    Found Origins disappointing in terms of story and combat, but the open world is probably one of the best in gaming to experience. Combat feels clunky and not as smooth as AC Odyssey and Valhalla, and the story is really incoherent at times, especially toward the end. Bayak is cool but I could take or leave Aya.

    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.

    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

    I can't understand how people give the game 10's. When parkour is worse than Unity. The world is worse than Unity, and everything is worse than Unity. How can you put the game 10, when there is already an absolutely finished donation system. It's just not boring to play, because of this 4.

    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’m doing a play through of all the ACs and this one stood out for a few reasons. It was a vast improvement upon the open world concept in the AC franchise, and the storytelling is still pretty good.

It was a vast improvement upon the open world concept in the AC franchise, and the storytelling is still pretty good. However, this continues in the decline of a historical focus and pushes modern social critiques that really began in AC3. One example among many: We have *pale* toned Romans and Greeks calling Egyptians and Nubians “sand dogs” and Nubians and Egyptians acting like brothers in arms against occupiers, but Nubians and Romans were generally closer politically and socially. It’s little things like that which really pull you out of the immersive experience I’ve come to love about this franchise over the years. And it’s peppered through out the game. History isn’t black/white, however there are two tribes trying to tell us it is and it’s bled into what we used to use to escape. Super lame.

    The combat is fantastic! So much fun, and gruesome! Blood splatter and damage appears (perhaps not consistently or as evident) with ever successful strike. It’s not as smooth as Odyssey’s obviously, but still top notch. What’s not great is the weapons system in either game. I don’t want to constantly pickup, breakdown, or equip new weapons. I *want* new weapons throughout games like this sure, but come on. So **** boring. I’d rather have less crap like that and more traversal and dungeon design. Seriously, it’s Egypt… why are the pyramids and sphinx so damn easy to loot and complete? Such a miss, idk how it got out to shelves with boring af “tomb raiding.”

    This game is good to flush out the franchise plot… the one they abandoned… lol

    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.

    Pros:

    +Interesting plot
    +Good graphics
    +Good soundtrack & art style
    +Armor & weapons look and feel varied
    +Good voice acting
    +Parkour feels fluid & responsive
    +Cities feel lived in
    +Arena & racing side activities feel fun and are a good change of pace

    Cons:
    -NPCs keep repeating the same lines of dialogue
    -Too grindy
    -Sidequests follow the same predictable formula (starts out as something simple but then you're tasked with a new objective that sees you almost always killing a commander, saving someone, bringing an object,...)
    -Main story is too short & follows the same pattern for 3/4 of the game
    -Last section of the story feels rushed
    -Little activity variety
    -Combat feels boring after a while
    -A lot of the gear you receive is usually weaker than what you have on
    -Enemies on horseback are extremely annoying to fight on foot
    -Mounts move too slowly, specially inside cities
    -No visual indication to alert you if you can or can't parry a certain attack
    -Extreme level gating
    -A lot of the areas in the map aren't used in the main story
    -Most of the sidequests are forgettable
    -The true ending for the character is locked behind DLC
    -Animals are a bore to fight
    -Too much stunlock
    -Boss battles feel poorly balanced making them either too hard or too easy

    Overall, Assassin's Creed Origins still holds up in many regards, to this day, however, despite what many believe, the game's not the strongest one out of the RPG lineage of AC titles. Boring gameplay, lackluster story that's only elevated by the amazing performance from Bayek's (the main character) voice actor, tedious side activities, predictable structure and a world too big for its own sake, make AC: Origins a title that's good in its best & rarest moments and a chore to go through during most of the title's runtime. A typical case of quantity over quality.

    For those that were fans of AC: Odyssey, the game will feel like a (natural) step back, for those who liked AC: Valhalla, the game will feel like meeting a distant cousin for the first time and for those that are fans of the older titles in the franchise, there are some aspects that will intrigue you that are part of the core experience of AC, but it is a significant departure nonetheless. If you are looking for a lite-RPG set in ancient Egypt, with some mystical elements then I recommend the game.    … Expand

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.

    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.
