Assassin's Creed Origins Reviews
Assassin's Creed: Origins is not something that makes you fall in love with it and change the game for the AC franchise but it certainly is the beginning of good changes.

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.

Assassin's Creed Origins changes genre to action RPG and that is exactly the direction in which it should follow. One of the best open world game on the market.

There is no reason to doubt that Assassin's Creed Origins is one of the best entries on the series in recent years, important changes on combat and progression systems fit well to the game and the representation of ancient Egypt is outstanding. However the game has some of the weaknesses of past games: bugs and lack of creativity on its challenges.

Gorgeous and addictive game, which not only looks spectacular, but also plays really well. If this is the start of a new trilogy, we can't wait to see what's next.

I could wax on about Assassin's Creed Origins for a long time. For all its foibles it's a staggering achievement, and most certainly the best the series has ever offered alongside Black Flag. Those who prefer the dense city networks of the original games may bounce off it a little, but for anyone even remotely interested in the prospect of The Witcher and Assassin's Creed crossing paths, this comes highly recommended.
Without a doubt the best Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag – and right up there with the best entries in the entire series – Assassin's Creed Origins is a top notch open world title. Egypt itself is the star of the show, Ubisoft having meticulously crafted a stunningly detailed and varied landscape, but outside of the setting, a parade of gameplay and design improvements make this the roaring return to form that the franchise desperately needed.
Ubisoft Montreal's Egypt is a special and spectacular thing; a place worth visiting and exploring even if it weren't home to heroes and villains
Assassin’s Creed Origins is the breath of fresh air that the franchise so desperately needed. It genuinely feels like Ubisoft took the time to really think about where the franchise was going and address the concerns that we’ve had over the last couple of versions. The combat is wonderful, the effort put into making Egypt feel authentic and interesting is everywhere you look and Bayek is a strong, emotional and sometimes flawed character that you truly root for.
Origins absolutely achieves Ubisoft's goal of bringing back their flagship franchise with a bang.
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 gorgeous and well-realized world filled with danger and excitement in equal measures. A stellar return from hiatus for the franchise.
Assassin's Creed Origins is a modern work of art. Aesthetically it's a masterpiece, but while many elements of the franchise have come leaps and bounds in the last couple of years, other parts remain stagnant. It leaves a far more exciting legacy in its wake than previous games, and demonstrates Ubisoft's true abilities when given the time to create something truly inspiring.
Assassin's Creed is one of those franchises which started out strong but after a few games the shine began to tarnish. I'm not sure what state Origins was in when Ubisoft decided to give it extra time to iterate, but it was clearly time well spent. Origins is exactly what the series needed to make it new and wonderful again. It's not perfect, but it sets a great roadmap for the future and the imperfections can be honed into something even more incredible.
Assassin's Creed Origins will take us on an extensive journey through Ancient Egypt to discover the origins of the brotherhood. Its excellent artistic section, together with a renewed and well developed gameplay, shows that large projects require slow cooking. The wait has been worth it, as Origins is what you always wanted to see in the Assassin's Creed franquise, which we ventured to say, is already its best title.

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.
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?)
A brilliant setting, new systems, and familiar features blend together for a strong prequel to the Assassin's Creed series.
