    With the extra time allotted to the development of this game, Ubisoft had a make-or-break chance with this game, and this franchise essentially. They tried a few new things and, while not everything worked out the way they intended, and some of the old annoyances cropped up from previous games in the franchise, this is without a doubt the best game since AC2.

They tried a few new things and, while not everything worked out the way they intended, and some of the old annoyances cropped up from previous games in the franchise, this is without a doubt the best game since AC2.
    You play as Bayek, a man caught up in a situation that leads to him helping found the Brotherhood. While the story is typical AC fair at this point, Bayek is a good character, even if he never seems to be the main character throughout the story. It's hard to say much without spoiling things but I always go the feeling that he was watching from the sidelines as the things that he made happened occurred.
    Onto the gameplay now, which is the biggest change from previous games. Combat is much more articulate and requires much more patience from the player. It takes some time to figure things out, especially for long time fans of the series, but it's pretty well done. It has it's problems, especially trying to focus on one enemy at a time, even with the lock on feature. I'd give it a thumbs up from the previous games, but knowing that it can get better with the following games.
    The world is probably the best part of the game. The map is massive with a dense and robust amount of stuff to do. It helps that the time period for the game was something that was absolutely new to me, as opposed to previous games in the series that I knew alot about before going into them. The most fun I had at times was just running around and finding new stuff on the map and getting it done.
    This was a big step forward for the series as a whole for me. Getting away from the yearly releases will only help the franchise get back to that AAA destination it had been at for the longest time but had taken a step back in recent years. While I won't say that I'm fully invested in the series just yet, I know that they're on the right path with this game and I'm excited to see what they have in store for us in the future.    … Expand

    Assassin’s Creed Origins is my favorite game of the last few years. It has a great story, great characters, great combat; everything is great. I felt compelled to get every achievement because it was so good.

    For the first time I actually wanted to beat a AC game. I typically get bored from the repetitive game play. I would recommend this game to anyone who has wanted to enjoy the AC series but have had trouble getting into it!

    Game is pretty good, but it is TOO LARGE, TOO LONG, TOO MASSIVE. It is a lot time need to waste to complete the main storyline. It's like house-size cake you can eat at weeks, and it gots you tired and annoyed because of size.
    Don't do that please. I want to finish main quest in 20 hours and switch to another game.

    This game was a great buy. I was skeptical at first as I had never enjoyed assassin's creed, but honestly, this one is excellent is one of, if not the best in the entire franchise for me. If you love RPG's, buy this. Now if you want this game, but can't decide between this or Odyssey, I would say buy Origins. This game is much more grounded, but I love Egypt, so that is my opinion.

The systems of levels, crafting, farming and the hability tree are some examples of RPG elements we can see. Of course we're still talking about an action game, so despite the strategy it brings there're still being loads of action.
    All this changes have been refreshing for the franchise... It really needed. Finally, after many years we can say that we're playing a brand new assassin's creed and not a copy of the previous one.    … Expand

    In all honesty Ubisoft have hit the ball right out of the park with AC: Origins – it's truly a magnificent addition to the line up and franchise. I just hope that they don’t rush another game out on the back of this. With the large open world and many side quests I can comfortably say I will be investing a good few days into this game as its panning out to be one of the best in the series.

    Ubisoft did a great job with this one. I am only a level 15 right now but I truly enjoy the difficulty of the game and the fact that you need to be a certain level to do certain missions on other assassins creed games you could kind of finagle your way around that with skill but in Origins its pretty much impossible to do. great game 8.7 out of 10 on my scale and best Assassins Creed game yet.

However, Assassin's Creed Origins will not follow it's predecessors and it completely changed the format for the series. The change to a RPG format was a good change for the series. The new system offered significant challenges in combat, and made the simple counter button non-existent. Furthermore, higher level enemies can't be assassinated and significantly higher enemies appear as skull level, which are near impossible to beat. The world is a beautiful rendition of the ancient world of Egypt. Exploring the end of the empire with the transition of power in the royal family. Furthermore, the story introduces a new order pre-dating the templars, and the Assassin's. The story it-self is very interesting and show the struggle between right and wrong along with the aspect of revenge. Exploring the endless world of Egypt for over a hundred hours is an experience I will never forget. This game will act as a new formula for future Assassin's Creed games to come and will act as an ideal format for open world Ubisoft games.… Expand

I even got every achievement but without buying that material pack it could have been a long time getting some of those materials which would have ruined the game for me as the pace was great and if i did side track then i may not have ever finished the game. Also it had 2 expansions the 1st was short the 2nd was awesome. Also in the middle of their expansion release dates they added a ton of history stuff you can read and watch and learn about Egypt so i will praise them on that as it is tons of hours of learning and is amazing. I would have given this a 10 if it was a little better of a story but mainly didn't have microtransactions that were not cosmetic only as i bought the fire horse and used it the entire time so i don't mind that as that was for me and i liked it, but the non cosmetic microtransactions is why i can't give this a 10 and this game does look amazing and the fighting styles were fun.… Expand

Of course the game isn't perfect though, at first I found it hard getting used to the new gameplay mechanics (though they eventually grew on me) and the progression system is not one I find pleasing. The many side-quests put me off the main storyline alot of the time, but I had to play them as otherwise it would have been impossible to get enough XP which the main quests require.

    Assassin's Creed macht es nämlich anders als alle Titel zuvor. Es versucht sich an Rollenspiel Aspekten und einen neuen grandiosen Kampfsystem, wodurch es zum ersten Mal richtig Spaß mach nicht wie ein Assassine vorzugehen. Zudem gibt es zahlreiche tolle Skills durch die im Laufe des Spiels sich einen mehr und mehr Möglichkeiten eröffnen. Doch nicht nur im neuen Kampf und Skill System setzt Origins der Reihe neue Maßstäbe, sondern auch im Historischen!
    Es macht einfach Spaß durchs spielen so viel über die Ägyptische Mythologie zu erfahren und Sachen wieder zu entdecken, die man einst in Geschichtsunterricht gelernt hat.
    Man könnte meinen das Spiel wäre perfekt, doch leider merkt man, dass es sich immernoch um ein Ubisoft Spiel handelt. Tausende Fragezeichen verteilt auf der ganzen Map, man weiß garnicht wo man Anfangen soll.
    Viele dieser Nebenmissionen und Open World Events machen echt spaß, fordern dich heraus oder erzählen eine Spannende Geschichte, aber dann gibt es noch so viele Belanglose. Rette ihn, bringe mir das und so weiter, teilst sind diese Nebenmissionen echt mühselig, darum Frage ich mich warum Ubisoft diese nicht einfach völlig rauslässt.

    Nothing else to be said.

    I want to say that Ubisoft made a really great game in 2017! I liked the setting that I always wanted to see in AC game! But the bad thing is that there's lots of grind and the map is also really big which is cool

    Quite a surprise. Ubisoft finally listened to the critics and made a pretty good AC game after a long time. The map is so big, the gameplay takes a long time play, because it requires grinding the main character to pass the mission. The graphics are great, Egypt is so charmingly presented.

    Poprilično iznenađenje. Ubisoft je konačno poslušao kritike i napravio dosta dobru AC igru posle duže vremena. Mapa je toliko velika, igra dosta dugo traje, jer zahteva grind glavnog junaka za prelazak misija. Grafika je odlična, Egipat je toliko šarmantno predstavljen. Konačno i sporedne misije imaju smisla i nisu dosadne. Mehanika borbi je dosta dobra i doživela je ogromne promene, mnogo novih udaraca je dodato.    … Expand

    After Unity, it's like a breath of fresh air, new mechanics and RPG-style gameplay, this is Ubisoft's best solution, trust me.

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

    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.

    First, the good:

    -THE STORY- I think it's the most important element of any AC game. Without a good story, the game falls apart, like I felt it happen to Valhalla, but for me Origins really delivered.
    -The Gameplay - First AC to adopt this new RPG style gameplay. First time i played it was amazing, second time, it was still great, but a little outdated compared to Odyssey or Valhalla.
    -Sound and music were good and the voice actors did a great job, especially for Bayek.
    -Visually, the game look great for 2017

    The Bad:
    -Too many locations and side-quests to do and it can get a little repetitive if you want to complete 100%.    … 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.

    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

    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

    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.
