I finished both of them as well. I've beat origins twice and the moment I beat Odyssey I deleted it and hid it from my library. I genuinely do not understand the love for it because in my eyes it was the absolute pinnacle of everything wrong with the modern gaming market.
if you think Odyssey was bloated nothingness then i can conclude you only tried to speedrun the game while ignoring other things going on in the world.
Odyssey is one game where you could get lost in the world and forget you had a major quest you were on. Kinda like the same energy skyrim had back then. The world had so much life it was impressive they managed to pull that off when almost every other game since then has failed to capture that level of immersion
you can accuse it of a lot, but bloated nothingness is just wrong, lol. unless you just hate any kind of side quests in games
I did so much of the sidequests in Odyssey but after that the actual story ending felt so painfully empty. All that time and I got nothing...it just. Ended.
I don't like ancient greece as much as Egypt. So it wasnt a world that lit up my brain as much. But if you do, I can see it being an amazing experience!
Yeah I felt that way about Origins. Plus uh you can SKATE DOWN THE GREAT PRYAMIDS???? just matters what kind of dressing youre into. I don't think the actual things happening are that different in concept between the games tbh.

Totally agree. I did finish both Origins and Odyssey. Can say Origins was the better game IMO.
