    This game is definitely not better than Odyssey or Valhalla. It's a very boring and repetitive game with an incredibly boring main character. It's one of those games that I can't get into and can't play, even though I've been trying for years.

    The story was predictable but okay. I enjoyed it, it was mild entertainment.

    The levelling system however is a whole different issue, which prevents me from giving this game a positive score. Story missions reward you with way too little XP, so you basically have to do side missions. And they are the most boring things you will ever play. They consist of item fetching from the other side of the map, killing five people etc etc. Repetative stuff.

    Overall, I think you should check this game out if you got nothing better to play. It is enjoyable.    … Expand

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

    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.

    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

    This is not even an Assassin's Creed. It's just lazy Witcher 3 clone but worse in every possible way. Compared to the previous AC games Origins have worse gameplay, worse parkour, worse clunky combat and worse story. And game runs terrible on PC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed Origins, oh boy, the game that made me really confused on whether I love it or dislike it, so let's begin.
    Origins is the first RPG Instalment in the AC Franchise, and the game goes on to prove that post 2015, Ubisoft lost its way completely (Except for the rare gem known as Far Cry 5), Ubisoft still proves that although it has some fresh and unique elements, the crafting phase is where they fail often, let's elaborate, Assassin's Creed is NOT FIT for an RPG game, especially with its story progression and narrative, As a huge fan I really felt sad for origins, it had quite some potential and I can't touch the story because it was one of the best stories we've seen ever Since 2, Black Flag and Rogue, but the RPG component slams the game to the ground, and what made it worse is the entire Mythology that was injected in, I hate to be that guy to say it but I will, we moved from a game that revoked the crossbow for the sake of historical accuracy, to a game where we fight Anubis on a flaming Horse and fight with a sword from Final Fantasy XV, I may excuse the flaming horse and say it's cosmetic and was altered by the Animus like the entire Outfit element in Black flag and Rogue, and the Final Fantasy one and say it's not canon although I Can't figure a way to play that around, but in no way shall I excuse the Isu taking Avatars that are Ancient gods and slowly taking the narrative towards magic rather than "We simply came before" thing were the only abnormality was the ISU and their existence that shaped the lore of the franchise that's being broken right now, I wouldn't mind this game specifically under another title, but as an Assassin's Creed game, especially one about the roots of the creed, it succeeded yet destroyed its success with their foolishness.
    Now we move to the graphics, and I got to say it is indeed one of the best I've seen relatively to the 2016 era, it looks magnificent and I can't really diss that at all.
    The gameplay, and oh boy, the fighting mechanics will be kept out considering they went RPG, which honestly for an RPG game the fighting mechanics are amazing, the progression is simple, entertaining and rewarding, but my issue stands at the parkour, why in the heck would you abandon Unity's parkour and use some Spider-Man bullsh!t that can climb smooth surfaces, impossible mountains yet fails at climbing a relatively easy Pyramid, wow, if you're gonna suck at least do it well.
    In the end, let me put it this way, AC: Origins is amazing, and has potential, but Ubisoft really screwed up with three things, Clunky Parkour, Bullsh!t Mythology and Fantasy, and finally a completely unfitting theme and genre.
    The game takes a solid 7 thanks to the graphics, gameplay (minus the parkour) and story (Excluding any mythology, the story of Bayek is one of my favourites in the series and makes him my 4th most beloved Assassin), and as much as for the inconvenience I've found, I can still recommend it to you, as long as you ignore the entire bs I mentioned above.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed: Origins is the tenth installment in the famous action RPG game series. The game was released in 2017 and bring some significant changes to both story and gameplay.

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

    You can really tell they were new to the whole "rpg elements" thing with this release. Unlike Odyssey, the side quests were so bland that after a while I just stopped doing them and sped through the main quest. It also felt like there was a lot less progression via the skill tree than there was in odyssey.    Finally got around to playing this ages after playing Odyssey AND Valhalla.

    However, the combat was actually somewhat more enjoyable, for one reason: There was no skill that let you assassinate out of stealth like odyssey. Once you got that, it was just run around in circles and wait for it to recharge before finishing up whatever boss mob you were dealing with.

    AC Origins is the second AC game I have played after AC Black Flag: gameplay, graphics and story are really great. 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". This is typical for RPGs with a very big amount of quests.

    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.
