    Last AC game I played. They tried to change the formula which I can appreciate (AC franchise was getting boring with the Syndicate) but I just don't think AC should be so "Witcher-like". The story, characters and settings were amazing but after finishing it I just felt like I'm done with the IP.

    As an RPG game is good, I think it's pretty fun.
    But as an Assassin's Creed game, it's terrible.

    It had some issues, bugs etc, but overly i liked it. I would rather to have the abillity to replay missions and it was difficult to collect all the weapons and outfits.

    Un sólido 7, tiene un combate más que decente aunque frustrante cuando te rodean. El RPG no está mal pero puede ser mejor implementado. La historia arranca con fuerza decae a mitad del juego para cerrar de una manera digna. su principal punto debil es las secundarias a veces repetitivas. Es buen juego pero le faltó pulir varias cosas.

    A solid 7, has a decent combat that sometimes can be frustrating. The RPG is ok, however this could be improved. Then the story starts very striking, then falls to a boring part until the end which is ok. The main weak point are the secondary missions which are repetitive. The game is good but it has to improve some aspects.    … Expand

    Gameplay is very good, same story.
    But there is a lot of bugs.
    Game lost her efficiency after u turn on ubisoft launcher
    There is tip that u can change some rules in games by the animus control panel, but there is now control panel after they change in-game launcher to new one.

    Основные квесты не очень интересны - на сына вообще по барабану. Дополнительные квесты средненькие. Непонятен мир игры - есть ли мифические вещи или это наше прошлое без магии.
    Позалипать на вопросики - пойдёт.

    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.

    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

    10 out of 10 as a historical virtual tour, but for a game don't waste your precious lifetime on this like I did. There are definitively better games out there, I'm certain there are.

    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.

    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

    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.
