Aug 1, 2025
My Thoughts:
Assassin’s Creed Origins isn’t just a reboot — it’s a bold reimagining of what the series can be. Set in the breathtaking world of ancient Egypt, it trades stealth-heavy gameplay for a richer, more expansive RPG experience. And honestly? It works beautifully.
Bayek is one of the most compelling protagonists the franchise has seen, and his personal journey adds emotional depth to the sweeping historical narrative. The game doesn’t just let you play — it invites you to explore, to discover, to immerse yourself.
What I Loved:
The setting: Egypt is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Every location feels alive, from sun-drenched deserts to bustling cities.
The combat: More fluid and strategic than older titles. The shift to RPG mechanics adds depth without losing intensity.
The story: Personal, powerful, and well-paced. Bayek’s motivations are clear and compelling.
The exploration: Climbing pyramids, uncovering tombs, and finding secrets never gets old.
The progression: Skill trees, gear upgrades, and side quests are rewarding and well-integrated.
Minor Flaws:
Some side quests feel repetitive, and stealth purists might miss the old formula. But these are small trade-offs for a game that dares to evolve.
Final Verdict:
Assassin’s Creed Origins is a triumph of reinvention. It’s not just a new chapter — it’s a new identity. With stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and a heartfelt story, it earns a solid 4.5 stars. Nearly flawless, and absolutely unforgettable.
