As a personal disclaimer, I don’t claim to be a card-carrying member of the +1000 hours club, though I’ve clocked a fair 130-150 between PlayStation and PC. For full transparency, this review was performed using a provided copy of the expansion. We reviewed EDO on a 1050Ti 4Gb, 8GB Ram, with an i5-7300HQ.
So let’s review Elite Dangerous: Odyssey (or EDO) through the lens of more objective metrics such as graphical fidelity, characters & story, content & length, controls & gameplay, then finally, sound design & cinematics. As such, ALL forms of review are opinionated and should be taken with a grain of salt this one included. How one derives fun from a product tends to be highly subjective. We’ve got our hands on Odyssey to see what all the fuss is about and ask, was it worth the wait? Let me clarify Odyssey boasts a first-person-shooter dynamic integrated into Elite Dangerous’ already exhilarating formula. Rather surprising considering the wide appeal and demand for the long sought after space-legs.
On Frontier Developments would release its largest expansion ever for Elite Dangerous – to startlingly “meh” reception.
