The only way to experience ancient Egypt any better is to invent a time machine!
    The main quests are excellent and varied, as are the myriad of side quests, which give you the opportunity to explore the huge maps (ive got the addon The Curse of the Pharaohs!) and admire the huge amount of dedication and effort to bring this amazing game to the world. I could go on and on about the levelling up system (some hate..me too at one point!), or the many other options available to the player, but suffice to say it is very well balanced and encourages you to find ways to improve your equipment, skills and stats.
    I have been playing pc games since my first PC..a Pentium P60 complete with a full 8meg of system ram..wow! Awesome back in the day. Now am still playing pc games, and ASSASSIN'S CREED ORIGINS is without a doubt the finest game ive ever played, with the finest graphics, and atmospherics in any game. Red dead redemption is a close 2nd...as is AC Odyssey. But Origins is the just sublime, its the finest experience ive ever had. I run it in 4k, on a i9-10900k with 64gb ram and a RTX 3090, all displayed in 4k on a 48in LG Oled with 120hz 2.1 HDM cable, so yes am fortunate to have a good setup...it runs around 80-90fps with everything on ultra at 100 resolution setting..With my headphones at night, Its the finest game experience ever! 11 out of 10! And well done to the developers and programmers and everyone involved in its creation    … Expand

    Had zero issues with this after 30+ hours of gameplay. Easily the most accessible AC title in the series. Graphics look amazing on my i7700k with a GTX1080Ti and I've never had a single crash. Rarely get a little choppy cut scene but nothing that bothers me.

    Best game of the series. Best combat, world, quests, and 9/10 story.

    Silky smooth on my 5930k and 1080Ti, 1440p, Ultra High. Don't get it if you have a toaster.

    9/10 but Pirate-proof makes it a solid 10 out of 10.

    29 hours in and loving it. Never been a huge fan of the AC series, especially the modern-day portions. I really enjoyed Black Flag, and I am enjoying this at least as much. Great setting, great voice acting, great graphics, great mechanics, and fun, rewarding gameplay.

    The best Assassin's Creed game I've played so far. I'm playing it on an Nvidia GTX 950 and an i5-4690 CPU and everything is very smooth on High settings. The game looks gorgeous and the open world is really huge and believable.

But that doesn't mean there's not a lot to do here. There's still a ton of stuff to do here but it all feels meaningful, a little bit like the Witcher 3. Apart from that, ancient Egypt is really stunning and exploring this beautiful world is actually rewarding. Combat is the best in the series and leveling up, whatever the game, is always fun and addicting.

    Overall, it's a great game, the developers were really passionate about making this, and the game reflects their passion and commitment.    … Expand

From fertile flood plain farms, to swampy Nile deltas, to rocky canyons, to sprawling ancient cities, to sandy dunes stretching as far as the eye can see.. this game is beautiful. The art and attention to detail is simply stunning. When I climbed over the dunes and witness the Great Pyramids for the first time will be one of those gaming moments I will never forget. Nor will I forget the first time I enter one of these structures and start exploring the tombs within. It's fitting that they added a camera to share these breathtaking views with fellow gamers. I have a windows folder filled with dozens of pictures that I set to my Windows background wallpaper.
    The animation and combat is as fluid as ever and the RPG elements are a welcome add-on to the franchise. You can even level up your weapons with your character so that old weapons never become obsolete. There are about 7 classes of melee weapons and each has it's uses so you might want to hold onto at least one of each to switch back and forth during combat. Surprisingly, there are 4 classes of bows that have their own play styles and uses. My favorite was the sniping Predator bow, as I got a legendary version fairly early in the game. Because of this I played a more classic Assassin's Creed play style with stealth and take downs instead of straight up combat. You still can't slack in the combat department in your skill trees because close quarters combat is necessary in some missions and the main quest.
    After 60 hours of game play I only encountered 2 crashes and a couple physics-based glitches. Otherwise the game is remarkably stable for such a massive open world game. Frame-rate gets weirdly low in cut scenes and facial animations are off but the few negatives are far outweighed by the overwhelming positives for this game.
    Notice how nearly all of the negative reviews mention DRM. Salty kids upset that, so far, they can't pirate the game. Too bad people don't review actual gameplay anymore, it's all gamer politics.
    Yes, I'm a real person not an Ubi plant as I have done dozens of reviews over the years.

    Nothing short of Awesome. Visuals are great. Combat is the strongest aspect in my opinion. I have played many assassins creed games and after syndicate, i felt that assassins creed felt too familiar and kinda boring. This game reinvents much in a way that keeps the feeling but is new altogether.

    A lot of things are copy-paste from Witcher 3 which in books is a wonderful thing. My favorite thing they copied is the ability to highlights objects of interest. Collecting items became so much more enjoyable. The setting is mesmerizing. Finally, I feel that I got my money's worth when I bought this assassin's creed. I played only 6 hours so far, all 6 hours were in the first location of the game. Still, have two missions before it will 100% complete. Sub Quests are satisfying to complete and do not feel like a chore.

    Towers are no longer a chore as well but a tool to upgrade your falcon, I love Senu - the best addition to the franchise.    … Expand

On hard difficulty, the AI is actually somewhat formidable and creates formidable challenges. Finally, in my opinion, the main character, Bayek challenges Ezio as one of the best assassins in the series. His inner drive for revenge and justice for Egypt makes his character deep and makes room for development over the course of the game.

    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.
