10 Video Games That Will Consume Your Life

8. Assassin's Creed Odyssey

The latest entry in Ubisoft's long-running stab-happy-chappy simulator, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the biggest and longest game in the franchise to date.

Building off of the foundations that Assassin's Creed: Origins implemented when it completely shook up the series' formula, Odyssey marches forward with a more refined combat system, finely tuned RPG mechanics, as well as a whole lost of mythological monsters to seek out and destroy.

The game is stuffed full of quests, side-missions, hidden areas and legions of soldiers and bandits for you to lock swords with along the way.

It also wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed game if there wasn't a butt-ton of collectables scattered around the world and you better believe that Odyssey is no exception. There's hundreds of the bloody things concealed in the tightest of crevices, encouraging players to explore and experiment when it comes to treasure hunting.

With a seemingly never-ending stream of content thanks to an overly generous season pass, Odyssey will keep you glued to your controller for a good 200+ hours if you're dead-set on finding and doing everything that the game has to offer.
