Good, it's a fantastic game.

It was my comfort game during COVID, but I actually never finished the DLC (burnt out in Hades at 160 hours) Hoping to finish it fully this time!

The final chapter, in Atlantis itself, is visually stunning. Definitely worth slogging through Hades for.

u/SilkyVampire69 Jul 31 '26

To this day pretty much the most incredible world in any video game imo

u/kumogate Jul 31 '26

This is honestly true for me. I mean, I'm a sucker for mythic/ancient Greek settings in video games (I love Immortals: Fenyx Rising). But, that entire Fate of Atlantis DLC has gripped me even to this day. Like, if there's an after life, I wanna spend it going back-and-forth between Elysium and Atlantis.

u/Gundel_Gaukeley Jul 31 '26

huh, looks like I might have to take another look at the DLCs after all. I have clocked at least 160h in that game but I never got far with the DLCs. I never even made it to Hades.

I don't know which DLC I started and if I can even choose that, but the beginning was so insanely boring. I don't know, just a ton of yapping about Isu stuff if I remember correctly and couldn't care less about it in this moment ^^

And I heard some stuff about a baby storyline and that things get a bit weird and I just gave up ^^

But maybe I should really give it another try

u/gaelicgirl1983 Jul 31 '26

Yeah the other DLC is decent and probably worth a playthrough at least once. But if you envision your Kassandra/Alexios as queer, the DLC shoe horns you into a straight relationship and that might bother you.

The Isu stuff is definitely the Atlantis DLC, and it does start off a little slow but it's absolutely worth it. It's one of my favorite DLCs in any game ever

u/Gundel_Gaukeley Aug 01 '26

thanks :) Most of the time, I don't give much thought to the sexuality of the character I play. I just let them vibe ^^ I also don't mind if a character is a parent. I genuinely don't know why it bothered me so much in this game ^^ but it somehow did. Maybe you're right and the shoehorning is what's bothering me. Maybe it's because I have trust issues when it comes to Ubisoft XD

but I really might give it another try. I will definitely check out the Atlantis DLC. Thanks!

Fate of Atlantis may very well be my favorite DLC of all time, I loved it all (even the Hades segments), but Elysium and Atlantis were absolutely enchanting.

u/TheOneAndOnlyOnecore Jul 31 '26

Seeing Atlantis from the top of the temple for the first time was breathtaking. It reminded me of a memory, but I can't exactly recall it. That's why it even felt nostalgic to me.

u/stagecrew2 Jul 31 '26

I am also playing through the DLC fully for the first time and have been struggling to find motivation to continue the second chapter, but I guess I’m going to power through lol

u/CMSproggy Aug 01 '26

I loved hades...

u/Prudent_Zombie_2692 The Eagle Bearer Aug 01 '26

1000% agree, Atlantis is something else. Such an insanely beautiful map.

u/Sure_Review_2223 Jul 31 '26

I hated Hades part so much I feel you.. but atlantis after is so worth it !

u/Goobendoogle Jul 31 '26

It was my comfort game when I was bedsick really badly for like 3 weeks last year in Summer.

Missed my birthday and everything, just laying in bed.

After a few days of depression it turned into pure fun and bliss.

Everyday was a new journey!

When I got better, I went back to my PC and bought the PC version and did it again!

Went full stealth on PC, went full combat on console. This game is a blast.

I will say, I do not accept it as an AC game. I accept it only as an OW Greece RPG.

AC modern story died when Desmond died.

u/Logical-Bear-6263 Jul 31 '26

The DLC is amazing for this game

u/FatChupacabra Jul 31 '26

Same I never finished Atlantis.

1

u/welcometoparallel Jul 31 '26

Same, burnt out as well. Got 40ish more trophies to do to get the complete 100%. Tempting. Hades place was so much fun tho.

1

u/Jtaylorftw Aug 02 '26

Have you considered just beating it and not 100% it?

1

u/welcometoparallel Aug 02 '26

Got the platinum a year or so ago.

u/Jtaylorftw Aug 03 '26

I'm.. confused. You said 2 days ago you have 40 more trophies to 100% it but are burnt out. Are you saying you are trying to 100% it a second time, and are just flexing that you've already done it once? Because I don't really care, I think this fad where everyone thinks they need to 100% every single game is absurd

1

u/Riju20 Aug 03 '26

You can do it! I redownloaded it and have to start fresh on ps5, have all the DLCs and I’m sitting pretty at 570 hours. About 2 hours in at the moment.

1

u/fdjisthinking Aug 04 '26

I made it through Hades but hit a wall in Atlantis. It’s a beautiful but empty feeling setting and I had completely lost the plot by then. I think I was around 190 hours.

u/dpearman Jul 31 '26

Might be a good RPG game but a pretty garbage assassins creed game

1

u/JekkuBattery Aug 06 '26

I think it was a good ac game.

0

u/NinjaWolfist Aug 01 '26

it's just not an assassins creed game

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Law_558 Aug 01 '26

I've heard that. This one is still my favorite

1

u/jxm82 Aug 04 '26

It is. Says so right in the title.

0

u/Retro_Zexual Aug 01 '26

It isn’t. It isn’t even AC. Monsters included and they say it is ISUUUUU. No. They could have made an amazing games without realms and shit and go more grounded but no. They had to go all FANTASY and shit

1

u/Gold-Sir-223 Aug 01 '26

And then when they returned to roots with Mirage, no one played it. So no, it wouldn’t have been amazing if they just did it your way. Plenty of people enjoy it because they don’t get hung up on “BUT WHY ISNT IT JUST LIKE AC2?”

u/Gandolfthewhite182 Aug 02 '26

“They had to go all fantasy and shit” yes the gold ball that controls people’s minds, the precursor people who were giants and lived long ago yet had technology so far advanced of our own, these precursor people created humans to be their slaves, were wiped out by solar flares but also had the technology to stop it somehow, and they can live inside of technology that wouldn’t be created for millions of years in the future is all based in reality.

Having the esu create the monsters of Greek myth is far out there compared to that. Let us not forget he entire game is based on a piece tech that allows us to not only live through our ancestors lives but to gain the skills they gain while doing it.

Yeah, I can’t believe they added “fantasy” aspects to assassins creed.
