Assassin's Creed Odyssey: 10 Reasons It's The Best In The Series

9. Exploration Mode Needs To Be The Default

It's a shame that Exploration Mode isn't a default setting in Odyssey, as it's easily one of the coolest new features.

Essentially turning Odyssey into a full RPG, Exploration Mode removes the markers that you'd typically expect to see on maps until you've discovered the location for yourself, and it means that quest-givers won't always give you the exact location of an objective, meaning you have to sleuth it out yourself.

Although this may sound like a bit of a chore, it actually makes the game a lot more involving. No longer are you just drifting between objective markers, but are now interacting with the environment and being a part of the world.

This mode absolutely needs to be the standard that all Assassin's Creed games work from in the future.
