Assassin's Creed® Origins

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – A Masterpiece Reborn This isn't just another Assassin's Creed game. Origins is the rebirth of the franchise. It has one of the strongest stories in the entire series, with characters that feel real, driven by emotion and purpose. Bayek is a standout protagonist, and his personal journey is powerful and believable. The setting is stunning. Ancient Egypt feels alive and fully immersive. From deserts to cities to tombs, the world design is some of the best Ubisoft has ever done. Combat is completely reworked and finally feels like a proper action RPG. There's a good balance between story, side quests, exploration, and progression. If you gave up on Assassin's Creed before, this is the one worth returning for. Did also 67/67 achievements.

The discovery tour is really cool and clearly made with love and care. Shame about the game it's attached to, though. Only worth it on the very biggest sale.

It's quite clear that this is a big-budget game—one where the developers invested more money than heart. Visually, the game is impressive and the gameplay is mostly solid. The world is vast, with a reasonable amount of mostly empty desert (less than in real life, and scaled down appropriately for the game). There's definitely a lot to do, including some immersive side quests. A completionist could spend a very long time in this world. However, if the game doesn't capture your interest early on, it can quickly start to feel like a chore. Issues I encountered: * Clunky and unintuitive melee combat * Poor level progression: the gap between levels is massive—even more so than in typical fantasy RPGs. When weapon levels are factored in, being just two levels below an enemy can feel insurmountable. That might make some sense in a fantasy setting, but here it feels especially out of place. * Main quest is locked behind high level requirements * In-app purchases for cosmetics and "time-savers" (in-game currency) * Ubisoft Connect is mandatory * Upgrading gear (essentially just scaling it to your character level) costs the same as buying new gear * I sniped the crocodile antagonist, but the Siwa girl who fought beside me in the arena remained loyal to her for some reason—forcing me to kill her * Despite the high budget, flashy moves, and realistic graphics/physics, the gore is laughably unrealistic. A heavy sword to the face results in a smear of unrealistic looking blood. I'm glad I bought the game at a significant discount. I’d only recommend picking it up if you're really into ancient Egypt or if what you felt was missing in previous Assassin’s Creed titles was fantasy RPG-style level progression and looting.

Origins has a good mix of both the traditional parts of the Franchise and the expansion into the RPG type games. As someone who isn't as invested into the franchise, its good for people like myself who simply want to explore the historical setting, in this case, Egypt in the times of Greek and Roman rule. The story is quite interesting but can be quite time consuming in regards to advancing further in. Sadly Eagle vision isn't in this game. Overall its pretty good. 👍

LOL @ Ubisoft login and launcher, just horrendous experience overall, from trouble logging in (why do I need to log in to play a game I bought on steam??), to random launcher caused crashes, to server outages that prevent me from playing?

I liked this game less and Odyssey but it is still phenomenal! The setting and Museum mode is really cool.

9.2/10 I must say, as the first installment in the reboot of the AC series, as well as the first in the Mythos Trilogy, Origins really has quite a lot to offer. It changes the traditional way of playing, directly to the ARPG type to design the overall game, full of strong mythological colors and fascinating ancient Egyptian scenery, with a detailed and rigorous examination of history, the system in the game in every aspect of the meticulous details. And along the way in the journey, a variety of side stories have a high quality, or funny humor, or touching. These side stories have reached the high standards of RPG games, and play a vital role in supplementing the story and expanding the worldview. The main plot is also good, and as a story about the ins and outs of the origins of the Assassins and Templars, I think it's still quite impressive and has some depth to it. By the way, I think Bayek is really a very noble man, and I always think that if we had a few more Bayek in the real world, then the world would be a very good place. Of course, Origins has some of the flaws of the traditional AC series, such as the inevitable feeling of routine, looking at the large open world map full of question marks, will produce a sense of fatigue of homework and quests, and this is thoroughly amplified in Origins; the combat system is relatively shallow, and at times it will feel rather monotonous; and for us who have been playing from AC1 all along, for many veteran players, Origins removes a lot of classic gameplay and interesting gameplay mechanics from previous installments, which may be fine for new players, but is a shame for many veteran players. And I still think that the AC series can never go back to the peak of the Ezio trilogy, Origins to me is already like a different game, although the title is still called “Assassin's Creed”, but the whole style, connotation and flavor, have all changed. When I think of Odyssey and Valhalla...Ubisoft is just doing what it does best: "copying" and "pasting". However, regardless of the flaws, Origins is generally a very good game, including its two major DLCs, which are also of high quality. I still highly recommend it.

Really fun to play. Probably one of the best AC Series. The Basegame is already a good experience but for more there is also the Season Pass even though its cost 40€.

Honestly speaking, the map of AC Origins is really massive. There are so many things to explore. The controls are easy and simple. Although it tells the origin story of the Assassins' organization but still it lacks some OG Assassins' related missions like eavesdropping. It is very violent game with action sequences going very bloody. Story is good, graphics are very good. Game elements are good. Protagonist can literally climb anything in the world fr.

came back to this one after a couple years and was instantly reminded why i don't buy ubisoft games anymore... just pirate the game you'll have an easier time with that than uplay.

What the hell! Nothing is getting saved in this game. Game is not saving any progress or accomplishments at all!

AMAZING GAME!!! Just finished and it was an amazing storyline with a really great combat system. ANOTHER AC W

The controls are a little different than in older Assassin's Creed games, the graphics are amazing, the combat effects are great, the treatment of Egypt and the characters from Egypt are good and you can climb the pyramids. The story was great. I simply recommend it.

I just finished the main story, it's peak, the environment is pretty, the graphics are good, and the gameplay is OK, with cool assassination animation and combat is perfect. The thing is, it gets repetitive because the missions are always the same: kill or assassinate all the time. But the game is still great to play. I recommend getting this game now. It gets cheap during discounts so I suggest to wait one fr.

The game was great when i played it on console. On PC I hit a point maybe 12 hours in that whenever I jumped into the water the game would crash. The fix I had looked up was rolling back the driver updates, This helped very slightly and the issue still persisted it just took a few more seconds to crash. At this point I stopped playing it for well over a year, Today I figured I would give it another shot after many driver updates later. The game now no longer makes it passed the loading screen before crashing. Ubisoft is ASS, I've had more problems with any of their games than time playing them on PC. I'm also playing on a completely vanilla version, no mods.

I liked the setting and the story so much in this AC. Ubisoft kind of lost me with the dlcs that really broke my immersion. Other than that this game was a solid 9/10.

This was the first Assassin's Creed game I played after the Ezio trilogy. I wasn’t exactly thrilled about Ubisoft shifting the series toward an RPG direction, but I eventually got used to it and ended up enjoying the game after spending some time with it. That said, I still prefer the classic Assassin's Creed formula. The old-school stealth-focused gameplay and tighter narrative structure just feel more in line with what I loved about the series in the first place.

I liked the game , after returning to the AC games after a long time , this was my first , loved it , but story is a bit slow at first and then they rushed it thus for me it lack edge , so if you like side quests and exploration with good developed main actor like Bayek this is a game for you. Odyssey is next !

It's a perfect game. The only thing I would change is to make it have a multiplayer option because I want to do nothing else but run around ancient egypt with my friends. Is it too much to ask? GTA6 but Ancient Egypt

Game is ok, accompanying software is not (ubisoft connect features don't work)

A Ubisoft work of art. The setup, the characters, the atmosphere - I love that it's dark, but I hate that there are kids involved. Bayek is a great character. The first DLC is pretty bland and short, the second is impressive and better than the DLCs of the sequel (Odyssey). If it wasn't for Kassandra, this would have been my top 1 AC game. The achiviements were hard to farm, but it was fun!

quite good for AC franchise.. hardest difficulty "nightmare" is too easy, as long as you keep your level around that of the enemies (being underlevelled leads to getting onehit). the nightmare boss battles are nightmares tho.. you have to fight for a couple of minutes against enemies who kill you in two hits and have magic abilities, aoe attacks and are sometimes immune to interruptions. youll get the boss down to 20% after two min of fight without taking a hit, then he goes overcharge and just does everything 50% faster to just onehit you. enjoy that shit..lol

Every assasins creed after from this game sucks anything before is p e a k

the game is okay but those side quests are so tedious and repetitive - totally waste of time to clear them all

I LOVE this game. It awakened a long-dormant fascination with Ancient Egypt and this game truly delivered on the feeling of becoming a bit of an archeologist and adventurer. During the game, you really get the sense that the studio worked their asses off on making sure their research was mostly accurate. The tombs all have very specific items in it that are set up the way a real tomb would, the towns and cities look very accurate (except for a few minor artistic liberties for the sake of gameplay) and as a whole, this game is just absolutely gorgeous to look at. Though, I was a little disappointed with how they handled the ending. It did feel a little bit rushed compared to the first half of the story. But it was still all worth every penny of the 7 bucks I paid during the christmas sale. This game definitely gave me a great first introduction to the AC franchise and I look forward to playing the DLC and AC Odyssey after that.

Na to že je to nový formát a úplne nový príbeh, som si hru veľmi užil.

After over 100 hours, I have finally completed everything in the game and the DLCs and earned every achievement. I can now confidently say it was very worth it and a joy to play from start to finish (or, almost start -- those hyenas wrecked in early game...) I absolutely loved exploring Egypt, and I will miss Bayek... but that just means I’ll be back to replay.

I loved assassins creed from the first instalment, but its losing its spark. peaked at black flag and never hit it since. 5/10

The game itself is good, not worth the full price though. What's "bad" about this game is that the secondary quests are pretty much useless, having all of them completed from a specified location before going to the main one only helps with a little bit, one, two levels at most and the "story" at the secondary objectives is bland.

best game ever! great fighting and parkour. just wonderful game already 60hrs and still alot to do, i want to get all achievement wish me luck

Its alright but there are better open world games, this is a typical big dev effort to emulate Witcher 3 elements when it didn;t really need to - just do Assassins Creed and build on 4. That would have been better.

It is a wonderfully immersive game with a great story line. I highly recommend.

I recommend this game however Ubisoft is so bad at coding or doing anything correctly that I can't reinstall it. Maybe if they obtained real humans to code their games then I wouldn't have to move my sounddata folder into my C drive or maybe I wouldn't keep getting disc write errors when trying to download it literally anywhere.

RPG not the classic stay hidden, push 1 button kill 4 people at once type of AC. But you can play that way by maxing out your assassin damage.

Game is good, Ubisoft isn't, homepage ads aren't, finishing this game cz i got it by mistake. never gonna buy Ubi games ever again

I like the Graphics and Main Character. The RPG System was kinda azz ngl and the story had me shakin my boots at many points but overall recommend it by extension 10/10

*ignore the steam record my xbox has over 150h good: the move to open world assassin's games is a change i love. it adds much adventure and it fits considering your essentially an ancient egyptian ronin. this game started the trend of 3 ability trees stemming from an isu bloodline, and it's actually really fun. it also introduced individual weapon & armor pieces with rarity grades, as well as legendary perks which is a welcome change. everything about this game is great. bad: not necessarily bad, but fighting gods was fun. silly, but fun. what made it really a stretch was when it wrote them off as an "animus glitch". it'd be cooler if they went all in with it and were actual beings like in odyssey. this game was a test run for a lot of whats in odyssey now. story: the story shows the origins and founding of the hidden ones, later the assassin's brotherhood.

Played all the AC games, they switched the formula to a rpg style. not as bad as the later ones, great story but the start in the end of AC games. bittersweet.

Story and game play was amazing throughout.

I would 100% recommend this to everyone who likes the Egyptian culture, is curious about it and wants to live it !!! The 'Discovery Tours' are something which I did not think I would enjoy at the beginning, but they were surprisingly very informative and fun to do. One of the best entries in AC series !!!

In my opinion the single best Assassins Creed game. I might be biased since I am in love with ancient Egypt, but nevertheless this game is amazing. The world has a soul, the missions are diverse and the depiction of Ancient Egypt is accurate, yet features some sci-fi elements (I won't spoil them in this review but the twist on the Egyptian mythology is amazing and captivating. I won't recommend getting this game at full price since it is an old title, but if there's any discount whatsoever - BUY IT. I promise you, you won't regret it.

Bought the game heavily discounted and so it was really a good experience for little cash. The world and structures are amazing, but if you really complete the map it gets repetitive and a bit boring. Regarding the main story it wasn´t really the most captivating and emotional one for me but it wasn´t bad either. So if you can grab it on sale I can recommend it.

One of best AC games I played and best RPG game on the franchise, Story and exploration of ancient Egypt is engaging as well as the character development of the main character (Bayek) is also great! The combat s and assassination system is appreciable......

100% in 73.3 hours I recommend this game when its on sale but don't buy it full price for it being a 8 year old game, It does have its fair share of bugs most noticeably during my play through I got stuck on anything and everything some times the only solution I found was to reset my game. Some textures and hair/cloths glitch and fly around in at least half of the cut scenes for me, And its not a assassins creed game without the unreasonable amount of fetch quests, my god they are so unnecessary, oh go 1300m into the desert with no fast travel nearby? talk to this guy for 3 seconds now go run 1000m in the other direction say hello to this other guy, NOW RUN ALL THE WAY BACK AGAIN and do some laundry list of a task. Stuff is so spaced out for some quests you will be annoyed But over all I paid no more than 35$ I think for base game and all the DLC's, Yea I had fun, Yea I enjoyed playing it, And yea I'd recommend it when it's on sale.

I loaded up this game thinking I’d be an assassin. Turns out, I became the most dangerous parkour giraffe in ancient Egypt. I didn’t just play Origins. I lived it. I climbed pyramids I had no business climbing, I accidentally headbutted hippos, and I spent way too much time petting cats while entire empires crumbled around me. Bayek isn’t just a character — he’s my brother now. His story is emotional, raw, and somehow still feels like a warm hug in the middle of a brutal revenge mission. Also, photo mode. Let’s talk about it. I fought a crocodile, paused mid-fight, took a selfie, and then immediately got clapped because I forgot to dodge. Worth it. Egypt is beautiful. The world is massive, the sunsets are illegal levels of gorgeous, and every guard in the game was apparently trained to spot me from three pyramids away while I’m crouching in a bush. 10/10. Would fight hippos, climb the sun, and cry about Bayek again.

An rpg version of the assassin's Creed. From playing assassin's Creed up to syndicate,ya gonna need some time to get used to. But somehow I like it a bit..

Love everything except the combat, just not my style. I prefer the old combat style from back in Black Flag and Rogue. But additional extra things like eagle and mounts (camel/horse) were nice

At first I only bought the game because as a historian to me it's mandatory that I play both this and Odyssey. In the end, I only confirmed one bad expectation that I held before buying, which is the bad combat (I put the game on easy because of it, it's so bad I wanna skip it) and the RPG mechanics (everything being blocked behind levels is bs). But all the rest is very good. Bayek is the first enjoyable character since Ezio and Edward. The story is very cheesy, but it can be enjoyed. Most characters are forgetable, specially Aya, but Bayek makes it all worth it. And Egypt is perfect in this game, there's diversity, beautiful cities. Most equipment is bad designed and look like holywood bs, but I came to appreciate the Egyptian Hedj outfit, even tho it still has pants (the og costume is so damn ugly, first time I hate the OG look of a AC character). Anyway, it's still worth it, good game.

Beautiful game, excellent storytelling. Exploring ancient Egypt is so cool! Bayek is a compelling character.
