Yes the game is way too big. You can beat the game and Platinum it without doing like half of the "?" on the map.

I'm a sucker for stealth, but by and large, you are going to be repeating the same 4 quests over and over:
Clear the <place> Kill the <person> Talk to the <person(s)> Forced open combat
the only difference being a new texture for a building or face. The environments are too samey to make you feel any difference between fort a and fort z, barring a few exceptions.
I liked it, I completed it, but I can't say it's a good game. For me, it's basically sucrose. Sugar water. I love stealth to a fault, I got the game for free, and when it came out I had a very generous amount of nothing else to do. But it's the same 10 hour game, 5 times in a row.
This is legit. People complained about repetition in Origins and they still managed to make everything less variable lmao.
This. Origins still felt pretty good, despite its weak story and repetitive quests, it's pacing was better too.
Odyssey, once you have your ship, is basically: "here's a hundred hours worth of side shit to do, with no real restrictions or gates or introductions whatsoever, have fun". ---
