Yes, it’s a slog but exploring ancient Egypt is great so spending extra money to upgrade doesn’t seem necessary to me and haven’t felt the need to do so. If you have enjoyed any of the Assassins Creed games of the past I think you will enjoy this one. Check it out!    … Expand

    So far this is the only assassins creed that has managed to surpass assassins creed 2. Its that good. Of course this is my opinion but it is absolutely amazing. Combat is awesome, stealth is awesome, exploration is amazing and the story is great. Bayek is one of my favorite assassins and dont even get me started on the graphics. Holy crap are they amazing. Best ive seen. Buy this game.

I skipped Unity due to the issues and never got around to playing Syndicate. I was very excited to see what that team could do with this game, given they took extra time to reinvent Assassin's Creed. I am glad to say that the extra year helped make this into one of the best Assassin's Creed games. The game takes a couple hours to open up but once you leave the tutorial area the game begins to shine. This is one of the best, if not the best open world I have played in. It is almost as good as the world in The Witcher 3. The main story is good but takes a back seat to the side quests and the open world itself. However, the ending is very good, especially for Assassin's Creed fans. The combat system is the most divisive change in the game. I personally like it as it takes more skill than previous games. For this first time in a while, getting surrounded can be very dangerous so it's smart to take the stealth option as long as you can. This game shows that if Ubisoft allows their studios more time to make their games, they are much better in the long run. If Assassin's Creed doesn't become annualized again it can become an amazing franchise again!… Expand

    I'm not sure I can ever buy another game at full price after this one. Here I am a month later and its already 20$ off. It probably should have been priced at 40$ to begin with.

    2. Combat? What is this? Its like the Witcher meets tomb raider. Clunky combat, weird timing...combat really isn't fun. I have more fun watching enemies kill themselves than actually fighting them.
    3. HUGE world, just really boring. Same thing, over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Go somewhere, get quest, find person, save them or kill them, repeat over and over with very subtle differences.
    4. Loading up from a saved game takes about a minute and a half. Loading from fast travel to fast travel takes about 30 seconds.
    5. The story was pretty boring, a few twists here and there but nothing memorable or spectacular. I have beaten the game and still dont quite understand what the protagonists goal was. (The person visiting the Animus.) Maybe I didn't pay enough attention, but I didn't really feel like I wanted to either.
    6. Easy. This game was just flat out easy using stealth. Nothing even had a chance with sleep dart or poison darts.
    7. They could have added more environmental interactions/traps/distractions/etc...The few you have (fire) gets old pretty quickly.
    This game is just meh. I would buy it at 30$ no that I have played it, but due to microtransactions not a penny more.

    Game really diminished my faith in buying a game on day 1 release. So much that I will never make this mistake again.

    I read about loot-boxes and such: have not idea, haven't even clicked the store button and not sure I will. The game gives you any tools necessary to enjoy it without further cost. I am half-way through (level 27) and I have this old familiar feeling of "real life break - it's Ezio's time".

    This game is an amazing work of art. It has it's flaws but with time I'm sure they'll be ironed out and more content will be added on top of what is already initially provided. Well worth a purchase if you like games like The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

    So i am someone who played every Assassins Creed game, except for the last one. However the setting for this one really intrigued me and so i picked it up. And i must say I wasn't disappointed.
    This one isn't a perfect game, in fact in many ways it is a rather flawed game, but at its core it is fun to play and provides for 30+ hours of story game play.

    This one isn't a perfect game, in fact in many ways it is a rather flawed game, but at its core it is fun to play and provides for 30+ hours of story game play.
    The redesigned fighting mechanics is a welcome change, unfortunately it doesn't work as well with multiple enemies and it channels a lot of the Witcher however the interplay with the Ranged and the Melee makes for a challenge that for the most part is more fun than frustrating.
    Exploration, Riding and the parkour mechanics are very improved and a lot of the frustration of the earlier games is removed. I mean for the most part you hardly have to do much, but trust me there is plenty going on in the game that you don't want to be distracted by broken climbing mechanics.
    The Storyline starts very strong and draws you in but about 3/4ths through it just totally breaks. At about 15-20 hours in, I personally started getting bored and I had to take a couple of days off from the game, before the final 10 hours or so of it started. To be honest, i didn't get back into it for the story, because it had become a write off, the game was just fun enough for me to continue with that mishmash of a plot line.
    The progression System is possibly, what is on most people's minds, the issue of loot boxes etc. Let's just say that this game is possibly at the borderline of what is acceptable. I bought the gold version and that version comes with really great in game advantages that possibly knocked off at least a couple hours worth of grinding. It also came with a Legendary weapon that i did not stop using till the final mission basically. So this inherently proves that real money changes/makes this game easier to play. Having said that, because of its core single player nature, I did not engage with the in game merchant, or spent any actual money in the store (You were given 500 Helix points for buying the deluxe version and again that is not an insignificant amount). The Merchant inside the game, can basically be ignored and the loot crates that he sells is purchasable using in game money, but its really a high amount and I never bothered with it.
    Honestly, the fact this merchant who sells loot crates purchasable in game currency that is intensely purchasable using Helix Coins which are purchasable through Real $$, is basically gambling, but its impact in this game is reduced because of two factors. This is a single player game and the incentive to gamble is reduced and secondly you can basically spend real money to by helix coins to purchase actual goods in the store, without having to resort to this mechanic. So the store itself, that sells everything from weapons to crafting materials negates the effect of this In game merchant selling loot boxes. I am hoping that this loot box/gambling mechanic wasn't put in just to entrap someone who is addicted to actual gambling, because there is really no reason for this feature to exist in this game. I reduced one point in my review for this reason, I think if at all pay to win or as the game puts it timesavers are to be implemented they should be done the way they are in Assassins creed origins minus the in game merchant and his LootBoxes.
    Overall, this game gives you value for money in that it is easily 30+ hours of gameplay that is fun and lets you explore some really beautiful levels that are really file like ancient Egypt. Egypt is the star here and frankly, while the mileage you get out of the game might be different, you will enjoy exploring Egypt, with a competent if not perfect combat system and a progression mechanic that is at times very grindy but just about stays honest.    … Expand

    Returning to its roots in more ways than one
    Assassins Creed Origins takes place in Egypt around 49 BC, the time of Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar
    You play as the last Medjay, Bayek and occassionaly as his wife Aya
    Without spoiling the story, something happens that sends Bayek on a revenge quest.. a very personal one that makes Bayek feel real, and gives you a real connection with him…
    Im going to get the bad out of the way first….
    I found the story here to be the weakest in the series main line games…
    As the name suggests.. Origins tells the story of how the Assassins Creed started…
    But it sortve just goes.. okay.. the creed is a thing now.. heres an explanation of the symbol, bye…
    It never feeks impactful or justified.,, it sort of just happens and left me disliking both of the games main characters
    The story is more focused on Bayek and his revenge which is fine… it definitely pulled at my heart strings but the delivery of his story as well as the story of the creed felt so disjointed…
    It has interesting characters from history such as Julius ceasar and Cleopatra…
    But I feel these characters were never fully utilized in the way characters have been in past assassins creed games… theyre just there… which leaves this to be easily the most forgettable campaign
    I feel this may mostly have to do with the game deciding to go the more RPG route.. where you cant just focus on the story as enemies 3 or more levels higher than you will just one hit kill you…
    This had me going out and ignoring the story just to level up and clean the map…
    And when I came back to play through the story it was over before I knew it
    I put 40 hours into the game, not even touching half of its giant map and id be surprised if there was more than 6 to 8 hours of actual campaign content here..
    Overall extrememly disappointed in the campaign, even though it has a powerful opening…
    On a positive note with the campaign.. I loved that we got a peak into our targets minds after assassinating them.. reminding me more of the first game… and there is more of a Desmond Miles feel with the present day…
    It sortve just feels there..not as intrusive as the desmond saga but I feel the potential for something here in the future and it’s a step in the right direction..
    Now that most of my ranting is done..
    Gameplay and experience wise..
    Assassins Creed Origins is one of the best games in the entire Assassins Creed series…
    Egypt is huge, again there is nearly half of this game ive yet to even uncover…
    But uncovering it all is what makes assassins creed origins so great..
    It finally feels addictive again to discover, no longer is the setting just a background.. it’s a character for the first time since Assassins Creed 3
    There is an ungodly amount of detail in this world… easily the best open world of the year, so much care and attention to detail..
    Every inch of this game feels hand crafted rather than thrown into some algorithm
    The world is full of question marks in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming..
    There are sidquests with real stories attached to them such as helping a suicidal widow get over her grief..
    The characters in the world feel real.. the world feels alive, it goes on with or without you..
    There are tombs and bandit camps for you to raid and captains to kill for weapons, there are the sync points for fast traveling.. there are animal dens, clues for treasure hunts, sunken ships to plunder..
    And you have an egal companion named senu that can take to the sky and mark points of interest to lessen the frustration of searching for an areas treasure to earn that xp bonus for clearing an area
    You can also fight in arenas or chariot race…
    There is so much to do here in this gorgeous world…
    Uncovering new locations will award you with xp so you can level up and use higher weapons and dump skill points into bayek,,
    There is a skill tree that focuses on close combat, ranged combat, and tootls such as smoke bombs and being able to tame animals…
    Assassins Creed Origins is so close to perfection..
    I haven’t had this much fun exploring an open world in a long time…
    of calling my horse or camel and setting off to uncover the next question mark and the secrets this world hides..
    im excited to go back in.
    But the poor campaign hurts my overall opinion of this game, as do the few annoyances I have with its climbing feeling unresponsive compared to syndicate and unity.. and not being able to interact with items until you get out of conflict when enemies are dozens of yards away… which is the biggest one…
    Let enemies ineterupt me… stop locking me out of actions…
    But this open world is the best open world since the witcher 3…
    Assassins Creed is back to being an addictive map cleaner full of wonder.
    I give Assassins Creed Origins

    I did experience some minor graphical glitches in my play through which caused nothing more than a minor immersion breaker. I did not experience any crashing or other major glitches in my personal play through. The combat system being that of dark souls suffers the same downsides as it's application in those games. 1v1 the combat is absolutely fantastic but additional enemies can dampen the experience. The camera, like that in Dark Souls, has trouble with this scenario. I never felt like those moments were bad you just feel like the game is against you in those moments which, hey, if you are outnumbered, perhaps is the point.

    The ending of the story leaves you pretty unsatisfied (you can check on reddit for a general concensus of that opinion), the new approach to gameplay which changes the usual and tried counter in fights is now changed to an action RPG with influences from The Witcher 3 but does not execute it properly, or at least I felt it so. The graphics also feel rushed and pretty lackluster.

    If you're a fan of the series, I do recommend playing it, but most definitely at a lower price than it currently is. If you're not, you're better off playing The Ezio Collection or basically any other entry in the series and just read the minimal progression of the story this game has rather than play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you want an actual Assassins Creed game, look somewhere else. A better and more descriptive name would've been Gladiators of Egypt or Angry Dad: An Egyptian Tale. I've platinum-ed the game on the PS4 and there this game have very little to do with the play style of what made Assassins Creed unique. Had the game not mentioned Animus, you would have thought it just an Egyptian Skyrim/Horizon Zero Dawn clone.

    There is practically zero need to sneak around in the game, no penalties for being detected and most combat is spent in open conflict with some kind of heavy weapon. There's zero finesse required for any assassination mission, just kick down the front door to your target's location and hamfist your way to him with whatever weapon you choose.

    "Crafting" in this game is just a grind fest, a better description would be more like a Upgrade Mini-game than actual crafting, you can only upgrade 5 pieces of gears anyways, and they just require a few different type of materials that you can obtain either from looting treasures or hunting animals around the world. The hunting was fun for about 2 hours then it quickly descends into a distracting job.

    Progression of the story is marred by contact need to level-up your character or upgrade your gear due to the silly RPG leveling system Ubisoft decided to add to the game. While a metal blade through the throat of a lvl 10 Egyptian footman kills him, a lvl 30 Greek Soldier now has the power of the Xmen Colossus and becomes resistant to metal blade to the neck. There are no longer the lovely dance of death with counter kills and execution streaks. Ubisoft have devolved the combat of Assassins Creed to Call of Duty, if it moves, hit it with something heavy and sharp till it stops moving.

    The story of the game is shallow, the characters are one dimensional. Compared to previous ACreed's characters like Ezio or even Haythem, Bayek is has about as much character as a piece of napkin with angry curse words written over it, and even less of an emotional range as Ronald Weasley, mostly stuck between very angry and very very angry. Unlike the cultured character we learned to love, Bayek has the vocabulary prowess as the typical American high school student, using mostly 4 letter words that can be commonly heard if one was working on a manure farm. Story can be summed up by a single sentence. "My son is dead, now I get to kill everybody I think is responsible." Oh, and we actually don't find out his son is dead until maybe an hour into the game after you kill a bunch of people which you have no idea why you're killing as a player.

    The revenge mission of dead online players and instagram like feature of sharing screenshots in the game at best can be described as annoying, and at worst completely destroys immersion. Your mind has to decide if you're reliving the Ancient Egyptian past or if you're in some kind of facebook simulator skinned by an Egyptian theme.

    The messages left by the precursor civilization that you can find by Bayek is long and cryptic to a point of being unnecessary. Imagine a typical technobabble on a star trek episode, then multiply that by 20 then topped again by useless references to everything "edgy" and "sciency" Ubisoft can think of that conveys a simple message of "Nothing is True" -Perception of reality is subjective, "everything is permitted" - All actions have consequences. And by the end you're not quite sure if its Bayek who found the message or they were build into the Animus because Bayek is simply not even responsive to the display of advanced technology or even puzzled by the technobabble, he simply stands there, like what Ubisoft wanted him to be, a large angry meat sack.

    I have no idea how ANYONE can give his game more than a 5/10, but perhaps most people are easily pleased.    … Expand

    A Fantastic Entry in the AC Universe

    Egypt is a massive sprawling playground for you to explore, stealth and hack and slash your way through that you will be intrigued by.

Sure, combat is a little basic with only light, heavy, dodge and parry in the meleé but you can also utilise your bows, of which there are 4 variations of, and attempt, later on in the game, to poison and send to sleep your enemies.

    There are many missions in this game (125 in the vanilla edition) as well as tombs to explore and pilfer from, chariot racing, hunting (which is a part of the crafting system) and gladiator arena challenges too if you want a break from exploring and conquering but I felt that it could have benefited from something a little different to break up the monotony of its huge premise. Maybe a board game or two or card games would have been a nice addition but I am playing Devil's advocate here.

    Graphics are a high for the series in its landscape but I can't help but feel that it is time for a new engine whereby the facial is concerned. Things just look a little dated on that front for me and this is only exacerbated when seeing the cut-scenes.

    The skills and levelling system is handled well here giving you the freedom to upgrade the skills most useful to you over others. I would have liked the character level to have exceeded the hard cap of 40 which I reached after uncovering around half of the map but even after that there is plenty left to explore and witness.

    All in all, this is a brilliant return for the AC series and will appease fans as well as welcome in new gamers to the franchise. This game sits as my second favourite in the series after the seminal AC2 and this is high praise from me. Dip your toe into this game and it will hook you.    … Expand

    В игре очень хорошая графика и отличная дальность прорисовки, почти на уровне игр от Сони с открытым миром.

    Из негативного отмечу множество багов и малый выбор скинов для главного героя, которые отличаются лишь цветом той или иной части текстуры.

    Ну и самое важное на сегодня. В игре нет жёсткой системы доната. Продаются весьма посредственные скины для ГГ и лошади, несколько странных орудий, а так же простые ресурсы и открытие на картах различных собираемых предметов. Редких ресурсов, типа Кварца или углерода там не продают вообще. Обычных ресурсов у тебя уже к середине игры будет очень много, они есть почти везде. Что не может не радовать, можете вообще в магазин не заходить.    … Expand

    i don't understand why people are giving this game low scores?!?!?! its definitely a refreshing game with a new approach on most mechanics. If you are looking for a fresh new assassins creed, well here is the game you will want to get. Bayek is a interesting character that will be remembered.

    Nothing but beautiful landscapes.. very generic and soulless game. I can’t even finished it. Lvl 35 and u do the same thing over and over again. No sense of being an Assassin. Just poor open world action without an interest to play it.

    I was excited to play AC again after burning out but this game adds very little and felt cheap the combat is better but personally i found it boring i pushed through for story but kept hitting walls that require me to level up and do these really boring side quests.

    AC origins doesn't deserve the praise it has received from the mainstream reviewers a lot of the game is just padding and it all got very repetitive and dull.

    In conclusion if you enjoyed the last 20 AC games buy this! If you hoped for a change of pace and a solid story you will just be disappointed paying 100 dollars for one of the most disappointing sandbox game of this year considering shadow of war even with terrible loot box and real ending pay wall had a better story and minute to minute gameplay.

    I may be hard on the game but with the bugs the bad mechanics and story players will be left wanting for a better experience after the promises and beauty of the world they created.    … Expand

    When I first purchased this game, I was filled with both with both hope and worry. I was worried because in my opinion it has been a long time since there was a good assassins creed game and I didn't want the potential of the great setting and historical to be wasted on another disappointing game in what felt like a dying series.

I was worried because in my opinion it has been a long time since there was a good assassins creed game and I didn't want the potential of the great setting and historical to be wasted on another disappointing game in what felt like a dying series. On the other hand, I was hopeful due to the game being developed by the team which made Assassins Creed Black Flag, which in my opinion was the best game in the series. Plus they had an extra year of development on the game which I hoped would help revive the series. Thankfully, the hopeful side of me was rewarded and I was given a great game that is easily up there in terms of quality with Black Flag and the Ezio Trilogy. The game's setting and graphics are both incredibly beautiful. Egypt in this game is enormous and looks fantastic, with many different kinds of environments ranging from vast deserts to lush rainforests. The gameplay is a much needed improvement for the series. The best way I can describe it is a mix of The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls. It has a similar lock on system and fighting styles to the souls series, with different weapon types each having their own unique styles and are suited for different types of ways to fight enemies. The dodging and movement feels very much like The Witcher 3, everything feeling very fluid and natural. The combat isn't the only thing the game borrows from the Witcher, as in a lot of ways it feels more like The Witcher 3 than an assassins creed game. While this might upset some fans of the series, to me it feels like a much needed change of pace. the map and how missions work are the things that are most similar to the witcher. The map consists of various question marks across the map to investigate and each are has a level cap where you probably shouldn't go to unless you are at least 2 or 3 levels behind what it tells you is the recommended level. There are around 60 sidequests in the game, with some of the quality of them being hit or miss. Some are simple fetch quests that aren't super interesting, while others having interesting stories them. As for the story, it is one of the stronger stories in the assassin’s creed series. It is fairly similar to the setup in Assassins Creed 2, with it being about the main character Bayek going on a revenge quest. While the setup itself is nothing really groundbreaking, it is the characters that really propel the story into being one of the more intriguing one’s in the series. Bayek, the protagonist in the story, is very good. He’s family man who suffered a tragedy in said family that sets up his quest for revenge. He has a lot of emotion to him and you really feel for him in the struggle that he is going through. Thankfully, unlike Connor from Assassins Creed 3, he is not completely one note. He is very noble and has a strong sense of morality, who is extremely dedicated to his wife and to helping the people of Egypt. He is charismatic as well, not afraid to crack a joke once in a while and has good chemistry with the characters around him. Thankfully he is not too jokey, because he doesn’t fall into the dashing funnyman rogue archetype that the assassins creed series has overused with many of its characters. Bayek’s wife Aya is also a standout in the story. She is very capable in her own right and is very dedicated to helping people similar to Bayek. The chemistry between Aya and Bayek is great. While they love and are very devoted to each other, both have different opinions on how they should be doing things. This along with the stress of a family tragedy they’ve experienced, provides an interesting subplot to the main story with the characters having trouble trying to coincide the love they feel for one with some disagreements that they have with one another. She often steals the show in the scenes that she appears in, and some individual missions where you get to play as her is a lot of fun. Assassins Creed Origins is a great game and is well rounded in all areas. Hopefully Ubisoft will take the hint and continue to not release these games annually, as in my opinion this has helped the series return to the kind of quality that it used to have.… Expand

    Guys I'm being serious - my biggest problem with ACO is...there's just nothing to do in this damn game. Listen, they've removed the optional challenges (my favourite feature of AC games), ALL collectibles, most side activities like optional assassinations and things like improving your hamlet in AC3 or playing with your fleet in AC4. And they have replaced it with....nothing. I guessGuys I'm being serious - my biggest problem with ACO is...there's just nothing to do in this damn game. Listen, they've removed the optional challenges (my favourite feature of AC games), ALL collectibles, most side activities like optional assassinations and things like improving your hamlet in AC3 or playing with your fleet in AC4. And they have replaced it with....nothing. I guess people were fed up with collectibles and side activities but when you remove it all and replace it with nothing....it's boring. It really is.

    ACO is flashy and beautiful and pulls you in for a few hours but then you'll realize you're doing just two things all over again - side quests and looting lairs (animal nests, forts, villas etc.) Over and over again. There isn't anything else to do. All the interesting set pieces and closed assassination areas like in Syndicate are gone too.

    Sure there are oodles of side quests but they are usually about "go to X, talk to Y, kill ABC and bring back the stolen stuff". Plus the story is not very exciting, the beginnings of the Assassins are kindda humdrum. And the characters are boring too. Bayek is grouchy and uncharismatic and Aya is smart and strong but also about as warm and likeable as a granite block. The villains are just one big grey blob and the villain alpha dog looks like a beta neckbeard. There's nothing quirky or interesting or distinctive in the characters or the writing, it's all just one big, smooth and featureless mass product.

    I know most people don't like the modern storyline about gods but at least it made the game unique. I've always thought the problem with the things people got fed up with over the 10 or so games - the optional challenges, the collectibles, the side activities, the modern storyline - was not that they were there but that they were half heartedly implemented. In ACO instead of improving them Ubisoft simply took them away.

    I had a blast in the first 10 hours, then lost all interest. I just rushed the end. I never thought I'll say it but ACO is probably the most boring AC game since the first one, despite the attractive setting and potential for the metastory. Even AC3 was more interesting, at least there was Haytham. In it's boringness and staleness ACO is on par with Revelations. Looking back at it I feel like going back to Black Flag or even Syndicate. I actually liked Syndicate. Sigh.

    Positives? The combat is fine, certainly more engaging then in previous games (although I liked the Syndicate combat too). And the world is beautiful and just gigantic. Too bad they haven't filled it up with much.    … Expand

    This loot box crap doesn't belong in a game like this. It doesn't make the game more fun or more enjoyable, it just makes me hate what should've been a good experience.

    A fresh addition to the franchise I had played recent assassin's creed games and just simply felt bored. This game however did the opposite. Decent character development and nice side-characters with memorable and surprising twists did the game very well. The RPG aspect was nice as well. They've clearly taken some direction from the recent Witcher game; following it's success.

Decent character development and nice side-characters with memorable and surprising twists did the game very well. The RPG aspect was nice as well. They've clearly taken some direction from the recent Witcher game; following it's success.

    I felt the skill tree was nice and varied along with having a good arsenal of weapons that can be upgraded and changed based on your own playstyle. The micro-transactions... I felt weren't as substantial as other games as I never felt forced to purchase any extra things for the game... I simply went through it and enjoyed it. The side quests didn't feel repetitive as other games have made the mistake of doing and always kept you interested. Moreover the actual gameplay was very satisfying to play with after intially getting used to it., I found myself taking down captains and other standard enemies a lot easier which slightly took away a fun and challenging aspect of the game even when increasing the difficulty, however you feel that you have earned this power after all the time you have put into the game. Another great thing I enjoyed in the game is the free roam, being able to work on the extra abilities and upgrading Bayek's health and damage by exploring, intercepting bandits and collecting hides was fun, and I actually found myself saying "Just one more thing, actually just this last thing" more times than I care to admit. The Phylakes addition into the game was great as you did feel on edge, and their initial power is scary and you genuinely feel like you have to avoid them to stay alive. Moreover, the you cannot simply run through a huge bandit camp, assassinate your target and leave, you have to strategically scale the outskirts of a castle, taking out guards or stealthily make your way through camps and loot them, gaining more powerful and satisfying rewards and gear. Also, the ability to upgrade your weapons to your level cap as you progress was a nice implementation as I found a sword I really liked and wanted to keep without it becoming weak as I leveled.

    The replay-ability of this game I feel would die out after a while and would indeed become very 'samey' after either finishing or playing the game for a while, as most enemies and camps are the same, and the loot you get at level 40 cap becomes old after gaining legendary gear. A couple of crashes here and there and absolutely stunning visuals made for a great game, and a memorable experience.    … 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.

    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]
