 game, from the same studio as Odyssey, is a lighter, puzzle-focused adventure in Greek mythology.

Where to play it: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Switch.
More about this game →7.Hades
Greek mythology done superbly, and it respects your time.
Why it fits: Supergiant Games' 2020 roguelike has you escape the Underworld with help from the Olympian gods.
What is different: A roguelike fought room by room, not an open world; it shares only the Greek gods.
Where to play it: PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
More about this game →8.Elden Ring
If you want an open world that rewards curiosity rather than marks it.
Why it fits: FromSoftware's 2022 open world rewards curiosity without marking everything on the map.
What is different: Much harder combat, a darker fantasy world, and no mercenary ranks or ship to captain.
Where to play it: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
More about this game →9.Red Dead Redemption 2
The most detailed open world made, and the best-written.
Why it fits: Rockstar Games' 2018 open-world western is known for its detail and story.
