Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
“Origins” is exactly what fans have been expecting from Assassin’s creed for years. The game is a combination of ideas from its previous titles and some notions from other games with similar genre which make it become one of the most unique Assassin’s creeds up until now. Splendid design of Egypt, roaming system, engaging main missions and notable graphics are all reasons why Origins is a respectful AC title.

Gameplay changes, while a little jarring to past fans, seem overall to have been made for the better, and the game plays like a more cohesive experience than ever before.
One of the better entries in the Assassin's Creed series.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins is that important, it may have not only revitalised the series, but it may just have saved it
Assassin's Creed Origins is a brilliant return to form for a series that had begun to get stale over the last few of it's annualised releases. With a vibrant new setting, great characters and the introduction of RPG elements i'd recommend this as a must play for any fans of open world RPG games even if they had previously not been a fan of the AC series. Major props to Ubisoft for realising issues of the past games and taking the time to get this one right. Delivering what is arguably the best Assassin's Creed game yet.
Assassin's Creed Origins is a masterful return to form from a franchise that some had considered to be on the slippery slope towards irrelevance. One of the finest games of the year.
Origins is a game full of flaws. With the exception of the environmental design, nearly everything could have done with an extra year of development time and a little more care and attention. And yet, Origins is more than the sum of its mediocre parts. I enjoyed most of the 40 hours I spent with Origins and I still have the urge to go back and tick off more boxes.
After putting in 70+ hours into the game and unlocking all achievements, it is easy to say that it’s refreshing coming back to a game on a different perspective of the series that’s never been touched, its origins.
It's probably the most beautiful looking game out there to date. The environment is so detailed that you won't find the same place twice. Too bad that the story is mostly boring and has no real twists or remarkable moments and it's a bit of a grind at the end. But if you enjoy the game you can easily spend 70+ hours by clearing all the side missions and hidden secrets.

As a whole, Assassin’s Creed: Origins really felt fulfilling. The gameplay was fresh and functional. The visuals and design are vibrant and outstanding.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the epic adventure that the series has always been building towards. The FingerGuns Review;
After playing all the Assassin’s Creed games and now having played Origins, I have to say that I’m not disappointed. I didn’t really expect anything in this game to be different except maybe the story line but Ubisoft rose to the challenge and crushed it with this game! Origins is a perfect starter game for anybody who wants to be a part of the AC franchise. Just know, that once you’re hooked it’s hard to get off.
The new direction to a more expansive role playing experience is a welcome change. I wish that the modern day story had been crafted to the same standard that the story of Bayak and Aya had been written. If you prefer to ignore the modern day aspect of the story, however, you might find that it keeps these portions short and sweet. I am beginning to really enjoy the new combat system, even though I have issue with its controls. Thanks to new skills and a range of weapons to experiment with, combat is always evolving close to the same rate as the player is developing their mastery. Really though, the most standout thing about Assassin’s Creed Origins is Egypt itself and the people who inhabit it.
Origins is a great game, it has a compelling story with attractive graphics and impressive environments; however this comes at a cost due to the high graphical demand of the game. Ubisoft has clearly tried to expand into new territories with Origins and it works in their favour.
The series of Assassin's Creed has decided to stop for a year after the release of Syndicate, to regroup and find a way to lessen the criticism received. The role-playing footprint is marked and appreciable with the leveling and the equipment's enhancement system that allows the gaming aspect to vary greatly.

Assassins Creed Origins is the best title in the series to date. With an intriguing story, an impressive open world and the best combat in the series, Origins is a game I highly recommend for hours of fun.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is raw in its brutality, but refined in its delivery. This is a new era of Assassin’s Creed and one that could serve as a strong basis for further RPG-focused installments in the series. It has re-emerged wearing the same trappings as other video game masterpieces while not losing complete sight of its own image, for better or worse. We have been reminded of the Brotherhood’s place in gaming and we are eager to see where this revitalized journey goes next.
Assassins Creed Origins is as big, beautiful and brutal as the version you played in your dreams, simply making it the best game in the history of the Creed. This is the innovation the 10 year old franchise needed, and the blueprint that the next 10 years needs.
At the end of the day, AC:Origins is an intriguing game. The extra time has allowed the developers to sort out some technical issues that have plagued the series while also adding in improvements. The story, however, is nothing new or fresh, and the structure has not evolved beyond the now familiar Ubisoft open-world recipe.
