    Tanking performance to "protect" a game from being cracked is inexcusable. I will change my review after Ubisoft have decided to take out Denuvo and allow the game to be played to its fullest potential.

    Beautiful game, but it doesn’t feel like an assassins creed game. I may be a bit of a fanboy, but I just miss the subtlety of the first few entries.

The game feels too grindy and the story isn’t interesting enough for me to want to follow. With any story, I feel it’s easier to follow when you know how a character feels through the story, and Bayek had hardly any character, so it was hard for me to stay engaged in the story. I feel Unity, although really buggy and in dire need of a lot of polishing, was a step in the right direction. I don’t like being FORCED into combat and feel open combat should be a punishment for getting caught while in stealth.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First, some of the negatives.

    If you have played the first 10 hours of Assassin's Creed: Origins, then you have played the whole game. The combat is fun for a little while, but pretty much all the non boss enemies you will encounter are seen in that 10 hours. The main story plus doing side quests and exploring took 35-40 hours, so the repetitiveness gets a bit grueling. The main character is likable, but terribly gullible. He is constantly manipulated by his wife, who repeatedly coaxes him into carrying out her bad decisions as well as becoming a mass murderer, by playing on the loss of their son. The game then forces you to play as her, but she has the same skill set as the main character except not as good. Worse versions of all the main characters abilities, worse weapons an armour, etc. She's mean to everyone. She complains all the time. Essentially, she is the complete opposite of the main character except for his bad quality, being extremely gullible. I know they were going for strong female character here, but they created the opposite. Whoops

    Positives

    The environments in this game are beautiful and capture Egypt really well. The animations look great. They kind of adopted the Breath of the Wild climb anything mentality in this iteration. Old games required certain handhold set pieces. This gives a lot more freedom trying to navigate the world as well as infiltrate a stronghold. The fighting, for the most part, feels alright. The different weapon mods are neat. Game-play in general all feels really solid. The best part of most Assassin's Creed games for me ends up not being the games themselves, but the history they are based off of. This game is no different. Found myself looking up all sorts of Egyptian history and geography.

    Like most of these AC games, I wish the story was more gripping. If this were a movie story, it would give a 2 or so out of 10. Luckily, it is a video game :)    … Expand

    I've enjoyed the AC series, iteration I - IV (black flag) and the main attraction of it was that it continued the stealth gameplay that the *original* Splinter cell game established, but which the latter series for some reason abandoned in its sequels. AC Origins however does away with the stealth focus, and a number of other things which made the previous titles fun to play. To me theI've enjoyed the AC series, iteration I - IV (black flag) and the main attraction of it was that it continued the stealth gameplay that the *original* Splinter cell game established, but which the latter series for some reason abandoned in its sequels. AC Origins however does away with the stealth focus, and a number of other things which made the previous titles fun to play. To me the game was a major disappointment. Where the former four installments had interesting stories to tell, characters you had some emotional attachment to, skills that manifested naturally as part of the story, Origins has none of that.

    In Origins you are a clumsy social worker with "sword", who flails unsuccessfully his weapon unless you continuously spend hours doing tedious busy-work to get a [experience] counter to increase. This means the game *forces* you to do tedious and repetitive busy-work even if all you want is to play the main story-line.

    Gameplay:
    The above paragraph says it all. The gameplay has regressed on all fronts except graphics and map size. Where the previous titles allowed you to focus on *what* you wanted to do, Origins have you constantly focus on *how*. This may appeal to some players, but it did not to me. The witcher struck a fine balance between player agency during combat and still being "an awesome hero". Origins has rougher control and response which makes fights imprecise and a bit of a crap shoot. This wouldn't have been so bad if the game didn't at the same time do away with most of the stealth which has been the hallmark of the franchise. In this combat oriented title these rough controls really got on my nerves.

    Protagonist:
    The main character is as wooden and uninteresting as a twig. Easily the least interesting character in the entire AC franchise so far. He has a wife however which has a lot more personality, seems involved in a much more interesting setting and plots. For example being an instrument to Cleopatra taking power, and when playing the game I felt that it would have been much better to have *her* cast as the lead.

    Story:
    It doesn't matter since most aspects of the game seems so detached from it. No interesting developments happening related to it, only a few lackluster recall cut-scenes which have no bearing on the progression of the game. It's a classic revenge setting. A family member got killed and off you go into the world.

    Side quests:
    The accomplishment of providing interesting and engaging side quests which the witcher game brought about two years ago has clearly been noted by Ubisoft. In Origins the company tried to tackle their number one complaint across their titles; forcing people through tedious fetch-quests. Unfortunately they did not study the inspirational title hard enough. Ubi observed some of the ingredients which made witcher side quests appreciated by the public, but failed entirely at putting those ingredients together, into something which resulted in entertainment. Instead what Origins offers side-quest-wise are still the same boring fetch-quests that have plagued the company's titles for years. The only difference to previous games is that this time they have you follow (literally run / ride behind) some uninteresting NPC, that you'll never meet again, for minutes, listening to pointless conversation, and *then* applies their old formula; pick up an item/kill a person or animal. There's absolutely no connection to the story, making these exercises entirely mind-numbingly boring and pointless.

    Technical:
    Ran OK on a Windows 7 machine with Intel i7 4770 CPU, 32GB RAM and GTX 1080 with frame rates between 40-60 FPS. No crashes that I can recall.

    Conclusion:
    This is the first AC game which I will not complete. I've invested 40 hours into it and can stand it no more.
    When I feel like playing a stealth game right now, I see two titles on my desktop. Wolfenstein NC and Origins. Wolfenstein gives me more satisfying stealth game play, controls, interesting characters and a better story. So if you're looking for some satisfying sneak-killing, then Origins is probably not for you.

    The following excellent review echoes my own feelings about the game nearly perfectly. Particularly observations 20-4 in the article's descending order. Chagrins 4-1 I did not agree with or did not suffer:

AI of the opponent is just meh... stupid as always. Main character Bayek is unfortunately dull and boring. Side quests are meaningless fetch quest, go there bring that, kill him, steal that, no real story behind them and complexity, there was only one or two that was "cool". Loot system is ok, cool looking armors and weapons. Soundtrack is amazing, Every song enhances the mood in the game. Lipsync is off very often and sometimes I beg for the NPC to stfu already, every minute you hear the same small talks of the NPC's, once I had 3 NPC talking the same text with little delay, it sounded like an echo. Performacne - CPU usage at 100% all the time, frame drops but overall not bad, I was able to run AC on ultra on my 4yr old pc. Is this game worth 60$ + 40$ season pass + micro-transactions? Hell no, but if you wait and get it for maybe 30$ at discount then its a fair price for the experience.… Expand

    - devs continue on bringing back some good stuff that they removed in Unity and Syndicate

    Cons:
    *anti pirate system that eats a 50% more of PC performance.
    - sadly forgettable main quest with self-repeating plot (one more revenge coolstory)
    - "rpg elements", leveling that makes game more repetitive and prolonged but dont add anything fascinating. grindwalls.
    - stealth mechanics almost removed.
    - 2 hidden knifes removed. no awesome kills on the run and other cool animations from the past allowed.
    - no new cool weapons/fighting styles
    - no big items or sets that we would like to collect.
    - combat system, "inspired by" Witcher and Dark Souls. Every cool feature from the 1-4AC removed. Shield gameplay that got boring in DS2 and been removed and laughed at in Bloodborne in 2015, been copied in AC in 2017. Makes gameplay boring and repetitive af, while not bringing anything fascinating. Cool animations of parrying and killing more than 1 enemy - removed. Everything that been lackluster in Wither and DS - blindly copied while AC also add broken "lock-on" on top of it.
    - Only good thing that been added in Unity was new depth in killing main enemies. We have a place with enemy and many ways to make it to them. In Syndicate this been brought even further with awesome context kills. Now everything is removed.
    - less realism with flying numbers and stabs with giant swords that only make character to move backwards a little bit and say "ooh"
    - bad new controls. Hidden Kill placed on separate button while still only being used in context situations.
    - not an assassins creed game.    … Expand

    ACO is just a Far Cry Primal but in Third Person View.

Too much stuttering and lag. - The buying, selling, adding point system by hold your left-click is too annoying. - The inventory, gear interface are stupid and inconvenient.

    Assassin's Creed is a wrong title for this decent game. I understand that the concept is "origins", so it'd be necessary to not see so much Assassin-ish stuff, but it's imho not the correct move after taking 2 years off.

    I find the plot indecent; initially it was good but then it went too vague, to me it seemed like the dudes went off-budget and cropped a lot from the late parts of the game. I got bored by the last few missions and wanted to finish & remove the game quickly.

    Combat is so much fun and obviously better than the prev AC games, but again a wrong move for an AC game. Who needed it?

    Stealth is a miss. Guards are much more responsive which is great, the AI is decent; but where the heck are crowd kills or in general, the disguise? Combat is given more importance in the game. Again, wrong move.

    Parkour is totally eliminated. I show my mid finger here to the devs.

    The modern life parts were unnecessary. Everyone has an Animus these days and especially this dudette can go to everyone's past. Really?

    The graphics are excellent, the movement physics and stuff is improved on previous AC titles, but the fighting is simple brawling and the missions and plot are repetitive and boring. At first I was intrigued by levelling up my gear, but that's all done now and I'm barely halfway through the game. It was cool to see the pyramids, and explore some tombs, but just doing essentially just more of the same stuff over and over with no challenge or useful rewards is disheartening (gaining xp to level up is only necessary because the level system is so wonky, attack someone a few levels higher than you and you barely do any damage at all while they can one shot kill you) so gaining xp feels less like a reward and more like a forced grind so you can continue.
    Kudos to the graphical design teams and artists, the world is beautiful and it ran smoothly on my pc mostly, but the game itself gets boring and repetitive quickly, and it's just not fun or challenging (yes I could go and fight enemies ten levels above me and slowly wear them down for a challenge, but after putting 300hrs into Nioh, the fighting in this game is abysmally boring and simple). I've seen people say you should use different attack styles to make it interesting, but, why bother? when I can just hack up the enemies, why bother being stealthy? it's not a challenge it's just slower. Why even bother hacking them up when I can just use a magical guided arrow to kiil them one by one? I'll just hack em up anyway, it's quicker...

Of course there are a lot of locations but most of them have only weapon. Whole game is based on weapons. They are everywhere.

    Parts of the game are visually astonishing, especially the underworlds in the second DLC. And they had the right idea about the combat, even though it's still undercooked in Origins and it took Odyssey to perfect it. But relying on side quests instead of activities is a huge downer. They are boring, repetitive and unrewarding. I MUCH more preferred activities of the old AC model.

    But like other reviews said : The Game is too massive, too large. - i do like games with good content like Witcher 3 (replayed 3x on 100%) but not if its uncreative and stretched.

    In my opinion the game is worth like 20-30€. I do recommend using a trainer/unlocker for the ingame shop items though.    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics, scenery and detail. Ubi brought ancient Egypt to life, its utterly stunning. However, It's a little boring, gameplay wise, Singleplayer MMO style grindfest. You don't feel like an assassin. Older AC titles are build around a stealth kill system and penalised open warfare, this does the opposite, and the story isn't that gripping to begin with.

The first 30-40 hours I played with ecstasy and explored this ancient Egypt. And every hour I understood that Origins is not a new product, and just one project of Ubisoft in which all mechanics of studio are used. Hunting and interaction with animals - Far Cry, Oryol drone from Watch Dogs, big empty and boring (in comparison with Skyrim and Wild Hunt) the world from Wildlands. Fighting mechanics - For Honor on the minimum requirements. A plot which had to tell about formation of an award? Why, if fans can push nonsense with set of historical persons. Let's give to formation of an award of 30 minutes of a game - same INGENIOUSLY. A game is a degradation of a series. The majority of mechanics or is simplified to a minimum, or in general is removed. The architecture is simplified to a limit. Games are caused by disappointment. Origins - a striking example of the fact that Ubisoft isn't able to release the worthy product looking as NEW any more. But a game has 1 advantage - it is a visual look. It is the best study of the area and a historical setting which I saw in video games. At Ubisoft one of the best designers and artists in the industry. It is a pity that only they also work in studio.

    The revised combat system certainly is refreshing but unfortunately, there is no long-term fun to be found in it for me. After about ten hours I grew tired of fighting enemies.

    The main story is mediocre at best with a very small number of powerful moments. While the characters certainly are interesting, they go through relatively little development over the course of the story.

    Other than that, it's... Assassin's Creed. You sneak around, you kill people, you climb towers, you collect things. The last two things are probably the game's biggest issue. It's just too much. The map is ridiculously big and is chock full of side-activities that are ultimately pointless. Sidequests are neat, but again, are nothing to write home about. Other than that it's your usual collectathon. Go to location, pick things up/kill specific enemies, rinse, repeat. It is beyond me how anyone could think that it is a good idea to develop the game like this. It's overwhelming and exhausting. The only way around this is to entirely focus on the main story which causes me to feel like I'm skipping over content I have paid for.

    Really, it's a shame that more linear singleplayer experiences are going the way of the Dodo as far as multi-platform AAA developers are concerned. Most new AAA games are either multiplayer-only/focused or live services or open-world games or a mix of all of those - simply because it keeps people playing and allows for aggressive monetization using microtransactions. Maybe I should stick to indie and A or AA games.

    Далее по каждому пункту можно выставить балл (0, 0.5 или 1) и просуммировав все получить оценку.
    1 - Графика в игре отличная, очень порадовало сглаживание. Баллов: 1
    2- Геймплей - немного расстроило отсутствие расчлененки из-за чего добивания иногда смотрятся скудновато, но в остальном все нормально. Разнообразие оружия на высшем уровне а что касается боев верхом на лошади - в этой игре, имхо, она лучшая что я где-либо встречал. Баллов: 1
    3 - Сюжет - в целом основной сюжет построен неплохо, но нет ничего что бы заставило сопереживать и запомнилось. Побочные квесты имеют в большинстве своем какую-то историю, но все персонажи очень мимолетны и незапоминающиеся. Баллов: 0.5
    4 - Качество игры - не ощутил проблем, на максимальных настройках получилось играть без проблем. Однако поначалу игры присутствовали очень неприятные баги и зависания в процессе, который чудесным образом исчезли. Баллов: 1
    5 - ИИ - проблем не замечено. Баллов: 1
    6 - Реиграбельность - после одного прохождения желания вернуться увы, нет. Баллов: 0
    7 - Проработанность мира - в игре очень много персонажей, но, к сожалению, разработчикам не удалось качественно передать и открыть игроку их историю и характер. Игровой мир не отличается особенной глубиной подачи. Баллов: 0
    8 - Качественные нововведения - личный орел, отличное сочетание ближнего дальнего оружия. Баллов: 1
    9 - Управление - нареканий нет. Баллов: 1

The game was released in 2017 and bring some significant changes to both story and gameplay. For the first time we leave the chronological sequence of AC games and we are instead thrown into the ancient Egypt in times of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. And when I say thrown into, I mean thrown into. You get no intro, no explanation, no nothing. The beginning of the game can be pretty confusing. But lets take a step back and first focus on the positives of this games. First and foremost: the graphics looks very nice, it is colorful and vibrant. But pretty graphics is just not enough on its own. I am struggling to name any other positive things about this game. Maybe the star puzzles are a pretty good idea. Of course the historical period would be very interesting and a great setting for an RPG game, but it has been mistreated and reshaped in Origins to a point where you get almost no enjoyment out of it. That is about all the good I can say about this game. Now for the bad: First of all, this game is supposed to show the origins of The Creed. I was hoping for something grandiose, something meaningful, something profound. But all I got was very underwhelming. The main protagonist Bayek, who by the way looks exactly like a terrorist, is on a warpath looking to get revenge for the murder of his son, which happens before the game. He try to tell others and himself that what he is doing is righteous and good, but it is very clear that he is blinded by rage and murders thousands just to undo something that cannot be undone. To me that does not sound like something worth founding a brotherhood for. Furthermore his insufferable bisnatch of a wife Aya is bossing him throughout the game and in the end instead of being with Bayek, she just leaves him for no reason whatsoever. Brilliant. All throughout the game, the story is very black and white, very predictable, the quest design is super repetitive and boring. In the last two AC games, the investigations very pretty fun and even challenging, of course that proved to be too much for the AC players and so this time around you just click few places on the ground and all the deductions are done for you. Next thing I got to mention is the accent, all characters speak English with an Egyptian (or whatever) accent, including bad grammar, which I kept noticing throughout the game. The game is also very prudent (for obvious reason), there is no nudity whatsoever, even your marital sex scene. The game takes obvious hints from the Witcher 3 in some areas (music, certain gameplay mechanics), but sadly it does not get anywhere near the quality of the W3. Oh and two more historical aspects that I were obviously written with a clear agenda. Julius Caesar himself is portrayed as this pathetic coward, who is ruled by his own subordinates and needs to be reprimanded and educated about the role of women in the world. Then he gets murdered by Aya, who apparently orchestrated the whole thing. Wow. And one other thing: there is literary no mention of slavery or slaves throughout the game, despite the fact that all Egypt, Rome and Greece were civilizations, that could not function without slavery as they were. I guess it must have just slipped the writers mind. Microtransaction are present throughout the game as you would expect. The SJW is present, but somehow it did not feel as ridiculous as in the Syndicate. I played on PC and it took me about 55 hours to finish the whole game without DLCs, I did not have any motivation left to play those.

    I would not say it was an outright bad game. Certainly not my cup of tee, but I thing more appropriate word would be mediocre. A mediocre game for an mediocre audience. Final Verdict: 50 %    … Expand

"Men kheper re" and the game says it's Rameses. :) Such flaws got me bored.

    The game most of the time is boring. The cutscenes lacked emotion and felt disconnected. You trigger a cutscene, try to concentrate on what's going and then a loading screen! That's not how you handle the transition between gameplay and cutscenes.

    I tried to like Bayek since he's ethnic Egyptian but unfortunately he didn't left me any impression. Aya was much more interesting, I wish we had played with her only.

    The story and the historical background is really cool tough. The ending was also intense.

    Gameplay was meh... The new fighting mechanics are really cool but lacked diversity and felt repetitive. Skill tree is meaningless because you don't feel Bayek is improving.

    And the murmurs of Egyptian NPC's are silly. Dialogues don't make sense.

    If only the game was much more detailed.. All in all the land of Egypt is amazing to traverse and story is worth seeing.

It prevented me from feeling truly involved in the universe, and after 40 hours of dedicated quest-solving (as I usually do), I found myself feeling like I didn't wanna do the side-quests anymore, as they are really all the same and the poor writing and dialogues just fail to compel you to do them. "Go fetch me stuff", "bandits kidnapped my brother", "meet me there and go kill these guys" quests. A tiny handful of them are slightly better and more immersive, but they eventually all lead to killing a bunch of guys.
    Also, I think Ubisoft could use a bit more boldness in their writing. Cliche moral how-you-should-think lessons are everywhere. Men and women are exactly equal in every way, thieves are just nice people who want to feed their families, bad guys are selfish xenophobic and/or mysoginistic to the extreme, nice guys are selfless, love everyone with such deep passion and connection... It gets tiresome. Force-feeding eventually only leads to barfing. Just write a story Ubi, and let us think how we want to think. Just this would make dialogues, story, flavour texts,... much better for many of us.
    I thought its biggest strength lied in its environments. The game is gorgeous, exploration feels nice just because of it. Rather it is the cities or the nature areas, it's very pretty, the sights are top tier.
    Music is great.
    Fights are nice, ask for a bit of learning. Bayek of Siwa, the main character eaten alive and defined by his grief and his desire for vengeance, is charismatic and a good AC character. Although his character is not very "deep", we still feel empathy for him and enjoy playing as him, his voice-actor nailed it too. The stealth/assassin mechanics are still there, still fun, still work just fine.

    Overall, and I'm sorry to probably be the millionth guy to make this comparison, I'm sorry to say that despite its strengths, after a game like The Witcher 3, this game feels rather bland. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun, still nice, still badass, but if you expect an immersive world, story, dialogues, quests, this might just not cut it. AC Origins just got a grip on the bar that The Witcher 3 has set for open-world games, but doesn't set itself at the same level, it just... hangs on it, awkwardly at times.

    But as I said, fun game still, newcomers to the gaming world or young gamers might love it.    … Expand

    Origins is a wannabe open world RPG with an uninteresting storyline, boring side quests, forgettable characters and an annoying forced level grind to top the dissatisfaction off and encourage time-saving microtransactions on its badly optimized single player game. It might have beautiful graphics, impressive sceneries and somehow okay combat, but that is not enough.

    Could have been so much better if it wouldn't be so damn repetitive and boring. I just wanted to enjoy a interesting story but instead it's a huge grind fest with boring side missions I had to do because the main quest line required a certain level. It just felt like work instead of a fun game. On the other hand the graphics are really nice and I also liked it's setting.

    A beautiful game , which is completely different from previous games , I think it is a reboot ! whatever the story is mostly good , but ''villains murders ur child and u re on the way to take revenge"' cliche. story is bit much of overstrechched ! pc optimization is decent but game runs far better on nvidia cards.

La combinación de los hechos historicos con la historia del origen del credo realmente mantiene el interés en seguir con el juego.

    Side Quests

    Combat
    ------
    Combat is mediocre, not very complex, annoying sound effects, annoying slow motion effects, extremely repetetive, limited enemy movesets

    The climbing mechanics are quite fun.

    This game lacks true emotions, feels like a mainstream Hollywood movie. It was clearly not made with love. It was made with a "good enough" objective.

    Cities look very good, but NPCs keep saying the same phrase over and over and most houses you cannot enter. You cannot even open doors. Very annoying and cheap.

    I bought it for 13 Euros and that's ok. But please, don't be fooled by the good graphics. This game is unfortunately mediocre. It is not bad, but not good either.

    How does it compare to Witcher 3? Maybe it's 50% of it, it is just to boring and repetetive.

    How does it compare to Dark Souls 3? Combat is a joke compared to Souls Games. It totally lacks compexity and is always the same button mashing.

    Ubisoft, next time you make a smaller open world with a better story, better quests and better combat. Improve your quality!

Although Origins has been released four years after Black Flag the game is very similar. The only point that could have been worked out better are "thrilling moments".

    It's not good, it's not bad. just incredibly average.
    The fact that Ubisoft thought that it was a good idea, to force dozens of side quests, on players, just so you can be able to play the next main mission, rinse and repeat 20 times. It baffles me.

    How can your ruin assassinations in an Assassin's creed game?
    It has a forgettable plot, and somewhat great characters.

    Truth be told, it's an amazing open world with so many layers to it. There isn't a better feeling than climbing the pyramid for the first time. Just seeing the view is worth it.

    I would probably really like the game if it didn't have "Assassin's Creed" in the title. Cause that is not what this game is.
    They force the assassin side of the story in to the third act, and other than that it has nothing to do with it. It is, as the hundreds of other people has said, a "witcher 3 clone"

    If you see this game for less than 20 dollars, go buy it. 6/10    … Expand

    Probably the most amazing game world I have ever seen. The open world is both huge and varied. And the attention paid to historical details is awesome.

    This game should have been a lot of fun. But.... The game world is soulless. The main quest is simply terrible - a basic hit list to complete. Some of the side quests are somewhat interesting, but there is little variety. It's    Probably the most amazing game world I have ever seen. The open world is both huge and varied.

    This game should have been a lot of fun. But....

    The game world is soulless. The main quest is simply terrible - a basic hit list to complete. Some of the side quests are somewhat interesting, but there is little variety. It's basically all about killing scores and scores of people. There is little enemy variety, and strategy & tactics are simple. The game engine is very limited in what it allows you to do, so everything becomes repetitive. There is little item variety, so looting is largely pointless, as is discovery and exploration.

    There is this huge open world begging to be filled with content. And the world itself has a lot of variety. But what you can do in this world does not, and large parts of the map are pretty much empty.

    Midway through the game I really just wanted it to end, but I played on just in order to finish it and move on to other games.    … Expand

    Tanking performance to "protect" a game from being cracked is inexcusable. I will change my review after Ubisoft have decided to take out Denuvo and allow the game to be played to its fullest potential.

    Итак, Истоки. Игра полна на отсылки, действительно. Старый фанат серии много раз ностальгически улыбнется, проходя эту игру.

Сюжет стал немного лучше предыдущих частей, гринд стал более разнообразным. Но. Зачем создавать такой, действительно, огромный мир, если вы его не можете как следует насытить? То есть, конечно, заняться есть чем. Бесконечные "знаки вопроса", гробницы, аванпосты(привет, ФарКрай), святилища, побочные квесты. Это все можно, и к сожалению, нужно изучать, ведь иначе, тебя не подпустят к сюжету, ибо ты еще слишком мал уровнем, и будешь потеть как с*чка. И это изучение развлекает тебя, ну самый максимум, первые часов 10. После этого, градус унылости происходящего начинает нарастать с неумолимой скоростью. Все эти места, зачастую, одинаковы и однообразны, и потому попросту быстро надоедают. Что там по побочным квестам? Ну, я старался, но это прям халтура в чистом виде. Лишь десятая часть этих квестов может представлять хоть какой-либо интерес. Все остальное - тупые диалоги, идиотские задания, глупые истории. Ах, ну да, и в большинстве случаев, все сводиться к одному: Кто-то из властей ах*ел, и меджай идет выдать п*здюлей. Скучно, очень скучно. Вспоминаю побочки из третьего Ведьмака и рыдаю. Системы очень похожи, но в Ведьмаке, я боялся упустить хотя бы один квест, настолько они были увлекательны. Что там с сюжетом? Да норм. Ну. в смысле сойдет. Проблема тут в другом. Только 40% времени от силы, вы будете проходить этот сюжет. Все остальное время вам придется, повторяюсь, ПРИДЕТСЯ, изучать огромных размеров карту, половина из которой даже не используется в этом сюжете. И вообще хз, кого это может действительно увлечь. Что в итоге? В итоге, ставлю положительный отзыв, потому что Истоки, это определенно шаг вперед, после ничем незапоминающегося Юнити и мультяшного Синдиката. Жаль разве что шаг этот совсем небольшой, потому что Истоки, это даже не Блэк Флаг(который я, к слову, не люблю). Но, это хотя бы уже не Синдикат с Юнити. Верим в лучшее, господа, ищем хорошее.… Expand

    The resurrection of the seemingly exhausted series was successful. Beautiful and enormous Egypt is complemented by the sympathetic hero Bayek and plenty of modifications to the proven formula. [Issue#280]

    This killer holiday in Egypt is definitely no boring. On the contrary, it is a pleasant excursion to the times, when the sphinx had a nose, and mysterious killers did not call themselves assassins. You cannot find a nicer version of an Ancient Egypt in any other game, and up to it it’s entertaining. A modest family story affects the whole empire at the end, and you will forgive a handful of bugs to its charismatic heroes, as well as the fact, that you have played the same pattern so many times, just in another scenery.

    Ubisoft Montreal managed to make Egypt not only beautiful, but extremely atmospheric. When you’re admiring the city and a mounted patrol rushes past you, you always get that urge to step aside to avoid getting trampled, even though you know you can eviscerate them all in a blink of an eye. [Issue#225, p.32]
