Time to complete and NG+

[Odyssey]

as the title stats the avg time to beat the game will be around 60-90 hours with it going up from there, Ive completed most things in the game except the collectibles and im at around 112hours. The game is really long to go through, either like it or not. Personally I love it, but sides the point after completing the game entirely you will not have the option for NG+ with all the traditional things they give you like in Odyssey. I can't speak for achievements though since im playing it through uplay, just that it really sucks. Game is def a worth buy right now especially if you count 1$= 1 hour of gameplay.

i've enjoyed games like that which has a bit of open world aspects where you can do everything possible in them, i remember getting Far Cry 4 a while back, i was so immersed in the game, "the in your face" Indian music, there are times i wish i could go it again for the first time. it's not the only game though, there are others like it out there that i've enjoyed going through and as much as i detest Far Cry 5's storyline, there are exploration aspects in FC5 i liked (for example the ultra cheesy narration of Clutch Nixon's life achievements).

just recently i went through Just Cause 3 and 4, okay i wasn't running windows 7 like i did with FC4 back in the day, i'm on Ubuntu these days, so i've had to deal with annoying crashes in both games, but when i'm engrossed in the gameplay and the storyline, it's quite something.

The point is that those types of games can offer at least 80 hours of gameplay and very entertaining if you let yourself go for it. So i hope your NG+ experience enhances the experience rather than find it lacking the second time out.

I found odyssey replay (without NG+) quite good, I had plenty quests that's been different as first play wasn't a completist play, and I didn't bother replay all quests I did at first play. First play was still not a rush and finished at level 49.

In second play I didn't focused on main story but arena, mercs and cultists, played Korfu free extension rather soon and adding a lot of special engravings, and then realized at level 50 starts a totally new character building this adding freshness compared to first play. In replay the first DLC triggered at end of chapter 6 and something like level 57/58 adding even more stuff compared to original as this DLC is totally merged to main game.

Also a replay allows switch Kassadra/Alexios, and I tried make many different choices.

In a way replay with NG+ would have been more logical but the point remain that past level 50 the level up is slower so NG+ isn't just like starting at level 50 a play.

And then with all extensions and cheap respec one play very long and completist is making sense too.
