    I felt like the story was relatively strong; I loved the character of Bayek and felt for him and his struggle with both the death of his son and the slowly deteriorating relationship with his wife (Aya) as he fights for vengeance. However, venturing from the main quest-line leads to a lot of weak side quests (there are a few interesting ones but even a broken clock is right twice a day) and seeing as these are unavoidable it makes for frequent grinds as you level Bayek so that you may progress to the next part of the story.
    The overall narrative in the present day story is very sparse here and can almost be entirely avoided if you choose to with only a handful of moment throughout the game that don't last longer than 15 minutes at most which players who aren't here for that will appreciate. The more annoying segments are the phases where you will play as Aya, playing so many hours as Bayek leveling all his skills and aquiring the weapons and bows you wish to use makes it all the more frustrating when its all stripped away and tou have to play as someone new; I felt myself wanting them to be over and this soured the story for me and left me uninterested as these sections last quite some time nearing the end of the main quest-line.
    I played this game after Odyssey and found it a refreshingly realistic version which i found refreshing as i wasn't able to destroy hoards of enemies with a mass of superhuman abilities which made sneak more important in my play style which i came to thoroughly enjoy.
    If you haven'y yet played the game its cheap and worth a go!    … Expand

    Really boring story and characters.
    Combat was fun at first it is boring as hell after 20 hours.
    Open world is boring and side-quests are all the same.

    Good game at its core, good plot, decent voice acting and a beautiful large world to explore, Yet it has many flaws worth considering. In my opinion its a 67.5/100 which means good game Ill recommend to the open world genre fans or to the Assassin's Creed Series fans only.
    Ill analyse its Story, Storytelling, Environment and Gameplay in order to show you how I got to those conclusions:    Good game at its core, good plot, decent voice acting and a beautiful large world to explore, Yet it has many flaws worth considering. In my opinion its a 67.5/100 which means good game Ill recommend to the open world genre fans or to the Assassin's Creed Series fans only.
    Ill analyse its Story, Storytelling, Environment and Gameplay in order to show you how I got to those conclusions:
    1) Story-
    Assassin's Creed Origins plot is one of its strongest sides, though not as deep and well written as I would like it to be its still stand strong with interesting dramatic plot and well written dialogs.
    Unfortunately this apply mostly to the main plot, most of the side quests are rather dull with not much depth to it. Story Score- 8/10.
    2) Storytelling-
    This is where the game begins to crumble. Origin's world is huge yet mostly empty or filled with pointless repetitive tasks such as hunting animals or clearing a bandits camp.
    Even though, the main story cutscenes and the voice actors ability to play make the main story line very immersive and interesting throughout the game. Storytelling Score- 6/10.
    3) Environment- Graphics in this games is pretty amazing, though not the best one Iv seen on that year, its still one of greatest for its time period. Design is decent, you have magnificent temples, plenty detailed weapons and armors and important npcs look, act and behave differently, yet lots of the stuff are repetitive in a pretty lazy copy-paste kind of thing, many camps are identical, many npcs are the same and lots of the cities aren't that impressive (though there are some outstanding designing in the game in some parts). Environment score- 7/10.
    4) Gameplay-
    Mechanics of the games are basically a poor copy the Witcher's mechanic, is some ways its great, for example in the quest layout or the inventory of the character. yet in other places like combat it offers far less options in compare to The Witcher 3, therefore its getting pretty repetitive very fast. Gameplay Score- 6/10.

    Total Score- 6.75/10 or 67.5/100.
    Verdict- The game is good, for the open world fans it would be enjoyable in most moments, and there is even a decent plot so if you don't like the repetitive rpg you can always focus on main quests and still get a good Assassin's Creed game. I would recommend it to you if you like open world rpg games, or if you are a fan of the Assassin's Creed game series. It think most of the people in these fandoms wouldn't find that game a masterpiece, yet still enjoy most of it (or at lest most of the hours they put into it).    … Expand

    The only solid AC in recent years. However they straight up tried to copy Witcher 3 and Dark Souls. The single two most prolific games of the decade and Ubisoft, notorious for bugs, not finishing games, and the epitome of a shallow developer had the audacity that they could pull it off. Surprise not really. It's a good game again ruined by the fundamental design philosophy at Ubisoft

    I purchased and played the game after playing Odyssey. For whatever reason, I didn’t purchase this game on its release date, and that’s why I’ve given it a 7 as I am comparing it to Odyssey which for me is the best AC game to date. However, Origins did have a very good story line but the missions were a little dull.

    They wanted to transform assassin's creed into an rpg, and personnaly I don't think that it's a good idea, but with this game Ubisoft showed that they prefer to do empty, low quality games but with a huuuuuuuge open world that after 30 hours of gameplay I discovered at less than 40%, than to do less big maps but that are really good quality, and that are interesting to explore.

    Really overrated game. The story is boring, but the reason i could finish this game is the nice environment/open world and the gameplay/stealth/combat. But it gets repetetive really fast, so i had to take a break every 2 days before i got bored. But its an "ok" game to play, but dont expect it to be a 9 or 10. Many sidequests are also very boring, only a few are really worth it.

    Assassin's creed has a special place in my heart as I really have grown with the franchise. I was initially interested in the series by the inclusion of a middle eastern character (Al'tahir Ibn La-Ahad) and have been hooked ever since.

    I will be the first to admit that these games are average to above average with hugely copy paste content and a gameplay loop that hasn't changed since the first game. So I was curious to see how Origins has been revamped.

    The game tries to evolve with the times but it's still a Ubisoft AC game. Climb towers, kill enemies, do busywork side quests e.c.t. There is new content such as a new combat system and a eagle scout in lieu of Eagle sense. But this is a situation where Ubisoft try to please old fans and try to get new ones, but in the end, underwhelm both sides. If you don't like AC games you won't like this and vice-versa.

    The strongest aspect of the series and indeed in Origins is the visual historical tourism these games offer. Visiting the ancient city of Alexandria to gazing at the large pyramids in Giza is where Origins shines. the graphics do a large part to help with this and really make the world feel alive and beautiful.    … Expand

First things first this game takes the series in a new direction, so there are a multitude of changes.
    The combat tries to be new and fresh whilst mimicking the style of say dark souls or horizon. I don't really have a problem with the new combat except for one thing. The lack of a counter system removes the feeling of being a BA. Like in AC4 when you would wait patiently for the enemy to attack and manage to kill three people with a parry in absolute style. That's replaced with a finisher system, basically when an enemy is low on health you do a cinematic finishing blow, but it just doesn't feel as epic.
    The story is the origins of the assassins and a story of revenge. I enjoyed the plot and found it rewarding in the sense of seeing where it all began. However they have significantly reduced the modern storyline. Which in my opinion is a shame, but to fair they really didn't know where to take it after the conclusion of Desmond's story in AC3. I mean look at AC4 you're a nobody walking around Abstergo industries, who accomplishes almost nothing. I have begun to wonder if they started reducing it to appease gamers who complained about being taken out of the animus or if its really just because they just don't know what to do with it.
    I don't mind the new rpg system, but what i do mind in the fact that the game forces you to grind out side missions in order to continue the main game. I'm all for side missions but they should be something you want/choose to do, not mandatory to complete the game. Look at skyrim or fallout, those games let you choose if you do side quests and doesn't punish you for not doing them. Another thing I was trying to grind so I could finish the game and a level 35 mission would literally give me the same amount of experience as a quest ten levels underneath it. I get that ubisoft has never really made an rpg before but how tf do you make a mistake like this in the year 2017?

Sometimes the differnet camps of soldiers or questlines are very similar. You can't rush through this game because u have to grind the side quests to level up. It is annoying because if ur too underleveled, u have no chance against the enemies in stronger Locations. I don't like the forced grind in this game. The Map has many question marks on it which show u an interesting spot so you don't have to really explore by yourself which i personally don't like but its really a matter of opinion. Still the game is fun and i can definitely recommend trying it. I played it on 100% and can say it is a good game which you can definitely have fun with.… Expand

    Everything is fine. But Aya is the most boring distract ive character I have ever seen. Every time she was on the screen I wanted someone to kill that emotionless stupid **** The dialogues are meaningless. I have no ideas what a hell are they talking about. New creed comes from nowhere... That is not an origin that we want

    I'm not a big fan of the action-focused way the AC franchise took in 2017, I'm more of an **** who really enjoyed stealth and old assassins. Still, the aesthetics and Egyptian setting are crafted very well here, so it's quite fun to play it through.

    Sinceramente este juego me ha decepcionado, y no sé si es porque fue tras mucho años que no hubieron Assasinns Creed, que por eso la gente lo ama, pero yo no, es más, es el primero que no considero un Assasins Creed, porque si bien hubieron juegos malos antes, al menos mantenían la esencia. Origins ya se empieza a alejar, quizás no tanto como los posteriores, pero bueno vamos a mi reseña.Sinceramente este juego me ha decepcionado, y no sé si es porque fue tras mucho años que no hubieron Assasinns Creed, que por eso la gente lo ama, pero yo no, es más, es el primero que no considero un Assasins Creed, porque si bien hubieron juegos malos antes, al menos mantenían la esencia. Origins ya se empieza a alejar, quizás no tanto como los posteriores, pero bueno vamos a mi reseña.

    Lo bueno primero, y lo mejor que tiene son los gráficos, la ambientación, lo lindo que se ve, eso sin duda es lo mejor que tiene. Además bien optimizados, algo que por fin tras dos juegos que tuvieron fallos de rendimiento se agradece.
    La historia no está mal, decente, o sea, ni bien, ni mal.
    El sistema nuevo del águila está muy bien aunque es una copia del dron de Willdlands, pero como en uno funcionó pues aquí también.
    El sistema del coliseo muy entretenido, me lo pasé muy bien.

    Y aquí se acaba lo bueno, porque el resto es malo. Primero de todo tenemos un problema con las dimensiones de las armas, la espada se ve muy grande, o sea, es que ni es una espada pesada y se ve enorme, parece una espada medieval. La lanza cuando está en la espalda mide menos que el personaje, pero cuando la saca duplica su tamaño. O sea, no sé si soy el único, pero las dimensiones de las armas están mal proporcionadas. La única que se salva es el hacha.
    El combate dio dos pasos para atrás, un combate simple, aburrido, nada natural, los movimientos finales se repiten una y otra vez. O sea, pasamos del maravilloso combate del 3, luego bajamos un poquito con Unity, en Syndicate tuvimos algunas animaciones guapas y otras no tanto, y ahora tenemos los mismos finishers con armas que echan fuego o veneno. Venga ya ¿Qué es esto? Sé que esta saga no tiene que ser el reflejo exacto de la realidad pasada, pero...¿Espadas con fuego? El sistema de escudo vale, te defiende, pero te hace aburrido el combate.
    El mapa si bien dije que es bonito, y aún teniendo en cuenta que es un desierto, se ve vacío, o sea, hay una zona que es Black Desert en la que no hay nada, solo un paisaje de rocas espectacular, nada más. Digamos que la acción se centra en dos o tres lugares. El resto es relleno.
    El parkour tan elegante, simple y estetico que vimos en Unity y en Syndicate se marchó, volvimos al parkour de los más antiguos, además ahora parece que se puede escalar en todos lados ¿En serio? Se supone que la tecnología es más antigua, pero el personaje puede escalar mejor que Desmond que es de incluso una era futurista, venga ya hombre.
    La personalización dio otro paso atrás, en Unity había dado uno o dos hacia delante, porque por fin pudimos personalizar completamente al personaje, cabeza, torso, cintura y piernas, pero aquí volvimos a los trajes que solo cambian por tener un color diferente. Encima hay unos que ganas en la arena del coliseo, y cuando te fijas te das cuenta de que en realidad es el mismo traje con distinto color, descarado. Muy decepcionado por esta parte.
    La historia del presente aburrida como siempre, eso no cambia. Menos mal que siempre me ha importado poco y que no tiene tanto protagonismo como en los tiempos de Desmond.
    Y ya por último, el doblaje de Cleopatra en español es malísimo

    En fin, a la gente le encantó este juego, a mi sinceramente me decepcionó. Encima ya no podemos ver más al Imperio Romano.    … Expand

    Good game, bad assassin's creed game. 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.

    Pros
    - massive open world that can be explored before engaging with the story
    - the story is kept personal until the end - beautiful vistas Cons - Assassin's Creed game where pressing the assassination button takes five percent of health from a sleeping enemy that you stab in the neck….. lmao ok - the upgrade system is clearly heavily slanted towards being annoying when it comes to    Pros

    Cons
    - Assassin's Creed game where pressing the assassination button takes five percent of health from a sleeping enemy that you stab in the neck….. lmao ok
    - the upgrade system is clearly heavily slanted towards being annoying when it comes to farming for materials, as it was this game that introduced Time Saver microtransactions into the franchise
    - the side quests are as generic as they come
    - the combat is a shakeup to the franchise, but spending two minutes hacking away on sponge enemies is beyond annoying
    - Layla is a boring cardboard cutout that does not carry the modern day stuff at all

    For years the series got dogpiled on for not changing its mechanics in any significant way. I unfortunately got the Ubisoft brain damage early in life so I enjoyed the mediocre yearly releases while making fun of FIFA players for enjoying their yearly copy and pasted releases.

    Assassin's Creed Origin is the game that decided to change that story, and they succeeded. What I mean is they succeeded in changing stuff but they utterly failed in capturing what made the series loved and fun to play.

    Starting with the good stuff, the story is actually a solid revenge plot against a faceless organization. Bayek and Aya feel real and both of them carry you through the story of their revenge up until the founding of the brotherhood.

    The world is massive and allows for early exploration, letting you knock out most of the map in the early game. Some of the vistas are breathtaking, like the pyramids in Giza and the various temples you visit.

    Now the bad. In a series called Assassin's Creed how do you mess up the ASSASSINATION mechanic. The level system makes it so that if you walk into an area that has enemies with higher levels than you, trying to assassinate them does like five percent of their health. You could stab them out of stealth, use your hidden blade to stab them in the neck four times, and they still get hit for five percent health. The level based assassination sucks.

    The combat went from showing off the skill of the assassins in allowing you to take on hordes of enemies, to now where you are forced to take a nap as you hack away at health sponges. Wow, you changed stuff, but is it for the better?

    Ubisoft was never shy about scummy microtransactions, as anybody who played ACII on release had to deal with the Sequence 12, 13 scumbaggery. This game's upgrade system was designed banking on your frustration, where you buy Ubisoft's ''generous'' Time Saver microtransactions, giving you the materials needed so you don't need to farm them.

    Origins is the least bad game in the modern trilogy yet that is not saying much as it does not reach even the worst of the old style games.    … Expand

    I'ts not the best AC, as far as is much better than Syndicate. There is a big change of graphics. The game has been remarked by the nature and the scenes. It seems to play in the real life. The plot is remembered because they explain the begginings of the creed but it's not special. Perhaps as the others AC, parkour is the best aspects of the game.

    It is really more like Witcher 3 game than Assassin's Creed, still enjoyable. The plot was okay, the gameplay was okay. The atmosphere of Egypt was very good

    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]
