    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

    One of the most beautiful game ever played. It's boring first hours but it's get better with time. The game is beautiful. Got a lot of beautiful landscapes. 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. At leaat the game teaches history or makes you wonder about history. You should gave it a chance.

    Assassins creed Origins is the least Assassins Creed game so far. 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

    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.

    On the negative side, Aya, Bayek's wife, is the most unlikeable, plain and dead inside character on the franchise.
    The last 2 missions are just disappointing and there are also some "Ubisoft agenda" moments that are just embarrassing.

    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.

    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.
