    The story in AC Origins is entirely dull, the side-quest writing is entirely abysmal. The writing in this game is like it was done by a lame 10 year-old. And the NPC voice-acting is atrocious. The only way to possibly enjoy AC Origins is to skip all of the dialog because it's that bad.

    There seems to be 1 person doing all of the non-mainstory male voice-overs, and 1 person doing all of the female VOs. The person who does all the non-mainquest NPC male voice-overs can't control their French accent, and so the voices are clearly a person with a French accent attempting an Egyptian accent, but doing a poor job of it.

    The combat in Origins is supremely boring. There is nothing inspired about the writing, characters, combat... OC: Origins is generic action-adventure game #3586.

    Nearly everything that made the AC games exciting and interesting is gone in Origins, and Origins doesn't replace those elements with anything appreciable. Origins is a hollow shell of a game and a betrayal of what the series used to be, and it is a complete waste of an origins story. Enough with these garbage filler games: Origins, Odyssey, and even (though not as bad) Syndicate and Unity. We need Assassin's Creed to come back. This series has fallen so very low into sub-mediocrity that everything after AC4 is going to have to be retconned to save it.    … Expand

    How can such an amazing concept go so bad. Assassin's Creed are only getting worse. Bland, bland, bland. Repetitive missions. Combat getting worse and worse.
    The level system is so terrible. The story is so meaningless. The characters so unlovable...
    No redemption it seems.

    This is a (mostly)brilliant open-world game that I played after AC Oddysey. Oddysey is better in every possible way except for the story. Some of the boss fights in this game are painful crap e.g., Gamilat. Making you play through some of the missions with Aya who you can't equip or spec with skill points is also crap. The archers use rail guns and juke back and forth    Solidly meh.

    Entediante.

    Ainda tento descobrir qual o objetivo de Ubisoft com esse jogo. Um RPG que tem uma historia fraca, sem profundidade, com personagens sem carisma e motivações simplistas. As SideQuests, assim como as missões principais, são repetitivas e sem criatividade. Os gráficos são medíocres - mesmo a noite, a física é padrão ubisoft e o jogo é mal otimizado - como de costume,    Entediante.

    A gameplay é muito simples, e isso não é um problema a principio. Acontece que aqui não é satisfatório lutar. Você sente que está batendo num boneco, fora as animações de execução capadas para diminuir a faixa etária do jogo.

    Mudar a mecânica do jogo para atrair fans de outros gêneros não foi uma ideia boa, principalmente porque não foi bem aplicada.    … Expand

    As a fan since the first game, this is not an assassin game. Stealth and planning is foregone for a lite version of your run-of-the-mill third person action RGP battle-mechanics. If I wanted a poor version of The Witcher III or Horizon, I'd play those games instead.

    Instead of assassinations it relies heavily on damage spongy boss battles, which are a chore to grind down. Despite having some of the most shallow mechanics in the genre, it also manages to have some of the clunkiest, least intuitive controls. For example: to change weapons in a fight, you literally have to let go in the movement stick making you an easy target for your enemy.

    The world is beautiful, but lacks interactivity the verticality of older titles afforded it. It's pretty but mostly just backdrop rather than a gameplay element. The game is grindy, forcing you to level up on trash mobs and super bare-bones side quests to meet main quest level requirements. The setting is enjoyable but the characters and story are rather dry and generic.

    I feel the game really is a step back in every respect from the older games, even combat. For me, this kills off the Assassin's Creed franchise. I come to this franchise for variety, not more of the same but worse.

    (Also, this game has Denuvo, the most anti-consumer garbage DRM out there which tanks performance and load times. It's been verified to introduce a ton of stuttering. In other words, those that pirate it have the better experience.)    … Expand

    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.
    That's it !

    The gameplay loop is kind of fun, though it's awfully superficial and repetitive. There's too much on the map, including totally unnecessary repeatable quests. The mediocre gameplay systems might be enough to carry a great story, but the story is the worst aspect of the game. It's incomprehensible, the dialogue is generally awful, and I don't care in the slightest about what's going on.The gameplay loop is kind of fun, though it's awfully superficial and repetitive.

It's a shame because there is a lot of inherent mystery and adventure in the setting of ancient Egypt, but it's not taken advantage of in the slightest. It feels like a generic revenge story that could be told in any setting and in any era.… Expand

    Both the open world and the combat system have seen massive improvements over previous titles. The story keeps you interested most of the time. I'm personally stoked for Odyssey, but that's mainly because I take a deep interest in ancient Greece.

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've pretty much missed out on the AC games but this one really caught my eye and I'm glad it did! The game runs great (seriously, all maxed and never under 70fps, usually above 100, 1080gtx w/6700@4.5, 27" gsync 1080p), the environments look stunning, and there are tons of fun things to do and explore.

    * Unique designs of each viewpoint
    * Boat travel animations
    * You get XP points for everything you do
    * Ability to toggle Bayek's hood on and off
    * Aya's rendering was very detailed and life-like, (not to mention pretty)
    * Papyrus puzzles were very enjoyable
    * Details of NPC animation activities such as pulling blocks for buildings, etc
    * Horse mechanics allowing a companion on your horse with you
    * Nice work with the lighting / sunsets
    * The sandstorms are well-done, adds immersion
    * For the berzerk sting - I love that they re-used the exact sound from AC2's poison blade (AC2 is still the best in the series)
    * I enjoyed the presence of William Miles in the present day story
    * Enjoyed the story overall - very good ending to the game culminating in the beginning of the Assassin Order and the Assassin's Creed

    Cons:

    * No SLI Support (this alone will always mean I won't buy the game until I can get it for next to nothing)
    * Poor combat system. Significant downgrade from most previous AC games. The new hitbox system is absolutely terrible. I miss the AC3 / 4 / Rogue combat system terribly.
    * Awful performance and it's not because of GPU limitation (I'm running (2) 1080 Ti Cards) - anytime I walk into a city area my CPU & GPU is only being used around 60-70% but there's hitching galore which indicates problems with the game engine / poor optimization of it. (I also suspect the multiple forms of DRM in the game are contributing to this). Ultimately this makes the game feel like I'm playing an alpha build of it...the performance is so terrible inside the cities that you can't even appreciate the effort that went into the detail of the world.
    * Controller UI for tool selection - was much easier in previous games.
    * DRM - Both Denuvo & VMProtect in the game which directly impact performance and do not prevent piracy.
    * Limited kill animations - I really miss the multifinishers / animation system. Not sure why they moved to a hitbox combat system - likely because they were essentially trying to copy Witcher 3 when they made this game instead of attempting to innovate while also adding good ideas from other developers (and let me clue you in here Ubisoft - the combat in Witcher 2 and 3 was the lowpoint of those games - their mature story and worldbuilding / character development were what set them apart.) Going from the enjoyable animation style combat in AC3 / 4 / Rogue and even Syndicate to a hitbox combat system is a significant downgrade. Ubisoft is so afraid to try something new and innovate that it limits them significantly. This is why their games are always going to be a B-TEAM level experience when compared to a developer like CD Projekt Red.
    * Lack of an information database
    * Poor story explanation of your targets & people - they don't really tell you who these people are or what they specifically had to do with the backstory, etc. You don't know who they are in the Egyptian gov't, etc. It's just very lacking in details.
    * Some unnecessary SJW gender-politics in the game - Ubisoft has been getting more into the gender politics BS of late. They have a couple missions where it's made very clear the entire point of the missions is to convince the player that "girls can do everything boys can", lol. There's too much of this crap in movies and games today.
    * Inconstency in the present day story - for example when Bayek sees the information from the ancient mechanisms - he doesn't react. Ezio saw things in AC2 and had a reasonable reaction to it - so that was weird.
    * Poor present-day story
    * I miss the old voice actor for William Miles from AC3 - this new guy has a flat delivery.
    * Fight with Septimius - tough to take seriously having Aya fight a dude who is 3-4x her size and better equipped. This was just more of the SJW / feminist silliness in this game's plot
    * When showing Brutus toward the end of the base game, they should have had him wearing his "Brutus Armor" from AC Brotherhood
    * A LOT of filler-content. Most locations on the map are just filler content - it's pretty, but there's so many locations that have loot / guardposts that you just have to find the treasure and kill some random target for no apparent reason that it becomes tedious, especially since there's no real reason to go in there and kill or rob these people to begin with. Literally this type of content took the game from about a standard 50-hour run to about a 100-hour run which is just artificially making the game longer with tedious side content. I'd prefer solid story / campaign content or side missions that tie in with the main story, etc. instead of collectibles

    If it wasn't for the graphics problems and a few bad bugs the game would get a 10 out of 10 from me. It seems to me they are trying to follow witcher 3's format and they added some rpg elements to assassin's creed. I like the direction the series is going in.

    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]
