Assassin's Creed® Origins Reviews

Terrible audio quality. I genuinely don't know how this game got away with such diamond compressed audio. Turned me off from the rest of the game.

An atmospheric and true-history-inspired masterpiece. 10/10.

Recommended. Long time fan of the series. Origins looks amazing and plays great. The gameplay is fun as always, with a decent story that kept me engaged. The graphics and scenery are brilliant and it has ultrawide support right out of the box. (3440x1440) I didn't encounter any bugs during my playthrough. A strong addition to the series.

I Don’t Recommend This Game Let me be clear: Assassin’s Creed Origins isn’t a bad game on paper. The combat system is solid, the world design is gorgeous, the story is passable, and the cosmetics are polished, pretty much what you’d expect from a modern AAA title. But then Ubisoft does what Ubisoft always does: they drown the good stuff in a sea of repetitive, shallow content. This has been their formula for years. From the first Assassin’s Creed to Rogue, it was all about bloated collectibles and pointless loot. Then from Unity to Syndicate, they doubled down by stuffing in copy-pasted side missions that feel more like chores than quests. Now with Origins, Ubisoft decided to crank that formula up to 11. Yes, it's bigger and prettier, but it’s also even more bloated. More meaningless loot, more filler side quests, more uninspired objectives. It’s exhausting. It's like they measured content by the pound instead of quality. I bought this as part of a bundle, huge mistake. If you’ve played a few AC games before this one, you’ve basically played this too. Ubisoft doesn’t seem to learn, or maybe they just don’t care.

Assassin’s Creed Origins breathes new life into the franchise with a stunning reimagining set in ancient Egypt. The open world is vast, vibrant, and gorgeously detailed—every city, desert, and temple feels authentic and alive. Exploration is rewarding, whether you're scaling pyramids or diving into lost tombs. Combat is a major improvement over previous entries, shifting to a more skill-based, RPG-inspired system. Bayek is a strong and likable protagonist, and his personal story is both emotional and engaging. The new gear system, ability trees, and side quests add depth without overwhelming the experience. Some missions can get repetitive, and the level gating can interrupt narrative flow, but overall, Origins is a bold and beautiful step forward. A must-play for fans of open-world adventures.

Not feeling this. It isn't bad, but it isn't good. The fact it is 60$ means I cannot recommend. Maybe on STEEP sale. The vast majority of the game is helping random people which I don't really understand. And yes, you have to in order to level up to kill the main targets. The side quests are boring and freakin everywhere. I'm not sure if these are all the dumbest people on earth but every 100m some random dude needs to you save a life, move some heavy stuff, or escort some other idiot. You have to carry so many of them too, ugh. You can only track one quest at a time. You cannot kill things a certain level above you. I was tracking a target and a flock of birds flew out from the bushes, and instinctively I shot one. It literally flew at me and 2 shot me because it was too high level. So you can't kill a normal bird with a bow and arrow if it is too high of level... Combat is not very interesting. Witcher 3 which is years older does it way better, as do other titles. It isn't bad, but it is the same thing over and over. Headshots with bow or same number of melee attacks then parry/dodge. The different melee weapons have different speeds, so how many attacks before having to counter is about all there is. There is no main weapon. You have two melee slots, and it is all based on gear score. So essentially you equip the best fast and slow weapon you find, and you will constantly change weapons. Horse combat is not very fun. Skill tree is uninspired. Story is uninspired. Looting 5 gold at a time is annoying. Default controls of PC are laughable. Space is dodge. Alt is parkour/run. Shift is block. Bow and arrow is right click. Works like that except on a boat... in which space bar is to go fast... The world itself is pretty. I feel like this game could of been amazing they just didn't thread it together right. Feels very hollow. I've killed so many people in 17 hours I don't think they would have any soldiers left.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is more than just a game—it’s a breathtaking journey into ancient Egypt, a living museum where every dune, temple, and bustling street tells a story. It revitalized the franchise by merging historical immersion with deep RPG mechanics in a way few games have achieved. The most striking feature is its unparalleled depiction of Egyptian culture and history. From the grandeur of the pyramids to the Nile’s tranquil banks, every detail feels handcrafted with care. The Discovery Tour mode even allows you to explore it purely as an interactive historical experience. Bayek, the protagonist, is one of the franchise’s finest characters—a man driven by grief and duty, whose journey leads to the birth of the Assassin Brotherhood. His story, paired with Sarah Schachner’s hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, creates an emotional weight that elevates the game far beyond typical action titles. 💡 Tip: Play it slowly. Wander the deserts at sunset, sail the Nile under the stars, and let the music sink in. Origins isn’t just a game; it’s an artful voyage through history that rewards those who take their time. ✅ Why Origins is uniquely special: Unmatched recreation of ancient Egypt (feels like stepping into history) Bayek’s deeply emotional character arc Masterful soundtrack enhancing immersion Perfect RPG-stealth balance, modern yet true to the series roots Discovery Tour mode as an educational, interactive experience ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑️ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑️ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh.. ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑️ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑️ Teens ☑️ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑️ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑️ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑️ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑️ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☑️ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑️ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑️ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑️ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑️ 9 ☐ 10

Ubisoft discarded its unique gameplay to become yet another clone of the open-world RPG genre. Overall, the story's premise is quite generic. Another revenge story, really? The open world is beautiful, but about as deep as a puddle. All the NPCs are just window dressing, as are most of the locations, houses etc. You can climb and jump around, randomly kill people, but what else? 99% of the content can't be interacted with (unlike e.g. in a Bethesda game). It seems like a facade for the "actual content", which is the enemies and the chests you can actually interact with. It feels like an amusement park with only 4 repeated attractions hidden behind lots of fake houses. The enemies and combat, while good, are fairly repetitive and boring. They simply get more HP and attack, but behave the same way. The combat doesn't change, which doesn’t help the fact that this game is fairly grindy. Gathering resources is fun for 1-2 hours maybe, a cool loop with feedback. But then you realize you need to slaughter another 30 hippos and 40 crocodiles and it gets old quite quickly. The actual story and villains, especially in the second half, make no sense whatsoever. Mostly, you don't really know who these people are and if and how they relate to the plot. It's just like, "in this region, there's this person X who's apparently evil, go find out who he is and kill him". I mean, I'm on a revenge mission, what does this person have to do with that? Why does anyone know this person is related to it? Is he even? Why am I suddenly hunting this order?

There was a time when computer games had a charm of their own and essence and every title felt different and original, in the recent years that charm is almost gone with studios stealing wining formulas and making the games we play almost feel identical. We've seen beloved series lose originality but this is not the case. With rpg elements and plenty of borrowed systems from other open world game Ubisoft managed to mix the old with modern ideas in fantastic game full of wonders.. mysteries and secrets. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3509088175 Assassin’s Creed Origins is a reboot for the series that showcase how Brotherhood was formed,rewinding the clock further than ever before we get to experience the captivating landscapes of Ptolemaic Egypt and experience the adventures of our protagonists Bayek and Aya. Aya is less playable than Bayek but her sections are more impactful and plays a major role in what will define the Assasins for centuries to come. Our story begins with the murder of their young son and is the trigger of a tale of revenge which sets in motion a relentless quest to find the killer. Bayek's skills as a warrior ,hunter and tracker are exceptional and fueled by rage and grief he expose a vast conspiracy from the Order of Ancients a mysterious organization that threatens to plunge the land into chaos. I don't remember last time i was so captivated with a single player campaign and i enjoyed every second of it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527959826 In terms of gameplay combat is no longer a counter based rhythm game,instead it adopts a hit box driven inspired by action rpgs. Every weapon as a unique attack animation and the talent trees for skills made me really feel i was playing a true rpg. Stealth is more refined with a better detection system and the Bayek's eagle friend Senu acts like a aerial drone scouting the field of battle. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3517057029 For me exploration is a key element in any game and here it was great..from hidden tombs,ruins or just natural landscapes the Ancient Egypt is portraited in a visual masterpiece. It's a world brimming with content, the large campaign of 30 hours is just a tiny part of this massive game. Gladiator arenas,the hippodrome and beautiful written investigation quests are just a few of the distractions that i can name,hunting was great and the map size was huge. Origins is a legacy in the AC franchise ,a fantastic game that made my list of goat games and i hope for a sequel one day..maybe in Rome.
