Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
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.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the most in-depth and enjoyable title in the Assassin's Creed series so far, and ancient Egypt is the perfect location to showcase it.
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.
Assassin's Creed Origins shakes up the series' combat, loot, and progression, while retaining the atmosphere, impressive open world, and historical bent that has made the franchise so beloved.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins is not perfect, but it does return the franchise to a less tarnished status. While the game does not necessarily wash away the taint that stains Ubisoft’s reputation after Unity’s negative feedback, it does improve the overall stigma. The story immerses and intrigues, the characters are believable, and the bugs are tiny and negligible. As with most AAA titles, the graphics and audio are well-suited for modern consoles and PCs, and the gameplay is addicting enough to keep players interested. While the target-lock system is finnicky at best, the rest of the game’s aspects more than make up for that mild irritation. The two-year break between entries seems to have done Ubisoft well. Hopefully, the company will continue to stick to a quality over quantity model.
Assassin's Creed: Origins is a game whose content concerns raise the question as to whether or not enduring is language, violence, and nudity is worth the improved graphics and gameplay.
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.

After a year-long hiatus, Assassin's Creed returns with one of, if not, the best entries in the series thanks to its immersive Ancient Egyptian setting, engaging story and refined combat mechanics
It's one of the best Assassin's Creeds games I've played, and probably one of my all-time favorites right after Black Flag and the controversial AC III. This one was worth the wait. Now time to get back to exploring another ancient tomb!
Even if you've been away from the series for years, Assassin's Creed Origins is a great jumping-on point.
Very few games have managed to captured my attention and awe as much as Assassin’s Creed Origins. Despite having spent more than 80 hours in the game (40 to 50 of those spent only on the campaign), I am still inexplicably drawn back to the incredibly well realised ancient Egypt that the game provides. Simply put, the unforgettable and enigmatic ancient Egyptian setting is wonderfully brought to life through outstanding auditory and visual design. Coupled with solid, fluid and fun gameplay; and tied together beautifully with a captivating story arc and copious amounts of interesting and fun side quests; makes Assassin’s Creed Origins the best entry yet in the long running franchise.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the epic adventure that the series has always been building towards. The FingerGuns Review;
Assassin's Creed: Origins is far from being a bad game, but fails to achieve greatness as well. If Ubisoft would have cut half of the low-quality content, I think we would have gotten a much better game. While there's definitely room for improvement, I strongly believe that the Assassin's Creed franchise took a turn in the right direction.
In "Assassin's Creed Origins," history and the amusement park intermix and the result is thoroughly transporting.
I would have loved to have given this game a higher score, but I found a lot of issues with it from bugs to the things with the map and other small bits, although I did enjoy playing it because I am a huge Assassin's Creed fan. It's really big and fun, but the issues I listed and the changes they made aren't all great ones.
This is one of the most realized open worlds ever created in a game and Origins is easily a Game of the Year contender. If someone told me that at the beginning of 2017, I would’ve laughed in their faces and gone to play Black Flag again. Oh yeah…and players can pet cats.
Glorious Egyptian setting makes this the most potent Creed yet
In the end, Assassin's Creed: Origins is one of the best in the series and one of the most exciting action adventures of the 8th generation. The ancient Egypt setting is done perfectly to the smallest detail and it takes you on a memorable journey with a likable hero. Origins is a must have for long time fans or fans of Ubisoft-esque open world games

A delightful game, full of things today that are very much an Assassin's Creed game. However it's still far removed from what an Assassin's Creed game used to be - for some this is good; for others, less so.
