Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Story Arc 1 - Legacy of the First Blade

Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted is a brief but welcome new slice of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that sets the stage for the more traditional Assassins-versus-Templars-style micro-drama that was mostly missing from the base game. Though it's isolated to a single region and only gives you a handful of targets, an intriguing villain and the backstory of new characters sets a good foundation for more Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – which is always a good thing.

There's not a whole load different when compared to the base game, but the first episode of Legacy of the First Blade does a good job at introducing new elements - like gear and the Persian threat - while also building on the same foundations already laid out. It's a promising start from a narrative perspective, as we're already intrigued as to what other webs we get tangled in with the Order of the Ancients, and we're sure that more challenges will emerge as the story goes on.

La présence de Darius permet d’assurer un soupçon de fan service dans une trame esthétiquement et narrativement sombre. En revanche, le fait de revenir en Macédoine et de bénéficier d’un nouveau pouvoir totalement anecdotique n’aide pas à renouveler suffisamment l’expérience, qui vaut avant tout pour la nouvelle intrigue qu’elle introduit en évitant par ailleurs l’idée classique du cliffhanger. Nous attendons donc l’arrivée de la seconde partie de ce DLC avec curiosité.
