Assassin's Creed® Origins

The world looks stunning, with diverse and detailed environments, but the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive. The combat lacks depth, and the level-up system feels unnecessary. New skills don’t add much to the experience, making progression feel meaningless. Even the story and side missions, which seem interesting at first, lose their appeal due to the lack of engaging gameplay. Despite its visual beauty, there’s little reason to stay invested.

I find Origins a very refreshing take on the Assassin's Creed series, some would say the gameplay is repetitive and they wouldn't be wrong for saying that, but the greatest pleasure for me in this game is exploration, the wonderful, exotic ambient and the beautifully crafted soundtrack. Bayek is a great, multi-faceted character who turns his path towards vengeance into something greater that would forever leave a mark on history. I heartily recommend the game.

I only got this for the Ancient Egypt Discovery Tour and never played the actual game. It was worth it.

The world is massive, the story hits hard, and exploring ancient Egypt never gets old. Combat feels great unless you count leveling. (Thanks level 45 boost) Only downside? That 50 silica grind for 100% achievements. Spent more time raiding tombs for shiny rocks than actually being an assassin. But hey, totally worth it… I think. Would parkour up pyramids and question my life choices again.

(Follow [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42150626-Jarl%27s-Game-Treasury/]my curator[/url] for more reviews like this) AC: Origins was the game that pushed the series into a new direction after people were getting tired of yearly releases that all felt similar to play. In some ways, it succeeded, in others, it didn't, but overall it's a great game that I enjoyed enough to play all its DLCs and hunt down all achievements. The game sends you to Ptolemaic Egypt, where you play as Bayek, a guardian of the country who ends up founding the precursor of what would later become the Assassin order. Your journey leads you from Greek cities like Alexandria to ancient Egyptian religious centers like Memphis and Krokodilopolis. The world design is excellent, you get to visit many historically important locations and they're all gorgeous to look at, and you can climb all the way to the top of every building in good old Assassin's Creed fashion. The variety of environments is great. Greek cities, ancient Egyptian temples, valleys of ruined monuments, and later in the game Roman forts as Caesar establishes a foothold. The landscapes are just as varied as the architecture: the fertile floodplains of the Nile, rocky and sandy deserts, forested hills, grand mountains. Exploration is the game's greatest strength. In a surprising move for an Ubisoft game, it's actually very playable without markers. I played through the entire game with the interface set to minimal, only using quest markers when I couldn't find a quest location myself. Most questgivers will give you simple directions where you need to go, which lets you solve the quests without having to follow markers. Sometimes there are tracks in the sand to follow, and other visual indicators like that. I'd say about 70% of the game's quests can be solved entirely without markers, the rest is vague enough that you'll need to check them - still, a pretty good track record for a modern AAA game. Speaking of quests, the writing of the side quests is pretty solid, and many quests are inspired by actual historic practices of ancient Egypt. Several quests are related to mummies, one even has you investigate mummies that have been improperly preserved and you need to find the person at fault. The only problem is that the quests are completely linear and can't be sequence broken. If a quest requires you to kill an officer in a fort, that officer will only spawn once you accept the quest. If you already cleared the fort before, the officer wasn't there yet, so you have to go back and clear it again. The silliest example was a quest where I had to retrieve an ancient artifact from a pyramid. I had already been through the pyramids and looted all the treasure, but the one quest-specific chest only spawned after I took the quest, so I had to return into an already looted dungeon to open a chest that hadn't been there before. It's just silly. Now for the questionable parts: the biggest difference to older AC titles is the introduction of "RPG elements". I'm putting those in quotation marks because it isn't a real RPG at all - in fact, it's the greatest misunderstanding of what an RPG should be that I have ever seen. There are experience points, levelups, and a skill tree, but the implementation has several problems. While the skill tree has some interesting choices that can change your playstyle, leveling up itself is designed in the worst way possible. Being higher level inherently raises your damage and health by a significant amount, and enemies who outlevel you are pretty much unkillable HP sponges. The main RPG mechanic of this game is that numbers get bigger as you level up, and tremendously so. The biggest problem is that unless you have the interface set to full (which I didn't, as I prefer playing with an unobtrusive minimal interface) you can't tell what level an enemy is, so you'll attempt to fight a bunch of soldiers and figure out they're ten levels higher than you by landing thirty hits barely dealing damage, then they kill you in a single strike. Levels are the most important stat in this game, far more important than any of the skills you invest points into, or any of the equipment you can upgrade. The level system really is the game's greatest drawback. While I like RPGs that have zones of different levels, where you enter a dungeon that's too hard for you so you make a note to return later when you're stronger, I don't like it when levels give inherent bonuses to a character. I had the same problem with Divinity: Original Sin, where being just a few levels higher than any given enemy would make them trivial to defeat, while being just a few levels lower would make them almost impossible. Same here. To make things worse, your hidden blade now deals "assassination damage" and if the enemy has too many hitpoints, your stealth attack won't be an insta-kill, which makes it completely impossible to even attempt a stealth approach for high level enemy encampments. The way levels work is that each province has a level zone: one province might be level 15 to 20, another might be 30 to 35, so all enemies in there will be in that level range - with a few exceptions of higher level forts in low level regions. There is no visual difference between a level 3 and a level 30 enemy, it's literally just numbers. They have the same character model, same equipment, same behavior. It's such a waste of potential because the game does have different enemy types in different regions, and later in the game Romans arrive who wear different armor to the local Hellenistic military. It would have worked much better to have all Greeks be of the same strength, and the Romans of higher strength, but alas. Strength is solely determined by numbers. Such a massive waste of what is actually a decent RPG system, because many of the skills in the skill tree are genuinely fun to unlock, giving you some wonderful horizontal character development rather than just dumb vertical number go up. Particularly the utility skills you can unlock are fun to play with (poison darts, fire bombs, etc). Combat is also different from the earlier AC games, now playing much more like an action RPG. You got regular and heavy attacks, can parry enemy strikes, dodge out of the way - it almost feels inspired by Dark Souls style combat. Overall the combat is solid enough to be fun, but of course not quite at the level of a proper soulslike. I prefer the counter-based combat of the older games, but this is by no means bad. Except when you get into a boss fight. Those are terrible and feel completely out of place in an Assassin's Creed game. Despite these issues, it's a very enjoyable game, particularly for the exploration. There's a lot of detail and many cool things to discover. A nice little bonus is the Discovery Tour, which gives you guided tours explaining the history of the places in the game. It's quite wonderful, and can be used as a genuine educational tool. I was a huge fan of ancient Egypt as a kid, and would have loved this. If you have kids and want to get them interested in history, this Discovery Tour mode is perfect for that. If you don't mind the horrible "RPG system" bloat, I can thoroughly recommend this game. Plenty of content, gorgeous environments, fun stealth, decent combat, only marred by a flawed leveling system. This game has two major content DLCs, which I reviewed [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/jarlfrank/recommended/662350/]here[/url] (The Hidden Ones) and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/jarlfrank/recommended/662351/]here[/url] (Curse of the Pharaohs).

This is the first of the AC games which started the whole shift from the original AC style to more open world rpg type. It is the base on which the future games are based on. Tbh, even though it is the start of this kind in AC, I like it most among the others. The next 2 games were just filled with filler slop, even this game is to some extent, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. Absolutely stunning open world, plenty of different biomes, minute attention to details, fun stealth, plenty of engaging new mechanics and skills, decent story, and lots to do. The DLCs are also pretty damn good. Especially the after worlds of the dead, such beautiful environment. I have no complaints about AC origins whatsoever. Possibly my favorite AC game, at least top 3 I would say. Now for some of the stuff I don't like. It's not about the game but the shitty ubisoft connect. Pretty much every ubisoft game I own, I have them on both platforms. Ubisoft connect & Steam coz ubi always delayed releasing them on steam. I got them on steam to complete my collections and when they added steam achievements for most of their games. And like all their games, the actual total playtime doesn't carry over to steam from ubisoft connect. Which is absolutely infuriating. More often than not, the save files from ubi to steam aren't the up to date ones either. The best and most useless solution I found to fixing that is installing the same game from both ubisoft connect and steam. Start the game from ubi first just to make sure that you have your saves files up to your most recent play through. Then go play from the steam one. Once ubi connect syncs your saves, its good to go with steam. All achievements and stuff carry over except playtime which I hate. Ranting aside, please give this game a try. It starts of a bit slow, but gets real good real fast, once you get out of the starting town.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is a deep-dive into a stunning era of ancient Egypt, with a well dsign of the culture, genuine characters. The first assassin game to implement RPG mechanic, and it´s quite awesome, in some reviews you hear about some bugs I personally just found a little and minor ones. One best assassins creed ever made, you can even feel the heat of the desert in you. Enjoy this beauty!

The narrative is painfully slow and lacks depth, failing to be interesting despite the rich historical setting. Main character is too one dimensional revenge trope and you as a player can’t change that in any way, making his actions somehow feel hollow and forgettable. It doesn't help that the emotional impact of significant events, such as character deaths, is undermined by poor cutscene direction and execution. Side characters are underdeveloped, often reduced to repetitive quest-givers with no meaningful arcs, although many of them have a potential to be very interesting. Repetitive melee mechanics usually devolve into mindless button-mashing or bow spam until you or all enemies are dead, usually the latter. To be fair, there might be an amazing twist in the end which makes it all worth it. I could not complete the game, as it just turned into a never-ending tedious grind towards the next main objective, which makes me really sad, honestly, as the world it is set in is one of my favorite periods in human history.

Cringe dialogues and trash combat system

ubisoft just plain sucks nowadays black flag was the last great game they made i hope the company fails and gets taken up by someone who actually cares to make good content

I really wanted to play the game and i really wanted to enjoy it but guess what? I can't The game either freezes or crashing after the first cutscene CPU-AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz GPU-GeForce RTX 4070 Super Ghost 12 GB RAM-Viper Venom 32 GB DDR5 These are my specs so i don't think i have a issue running this game From what I've read on the internet there is a issue with Windows 11 but I couldn't find a fix I'm not a big fan of AC, but i really wanted to play this one because of the location and environment. If there is anyone that know how to fix this, please leave a comment how to fix this. Thank you guys.

good. The scenery and architecture of ancient Egypt are all within sight. The disadvantage is that the enemy cannot be easily assassinated

The world looks beautiful, I'll give them that. But the actual game play is clunky, repetitive, and overall annoying. I didn't realize how bad it is until I switched to other games for awhile and compared the differences.

"I am fine with this. I am not a father anymore. I am not a husband. I am not a Medjay. I am a Hidden One." - Bayek of Siwa =================================================================== First Assassin's Creed Game, let's go! Even though chronologically Odyssey is supposed to be the first, starting from Origins was a good decision for me. The reason is simply because I love Egypt and its history, and to add the cherry on top, Origins also has Greek and Roman (which histories I also really love) intertwined in the story. The Gameplay is pretty good in my opinion, but the lack of button for running kinda annoyed me a little bit. The Environment and how you climb/parkour are intuitively designed, so I rarely had any difficulty in exploring the nook and cranny of the world. The Combat is fine, and the Stealth is also fine... Like, I didn't actually expect much and I got just enough to familiarize myself with how Assassin's Creed Game works. The Story is really good, and I also learned a lot of the History of Egypt (including the ancient ones). The overall Experience is okay, not that great but also not bad. It's just that sometimes I found things that made the Game feel "not expensive enough". Like for example, the Optimization for the Game Performance (though pretty rare) was sometimes pretty bad. I'm saying this because I've played other AAA Games with better Performance in the same PC/Laptop, not to mention some of the Games were from older times. I think I want to try Odyssey next, but we'll see. As this is a more "recent" Title of Assassin's Creed, I am kind of afraid to play the older ones (like Black Flag, or especially the first one), because the Gameplay might most likely feel more clunky than Origins. But hey, there's nothing wrong in trying. =================================================================== I'm gonna give this Game an "Assassin" out of "The Hidden One".

played for 4 hours and now i can't launch it cause ubisoft says i doesnt own the game.... WTF game was fun but ubisoft can suck my balls

The world is sick as fuck, Bayek is cool too, other characters meh. Gameplay doesn't really feel like assassins creed anymore. you might have more fun if you forget that it is associated with assassins creed and just pretend it's a cool Egyptian action adventure game with some rpg elements. 7.8/10

I finished this game today after playing for about a week consistently. What once felt like " uh, this will take an eternity to complete the final mission " became " wow , this was/is such an amazing journey "

This is my top two AC Games along with Black Flag. This game is the most balanced of the the new styles of AC games, the map is just the right size, it aesthetic and design is breath taking. the leveling system is good not to easy or grinding, you can play the game with out of side quest but they are fun. the combat was fluid required you to learn fighting patterns, when to dodge, block or parry. the story was good and engaging it was longer than fps but not 60 hours plus which was good. The DLC followed the same pattern would recommend picking them up as well.

UBISOFTCONNET IS GARBGEEEEEE, ALWAYS SIGNING ME out, gOD FROBID u PUT ur Passsword in wrng 1 time now ur account is compromised u HAVE TO CHANGE UR PW OR UR JUS LOCKED OUT ALL UR SHIT, other the that game is great one of the better rpgs in the series, fun game play-wat ever story. ubisoftconnect is jus a nightmare. barley worth the head ache

Game itself is very optimized, very appealing to eyes, mechanics are fine but not as good as Odyssay. I hated the story, and tthe fact that i can't save it manualy, But still, i did like it the graphics. i can say it looks much better than Mirage from 2024.

Maybe the game is good, maybe not, I couldn't actually launch the game, Ubisoft Connect is awful, I returned the game after googling and failing to launch the game after 1 hr. If you buy this try to play instantly, DO NOT THINK YOU WILL TRY IT LATER. Using Ubisoft Connect is like taking a gamble, maybe game will run, maybe it wont. It's your luck.

this game is really really good, so much to do, such a fun story, beautiful world... Kinda weird ubisoft removed heka chets tho

Should have known better than to buy an ubisoft game with their revolutionary cookie cutter gameplay

There are very few positive things about this game. It's a beautiful game where its a pleasure to walk/run through. The weapon variety is good enough to make the combat interesting and fun, but there is where it ends. The content itself is just copy/paste over and over you cannot walk for 1 min in this game and have a thing to do but sadly its either an exploration "quest" or a combat quest which are resolved in the same way. 1. Use your eagle (senu) to scout the treasure/enemies. 2. find the treasure / kill enemies or a combo of both. 3. rinse and repeat. I played this for 45 hours to see if anything was going to change but it does not its just a grind with stronger weapons against stronger enemies its not interesting at all. I don't even know how i lasted this long in retrospect. Yeah i do know the world itself is beatiful enough to keep you traveling in the game, but sadly every encounter you have is just so similar its unbelievable how they can sell this. There is very little to no variety to it. If you like tiktok scrolling maybe you will like this game it has the same shallowness to it. There is also way to much hand holding in this game, the game is just too safe to be a challenge, you either have the player level to clear an outpost / area or you don't and seemingly similar enemies are impossible to defeat. Also every quest basically has a checklist to see how to complete it and with the reward known beforehand. Playing this feels like doing chores, the grind is real and there seems pointless to do so. I think its sad because talented people worked on this, its beautiful there is a lot of detailed content and if you want to explore an ahistorical version of Egypt this could be worth it for you, but if you look closely its just to shallow. If you buy this you will pass the refund time very fast because it can grip you easily for 10 hours which where enjoyable, but after that it just goes downhill and it feels so wastefull to make such a big world filled with useless repetitive content.

Beautiful egypt map best AC game Good stealth play & Story line Give it a try in Sale.

Like with Odyssey this is a great game that had some growing pains due to being the first in the RPG line up of AC games. However it is still a wonderful experience and has some really nice characters and story. Pros - Game world if tight Story is nice and adds to Hidden ones backstory Combat is serviceable if not janky sometimes Stealth is fun and if you enable insta kill stealth in options is best method Expacs are nice Cons - Ending feels slightly rushed and barely fleshes out final targets Some map objectives are just bloated with a few too many (Loot 1 chests) Sides Bows can become so OP that they replace the hidden blade Travel can be long if you're not interested in side content Final notes - Is a good game and I do recommend it to anyone who loves Egypt and AC.

waste my money on this game and can't even play it because of their stupid contract what's the point of a fucking single player game if i could even fucking play it

I really thought that this was the last "true" assasin that has been developed by Ubisoft. I was partially right, but it is still the worst transition you could ever imagine. The fact that the game totally switched from the normal stealth and assasination game, to basically an RPG where the grind is more of a thing than it would be in god forbidden MMORPG, I really am disappointed by the game. It is also fun that you are basically thrown into the action, with almost no proper explanation of what is happening and why exactly. Up till now I think the coolest part about the game is the visuals, and I have heard about its NPC system that is quite smart. Apart from that, I tend to be more disappointed, and would have rather bough AC4, because that one was surely fun as hell. Honestly, if you are a new school assasin fanboy - welcome. If not - do not buy it, or buy it with the biggest possible discounts.

Game doesn't want to lauch yet I have all requirements needed to play the game and no troubleshooting method works.

This is a really good game. It is a pretty good assassin's creed game with added rpg element. Felt like I experienced elements from The Witcher 3 game, and because I loved the Witcher 3, I love this as well. It was a surprisingly good combination of the assassin's creed formula with witcher like rpg formula, and the story is pretty decent and the main character(s) is pretty likeable. Could really better the camera work during combat though ... I can't count number of time the camera during combat screwed me over either by clipping through walls or not following the enemy I am locked on ... 9/10 still

I guess it was interesting when it released but right now this game is boring for me. There are moments when I like Bayer, when he shows his emotions and moments when canonical assasins's creed music sound with great speeches but there is so small amount of time of such intereseting content

I finished the game just a short while after the release of the highly anticipated AC Shadows (Released 8 years later), and I must say that The Origins aged very well from the audiovisual side as well as very charismatic main protagonist (probably one of my most favorite in all AC universe). The Atmoshpere and Enviroment is Excellent and only annyoing side of this game is the frequent artificial level cap which block your progress and force you to grind EXP with side missions but from other hand most of side missions are fun so it does not hurt that much and I would recommend this game to all fans of history.

So its a decent game, nice open world, nice story, and ultimately the assassin experience is there, despite the additions of RPG elements. I do enjoy using Senu to carefully plan a route into restricted area, and slowly take down the entire zone with stealth. Although I do think that the leveling system is a bit grindy, especially if you are going into dlc which have higher level. If you are like me, rushing to play other games in list after finishing this, I do recommend using the Boost to 45 after you finished base game main story, or you could enjoy the scenery while grinding high level gear and abilities. Another thing I not so liking is some boss fight is forced, where I think they should just allow for assassination, or make smoke bomb enable a stealth attack.

+Beautiful graphics and very optimized +Fun combat +Good main quest +Very large map +Beautiful and varied environments +Fun parkour system +Great stealth +Great cutscenes for main quest +No bugs -A lot but (mostly) boring side quests -Good part of map too empty -Game too easy -Boring weapons -Boring perks 8/10

This is where it all began Hidden Ones. Bayek & Aya awesome duo. Definitely one of the best of the Ezio Triology. Lot to enjoy and the desert is WOW. Definitely Recommended on the origins and the Symbol of Assassins!!!

8.5/10 - already logged a good amount of hours & will log more for sure! fun open world egyptian RPG. first of this genre for the ACC community so it made peeps freak out but i actually quite enjoy the plot, quests, & mechanics. odyssey is definitely the better game though.

fun and exciting not overwhelming like some other titles

Assassin’s Creed Origins Assassin’s Creed Origins delivers stunning visuals that bring ancient Egypt to life. For a game released in 2017, the environments—from majestic pyramids to bustling markets—are beautifully crafted and feel incredibly. The combat system is dynamic and tactical, offering a greater challenge and variety. Battles feel smooth and satisfying. Overall, the game is an amazing experience with an immersive world and an epic story that will surely delight fans.

Very cool game. Looks good. Sounds good. Good story. Just had a lot of fun playing this. Very large world and grows exponentially with the 2 DLC's. The mixture of fiction and history, I thought, was well done. And there is even discovery tour which walks you through the city and gives a history lesson for those who want to see it. Very cool stuff and alot of work. Boss fights were solid, though a bit repetitious at times, and there are alot of things to discover, side missions, and main missions to do. It took me around 107 hours to get through them all. But can anyone tell me what fuck is up with them damn boaters. You get in the water and they come rushing over and run you over constantly. Sooooo annoying. Other than that, the only other problem I had was 3 achievements not dropping. So if you are trying to get them all, just be prepared as it seems like a thing that up to 8 different ones may not drop. Still, very fun game..

good game really loved the egyptian world story is cool

TL;DR: The graphics, environment, history, and ambience is great. But the story, characters and some gameplay elements are more meh, especially when compared to some of the best in this series. +Ubisoft servers suck and Discovery Tour is cool if you're interested in the history. ------------ It was enjoyable for me overall despite certain peeves. The game is beautiful. I love the different parts of Egypt that you can visit and explore and how varied the regions can be, from large cities, to the lush Nile regions, or rocky mountains and hot deserts. It also feels alive. The environment isn't flat (on higher settings) and there is movement and life everywhere. Fish in the waters, various birds and predators and prey in each location. Considering Odyssey is the next game, I was a little disappointed to find so much Greek/Roman in my Egypt. I had been hoping it would have been set more in the Old Kingdom. That said, I enjoyed exploring the tombs of the pharaohs and the details included in the architecture (coloured reliefs and buildings) and language of the characters (Ancient Egyptian included in some words used by characters and ambient dialogue). The game did feel good to play as there were various such details I noticed which increased my enjoyment of the environment. The main story was just ok, but the other elements make up for that and it was still interesting to see the origins of the Brotherhood even though parts of it did feel a bit off/forced to me. It is different from previous AC games with it's RPG elements and levelling system, but I personally didn't mind this since it didn't interfere with my usual playstyle which is to complete as much as I can in a region before moving on. You can still go wherever you want, but you just might not be able to easily face the enemies or do the side missions if you don't meet the level recommendations. This game did have more open combat though than I expected, it makes sense that some enemies might just be more aware and detect you so I was ok with that, but don't think any of the main story targets should have been like this, especially if the game forces you to use a character you don't use for fighting the entire game and can't upgrade in 2 late game fighting sequences against strong enemies. It has it's share of minor bugs and glitches but not enough to ruin my experience. What did annoy me though (and I'd warn anyone to consider whether they want to risk the game being unavailable when they want to play before purchasing), is the issues with Ubisoft servers. On at least 2 occasions, I was unable to launch the game because the servers were down and one of those times my game crashed while playing and I was unable to relaunch. The first time I was confused and tried signing in to Uplay directly and through that discovered that was just not possible and actually Ubisoft servers were down and it wasn't just me (or just this game). I understand technical issues can happen but in some cases it takes hours to resolve and I find it a bit unacceptable that there is no option to play a game I have purchased offline or without being signed into the Ubisoft launcher (which you also can't do if their servers are down). One last thing which I only played in the end for the achievement to see what it was all about is the Discovery Tour. I probably wouldn't have looked at this if there wasn't an achievement for it and it seems many people don't but I actually appreciate that this was included in this game. I'd kinda have to be in the mood for it to properly explore it but it's great for anyone actually interested in the history of ancient Egypt as it's condensed historical facts presented as an interactive experience which I think is really cool. Better than reading a textbook anyway :)

liked this game so much that i bought it on pc years after playing it on ps4 so I could replay it and get all achievements, love it!!

What a big letdown this game was... The world created for this game is as captivating as ever in this series, but it also rewards exploration poorly and game mechanics lack any meaningful depth. The game is also full of plot holes, most voice acting and cutscenes are soulless (devoid of any emotions) and the writing is poor, propably one of the worst ever (think of AC Liberation story telling quality). On top of that you get to play a game that is prone to glitches and bugs that were never fixed (unlike the most criticized AC Unity, which was way more fun than this). Overall, the game starts off promisingly, but if you want to get to the end, it's a bit like getting the flu: an unpleasant infection that lasts a long time and you just have to get through it somehow.

Story is quite boring but the game is overall really fun

One of the most enjoyable games I've played. The world is immense and detailed, and the main story is spectacularly epic. The historical reconstruction of Egypt under the Ptolemies and the Romans is fascinating and unparalleled.

Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, Best open world RPG style assassin greed games.

Khurva jó, Best. Got it out of boredom "accidentally". But it was one of the best choices. My first Assasins Creed game, I'm very impressed. And the Discovery Tour very entertaining can actually learn alot.

Fantastic open world. Story wise there were a few irritating feature points but a lovely game experience.

great and fun, rich story. 8/10
