    As beautiful as it is deadly, Origins’ Egyptian playground is finally everything you wanted the Creed to be.

    This is the best game in the Assassin’s Creed series. That extra year of development time has really helped Ubisoft find its creative centre again, and craft something that feels both fresh and energised. I could take or leave the shifts in gameplay to make this more like the loot-grind RPG-likes that dominate blockbuster game development now, but when Ubisoft is playing so beautifully within a fascinating period of history, all I care about is how utterly engrossed I am with the storytelling.

    Assassin's Creed Origins is a triumph, taking the series back to the beginning and allowing players to partake in the genesis of the war between the Templars and the Brotherhood of Assassins.

    Origins is a great game that relies heavily on its setting to make an impact on the player. Its gameplay also evolves, and although it still has some of the issues the series have been suffering in the last few entries, it’s definitely a step in the right direction. If you’ve ever been interested in the series, don’t miss this one.

    Assassin's Creed Origins has vastly improved combat and an astoundingly beautiful world to explore, but it felt a little afraid of going all in with its new direction.

    After taking a year off, Assassin's Creed is going through a transitional period and taking players back to the very founding of the Brotherhood in Ancient Egypt is symbolic of that. The vast new setting, the improved combat system and moving the series towards being a real action RPG have injected this series with a new life.

    Assassin’s Creed: Origins offers an engrossing and deeply satisfying open world in the lands of Egypt. Gorgeous visuals make it a lovely place to explore with rich environments. Still, the excessive amount of bugs at launch are devastating and hampered my experience significantly. Add to that a poorly paced narrative devoid of substantial character development and a battle system that fails to meet its full potential and I can't help but feel something important is missing, Regardless, Assassin's Creed: Origins has a lot to offer new and old fans alike - though the state of its technical performance at launch is highly questionable.

    Played for a couple hours I have no issues at all, everything runs smooth for me and the game has not crashed.

    Visuals are amazing, I love    Played for a couple hours I have no issues at all, everything runs smooth for me and the game has not crashed.

    Visuals are amazing, I love that you get flashback missions not just cutscenes when something big happens like killing a high-rank enemy, giving you a backstory to the point of why your taking down this high rank masked one etc. the map is quite big bigger than any AC universe and if you wanna 100% this game then it will take you some time.

    Struggling a little with combat I'm so used to countering then killing like all the other AC games if you think the combat is simple compared to the other games your in for a little surprise!

    YES! there is a Helix credit system, so for people who don't have time to grind can buy in-game currency to spend and some weapons can be unlocked via Uplay credits which are free to earn via your Uplay account anyway. I personally don't buy in-game content at all and only believe that if micro-transactions are on multiplayer games it is unfair.... for single player games the only things you buy with your real money for in-game currency..... if you even want to buy them only affects your personal experience for campaign, not like GTA Online, Battlefield, Battlefront 1 & 2 Loot Packs etc etc so for single player content i don't mind but I personally don't buy content from any game I play!

    Apart from that 10/10 definately an upgrade for syndicate and the bugged monster Unity!

    Would recommend.    … Expand

    Today morning I couldn’t decide what game should I buy - I had two options - Assassin or Wolfeinstein. Because a lot of open world adventuresToday morning I couldn’t decide what game should I buy - I had two options - Assassin or Wolfeinstein. Because a lot of open world adventures with 50+ hours to finish, I was slightly more tended to new Wolf, but in the end, when I showed up in the gameshop, In the end I chose this one...now I know my decision was right. This game is like a fresh wind in the series, one year break really helped here. There are a lot of changes compared to the sequels. So far, now I have about 5 hours behind and I’m enjoying this like no other similar game this year, especially when I compare this game with recently released Shadow of War, which was imho quite big disappointment. The graphics are amazing (PS4 Pro), gameplay is smooth and immersive, combat feels like "souls games" - of course a bit simplified. The story is classical revenge motivated cliche, but in games like this it really does not matter. Also loot system is very satisfying and motivating. There is only one thing I could criticize - framedrops in prologue. Overall I must recommend this game to any player, who likes action adventures. This are my first feelings after about 5 hours, so it’s of course possible to change opinion and score after few dozens more.… Expand

Combat is mechanically decent but needs more of an impactful feeling and enemies aren't to distinct from one another so you don't approach them all that differently. Has quiet a good skill tree. Like the exploration and some side content like the papyruses and bosses. The story is lack luster. Since its a Ubisoft game its has pretty boring side missions and alot of them as well as microtransactions but you can easily ignore them. Its a bad AC game since it doesnt have a map built with constant parkour and stealth in mind.… Expand

    Is not a bad game but is far from the good old days from this franchise. Ubisoft created a really nice open world but is almost empty. TheIs not a bad game but is far from the good old days from this franchise. Ubisoft created a really nice open world but is almost empty. The controls are at least more responsive than previous games but the combat feels too automatic.
    The Story is not very good, and the last third of the campaign switches so many times of villains that
    hurts the main story.
    Dont you even dare to compare this game with what CD Projekt has accomplished,it is blasphemy!!!    … Expand
