    Un juego fácilmente olvidable

    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 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

    I did the main story and most of the side missions in around 65 hours on hard difficulty. I had a great time. The graphics are wonderful, the mechanics are really well-done (there is a huge improvement for the combat) and the story has great depth.

    This game can be compared to the Witcher 3 in term of overall quality but lacks a little something to give it a 10/10 (like I did for TW3).

    However, the game still has a few cons:

    1. The economy in the game is not really relevant
    2. The loot system could have been improved
    3. There are a few glitches
    4. Some parts of the open world are not enough developed or used in the main campaign

    AC Origins is a 9,3/10 game in my opinion and is massively underrated. I don't see how people prefered Metal Gear Solid V than that ! I strongly recommend this game. To fully take advantage of the game and its mechanics, please use the hard difficulty (especially if you played other AC games before) and do a lot of side missions to be sure your level is a bit over the recommended level.

    I also recommend to wait before trying AC Odyssey or Valhalla after finishing this game as you may get burned out. I will wait at least 6 months before starting AC Odyssey. Those are big and amazing games and it requires some rest between them :)    … 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

    There are no tactics, there is no stealth. You just have to put on better armor and hit the enemy in a slasher manner.

    It's a bad slasher game because it's not epic as great slasher should be. It's a bad Assassin's Creed game because it's not Assassin's Creed game.    … Expand

Combat is good, graphics are good, gameplay is good. AI is average. Main Story is immersive. Side quest are very good, the worşd is living.

    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. 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

    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.

    Easily my favorite Assassin's Creed game (although I have not yet played Valhalla). I loved the new combat style, and I found the storytelling and characters much more interesting than in Odyssey. The environments and landmarks are breathtaking and fun to explore. The open-world features and side quests are somewhat fatiguing, but the main storyline more than made up for it.

    A pleasant surprise. Unlike Odyssey, I enjoyed this game a whole lot. The personal side of Bayek, the origins of the Creed, the enormous beauty of Egypt, the egyptian mythology and history create a beautiful setting. The only downside is to feel, with Origins/Odyssey, the loss of what a classic and true Assassin's Creed game is.

    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

    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.

Al escuchar este título sabemos que estamos ante los orígenes de la hermandad. Tras ver precipitados fracasos en las anteriores entregas, Ubisoft nos trajo en 2017 un título con trabajo y empeño detrás de él. Tenemos que admitir que hay muchas mejoras, como por ejemplo un increíble mapa enorme y detallado (por desgracia demasiado grande), una ambientación deseada por mucha gente, como es el Egipto Ptolemaico, unos personajes (tanto principales como secundarios) detallados y con personalidad y una historia ambiciosa.
    Lo cierto es que aunque hubo cambios para bien también hubo algunos detalles desacertados. Así son por ejemplo, el sistema de "parkour", que en esta entrega se ve muy empobrecido y rudimentaio respecto a Unity o Syndicate. Otro punto negativo es el tamaño del mapa, el cual es gigantesco y hay ciertas zonas las cuales están totalmente "muertas", no existen actividades o localizaciones y esto resta valor a otras zonas del mapa muy elaboradas (Alejandría por ejemplo).
    En cuanto a Bayek, que podemos decir. Es un personaje estelar, cuidado en su aspecto y en su personalidad. Aya, por otra parte parece un personaje muy interesante pero que por desgracia no realiza un papel grande en la historia.
    Cleopatra por otro lado, es el personaje más insinuante, exótico y al mismo tiempo peor representado históricamente. Su papel es mezquino, su imagen es perversa, muy diferente a la Cleopatra real, una mujer políglota que unió al pueblo egipcio y logró defender su reino de las manos romanas.
    Después tenemos la narrativa principal. Una historia que comienza con una intensidad increíble pero que se hace muy larga y al final aburrida. Soy fan de la saga desde hace muchos y años y he de decir que es la única vez que al jugar una entrega, en algunos momentos perdí el interés por la historia, cargada de misiones repetitivas que empobrecían la trama principal. Además, la incorporación de un sistema de niveles tan alto obligaba a jugar algunas misiones secundarias con muy poco gusto realizadas.
    En conclusión, es una entrega renovadora de la saga, incluye un nuevo sistema de combate muy convincente, nuevas animaciones y una ambientación muy original y bien realizada. Pero al mismo tiempo empeora con una historia y mapas demasiado extensos.    … Expand

    A fine Assassin's Creed game that I was happy to play once but likely won't revisit. The world as it was built was super fun, but eventually things began to feel repetitive.

    Honestly this is a masterpiece, idk why the ac's purists are hating this game so bad. I mean ok Odyssey was the worst ac but this one is great. Play it before you strat to follow the stupidity of the "fans".

    The gameplay and the story are great with lots to do after completing the main story. The game is not to grinding unlike odessey and the side content doesnt have much depth to it but still decent side mission to do after finishing the game

    First off, this game looks amazing. The world is huge and has so many regions to explore. The downside for me was the story as it just didn't interest me. This game also suffers in the same way most AC games do, which is just being repetitive. The missions are mostly the same, go here and this, go here and kill that person, go and kill the commander of fort herp derp. Overall it was fun,First off, this game looks amazing.

    The game feels like it suffers from -too- many things to do. The world is overly blown up to do many small meaningless things. Whomever was the UI designer clearly wanted people to go blind by placing white and light gold markers on sand coloured tilesets. Please tell me what the purpose of icons on a map are if you can never see them.

    The combat potential has so many things you can do. In terms of stealth, brawling, luring enemies, traps, fires, etc. Unfortunately, most of it is never made use of. That being said, the previous track record of trying to make use of them was not very fun and felt like using my brain too much compared to any other point in the game where I can turn it off and mindlessly check off completion boxes.

    The story has a couple good parts but the majority is forgettable with characters I still cannot tell who is who. The side quests are somewhat interesting, but generally not so much,. The main character Bayek is someone I felt I grew to understand, whereas I grew apart from Aya, the second PC character. In the end I felt she stole the spotlight from the character I put 60 hours into. Even if her character was more fleshed out and written I don't think that would improve anything since in general she seems to be a bland archetype who keeps playing missions I don't enjoy.
    Then there's the RL story in the game which doesn't make sense. You're about to be killed so you equivocally lay down and sleep and wait for it. What kind of lame assassin does that. Cut to the end game and you are able to leave to somewhere else so what do you do? You just again... lay down and sleep. It doesn't make sense and it's disjointed.
    Those mechanisms in-game where you hear people talking about the future or time travel take eons to finish speaking. It's like their instructions were to speak as humanly possibly and they lock the character to the radius around the mechanism so you can't run away. It's so slow I managed to lose concentration on what they're even talking about.

    Then there's the combat and climbing. The general movement of the game suffers from a noticeable input lag. Causing for a lot of delayed responses. There are a lot of times where I will be standing around on a small step and not want to be. Sometimes I'll randomly jump off to the side when climbing and die. There's times where I will auto target the wrong enemy when attacking because it's based on enemy proximity and not where I'm trying to attack. There's many things that add up to an experience overall feels unclean.

    There are SO. MANY. moments in the game where it feels cringy to watch. Like the internet's anime memelord thought of some of the coolest moments from their favourite anime and decided that assassin's and the main character should be able to do some of these things for no reason or context other than it was cool in their favourite anime. Watching it made me think that the assassin's are lame.

    The entire game seems like a payoff for the last 3 minute cutscene and spoilers, but your character doesn't really matter. There's no sense of validation whatsoever. Kind of related but I feel like there were some major feminists on the writing and quest design teams.    … Expand

    This game has a fantastically realized open world, a good storyline with great characters, and consistently enjoyable gameplay mechanics. It's a bold departure from the typical Assassins Creed format and is a breath of fresh air for the series. One of my all time favorite games.

    Сюжет в стиле "ты убил члена моей семь и я убью тебя". В плане побочных квестов очень сыро. Графика радует, особенно проработка воды)

    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]
