    I have a Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum an I have huge sound problems. No sound in dialogs, background sounds are missing and so on.

    Short, with my headset, it's unplayable for me. I have heard, that other 7.1 systems and headphones have similar problems. All workarounds I found didn't help. So if your setup is similar to mine, do NOT by the game! UPDATE: I found a workaround.    I have a Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum an I have huge sound problems.

    So if your setup is similar to mine, do NOT by the game!

    UPDATE:
    I found a workaround. Starting the game, plugging out and in the dongle from the headset helps.

    After this first issues I can say now, that the game seems pretty amazing. The sound is not awesome but still very good. The graphics are really good and the graphics menu is the best I have ever seen. You have now an ingame fps graph which you can open with F1.

    I play in 4k with everything maxed out and an average fps of 50.

    The storytelling of the side quests is well done and understandable. It's always a full little story.

    The main story after completing 30% of it, I don't know, It has it's good and bad sides. It would help, if you would get more information about egypt in that time ingame. But the characters are definetly better than in the last ACs it feels good to be a medjai.

    BTW:
    If you google Medjau you will find the word written in hyroglyphes on the german wikipedia page and there is a hidden blade in it.
    Really good research Ubisoft.

    UPDATE2:
    The main story is... ok. Not **** like in the Ezio Trilogy but ok.

    But and that is a BIG but:
    You can find several tombs and in some of them are underground constructions from the ones that where before and they are talking to the women that lays in the animus. But it is all just bla bla that references some theories that the modern science currently has. The reaction of the character is ZERO. Just ZERO. Ezio was mindblown as hell and your medjau just listens (like: i don't f***ing care).

    So it is a good step back to what AC was and the historic part is really good, but the sci fi part is just cold bla bla. No soul, no heart, no mindblowing. A shame.    … Expand

    Sadly, but it's the worst Assassins creed game since AC3. A lot of bugs and glitches ruined gameplay. The main character is not interesting. His motivation is incomprehensible

    Because of stupid 1.03 patch, I have ce-34878-0 error all the time. and can't play.
    and they also make new save and overwrite my save. So I lost all my save in this game.
    And most of ps4 user who own this game have same error (ce-34878-0 error) or lost save file.
    This is sloppy service management. and i'll never buy ubisoft's game

    DO NOT BUY. Nothing but a long boring grind unless you pay real money for loot boxes to get ahead. pass. Loot boxes have no place in a $60 game. Loots boxes are nothing but greedy and predatory. They are gambling, and they take advantage of people that they know will get addicted to this.

    It's funny how the positive reviews are flooding up when people are realizing that Ubisoft paid for good reviews, isn't it? Surely it's not like they know this game is gonna be buggier and more transactiony than the last one!!

    Denuvo + VMProtect cause a lot of trouple and slow the game and for worst, the game's already PIRATED. In addition, it has a big pay-to-win system where you can buy everything with real money, though BUGIsoft said that the items were going to be paid with the in-game gold. The game itself, politcs apart, feels mediocre and boring.

    10/10 Because this game deserves better than a 7.9. this is my attempt to bring the average back up. It is a solid 9/10 game. It is a flushed out RPG, compelling/ memorable main & side quests, much improved combat, and a wonderfully crafted open world.

    This game is akin to the Witcher 3, the best game ever made, and that is a great thing.

    I find it hard to believe that you can give this game a negative review. I have never played a game with the size and beauty this game has to offer. Sure there are still some weaknesses as every game has had but the strengths greatly outweigh those weaknesses. The game itself does not entirely feel like an assassin’s creed game. It feels like I am playing Witcher 3 with Assassin’s Creed mechanics, in terms of character and mission depth. The glaring weakness in this game is stealth. Seems like Ubisoft took a step backwards when it comes to stealth but then again, you must realize this character does not start off as a trained assassin who know how to operate stealthy. I have never felt anything repetitive in this game which has been a downfall for previous games. The looting is quicker, the customization is endless, and the ability tree helps regulate story and character flow.    … Expand

    I've been playing it for 30hrs now and I still feel like I was playing The Witcher 4 (which from me is a huge compliment). This game is beautiful, varied, exciting, deep, and you learn a bunch of things about Ancient Egypt, Greece and Roman Empire (which is quite cool actually).

    What makes it epic:

    - the hero is a real badass (and it's very pleasant to have him breaking enemy's bones)

    - the open world is unique and mesmerizing

    - quests are varied with always a good storytelling behind

    - you learn things about ancient cultures while playing (and this fun/educational aspect is unique these days)

    The game might not be great, but giving it from a 0 to a 4 is simply stupid.
    It has a lot of issues, but i think has more improvements than problems.
    It's fun, it's not the best, but it doesn't need to be.

The setting of ancient Egypt is beautiful and interesting (just got a 4K tv and a pspro on Black Friday and it's the best looking game I've ever laid my eyes on!). The map is huge! So much to explore, you can even swim to the bottom of every lake and ocean in the game, if you can see it you can go there. The map is so big at the end of the main story line I hadn't even visited it all, not even close really. I still have a million things to do after the main story concludes and that's not a bad thing. Tons of side quests, gladiator arena events, dlc boss battles, many a location yet undiscovered, on and on. The amount of content here is unreal.

    As for the story, I enjoyed it, for me it's more about gameplay and the combat, whether it be a lowly guard or boss fight or gladiator arena event or the few black flag inspired ship battles it's all a blast.

    I know micro transactions are a sticky subject I'm an old ass gamer who hates them! I'll just say I never once even looked at what's was available in store. I just played the game on normal difficulty and the game progression was spot on, levelling up abbility and gear was a non issue, enemies never felt cheap and for an action rpg I never felt it was a grind.

    This is a perfect game, once again excited for the AC series.    … Expand

    In my opinion the best Assassins Creed so far which doesnt deserve the rant it gets.

    First of all I m playing AC:O on a PS4 Pro with 4K HDR equipment and the game looks amazing. Anyone saying that the graphics are bad has honestly no clue about it. The facial expressions are not perfect but still very good, the atmospherical details are stunning, like brick walls, grass, sand been blowing through caves, sun blinding light that covers you when exiting a building. I didnt mention any obvious bugs like clipping, render popping or frame drops which is amazing because a lot games suffer on this end.

    Voice acting is well made and covers the whole game which is to me something decently appealing. The voice seem to fit pretty good what they need to represent. Fighting, soundtrack and ambient are also really decent. I enjoy it a lot on my home cinema setup.

    Controls and combat got some irritating beef which made me hold back on this game but honestly I dont get why. I still feel pretty noob-ish on console controls sometimes but AC:O has a well enough mix. Easy one button mashing which needs to be switched for shield carrying enemies and some bow action, mixed with some dodging. I personally dont need more and I like the basic simplicity of it.

    The inventory and crafting system is well made. You need to grind a bit for the materials but it is okay. You can get it by hunting animals, robbing material transfers or jumping on ships looting them. Another way is just by exploring and looting the environment or ship wrecks in the sea (which looks amazing!!). I didnt experience a carry limit. Everything you gain can be dissembled in your inventory by one click to gain raw materials or can be sold on the market. Items have different looks, feels and rarity. I like this a lot give the open world feeling a deeper rpg part.

    Sneaky sneaky can still be part of the game if you want to be. Assassinating is still huge if you want it to be huge and also plain slashing your way through is also mostly possibly. It is fair that the game provides a solution for everyone.

    Questing and progression are decent to me. You need to invest quite some time. This could be hard for casuals but is exactly what the majority of core gamers might be looking for. The side quests feel very appealing to me. There your casual fighting, delivering, revenging etc. stuff but you also need to investigate murders, help on a farm or carry injured ppl back home. I find this is a really decent and interesting mix which I havent found in a game so far.

    Open world is a key aspect in this game and very well implement. Synchronized spots can be used for fast travel. You can (auto)-ride by horse or splish-splosh your way on boats. Mediocre distances can be well taken by foot. I feel that the world is HUGE but its decently made so I dont need to waste amounts of time by just wandering around to another spot if I dont want to.

    Assassins Creed was very disappointing to me for ages but AC:O honestly sealed the deal for me. You can invest money for cosmetics (which are well made) and the world feels fun. I dropped maybe 15-20 hr in the game and I want to keep going. The gold edition which sells at sale times around 60-70 is worth it so far.

    Have fun!

    In the longrun update:
    After playing through most of the bonus stuff and DLCs I reduced my opinion from 10 to 9. The DLCs are well made and offer a great addition to the game although I myself felt a lack of variety in gameplay and some AI bugs were driving me nuts. I felt that the Gold Edition was too much for me. If I would ve bought only the main game it would ve been the perfect time/price ratio. Also the story progression overall lacked a bit in the DLCs.

    So I would rate:
    - Sole main game 9 to 10
    - Main game plus DLCs 8 to 9

    I still felt the game so worthy after putting aroung 70hrs in it that I think 9 is a fair rating for the bundle.    … 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.
