This is true. It's funny--people were completely fed up with the stale AC formula of old. So the developers changed it up with Origins, people (mostly) loved it, and then they were complaining about the new gameplay mechanics with the very next game of Odyssey!
Odyssey was a bit bloated and meandering to be sure, but I found it to be really engrossing for most of my 140 hours with it.
Personally, I think the series needs a reboot. They should remake the original Assassin's Creed and remove most of the RPG elements and make it all parkour/assassination focused. Then they can continue making games like Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla as spinoff titles. The problem is possibly removing the name "Assassin's Creed" which would hurt sales, but I think they could get away with it if they market it properly.
I loved how open world Odyssey was. Extremely huge and really well done. I honestly have no idea how AC was earlier than that other than I knew people loved Origins. I dunno how people thought Odyssey was bad, but I can see how the story was a little too much everywhere if that's what you were getting at. The way they tied so many historical parts into the story and world was really well done. I'm really looking forward to Valhalla.
