    Super fun game. I really like all things pew pew, so the fact that this game has kept me engaged is promising. I would give it a 9 except for a few glitches that annoyed me. Great game and probably the best single player game I've played all year.

    scripted. there is a system in the game that when you die somebody can have a mission to avenge you... and it strange but sometime it feels like the game force you to die.

    Someone needs to remind Ubisoft that bigger/more ISN'T better. This game follows the same pattern as every ubisoft game ... a billion side quests with little to no relevance to the main quest and basically only 2 or 3 variations to these billion side quests.

Bayek as a main character was boring and I felt no emotional connection to him and the main story was so short. The entire game is based on its repetitive filler, the only reason I am even giving this game a 3 is because the combat is fun. MESSAGE TO UBISOFT: PLEASE TRY QUALITY QUESTS OVER QUANTITY… Expand

Really I'm mostly just enjoying seeing the sites in Egypt.

    Also, I'm glad they made the combat harder as well: near impossible to just take on 10 enemies on a frontal assault now, usually 3 is enough to cause some difficulty (playing on Hard setting).

    But overall it is still a AC game at its core, which I think is hard to really get immersed in due to the annoying "desynched" mechanic and modern world aspects. The devs here should just dump that old plotline and just go for an immersive RPG game in a historical setting without all the sci-fi modern day crap it just brings me out of the immersion. Until they do that this WILL be my last Assassins Creed game, unless they come out with 8K TVs that I want to test out...    … Expand

    It's fine. Could be better, could be worse. I wish the frame rate was 60 fps like MGS5, but other than that it's okay. The Ezio ACs were the best in the series, after that the AC games have been mostly coasting. They've played down the Animus story line, a step in the right direction. Ubisoft, time for some innovation and 60 fps on consoles, please.

Origins has all the open world camel riding wonder that I loved about Red Dead Redemption but the RPG elements limit the exploration, assassinations, and story. Let's start with my least favorite/most hated feature of this game, the grinding. Some enemies will be too high level for you to even attempt to fight, and this makes progress impossible until you level up. This is disastrously un-fun in an Assassin's Creed game. I don't want to run stupid side missions. I want to finish the game already!

    Even if RPG were removed entirely, the game has other flaws that are all the results of lazy design. You know those giant enemies often called heavies? Those 8 foot tall wonders litter the landscape. Some boss are 12 foot tall monsters that need 50 hits to take down. They also have several un-blockable special attacks that continue until the animation is finished. Remember when Assassin's Creed was about finding a path to the target and finding a path out? Now it's about boss battles. *unenthusiastic hooray*

    The map is also littered with the cookie-cutter bases that kind of ruined Batman: Arkham Knight and definitely ruined Far Cry 4. Worst of all, all that base attacking is pointless. Taking out bases and high level officers has no affect on any aspect of the game.

    The grind, Osiris help me, the grind! Not only do you have to grind to level up, you have to grind to upgrade equipment, which is really just another way of level up. Everything seems innocent enough when all you need is some animal hide or copper stolen from a transport. Then you find yourself killing hundreds upon hundreds of animals to upgrade an arm bracer. Which part of the animal are we using? The uvula? The goal is to take something interesting and make it as unfun as possible so you will buy materials with micro-transactions. This is sick game design and it does ruin the experience.

    As bad as the design is, there is a compelling and competent game here. The environments are vast and detailed. People go about their business as if they aren't NPCs. (Then you hear them say the same 4 lines with terrible voice acting and you're back into the video game.) Fighting also works well against normal sized enemies. The game has optional racing and gladiator challenges but I found these un-fun. You can also play optional "glitches" that have you fight enormous mythical monsters but I wasn't a high enough level to run any them when I finished the game. I will say this, when you finish, you will feel like you are finished. #gettingyourmoneysworth

    This all really a problem of expectations. I was expecting a Hitman game in ancient Egypt. Instead I had The Witcher III set in ancient Egypt only without magic and compelling side stories.    … Expand

    What a surprise, another mediocre AC game. Yes, the combat is more focused, along with the world they built. But the main story was so generic, and the side quests, although better than the previous games, felt repetitive. It's disappointing that this was the outcome of the extra development time.

    Avec le patch (presque) 4K (du 1800p), le jeu brille de mille feux sur la Xbox One X sans jamais faiblir et garde toujours en vue sa cible des 30 im/s sans coup férir ; les temps de chargement sont également fort réduits pour un monde aussi grand qui charge globalement plus vite qu'un Witcher 3. La seule critique qui nous vienne à l'esprit concerne la nuit mal faite, une sorte de "nuit américaine" avec une pleine lune qui brille comme un soleil et qui reste d'ailleurs toute la journée... un peu ballot pour une lune, très surdimensionnée d'ailleurs !



    Mais AC Origins a aussi remis à plat les combats et l'infiltration ainsi que toute l'interface elle-même : tout y est bien plus accessible et mieux pensé, plus efficace surtout dans le parcours et la maniabilité du personnage, très réactifs. Même les combats peuvent être comparés sans honte à la référence dans le domaine, à savoir le fameux Witcher 3.



    Tout est donc pour le mieux croit-on... jusqu'au moment où l'on bute sur un choix de "design", c'est-à-dire les niveaux de notre personnage. Ce n'est pas nouveau dans les jeux Ubisoft de cet acabit de proposer une progression par niveaux qui permet de gagner des points et de débloquer des compétences. Ce qui est nouveau, c'est d'avoir découpé les parties de ce monde égyptien selon des prérequis précis en la matière : des zones sont à 30, d'autres à 25, d'autres à 40 et ainsi de suite...



    Cela bloque déjà le joueur de facto et dénie toute liberté de choix et de mouvement... dans un monde prétendument ouvert (?) mais ce n'est pas tout, car les missions principales héritent de prérequis elles aussi : on s'aperçoit alors qu'avec un retard de 4 niveaux ou plus, il nous est impossible d'accomplir la moindre mission principale sans se faire péter la gueule.



    Impossible d'assassiner un +4 par exemple, car l'assassinat devient une ""attaque furtive"" ; quant au +5 ou plus, ils ont une tête de mort sur eux, ce qui signifie qu'ils peuvent vous liquider en un coup... quand tout ce que peut leur faire notre cher assassin ne consiste qu'en quelques éraflures !



    Bref, vous l'avez compris : il faut farmer sa mère pour "accéder" aux missions principales dans de bonnes conditions, ce qui implique de farmer des activités très vite répétitives et copiéés-collées sur toute la putain de carte gigantesque ! Au bout du énième camp à nettoyer, de la énième statue à fracasser, du énième papyrus à trouver, de la énième tour à escalader (encore ces putains de tours qui servent de voyage rapide ici !) du énième trésor à ramasser, on en a marre...



    Ce ne sont pas ces dizaines (ou centaines ?) de "quêtes" annexes qui vont changer le train-train d'aller délivrer un connard... dans un putain de camp, hélas ! Malgré ces dialogues et ces nombreuses cinématiques pour chacune des quêtes annexes, leur caractère creux n'en est que plus patent et consternant, surtout que l'écriture est d'une beaufitude et d'une naïveté affligeantes. Et plus on y passe de temps, plus on avance (très laborieusement) plus on zappe tous ces dialogues et ces pseudo-histoires -y compris la "trame" principale complètement nulle à chier- plus on se rend compte que ce soit-disant jeu de rôle est une arnaque totale qui n'a rien à dire -sauf de la merde- et qui n'a pas d'autre but que de vous faire acheter des "XP boosts" si vous comptez le finir... un jour !



    A côté de cela, le héros Bayek a une tronche de cake et l'ensemble des protagonistes qu'on peut croiser sont transparents et sans aucun intérêt. De toute façon, il faut farmer tout le temps et pour tout, y compris pour améliorer son équipement : il faut en effet se procurer des peaux et des matières premières et on en voit pas le bout, ni la putain de fin...!



    Voilà qui est donc étonnamment décevant et très irritant. Dans le Witcher 3, on peut mettre de côté tous les à-côtés, je dis bien "tous" et se concentrer sur le plat principal et ne pas se retrouver avec des niveaux et des niveaux de retard ! il manquerait plus que ça... Ubisoft a donc oublié le caractère optionnel du farmage de crevard pour le rendre obligatoire.



    Quel dommage, car la jouabilité est bien faite, le jeu est très beau mais les mécaniques sont celles d'un MMO immonde qu'ils ont meublé comme des cons avec du remplissage débile à en dégueuler partout : ça nous fera donc juste 1 point, finalement !… Expand

This is probably the strongest point for AC Origins - you get to explore Egypt of 2000 years ago. The world is packed with history and beautiful locations. It's obvious that the developers put great effort in creating this game - I strongly recommend looking up videos on YouTube that show all the tiny details that create a realistic environment.

    Although this is an open world RPG-style game and you can choose where and what you do next, I strongly recommend the following in order to achieve full story immersion:
    When your main quest takes you to a new region do the following:
    - Complete all the secondary quests first.
    - Complete the main mission.
    - Explore all the remaining locations in the region.
    The bad things:
    - For a time there was a major issue with the draw distance but since 2 patches ago it was mostly fixed on Xbox One X. Still, the draw distance should be increased further.
    - Audio bugs. Many NPCs would repeat the same exact thing over and over again. This is not such a big deal but when you are in a location where there's lots of NPCs it becomes too much.

    I rate the game 9/10.    … Expand

Overall this is a game about checking the marketing boxes to make the business happy.

    You play as Bayek through most of the game but suddenly, in the middle of the game, you switch to Aya for 1 mission. Then back to Bayek until the very end where you're forced to play as Aya some more. Looks like she was added to allow "multi character" play. The missions are boring, she is pretty much useless, you lose everything you've spent the game building up and there is no point in it. Must have been a marketing thing.

    Same thing with the "ship" sequences. Clearly the Black Flag devs wanted to add ships. The problem is the sequences are short, the gameplay is bad and there simply is no fun in them. Checked another marketing box.

    The game advertises RPG but they completely missed what the RP stands for - role playing. Yes you level up, yes you select your abilities but it has no impact on anything. It is just a gating system that could have been left off and nothing would have been lost. Even the leveling is messed up. Supposedly you should be able to use the levels to tell the areas that are easy and those that are hard. The reality is that you'll be facing people several levels below you and they will stomp you for no reason. Some enemies seem to be able to block any attack. Others seem to never miss and do a huge amount of damage or stun you in place. The result is most battles play out the same way. The leveling system really doesn't change anything.

    The story itself is inconsistent. In 1 mission you're saving crocs for a god. In the next you're killing them for no reason. Towards the end you're on a fast pace to kill someone. Suddenly you decide to stop and bury someone for no reason. You've spent the entire game watching folks die and now you're interested in stopping your years long quest to bury somebody??

    Fortunately the modern area stuff is very limited. Since Desmond was removed it seems like they just make up new people and situations to justify adding the modern stuff in. You can quickly skip the sections and nothing will change about the story. Nobody cares anyway. The only future stuff that does get in the way is when you finish an ancient mechanism. You're then forced to endure (i.e. cannot skip) a monologue from the future that just goes on and on. I used these times to take a break, make a snack, etc. When will Ubisoft realize nobody cares about the mangled storyline they think is so important?

    Bugs continue to exist. If you leave the game running and just hibernate then most times when you return the icons don't render anymore or you get the infinite load screen. This has been partially fixed in the latest DLC but it still happens. Speaking of icons does Ubisoft not have any UI folks on staff? What genius felt that white icons on a yellow desert map was a good call. It is almost impossible to see in map mode. Black icons or being able to turn off the desert background would have easily solved this issue. Color contrasts are a UI-101 issue. Additional bugs include killing captains outside their fort and the game doesn't give you credit, enemies fighting from tops (or in tables) and graphic tearing.

    While there is no MP forced at you in this game there is still social interaction forced down your throat. I don't remember giving Ubisoft permission to record or advertise my game but if I die others can see where. If I take a picture (useless by the way) then others can see it. This is a violation of my privacy rights Ubisoft. I don't care that player X died in this spot. I'm not going to avenge them unless I accidentally click on them because you try to hide the fact that it isn't part of the single player experience. The option to completely disable recording my death or my pictures and publishing it to the world is a serious need. Privacy is under my control, not Ubisoft.

    Then we get to the elephants. Clearly this is a call back to the legendary ships of Black Flag. Nearly impossible to defeat without either a lot of time or some questionable gameplay. They are there just to show you that Ubisoft can create enemies for which the leveling system means nothing and all your abilities are useless. I was in the middle of fighting one of them (not the one that got fixed in the patch) and it auto-healed. That's 10 mins of my life I'll never get back. The reward isn't worth the effort. We'll see if they scale to the newer level limits.

    Is this better than the recent entries - yes. Is it in the top 5 of Creed games - probably. Is it in the top 3 - not by a long shot.    … Expand

    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.
    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

    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.

    This was a solid rehaul for Assassin's Creed. It adds light RPG adventure elements similar to Destiny. Combat resembles Dark Souls more than Batman: Arkham Asylum. Also, there is loot management, a skill-based tree and XP points. You'll have to level up before traveling into certain areas in the map. The setting of B.C. Egypt is quite cool and the storytelling is solid. "Origins" may notThis was a solid rehaul for Assassin's Creed. It adds light RPG adventure elements similar to Destiny.

    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.

    Egypt and star Bayek make this a promising forebear to a new age of Creed.
