Elite: Dangerous Expansion Pack
Release Date: May 19, 2021
An extremely ambitious expansion to the Elite Dangerous space simulator, which is being developed from 2014. Odyssey offers, for the first time, the opportunity to explore and fight on the surface of the planets on foot and from a first person perspective.
Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey is another add-on to the Elite: Dangerous space simulator, which has been continuously developed since its official PC debut in 2014. Frontier Developments studio is responsible for the production of the game, the creation of which was financed through a funding at Kickstarter. Odyssey is the most ambitious expansion in the history of game, introducing many options and functionalities expected by fans and announced by developers many years before its launch.
Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey is an extremely important step in the evolution of the game and brings it closer to the shape that the creators imagined at the beginning of the production process in 2012, when they drew up plans for its possible future. In the Odyssey, players leave the cockpit of their spaceship for the first time and from the first person's perspective can freely explore the surface of many explored planets.
However, it ends on regular walks. The developers offer a variety of missions that take full advantage of the new game functionality. We talk to a number of NPCs and travel through various locations. For the players, diplomatic and commercial tasks await, as well as scenarios requiring the ability to sneak in and fight directly using the rich arsenal and equipment. Battles do not deviate from what other popular first person shooters are used to.
All this, of course, takes place in a fully open world, which is also inhabited by other participants of the game. Thanks to the designated hubs/meeting places we can forces with them, creating groups where we perform contracts and tasks together and even create alliances with other clans.
Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey drastically change the look and functionality of the game. The developers have rebuilt the game engine, introducing previously absent gameplay mechanics and technology to play in FPS mode. Also noteworthy are many visual innovations, such as additional ship models, animations, as well as buildings and structures that we visit during trips on foreign planets.

Game Ratings for Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey Video Game.
GameGrin: 5.5 / 10 by Simon Brown
A great base to build from for the future but in its current state it's hard to recommend until Frontier gets in front of the performance issues and bugs that plague Odyssey right now.
Cubed3: 6 / 10 by Chris Leebody
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is a fundamental shift in how this operates - literally. From space to the ground. Taking those first steps on a planet's surface after having landed there is simply awesome, and is decades in the making for fans of the Frontier franchise. The unfortunate reality however is that the performance is currently letting it down. Serious optimisation work is a necessity to iron out a multitude of issues - albeit it's probably not as bad as some are portraying in the immediate aftermath of release. While the new gameplay mechanics come with some variety for those bored of simple space combat, the shooting on the ground also needs a good deal of attention, with AI, and the general standard of combat, alongside the amount of different locations generated on planets, all in need of work. The thing is, this is a journey; a road map, and this is just the first staging post. Hopefully there's a lot more to come down the line.
Attack of the Fanboy: 2.5 / 5 by Brandon Adams
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is an unfinished expansion with some cool ideas in need of a lot of additional iteration and work. As it currently stands the Elite Dangerous PC community is beta testing Odyssey for the inevitable console launch, despite the expansion being d as a finished product. Unless they don't mind paying to play in a glorified beta, commanders should stick with Horizons until the dust settles.
