    Assassin's Creed Origins is an expansive RPG-style dive into ancient Egypt, with tense combat and tons of variety.

    It was my first Assassin and honestly, I was really enjoyed this game but after 50 hours had to force myself to finish it. If that is the best part of Assasin's, so rest of them must be really crap. Revievs don't lie. Recommended only to Assassin's fanboys

    Very mediocre. Not good. Not bad. Gameplay isnt fun. Controls are not intuitive. Its just a game with no passion or much thought placed into it. Even very tacted on RPG elements. I rather they stuck to their older routine at what they were good at than forcing this upon us

    I never finished the game. As much as fun and intrest I had in the story the gameplay made me to quit. The game repeats it self. Every mission ask you to save someone and carry them back to their home and these happens all over again. Furthermore because it takes place in ancient Egypt the Sahara was too much empt. Even with my horse the gameplay was slow and unpleasant.

    Short & lazy review: Origins is a great game, and even though it bucks many of the Assassin's Creed traditions, the story, setting, scope, and surprising attention to detail combine to produce something to which I find myself eager to return.

    The game is overall pretty good, except for the fact that it is a grind fest! Plot is short and is only artificially lengthened by the grind that is this game. It trys to be like Witcher 3 and fails horrendously. Never buy a Ubisoft game ever, is what I learned from playing this

    --- You journey through this big world but encounter no new enemies, no new animals. Forts you capture get bigger in size and amount of enemies, but pose no new challenges.
    --- You quickly understand tactics of finding chests, infiltrating forts and fighting enemies and this tactics does not change the whole game. As i said, no new enemies, no new threats, challenges doom you to doing all the process in repetitive way.
    --- There is no visual change in the world from your actions, starting from no visual change in settlement where you killed a tyrant that sucked all resourses and instilled fear in the city and following forts that you capture killing all the soldiers and sometimes even helping rebels to capture it once again packed with Roman soldeirs and rebels in cages next time you drive by it. There is not a single region that you can free from oppression. You kill hundreds and they still roam the streets (much like Far Cry 5).
    --- The highest difficulty still mostly relies on level comparison instead of actual difficulty.

    Despite all the things I did not like in the game at this point I am still ready to say it is a good game if it wasn't for one crucial thing that I realized suddenly at the end of the campaign: there is next to none interesting story missions, close to the end there is an action packed war mission, but apart from it I can't remember a single quest. You either retrieve prisoner from the cage in the camp or crouch in a secured location and assassinate target. And there are no special target conditions, you just hide in the bushes, or grab the ledge and jump down on the enemy. That is it. I am afraid that I don't have time or desire to play games like this one anymore. It is not that I like story-centered games or don't like aesthetics, I just like varied games, games where there's some meaning to upgrading your equipment, exploration etc.    … Expand

    The gameplay itself is good, with a lot of different skills and abilities to unlock and use. A lot of changes have been implemented to make this game feel more like an RPG, and it's great.

Speaking of the main quest line, the main story is mediocre at best, with a boring protagonist and even less interesting side characters. I can't find myself getting attached to these characters and what they go through as much as I was able to in past games. Getting interrupted periodically throughout the game to focus on the "modern day" story is also quite annoying and breaks immersion. The AI is often buggy and don't act as they should, especially the ones you are required to follow to complete certain quests. Customization is present, however it leaves little to be desired in my opinion. Overall, the game isn't bad, but it's definitely not one of the best Assassin's Creed installments. 7/10 at the most.… 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.

    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

    Best AC game since AC2 in my opinion (have not yet played Odyssey though). Some of the voice acting and story writing may be admittedly weak, but that is far outweighed by the game's strong points.

    Textures, shading and framerate are great and help the feeling of immersion, although the same cannot really be said for the NPC's. Gameplay and combat are vastly improved from Syndicate and Rogue, resulting in far fewer "f--k this game!" moments during combat and parkour. I give the storyline a 6.5/10 after about 20 hours in. Some of the cutscenes are actually pretty good. Heck, i might actually finish this one.    … Expand

Then go kill this captain that is oppressing him" literally EVERY single side mission is sickening. 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

    Игра не без недочётов, но сделана качественно и всего очень много. Графика хорошая, а работа художников просто прекрасна! Боевая система только плохая - очень коряво исполнена и под конец игры уже просто переключаешь на лёгкую сложность и стараешься пробежать мимо врагов:(

    В общей сложности на дополнения сезонного пропуска потратил 41 час, а на саму игру 71 час - итого 118 часов! Конечно в Фаллаут 4 времени было проведено больше, но это тоже достойный результат для игры в открытом мире!
    Выбил все достижения, кроме ипподрома в Ubisoft Club - это ад просто!
    Отдельно хотел бы выделить интерактивный тур по Египту, который надо было в составе самой игры добавлять, потому что из игры зачем-то убрали все исторические справки как это было в прошлых частях, когда можно было почитать информацию о исторических местах и личностях, а в этой части этого нет, и если в школе спал на уроках истории, то не получится уловить всего шарма данного исторического периода. В связи с чем настоятельно рекомендую пройти все интерактивные туры и тогда вы узнаете много интересного о древнем Египте и о известных личностях, значительно повлиявших на развитие цивилизации!
    И кто после этого будет утверждать, что видеоигры не несут никакой пользы… ну, как минимум, знания истории подтянуть можно легко - я, например, узнал много нового о строительстве пирамид, о династиях правителей, о изобретениях, о медицине, о мумификации, о национальных праздниках, о религии, да много чего нового - крайне рекомендую!

    Игра является очень хорошей гриндилкой, без претензий на игру года и мировой шедевр, как и все игры от Юбисофт, в которые мы играем в ожидании нормальных игр от Naughty Dog, Rockstar, CD Project Red и т.д., так что думаю в этот раз 7 из 10 будет более чем приемлемой оценкой, учитывая аж двухгодичный период отсутствия игр серии на рынке и полное переосмысление! Если Одиссея точно такая де и опять конвейер включили, то ей уже поставлю 5 или 6, но тут всё же инноваций хватает для лояльной оценки:)    … 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.
