Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
Whether you’re looking for a fascinating trip through history or one hell of an action RPG there are few games out there better than this one.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey may have went bigger in terms of sheer size, and Valhalla has gone on to further improve and enhance the flow of combat - but there's no doubting that Origins' majestic setting, its characters, iconic locations and sense of mystery, have yet to be topped. With some absolutely belting DLC to get your hands on once you've wrapped up the beefy main campaign here, this is one game that we absolutely urge to you pick up on Xbox Game Pass. If you've already played it, it's worth jumping back in here for the 60fps upgrade, and if you're coming to this one new, well, prepare for an almighty Egyptian adventure.
A refreshingly new Assassin’s Creed though it does add in a problematic level/gear system, it’s still extremely enjoyable even if there’s the specter of microtransactions looming over it.
Assassin's Creed has been perhaps the best known franchise for annual releases.

The best Assassin's Creed experience in years
Assassin’s Creed Origins is one of the best Ubisoft games of all time, if not the best. It's able to harmonize a big story with an innovative gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Origins takes the series in a new direction with more RPG elements and it's better for it. The game has a huge map with an incredible density of things to do which will keep you busy for well over 100 hours. It looks amazing and especially those playing on an Xbox One X hooked up to a 4K/HDR TV will not believe their eyes at how simply gorgeous it is. The production quality here is off the charts and I can't help but look forward to where the series might be headed next. But for now? I'll gladly dive back in for a NewGame+
With The Hidden Ones, Ubisoft has already delivered a decent expansion for Assassin’s Creed Origins and hopes to repeat that trick with The Curse of the Pharaohs. This time around however the focus is on Egyptian mythology rather than the Creed.
Assassin's Creed: Origins is the best videogame ever released in the saga. A reinvention on the gameplay with a deep plot and the best start they could have given to the assassin's creed franchise.

An amazing game overall that incorporates everything that the fans have been asking for - Improved graphics, a new gear system, an updated UI and HUD, completely redesigned fighting and stealth mechanics, and so much more.
Assassin's Creed: Origins is the best game in the series, but it's a mediocre action RPG at its core. In this sense, it both succeeds and fails at being a much-needed franchise shakeup.
Assassin's Creed Origins has the best gameplay and story of the franchise. Even with a few problems, it successfully reinvents its formula and delivers one of the best games of the year.

One of the better entries in the Assassin's Creed series.
As a soft-reboot, Origins establishes what this reviewer hopes to be a precedent for the series. A stronger focus on the historical settings impact on gameplay is a definite step in the right direction, but Ubisoft still continue to bog their title down with unnecessary elements intended to provide longevity to their game. There's still a need to break away from the remaining restraints of the franchise. Without the resource grinding and MMO level progression, Assassin’s Creed Origins could have been the best in the series yet.
“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.

Origins provides a much-needed change in direction for the Assassin's Creed franchise.
For those out there with lingering apprehension about gratifying their Creed cravings with Ubisoft’s latest addition to ever expanding line of Assassin’s Creed (AC) games, have no fear as Assassin’s Creed Origins easily puts to shame the last few bland and “samey” AC titles. I kid you not, this installment to the series has been redefined in a way that almost separates Origins from the series altogether. For the most part of my first few hours of gameplay, I didn’t feel like I was playing a Creed title – I liked that. Origins doesn’t reek of the traditional, rapidly deteriorating Assassin’s Creed game mechanics that felt like they were clinging onto the series by nothing more than fraying nostalgic threads in the last few games. No, instead the series feels profoundly like it’s found a fresh lease of life and in light of it’s forebears and where the series was headed without a serious rethink, this undoubtedly had me breathing a distinct sigh of relief.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins is that important, it may have not only revitalised the series, but it may just have saved it
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.
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.
