Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
A revamped design breathes new life into the franchise. Origins is the start of something great.
Assassin's Creed Origins is exactly what the series needed. Changing up just enough elements to feel like a major difference in formula without ripping out the heart of the series, this is easily the best entry into the series in a long time.
Assassin's Creed: Origins is one of the best games in the series that was able to refresh mechanics and offer an amazing world exploration.

Assassin's Creed Origins is a step, or rather a jump in the right direction, although its core is just classic Assassin's Creed. Don't expect a revolution, only good, quality entertainment. And what other game allows you to slide down from the top of the pyramid?

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 tries to save the series from further falling down by taking the series to the ancient Egypt and adding lots of different new stuff including new characters and varied mission. It's still far behind the first two Assassin's Creed games, but it also feels like a new beginning for the series. All in all, the future looks bright.

For those of you who were suffering from franchise fatigue, Assassin's Creed Origins should cure your ailment. Ubisoft's increased development time for the game brought a gigantic open-world full of stories, exciting battles, and a loot system that have you exploring for dozens of hours.
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.
After a year's absence, Assassin's Creed is back and it has been reborn. And I'll happily admit that I've got egg on my face, because it's better than ever.
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.
Overall, Assassin’s Creed Origins is a beautiful game and it lives up to the success of Syndicate. It’s just that the present-day story needs a little more attention. Where Bayek’s story is the strongest part of the game, our modern-day protagonist’s story is very lackluster and just feels like it was added their as a requirement. One thing is for sure, this game is definitely worth playing. It revitalized the series into new heights and I cannot wait where the next adventure will take us.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the best possibile series comeback. With a gripping narrative and an amazing Ancient Egypt open world, Origins is a wonderful and unforgettable journey. The revamped light-RPG gameplay works like a charm and it's the perfect mix of the most iconic features of the series and a contemporary taste in terms of game design.

Beautiful to look at and packed full of compelling content, Assassin's Creed Origins ranks as one of the best entries in the series to date.
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.
One of the year's better action games and well worth some time in its scorching sun.
Assassin's Creed Origins is a return to form for the franchise, delivering some true iterations upon the formula for this latest installments. After a two-year hiatus, the latest adventure is one full of intrigue, delivering an appealing world which cries out to be explored. With a strong narrative that stands on its own, Origins is a game not only for series fans but a great starting point for newcomers.
As a whole, Assassin’s Creed: Origins really felt fulfilling. The gameplay was fresh and functional. The visuals and design are vibrant and outstanding.
In conclusion, Origins successfully adds to the franchise of Assassin's Creed by delivering something fresh yet similar. It plays like a treat on the Xbox One X and thanks to the 4K graphics is easily one of the most immersive titles as you explore Ancient Egypt and its connecting lands.
