Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
We have to say that on a general level we are really happy with this new chapter that wants to give something new but without getting too far off the tradition. A game that shows us breathtaking landscapes and an intriguing atmosphere. A story that moves between the pyramids, recreating the majesty of a beautiful kingdom on the one hand, and revealing a mystery behind a powerful Order. Only pity for the combat system, which remains a little woody, though much better than the past. Maybe one of the best Assassin's Creed ever went out; at this round Ubisoft has definitely hit.

With Assassin's Creed: Origins, Ubisoft has found an oasis in the desert. It's refreshing, blending sensible new mechanics with an established formula; moreover, it feels as though it was designed by a team with their eyes and ears open. The rulebook was far from thrown out, but it's been burnished to an impressive sheen, and this is the best the series has been since Ezio's heyday.
'Assassin's Creed Origins' sets a new standard for the series and will likely be the bar by which the features and failings of successive titles will be judged for years to come.
Do I think this is the game that's saved the franchise, yes I do. It needed a shot in the arm, the corpse of Assassin's Creed was starting to shamble around and lurch like a mummy rising from Sneferu's Tomb - AC: Origins is the best thing to happen to the series for a long while and I'm going to keep my eyes on what Ubisoft does next with the game. The future is bright, shimmering, like the heat-haze over the Pyramids of Giza. Only it's not a mirage or a false dawn, this is a new breed of Creed and the change was right on time.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is a worthy addition to the franchise and in my opinion, is among It’s best. I’d still have to say Assassins Creed 2 is my favourite, but Origins certainly has me excited for where they can go in the future. Ubisoft taking a year out after Syndicate was definitely the right move (I’ll admit I was wrong when I said they didn’t need to as Syndicate was a perfectly good game). I still say that I enjoyed Syndicate but Origins is by far a better game. If you’re a fan of the franchise then this is without a doubt a must. If you’re not a fan of Assassin’s Creed then unfortunately I don’t think this game is enough of a change to bring you on board (but then again if you don’t like Assassin’s Creed why are you reading an AC review?)
Assassin's Creed Origins is a gorgeous and well-realized world filled with danger and excitement in equal measures. A stellar return from hiatus for the franchise.
Origins feels more like an RPG set in the Egyptian times, which is as good as it sounds.
The world Ubisoft have created in Origins is a masterpiece and one I’m looking forward to immersing myself in further by mopping up all side missions, exploring each corner of the huge map and exploring the many tombs that remain hidden under the sand.
I found Assassin's Creed: Origins to be an excellent entry in the series providing a breathtaking and authentic look at ancient Egypt.
Assassin’s Creed is back in fantastic form, and Origins it’s a title that any fan of open-world adventure titles shouldn’t miss. Assassin’s Creed: Origins brings a lot of new ideas to a tried and tested formula, and while it downplays classic elements like stealth, it refines most of the core gameplay with expertise, creating a memorable experience.
Assassin’s Creed Origins offers besides some technical issues a brand new adventure with a functional open world. The new action rpg elements haven't been implemented that well but are definitely a step in the right direction and are supported by a great interface and upgrade system.

Moving away from the industrial sausage machine to a bespoke creation oozing with attention to detail, history, love and satisfying combat, Ubisoft is back in the ring, ready to take on other open world contenders.
Assassin's Creed returns with an entry that moves the series forward, but also goes back to the beginning of the Brotherhood. This new entry is a bit more of an action RPG, telling the story of how Bayek of Siwa becomes the first Assassin alongside a number of intriguing side quests. Combat is overhauled, but it's still a bit muddy when fighting multiple enemies. What absolutely does work is the world itself; Egypt is beautiful and the diversity in the environments is impressive. I'm unsure if Assassin's Creed Origins will convert anyone who isn't already a fan of the series, but it does what it does well enough to join the top of the franchise.
Ubisoft needed to recapture the magic that made the series great in the first place, and it seems it has done so. It's just all the quintessential problems within said magic tag along for the ride.
