    I played this game after Odyssey. Some folks claim the combat here is better, it is not. It is atrocious! The story was not very engaging and the pyramids were barely even used. Far too boring to go for all the trophies. King tut is unbeatable, even on easy.

    No sé bien por donde arrancar así que empiezo por las mecánicas de juego, son muy buenas, la forma en que vas mejorando a tu personaje y a las armas está muy muy bueno.
    El mapa es enorme con un montón de cosas para hacer que lamentablemente se repiten en muchas ocasiones, inclusive las casas son las mismas.
    El juego esta lleno de misiones secundarias y terciarias, que no aportan nada a la historia y solo sirven para subir de nivel, fundamental saltarse las cinemáticas porque solo son una perdida de tiempo.
    La historia es fácilmente olvidable, es solo correcta y hasta un poco aburrida.
    La música del juego esta buena pero es súper repetitiva, ya cansa después de las 4 5 horas de juego.
    Las cinemáticas y la captura de movimiento está ok, no puedo pedirle mucho a Ubisoft pero algo que me molesta muchísimo que increíblemente se mantiene hasta el más reciente Assassin's Creed Valhalla es que el personaje corre con el cuerpo tirado para adelante, corre agachado y me molesta mucho.
    Tuve muchísimos problemas con el minimapa y el HUB, ya que los iconos son dorados y grises y son los principales colores del minimapa, me cuesta mucho verlos y no hay forma de cambiarles el color.
    Conclusión, no lo recomiendo, es un juego super repetitivo que a la larga cansa y aburre muchísimo, buscaría otras opciones dentro del género que son mucho más interesantes.    … Expand

    The story is decent and common, we know this kind of stuff from the movies and even in the books
    (Slow rendering/loading)
    There are some times that it might take a while to load/render, especially when you're with Senu and you will go back to play with Bayek, it took like 5 or 10 seconds I guess to play back with him and the loading times are just so slow. A lot of loading times also which can lead to a boring moment because you are stuck there waiting and some of the graphics are also taking time to load
    (NPC)
    NPC are dumb, not really, but some AI of the NPC are not just really that good
    (Horse auto-pilot)
    We know those feature where can hold the button to auto-pilot the horse, within that, it's also bad, it will lead to smashing other NPC's and animals, and also, those NPC's and animals, are also not that good AI's, they won't dodge or move out of the way, they wait if the horse will try to ram them and within that, that's the time they will move out of the way

    NPC's voice line audio is very bad, even if I am not near at the talking NPC, the thing is, it is still loud and I know that they have this weird reverb on them and it's very bad audio

    I do not like the RPG-styled gameplay that ubisoft added to the game. You will spend a lot of time searching for clues and items in missions and the stealth-missions is very hard because Bayek is very bad at using stealth. The story is pretty important because it is Bayek who formed the assassin brotherhood even though he is very bad at being an assassin.

    Assassins creed Origins is the least Assassins Creed game so far. RIP Assassins Creed.
    It feels like ubisoft decided to abandon what Assassins Creed is, and make an RPG Witcher clone and call it assassins creed.

RIP Assassins Creed.

Controls and combat completely changed (not for the better), grindy rpg-like foot-mounted combat with no counter-attack, and horse-mounted combat, a complete de-emphasis on stealth, no more sprint. Assassinate button doesn't always assassinate.
    And new quest system with the need to hunt out quests, 183 quests, all repetitive, shallow and boring. Escort and carry, rinse and repeat.
    And then parts feel like farcry with its controllable eagle which can tag enemies (right out of Primal), and ability to hunt wild animals, free them to attack enemies or tame them. As are the new swimming and diving mechanics.
    Quests are unbelievably repetitive and boring. Just dull, uninspired, and arbitrary, the narrative is just stretched so thinly. Ubisoft has completely ditched any fun or humor from the series.
    And the most rpg-like part, leveling up. So much leveling up. Far too much. Much more than Syndicate, and Syndicate had too much already. Instead of 10 levels, now fifty. So much griding.
    From hundreds of weapons to enemies levels (which syndicate started). Why so many? why not just a few of each weapon and upgrade them? You already have the ability to upgrade the weapons so why have hundreds of weapons? There's no point other than wanting people to spend money on buying them all. All these levels also means the option to 'assassinate' doesn't actually assassinate. When you sneak up to an enemy and see the assassinate option, if they're higher level than you, it doesn't assassinate and just takes a chunk of their health. This means they detect you, stand right back up and you have to grind away slashing them.

    Honestly, at this point they should rename the series.

    I was instantly very sad that eagle vision has changed from a togglable mode to Animus Pulses. And the new button layout means you cannot walk and use eagle eye at the same time. So you basically have to keep spamming eagle eye and you run around now. Which means both hands on the left half of the controller. They could've at least kept eagle eye on L3/R3.

    The UI design is horrible. White and yellow on a light background. I don't have color blindness and I was constantly struggling. I feel very sorry for people that struggle differentiating colors. Map indicators are just tiny. No more minimap. The subtitles were unreadable until I discovered that thankfully subtitles can have a background in the options, otherwise they'd be impossible to read.

    The game is pretty unstable, even years after release. It crashed within first 15 minutes of playing which wasn't a good sign. Crashed many times throughout the game.
    One time I got a bug where the camera would not stop locking to a fixed point across the map. I eventually, i got there and the camera would still just keep locking directly beneath me. I tried to do quests and travel the entire map to get rid of it, even fast travel wouldn't fix. I had to commit suicide to fix.

    You can manipulate time, ironic as ac started as a prince of persia game, however, time-shifting seems incredibly pointless.

    You control two characters (straight out of syndicate), but this isn't explained to you. Spent hours leveling up Bayek only to find I had to do the final levels as another character that isn't leveled up. ridiculous.

    The positives:
    Far more cinematic than Syndicate.
    Music so much better than Syndicate
    The setting and atmosphere are great and the world design beautiful.

    The most interesting part of game was when I stopped doing quests and started roaming around deserts, getting caught in sandstorms, starting to hallucinate, activating the ancient mechanisms, which were very reminiscent of classic assassins creed vaults, but ultimately felt meaningless.
    Also sometimes going back to the present day. Layla is a more interesting protagonist and ability to explore outside animus. But sadly there doesn't seem to be any mystery available there. Her story is incredibly shallow and anti-climactic.

    Just so boring, I had to stop playing for a week at a time because the gameplay and quests were just so monotonous. The world was gorgeous, I just wish the game within the world was decent.

    After playing Assassin's Creed since the original, I don't think I'll be buying an assassins creed game again.    … Expand

The music does a good job to immerse you in each situation except when you are taking down a fort.
    Now on to the bad things.... The stealth and combat is THE worst in any game i have played in this series. And i can not understand why people praise it! I usually run away from combat because its so damn boring to play. The missions are tedious and uninteresting, the story doesn't really tell you much of the "origins " of the creed until much, much, much later.
    Overall this is a disappointing for me as a Assassins creed fan. And i hope they get back to the old stealth and cool fighting moves like the old games. Unfortunately the upcoming game Odyssey has the same faults it does not look like a assassins creed game at all.
    I would say wait for a sale before getting this since its still worth getting if you are a fan.    … Expand

You HAVE to do an unreal amount of side missions to be able to progress the main story thanks to the new leveling system. You also have to keep upgrading your weapons. Even if you are a higher level, lower level weapons wont be good enough. I have tried to progress faster but its impossible. No, you are stuck doing the same side mission over and over and over and over and over and over before you can do ONE main quest. This is the MOST GRINDY AC I have ever played and its the biggest turn off. I am at level 28 but I will not be playing the end as I dont feel like spending 20 more hours running the same side quest before I can do the main.

    The combat is ok but if you are up against a heavy hitter that is a couple levels higher than you, one or two hits can mean game over. The fighting mechanics are completely different and I am not a big fan.

    Overall, the story is pretty captivating and Aya's ship missions are my favorite. But the EXTREME repetitive nature of the mandatory side missions that take ENTIRELY TOO LONG are the biggest turn off. I will not finish the game and I will have to watch gameplay footage of Odyssey before I begin to contemplate purchasing that one as well.    … Expand

    A Brief, Complex, and Honest Review--

    To be completely honest...this game is not that good at all. First of all, let me say that I am just now playing this game. A full year and a half after it was initially released...yet it is still broken. I have logged around 50 hrs so far and I have experienced 2 complete game freezes for no reason where I hard to do a hard reset of the Xbox    A Brief, Complex, and Honest Review--

    To be completely honest...this game is not that good at all.

    First of all, let me say that I am just now playing this game. A full year and a half after it was initially released...yet it is still broken. I have logged around 50 hrs so far and I have experienced 2 complete game freezes for no reason where I hard to do a hard reset of the Xbox and countless glitches/bugs, dropped frame rates, textures popping in and out, and cut scene animation/angle issues. This should not be happening at all a year and a half after the game has been released with several patches and updates having also been released since then as well. Incredibly disappointing from that aspect.

    Next, let's move on to the fact that Ubisoft has completely abandoned any attempt to have a coherent and intriguing storyline. Gone are the days of the original AC1 - Revelations games in which they actually cared about a narrative and gave us an interesting story to follow along with well-developed characters to lead said story like Desmond and Lucy. Now they have given us a very confusing, barely coherent, and loosely connected in Animus story that is just terrible, mixed in with a "what is the point of this?" modern day story line with new character Layla Hassan which, again, is terrible.

    Then there is the new combat system/style which is just...meh. It's not bad...but it's not great either. Ubisoft is just trying to capitalize on the Dark Souls-esque style of attack, dodge/block/parry, and repeat. It’s just not AC. The worst part for me was that there were several times when I would be travelling from location to location and would be attacked by a group a soldiers/rebels/bandits who would be the same level as me, and yet they wouuld would kill me almost instantly with arrows. I wouldn’t have a chance to try and engage in combat with them or pull out my bow and shoot them. They would ride up on their horses, surround me, shoot me with 4 or 5 arrows and I would be dead within a matter of seconds, no chance of escape. Very frustrating to have happen every other time you are trying to ride to a new location that you can’t fast travel to yet.

    Lastly, the time period is just terrible. When you make and promote a game to be set in ancient Egypt, then it should be set in, ya know…ancient Egypt…during the reign of the Pharaohs at the height of Egypt’s empire, dominance, and splendor. Instead what you get is a horribly bastardized Ptolemaic Greco-Roman Egypt that can’t make up it’s mind which it wants to be.

    The only positive thing to say about the game are its visuals. It looks absolutely stunning to play it on Xbox One or PS4 with a 4K tv. When it isn’t glitching or crashing on you that is…

    In closing, it truly pains me to write such a negative review of this game. I have played every game in the AC series since the first one came out when I was in high school. Some of my most fond gaming memories come from the original 4 or 5 games in the series. Sadly though, like the Egypt portrayed in this game, the height of the dominance, glory, and splendor of the AC empire has long since diminished…    … Expand

    The storyline is decent, but it's way too predictable and simple.
    The worst thing is this **** GDR system that completely destroy the spirit of the series: the combat system is awful, no way it can be adapted to Assassin's Creed. It's good for games like Dark Souls and GDR like that.

    Graphics are great but the rest is not:

    Pros: 1) The graphics team did a great job depicting Egypt (5/5) 2) That’s about it; read below if care to read Cons: 1) You can’t use the assassination blade, unlike in other games of the sequel. Which prompts the question ‘why not?’ 2) Fighting bosses and some soldiers is unfair so to speak. Once your are hit in a combo move or you are grabbed,    Graphics are great but the rest is not:

    Cons:
    1) You can’t use the assassination blade, unlike in other games of the sequel. Which prompts the question ‘why not?’

    2) Fighting bosses and some soldiers is unfair so to speak. Once your are hit in a combo move or you are grabbed, there is no escape; which makes gaming experience not enjoyable. 3) Lack of simplicity in UI;

    If you die in a gladiator fight, you have to wait until game reloads in a black background, then it takes you to the Gladiator Menu from where you will have to click on the fight again, which will load the game in the dark background again, then you have to wait the animation to pass, then manually ‘walk’ towards the gates, then wait there crowd cheer’ animation to pass and then start the fight again. It begs the question; why not make a ‘retry’ option after each death. 4) Fighting mechanics are not the greatest, after one point it becomes monotonous and you get bored easily. 5) On the horse/camel: you cannot assassinate the horsemen by jumping from your horse to theirs. It’s sad, because it used be a feature in other versions of the game. 6) You cannot sprint on foot or gallop a horse/camel, unlike in other versions. 7) ‘Follow the Road’ feature while on the horse/camel does not work sometimes. Either the game says ‘the follow road unavailable’ after some ride, or it takes you to a completely different location. Also, it has an obsession to use the ‘proper’ roads instead of taking a direct road which might be a timesaver. 8) The storyline is not clear; while playing the game I frequently asked myself ‘where does the game end?’ Sometimes you fall off the storyline, and when you come back you feel the sense of detachment from the game. 9) All in all, the game was not worth of the money and time spent on it. Wouldn’t recommend to a friend.    … Expand

    This game is broken. Even two years after release. I doubt that now I want to deal with Ubisoft Montreal.

    The game tells a pretty good story about the start of the Assassin's Brotherhood. The graphics are good, and Bayek has a good voice actor. But the game just isn't fun. The gameplay feels kind of clunky and I just don't like it. There are sometimes where it feels like the game is just long for the sake of long, you do unfun things that take forever, and it's just boring.

    Trash floaty combat with zero impact. Feels like i am wacking a dummy that feels nothing. The audio in this game is also wack. Even though i pirated the game, i didn't even bother playing after the first quest because the game is so bad. It is ridiculous how everyone's standard for game is so low in these days, praising such garbage game.

    #1 this game is too long and the level gating is so fustrating. You have to be exactly the same level with an enemy before you can kill them cuz a single arrow from an enemy that is one level higher than you kills you. That means you have to Grind for boring side missions and chores in order to play the main missions. Because Ubisoft decided that main missions will be always 2 levels#1 this game is too long and the level gating is so fustrating.

    Very boring. I don't recommend this game. Side missions are forced in order to level up and remain effective against enemies. Rinse and repeat missions are everywhere. I don't like the movement in this game. I liked AC Unity's movement system slot more. The movement in this game feels more cartoonish.

It is beautiful, offers additive gameplay combined with a stunning soundtrack and environment (makes you feel like you are in Egypt, and come on you get to enter tombs, how cool is this?!) Anyway, people... stop being unfair, but never stop to demand quality from any company you consume from. They do not deserve punishment, but sure as **** they got lots to improve!!!    … Expand

    The voice acting is terrible, not enough effort is put into the lines and audio from characters clip a lot and sound like they are directly from the studio. Very hard to immerse yourself in the cutscenes, combat itself was a downgrade from previous titles.

    Boring, uninspiring, grinding all the time just for leveling up. Side-quests are terrible. Main Story is also just rage and revenge. We have seen this type a thousand times already. Why cant you make something original??

    The Good: Amazing visuals, huge open world (with caveats, of course), attention to small details in the environment, the first time seeing a monument or city appear over the dunes is pretty good

    The game chugs in populated areas. Bird's eye view feels like an unnecessary extra step. Crafting, skills and materials feel inconsequential.

    The Ugly:
    This game is like a love child between the Witcher 3 and HZD, but it was abandoned because of being hideously deformed. AC picked it up from the side of the street. In the end the game feels like it belongs nowhere, with a bland story with weird pacing, combat which feels painfully slow and clunky compared to TW3, and RPG elements no one asked for and no one will miss if gone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you started the series with either Odyssey or Valhalla like I did, don't bother with this one. I'm not sure what everyone else is seeing but Bayek is incredibly unlikable, with little motivation. I sorry yes he has motivation at the beginning of the game where his son is killed and imediately kills the killer.He then makes a ridiculous vow to kill anyone who was in the city that day. His wife leaves and becomes a pirate and hired killer for the government. She finds out Bayek his backend continues to manipulate him into killing more people for political gain while saying it's for their son. The game forces things to happen even if it makes no sense to your gameplay. In a sauna I kill a guy with an axe and walk away, as I wear the exit an unsuitable cutscene where I try to drown the guy an I accidentally cut off my finger for no reason. Long story short, if you have not played this game before you are lucky. Odyssey and Valhalla are much better.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has decent graphics with great world design and a meh story... but the reason i rated it so low is because of several reasons. 1) the boring side quests, these really made me think twice of the reason why i even bought this game, with the game just forcing me to play several hour long side quests after every main quest, its almost as if the game didnt care about my time. 2) THE GAMEPLAY IS JUST PLAIN BORING! the gameplay makes me fell bored more than it makes me feel like an assassin… Expand

    Assassin's Creed: Origins is the best game in the series, but it's a mediocre action RPG at its core. In this sense, it both succeeds and fails at being a much-needed franchise shakeup.

    Origins is the newest installment in rather worn out series and a much appreciated and needed refresh. New combat and graphically fantastic environment with tons of content will gave you some nice moments. The game is not a blast but it is a proof that AC is back on the right track again, for now.

    With a beautiful world you'll repeatedly die for and lethal toys to play with, Assassin's Creed Origins finally delivers the game you always wanted from the series. Brilliant. [Christmas 2017, p.87]
