If you asked me to pick one underrated entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise, it would be Assassin's Creed Origins. First released back in 2017 as the tenth major installment in the Ubisoft series, Assassin's Creed Origins took players to Egypt during the reign of Cleopatra.
It was here that we took on the role of Bayek of Siwa, a Medjay who, alongside his wife Aya, seeks revenge for the murder of their son. As a result, they ultimately go onto found the Assassin's Brotherhood, hence this entry being known as Origins. Together, they battle the ever-present Templar Order and make history as our original assassins.
Praised for its setting, characters, gameplay, and story, Assassin's Creed Origins may have received mainly positive reviews, but compared to the likes of the Ezio trilogy, it did not build the same buzz. As such, it is an underrated gem in the franchise for me, especially as getting to the see the origins of the Assassin's Brotherhood was not something I ever expected to see.
With next year celebrating the 10th anniversary of Assassin's Creed Origins, by publishers standards, it is probably due a remaster. However, there is no denying that the game...
