    For the first time in years I have enjoyed and Assassins Creed game

    The Graphics are amazing and it has real world physics

    The main character is appealing and interesting

    and the combat change is a breath of fresh air

    Still dislike everything outside the Animus though

    Buy Odyssey It's a better game

    This game is a masterpiece and it brings the AC franchise in a great direction. Don't read the 6/10 and below reviews as it doesn't make sense (I guess a lot of players don't know how to play an open world game properly)

    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 :)

    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. The gorgeous, immersive world offers far more opportunities to be a classical assassin than i would've expected for ancient Egypt. This game now makes me want to actually travel to Egypt lol,Best AC game since AC2 in my opinion (have not yet played Odyssey though).

This game now makes me want to actually travel to Egypt lol, just like AC2 made me want to travel to Italy.

    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.

    I won't bury the lead, this is most likely my favorite PS4 game. As a guy who has enjoyed all the previous Assassin's Creed games, ancient Egypt as a setting seemed "cool" at first. I had no idea that once immersed in it how big a fan of the setting I would become. The sci-fi nature of AC lends itself quite nicely to time periods where they they literally just invented deities.

    AC: Origins is quite a departure from the roots of follow missions and bonus mission objectives but it is the most engrossing RPG I've played since the Fable series. Bayek is underrated as a protagnist of the series, often being overlooked for the likes of Ezio and Edward Kenway. Tropes are tropes because they work. While Bayek's motivation may seem cliche, but it's executed well enough to keep you invested. Also, there are adequate twists and turns to reduce its predictability.

    The map is vast and the opportunities for exploration are aplenty. If you have some time to kill, (which, who doesn't these days?) this game will help you wither away the hours. Also, pro-tip, flesh decay/poison essentially breaks the game when it comes to strongholds. You're welcome.

    Controls have become more disciplined. More focused with less miss-jumps. All surfaces are pretty much climbable, it gives more sense of freedom, but less sense of realism.

    Graphics is absolutely gorgeous. The vibrant orange/red colour of Egypt pops out of your screen. Sunsets and sunrises looks prettier than ever.

    Storyline and characters. Well if there is something Ubisoft sucks at it is creating memorable strong protagonists. I find little worth remembering about our hero this time either. Storywriting could also be better. Ubi lacks in both department. But we do as always enjoy real historical relevance as previous games had.

    Biggest map so far, As i write this, Odyssey has been released and is way larger, but i find Origins to have a more perfect size map with an acceptable amount of content. To complete everything on this map takes enough time what you would spend on it. Especially for trophy hunters.
    What i find a little bit sad is that there are a few regions on this map that are empty dead areas. were no expansion stories was made to kind of make use of these places. So much potential, but Ubisoft swiftly moved on to make Odyssey pretty quick after this game.

    Missions are varied in the main storyline, but at times you will find sidequest repetitive and dull as before.

    Despite flawed some places it still remains my favourite AC alongside Black Flag. As before with Ubisoft who loves to milk their franchises to death. A great time consumer, but far from being the perfect game

    The expansion adventure packs are also pretty cool and takes you further and deeper into fantasy world with some even more breathtaking maps in wonderland.

    Full of surprises, good ones and bad alike. Combat system is a mess especially on nightmare difficulty, with inaccurate hitboxes and sometimes ennemies covering the distance between you and them by literally sliding towards you, giving you no time to react to their attacks.

    I didn't expect such quality from Assassin's Creed game. They wanted to create the Witcher game in an Egyptian setting and they did so. In 2023 on PS5 it looks and feels great. Side quests are witcher-level for sure. The main story is probably not that well-written but it's better than in previous parts.

    Combat system ... well... it exists. Unity and Syndicate and all previous parts

    Combat system ... well... it exists. Unity and Syndicate and all previous parts didn't have a combat system - they had a limited amount of scripted animations that were triggered in certain circumstances. But here it's the full-fledged combat system. Of course, it could be better but compared to previous parts it's significant progress.

    So actually this game is for those who like Assassin's Creed, Witcher or Ancient Egypt :)

Na minha opinião, essa mudança foi muito bem vinda, o combate ficou mais desafiador e não perdeu a essência dos jogos originais, mesmo com a falta de assassinos e templários no jogo, Assassins's Creed Origins conta a origem dos assassinos de uma forma primorosa. Vale ressaltar que nem tudo são flores, Ubisoft tentou claramente surfar no sucesso de The Witcher 3, fazendo um jogo parecido, porem sem o mesmo culhão da CD Project Red para abordar certos assuntos e além disso a progressão do jogo é muito complicada já que agora as missões tem nível mínimo e lhe obriga a realizar missões secundarias chatas e repetitivas para poder subir de nível ou, convenientemente, comprando um boost de XP com dinheiro real vendido pela Ubisoft em sua loja, embora isso não seja obrigatório para a conclusão do jogo é algo que deve ser citado. Enfim, Assassins's Creed é um jogo muito bom, um dos melhores da saga, porem o dedo podre da Ubisoft faz com que ele seja menos incrível do que ele poderia ser. Expand

    Its a very 'Ubisoft' game if you know what I mean, and although their cookie-cutter approach garners a lot of hate, I actually quite like a number of their franchises. Big open world - Check. High production values - check. Interesting and cinematic narrative - check. A lot of fairly repetitive side-quests to keep make sure your character is appropriately levelled for the next 'main' mission - check. RPG-lite Character progression - check. I can see why a lot of people are done with them after only playing one but as long as I play some other genres from other developers in between, I'll be happy to play the next AC and Far Cry etc. when they are next released.

    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.

    The setting is as beautiful as you've read and there is a huge sense of freedom in your movement around the world. There is very little in what is around you that is not interactive. The Witcher influence is certainly here in some elements and I thought it was a great thing. Not quite that level of RPG (Odyssey grows more in that sense) but side stories having a high quality feel like they came out of that playbook.

    I do think the Animus stuff is uninteresting and those parts are a drag (just get me back to the world!) but I guess they want to explain the lore and history of the every growing AC story. Ending is slightly flat also...but possibly I'm just nitpicking but it just felt sub par to me.

    Overall though this was a very fun experience. Jumped into Odyssey because of Origins and while RPG elements have been ramped up..it's hard to beat the amazing setting that Origins gave us.

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.

Getting interrupted periodically throughout the game to focus on the "modern day" story is also quite annoying and breaks immersion.

    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. 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…

    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.

    Assassins Creed Origins is one of the better games within the AC series. Where at first I was very skeptical about the new (RPG) direction of the series, I am pleasantly surprised. This is the first time in ages that a Ubisoft game does not feel hurried and unfinished.

    Positive points:
    - Beautiful, diverse and vibrant open world
    - Combat system
    - Protagonist Bayek
    - It is especially addictive for completionists.

    Negative point:
    - Huge numbers of characters pass by in the story. Not all of them are thoroughly deepened by a strong background story. Because of this, the story is difficult to follow and vague
    - It is repetitive
    - To many icons on the map
    - Because of the leveling system you can’t always do story missions if you want to. The result is that (often boring) side missions become a must.

    Let’s hope that Ubisoft continues to innovate without losing sight of the AC series.

    Enjoyed the game overall; I feel like the atmosphere is split as it both looks aesthetically amazing whilst having a lack of ambiance which clashes with the visuals and ends up breaking the immersion.
    I felt like the story was relatively strong; I loved the character of Bayek and felt for him and his struggle with both the death of his son and the slowly deteriorating relationship with his wife (Aya) as he fights for vengeance. However, venturing from the main quest-line leads to a lot of weak side quests (there are a few interesting ones but even a broken clock is right twice a day) and seeing as these are unavoidable it makes for frequent grinds as you level Bayek so that you may progress to the next part of the story.
    The overall narrative in the present day story is very sparse here and can almost be entirely avoided if you choose to with only a handful of moment throughout the game that don't last longer than 15 minutes at most which players who aren't here for that will appreciate. The more annoying segments are the phases where you will play as Aya, playing so many hours as Bayek leveling all his skills and aquiring the weapons and bows you wish to use makes it all the more frustrating when its all stripped away and tou have to play as someone new; I felt myself wanting them to be over and this soured the story for me and left me uninterested as these sections last quite some time nearing the end of the main quest-line.
    I played this game after Odyssey and found it a refreshingly realistic version which i found refreshing as i wasn't able to destroy hoards of enemies with a mass of superhuman abilities which made sneak more important in my play style which i came to thoroughly enjoy.
    If you haven'y yet played the game its cheap and worth a go!

    Assassin’s Creed Origins это так сказать первая игра нового поколения в серии "Кредо ассасинов".
    В игре изменилось почти всё.
    Начну по порядку. Прокачка мне напомнила последние серии Far Cry. Оружия теперь очень много. Это мечи, копья, цепы, ножи, булавы и т. д. Всё оно имеет свой уровень, своё качество, сильно влияет на стиль боя и улучшается. То же можно сказать про систему одежды.
    Assassin’s Creed Origins это так сказать первая игра нового поколения в серии "Кредо ассасинов".
    В игре изменилось почти всё.
    Начну по порядку.
    Прокачка мне напомнила последние серии Far Cry. Оружия теперь очень много. Это мечи, копья, цепы, ножи, булавы и т. д. Всё оно имеет свой уровень, своё качество, сильно влияет на стиль боя и улучшается. То же можно сказать про систему одежды. Теперь это отдельно: костюм, наручи, подсумки. Их можно тоже улучшать.
    Сам геймплей так же сильно изменился. Боевая система теперь более похожа на оную в Dark Souls, она стала, так сказать, более боевой. Помимо холодного оружия герой владеет ещё и щитом, и дерётся теперь не как тихий убийца, а больше как гладиатор.
    Сильно изменился и дальний бой. Больше никаких тайных арбалетов, только огромные луки, но их четыре разновидности со своими особенностями стрельбы. Ну типа пистолет, автомат, дробовик и снайперка. Имеются даже управляемые в полёте стрелы! Класс!
    Появились, так называемые, супер атаки тратящие ячейки энергии, которые надо заполнять в бою. При активации одной из атак, наш герой вытворяет на экране сущий беспридел, нанося врагу сокрушительный урон.
    К сожалению всякие стелсовые примочки, такие как усыпляющие, отравляющие дротики, мои любимые зомби-дротики, дымовые шашки и т. д. сильно порезали. Остались только усыпляющие, которые действуют максимум несколько секунд, так что быть пацифистом усыпив весь гарнизон не выйдет. А так же дымовые шашки, которые можно использовать только при увороте от атаки. Очень странно, не удобно и не эффективно.
    Появилась птица, которая как дрон может с воздуха проводить разведку местности и помогать Байеку на охоте и в бою. Кстати птица тоже улучшается.
    Мир игры это открытая карта с регионами разного уровня и заходить в них желательно имея тот же уровень либо выше.
    По карте разъезжают некие бойцы-враги высокого уровня которые охотятся на нашего протагониста. За победу над ними дают много опыта и всякие плюшки типа высокоуровнего оружия или брони.
    Графически игра сильно похорошела, особенно по сравнению с невзрачным Syndicate.
    Теперь о сюжете. Он мне очень понравился. Повествование ведётся о появлении самого первого ассасина: как, почему, зачем и т. д. Кстати объясняется почему у ассасинов нет безымянного пальца.
    Атмосфера Египта 2000 лет назад захватывающая, особенно она мне понравилась в одном из длс. В этом длс ты охотишься на богов древнего египта в стране покрытой полями спелой пшеницы по которым ходят корабли! Зрелище захватывающее!
    Так же как и всегда в игре полно исторических личностей, например Клеопатра, Цезарь и прочие.
    Вывод: Игра одна из лучших в серии, рекомендую всем поклонникам саги об ассасинах. Тем более, что в пидористической Odyssey их вовсе нет.

    Ill analyse its Story, Storytelling, Environment and Gameplay in order to show you how I got to those conclusions:
    1) Story-
    Assassin's Creed Origins plot is one of its strongest sides, though not as deep and well written as I would like it to be its still stand strong with interesting dramatic plot and well written dialogs.
    Unfortunately this apply mostly to the main plot, most of the side quests are rather dull with not much depth to it. Story Score- 8/10.
    2) Storytelling-
    This is where the game begins to crumble. Origin's world is huge yet mostly empty or filled with pointless repetitive tasks such as hunting animals or clearing a bandits camp.
    Even though, the main story cutscenes and the voice actors ability to play make the main story line very immersive and interesting throughout the game. Storytelling Score- 6/10.
    3) Environment- Graphics in this games is pretty amazing, though not the best one Iv seen on that year, its still one of greatest for its time period. Design is decent, you have magnificent temples, plenty detailed weapons and armors and important npcs look, act and behave differently, yet lots of the stuff are repetitive in a pretty lazy copy-paste kind of thing, many camps are identical, many npcs are the same and lots of the cities aren't that impressive (though there are some outstanding designing in the game in some parts). Environment score- 7/10.
    4) Gameplay-
    Mechanics of the games are basically a poor copy the Witcher's mechanic, is some ways its great, for example in the quest layout or the inventory of the character. yet in other places like combat it offers far less options in compare to The Witcher 3, therefore its getting pretty repetitive very fast. Gameplay Score- 6/10.

    Total Score- 6.75/10 or 67.5/100.
    Verdict- The game is good, for the open world fans it would be enjoyable in most moments, and there is even a decent plot so if you don't like the repetitive rpg you can always focus on main quests and still get a good Assassin's Creed game. I would recommend it to you if you like open world rpg games, or if you are a fan of the Assassin's Creed game series. It think most of the people in these fandoms wouldn't find that game a masterpiece, yet still enjoy most of it (or at lest most of the hours they put into it).

    The only solid AC in recent years. However they straight up tried to copy Witcher 3 and Dark Souls. The single two most prolific games of the decade and Ubisoft, notorious for bugs, not finishing games, and the epitome of a shallow developer had the audacity that they could pull it off. Surprise not really. It's a good game again ruined by the fundamental design philosophy at Ubisoft

    A new age and a total rebirth for the saga. It was the rigth choice to skipped a year and change the model of one year, one game. The combat has his failures, but is organic. The story is worth it. I got really envolved in egipcian society and the vengeance history of Bayek and Aya. Cities architecture are incredible.

    Firstly, it is not and Assassin's Creed game. Really boring RPG experience and free roam. After playing Witcher 3, I can say that "It is totally trash."

    Плюсы: красивый мир Египта; боёвка стала лучше; довольно взрослый сюжет и интересные квесты; мир интересно исследовать, почти во всех точках интереса есть записки, рассказывающие мини истории.
    Уровни, кстати не мешают исследованию мира, если идти по игре постепенно.
    Минусы: боёвка конечно хороша, но баланс сломан ( лук в игре – ИМБА, булава вообще бесполезна); в большинстве квестов нет катсцен; просто ужасная и сломанная механика колесниц; есть регионы в которых вообще ничего нет, они есть просто для того чтобы хвастать размером мира; ну и конечно в игре есть донат, хотя он в серии с Black Flag; игра плохо вознаграждает игрока за усердия, т. е. ты разгадаешь все загадки папируса, а тебе за это НИЧЕГО.

    Assassin's Creed: Origins, mi primer Assassin's Creed y no será el ultimo, la saga se tomo un descanso y ese descanso les ha venido muy bien, han vuelto mas fuertes que nunca, con esta increíble entrega, con diferentes cambios respecto a los anteriores títulos.

    El juego esta ambientado en un lugar increíble, muy bonito, Egipto, con un mapa gigante, lleno de cosas que hacer, cuenta con un combate muy bueno, con un montón de armas, arcos, ataques y habilidades, es excelente, te pasaras muchas horas farmeando y mejorando utensilios para ser mas fuerte, a demás el juego cuenta con una increíble banda sonora.

    La historia es buena, aunque como se basa en misiones principales con un nivel, al que tienes que llegar para poder hacerla, te ves obligado a hacer otras actividades, como misiones secundarias para poder completar las principales. la historia se pierde un poco ahí, pero las misiones secundarias son de mas o menos buena calidad, lo cual te puede agregar muchas mas horas de diversión, a tal punto que se te podría hacer pesado.

    En resumen es muy buen juego, que si eres fan de los Assassin's Creed debes de probar.

    Graphics are great but the rest is not:

    Pros: 1) The graphics team did a great job depicting Egypt (5/5)
    2) That’s about it; read below if care to read

    Cons:
    1) You can’t use the assassination blade, unlike in other games of the sequel. Which prompts the question ‘why not?’

    2) Fighting bosses and some soldiers is unfair so to speak. Once your are hit in a combo move or you are grabbed, there is no escape; which makes gaming experience not enjoyable. 3) Lack of simplicity in UI;

    If you die in a gladiator fight, you have to wait until game reloads in a black background, then it takes you to the Gladiator Menu from where you will have to click on the fight again, which will load the game in the dark background again, then you have to wait the animation to pass, then manually ‘walk’ towards the gates, then wait there crowd cheer’ animation to pass and then start the fight again. It begs the question; why not make a ‘retry’ option after each death. 4) Fighting mechanics are not the greatest, after one point it becomes monotonous and you get bored easily. 5) On the horse/camel: you cannot assassinate the horsemen by jumping from your horse to theirs. It’s sad, because it used be a feature in other versions of the game. 6) You cannot sprint on foot or gallop a horse/camel, unlike in other versions. 7) ‘Follow the Road’ feature while on the horse/camel does not work sometimes. Either the game says ‘the follow road unavailable’ after some ride, or it takes you to a completely different location. Also, it has an obsession to use the ‘proper’ roads instead of taking a direct road which might be a timesaver. 8) The storyline is not clear; while playing the game I frequently asked myself ‘where does the game end?’ Sometimes you fall off the storyline, and when you come back you feel the sense of detachment from the game. 9) All in all, the game was not worth of the money and time spent on it. Wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

    As a huge fan of the series, I have to say that it feels a little off. It is an amazing game with stunning visuals and a good story, although the protagonist feels a little bland. Really liked the direction it took, but in my opinion it should have been a separate game from the series.

    This game is absolutely amazing.
    But only if we talk about it as a standalone game. Not as a game that is part of the Assassin's Creed series, because it has very little to do with that series story-wise.

    Let's talk about this game as, for example, Medjay of Egypt.

    Unlike AC Syndicate, the game runs absolutely famously on the Playstation 5. I did not have a single technical problem during the game. The story is very catchy, however shorter than I would have expected for such a large world map. If I hadn't gone through this game at 100%, I wouldn't have visited a lot of places. But here I have to commend the developers that even the side quests are handled in a way that makes them enjoyable.

    The characters behave naturally and draw you into the plot. The dialogues are funny without overdoing it with humour (especially in recent games we often see that instead of humorous dialogues, the dialogues are awkward).

    The mini-games in the form of races in the Hippodrome or fights in the arenas are just fun and you'll want to play through them all.

    Since this is the first Playstation game I've gone through to get a platinum trophy, I have no choice but to rate it 10/10.

    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]
