Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Legacy of the First Blade Episode 2

Shadow Heritage delivers more of the formula set out in episode one: a new villain and a few new tools to continue pulling at the threads of a larger story. Though there are less details concerning assassins and templars in this naval focused chapter, engaging moments and character reveals punctuate another good portion of Odyssey.

Yet, Shadow Heritage is more Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I'm absolutely going to take it as we wade through an AC-less 2019. The episodic delivery system is a ballsy move that's somewhat paid off, though I wish it took more grounded risks.

Shadow Heritage is slightly more fun to play than Hunted was, but some weird narrative decisions undo a lot of the character progression from the main campaign and totally expose the illusion of player choice.
