Those of you who are exclusively there for the action might find this a bit tedious, but most of it is optional and mostly meant for those of us who have thought deeply about lingering questions after Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed III. As going into detail about how you do this would spoil some very interesting moments, we'll just say that there's a lot of difficult choices, world-building, and reading involved. To that end, Poseidon, the god of the sea, has brought us to Atlantis to resolve the tension between the godlike Isu and the humans. Not that they're very happy with the situation. We can understand why the series' mysterious Isu race has decided to take root here even if they're surrounded by pesky humans. Greece, Elysium and Hades were all beautiful in their own way, but the way Atlantis mixes up things with a blend of futuristic and classic architecture is in a league of its own. Even these high expectations didn't stop our jaws from dropping to the floor as soon as we laid eyes on the astonishing city and its marvellous design, and Atlantis is without a doubt something the developers should put on the very top of their portfolio. This was no exception, especially as the first concept art made it clear that the yet-to-be-lost city of Atlantis offered a completely new visual style.

Both Greek mythology and stories about Atlantis have always been an easy way to get us into cinemas, book stores and game shops throughout the years. The first thing that caught our eye when this chapter was announced was obviously the setting. Happily, the French company has outdone itself in terms of adding value to the game this time around, and we're glad to report that there's a strong finish for those invested in the post-launch content. Ubisoft has spent the last nine months polishing the technical side of the game and making some great changes for free, while also offering some new and intriguing lore, fresh environments, and cool loot for those who were willing to spend some extra cash for the final expansions. After spending more than 100 hours in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and its expansions, it's time to conclude Alexios and/or Kassandra's story in the final episode of The Fate of Atlantis.
