    在经历了枭雄的堕落后，这是育碧的一次大胆尝试，很好，给系列开了一个新篇章，但是，对着脖子的刺杀为什么不能一击毙命。

    Assassin's Creed Origins trouxe a inovação que a franquia precisava, um jogo com um mundo extremamente rico em detalhes, tendo uma ambientação no Egito Antigo onde seja no deserto, nas montanhas ou cidades, todos possuindo um detalhamento muito bom.

    Um mapa onde se permanece vivo ao todo tempo, seja pelos guardas realizando rondas ou pela vida animal presente pelo mapa inteiro, mesmo que em algum local não tenha algum objetivo a ser realizado, a simples exploração se torna satisfatória simplesmente pela qualidade das paisagens e seus diversos biomas.
    Contento uma mudança na gameplay sendo focada mais no estilo de RPG e por mais que o combate se torne um pouco mais travado do que deveria ainda é divertido, agora referindo-se aos equipamentos, traz todo um sistema de evolução de armas, tendo a necessidade de melhora-las com o tempo, um sistema de skils e de evolução dos equipamentos pessoas, sejam eles sua bolsa ou sua hidden blade, porem referente ao parkuor, o jogo apenas nos introduz a capacidade de escalar tudo, e apenas isso, sem aspectos que nos lembre parkuor.
    A historia de AC Origins possui um enredo construtivo, nos apresentando apenas a motivação de vingança e se transformando em uma necessidade de ajudar todo o Egito, tendo uma boa divisão do que é simulação e tempos modernos, sabendo apresentar muito bem o que seria o inicio do credo dos assassinos e o que seria os Isu.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's a reason why Assassin's Creed Origins is considered a favorite game of the Assassins Creed Franchise for many fans and people. It's because it's that GOOD! A story of pain, vengeance, betrayal, revenge, etc. It delivers a touching and beautiful, well narrated story while also being fun and entertaining. It has amazing, fun weapons and a HUGE open world. The only reason this is getting an 8/10 is because I didn't like how you could jump climb everything and not have versatile, smooth moves like Arno from Assassins Creed: Unity. Stealth was good but it was a step down from Assassins Creed: Syndicate and Unity. I thought that the rpg aspect of the game did not fit for an Assassins Creed game and the health bar and level up system never worked in my opinion. ITS SO ANNOYING. Also while I love the map, I thought that because of how big it was and empty in some locations, you could lose the flow of parkouring. I liked the crafting system but the game felt really repetitive to get those crafting materials and to level up. It may be a lot to say about Cons, but it is my favorite game in the franchise with many others and a story. I wish I forgot about so I could play it again and be shocked like on my first playthrough...… Expand

    I've stopped to play any AC game after Black Flag. I returned series with Origins and it's brilliant. All those designs, art style, characters are amazing. AC: Origins is a masterpiece of Ubisoft.

    Mission design could be better though.

    But please, Ubisoft, remove the present time parts of the game: I know they were once introduced to get the game series (story) going, but now they are just the tedious parts of the game that really take me out of the actual adventure.
    Same for the boating bits: I did not like them in Black Flag (sic...), and I don't like them here (even though, luckily, there are much less of them).
    Also, the last part of the game dragged on quite a bit, and the "switcheroo" (I won't spoil more than that) was just cumbersome, and didn't really add anything for me.

    So a remarkably entertaining 'Creed' game, with tons of side quests (if that makes you happy). But don't expect anything really new or innovative, especially if you have played a 'Creed game before.    … Expand

    Despite the grind, which is almost the main feature of Ubisoft in games about Assassins, and the presence of bugs, this game can surprise us with an amazing plot based on the son's revenge. However, this is where the content ends and over time, the game only becomes boring.

This is the first series of the assassins, in which I want to complete additional missions, explore the world, find new locations, why? Because the game has the main thing - a very cool atmosphere. Yes, the quests are mostly simple, but you don’t get tired of them, I don’t know how Ubisoft achieved this, but it is very pleasant to play, and some missions are even unique and reveal characters, this is very cool. Still, I want Ubisoft to again intertwine the main plot with the story, and not the personal motivation of the main characters, otherwise the game is good, I advise. An interesting fact, but in moments, it seems that in Unity the graphics were a little more detailed in the little things.… Expand

    Gameplay / Mechanics - 7.4/10

    This game admittedly starts slow, which is typical of an AC game. This game can still be played stealthily, but has even more RPG style elements than the rest. The mechanics are quite a bit different than Syndicate, but they make sense. I used the second control layout so the game played more closely to Syndicate for controls.

    Please give it a chance though as the entire first 10 levels are almost all introductory style levels. I recommend gathering as much hard and soft leather and cedarwood as you can during this stage. Also do not ever sell your animal materials as they are tedious to get for later quests.

    The gameplay functions well with the story and it leads you into each section of the map bit by bit. When I first tried this game I didn't like it very much, but after trying it again and committing more time to it, I loved it. The beginning area is a bit bland, but the rest of the map is absolutely gorgeous. The missions all felt fresh and none were overly repetitive. The slightly repetitive ones were pulled together by diverse visual locations and great acting/storylines.

    The bad: sometimes the hitboxes are frustrating to the point where it will show as a headshot but not hit at all and instead alert an enemy; sometimes the movement of the character is frustrating especially climbing, but neither are to the point where it impedes on the game, and the combat is good enough where you can fight your way out of most situations. Personally I am not a big fan of Senu as I found it tedious, but he does get better later. I much prefer eagle vision in previous AC games. These games are simply too much of a pain without being able to know where the enemies all are. Flying Senu around constantly is more of a pain than anything and it doesn't make any more "sense" for realism than eagle vision did. Just give us back eagle vision please. Some of the boss fights are a bit annoying instead of being hard but I won't get into detail to avoid spoilers.

    Storyline / Characters

    No spoilers so I can't say much detail, but I found the storyline really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending in its entirety, but to each their own. The characters were all very well written and the acting as usual is spot-on. This was a very easy game to be fully immersed into. I appreciate Ubisoft's commitment to hiring professional voice actors.

    Visuals / Music
    Again, I was not a fan of the first area, but wow is the rest of the game striking visually. The detail was completely jaw-dropping and it was fascinating to explore. The music was very fitting and adding to the awe. The lighting, graphics, and physics, were all amazing. I HIGHLY recommend doing the Tour mode prior to the game if you aren't familiar with Ancient Egypt. If I had these games growing up I'd have taken a huge interest in history. The detail AC games have with history are always good, but they really impressed on this one.

    This very well could be a 10/10, but the ending, some mechanics, and some frustrating missions make it an 8/10.

    EDIT as of starting the beginning of the sequel and finishing both DLCs.
    Main Pros: Phylake system, bow and arrow system, gear upgrading system,
    Main Cons: Combat (enemies dodging backwards, unresponsive player dodging, and overpowered combos you can't get away from).    … Expand

    For me Origins is the best game in the series, a beginning of a new era for the long-running franchise. I was awestruck by how huge, varied and believable its world is and how dense it is with all sorts of appealing activities. I welcomed the completely redesigned combat system, which bids farewell to the old “press X to win” feature. Apart from various glitches and technical issues (often resulting from game’s complexity) my only serious charge against Origins is that it sets up its story poorly and fails to keep it tight.

    Origins provides a much-needed change in direction for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The range of new action-RPG elements isn’t especially innovative but they do more than enough to make the previously tired gameplay feel fresh and engaging. The world is beautiful and dense, the characters are interesting, and the story offers enough mystery and intrigue to keep players coming back before it sadly ends far too quickly. Assassin’s Creed Origins isn’t perfect, but it points to a long and healthy future for the series.
