    As beautiful as it is deadly, Origins’ Egyptian playground is finally everything you wanted the Creed to be.

    This is the best game in the Assassin’s Creed series. That extra year of development time has really helped Ubisoft find its creative centre again, and craft something that feels both fresh and energised. I could take or leave the shifts in gameplay to make this more like the loot-grind RPG-likes that dominate blockbuster game development now, but when Ubisoft is playing so beautifully within a fascinating period of history, all I care about is how utterly engrossed I am with the storytelling.

    Assassin's Creed Origins is a triumph, taking the series back to the beginning and allowing players to partake in the genesis of the war between the Templars and the Brotherhood of Assassins.

    Origins is a great game that relies heavily on its setting to make an impact on the player. Its gameplay also evolves, and although it still has some of the issues the series have been suffering in the last few entries, it’s definitely a step in the right direction. If you’ve ever been interested in the series, don’t miss this one.

    Assassin's Creed Origins has vastly improved combat and an astoundingly beautiful world to explore, but it felt a little afraid of going all in with its new direction.

    After taking a year off, Assassin's Creed is going through a transitional period and taking players back to the very founding of the Brotherhood in Ancient Egypt is symbolic of that. The vast new setting, the improved combat system and moving the series towards being a real action RPG have injected this series with a new life.

    Assassin’s Creed: Origins offers an engrossing and deeply satisfying open world in the lands of Egypt. Gorgeous visuals make it a lovely place to explore with rich environments. Still, the excessive amount of bugs at launch are devastating and hampered my experience significantly. Add to that a poorly paced narrative devoid of substantial character development and a battle system that fails to meet its full potential and I can't help but feel something important is missing, Regardless, Assassin's Creed: Origins has a lot to offer new and old fans alike - though the state of its technical performance at launch is highly questionable.

    Played for a couple hours I have no issues at all, everything runs smooth for me and the game has not crashed.

    Visuals are amazing, I love    Played for a couple hours I have no issues at all, everything runs smooth for me and the game has not crashed.

    Visuals are amazing, I love that you get flashback missions not just cutscenes when something big happens like killing a high-rank enemy, giving you a backstory to the point of why your taking down this high rank masked one etc. the map is quite big bigger than any AC universe and if you wanna 100% this game then it will take you some time.

    Struggling a little with combat I'm so used to countering then killing like all the other AC games if you think the combat is simple compared to the other games your in for a little surprise!

    YES! there is a Helix credit system, so for people who don't have time to grind can buy in-game currency to spend and some weapons can be unlocked via Uplay credits which are free to earn via your Uplay account anyway. I personally don't buy in-game content at all and only believe that if micro-transactions are on multiplayer games it is unfair.... for single player games the only things you buy with your real money for in-game currency..... if you even want to buy them only affects your personal experience for campaign, not like GTA Online, Battlefield, Battlefront 1 & 2 Loot Packs etc etc so for single player content i don't mind but I personally don't buy content from any game I play!

    Apart from that 10/10 definately an upgrade for syndicate and the bugged monster Unity!

    Would recommend.    … Expand

    Forgive me. I had to rewrite my review. Forget what I said, and down with the Nay sayers. Micro- Transactions, Loot Boxes in this game,Forgive me. I had to rewrite my review. Forget what I said, and down with the Nay sayers. Micro- Transactions, Loot Boxes in this game, whatever. None of that impacts the experience. I will probably be playing this well into next year. Best game I've played since Witcher 3 and Horizon 0 Dawn. Glad I bought it (Standard Edition). Will be buying all the DLC depending on the content. Do yourself a favor and get this game.… Expand

This is a fresh new start that has RPGThey have finally strayed away from the repetitive annoying missions that plagued the older games. This is a fresh new start that has RPG elements in it. I do not feel the side missions are grinding. the combat system is good, the enemies are smart and HARD. you can not counter everything and if you engage a group of people or even a person of 1 level higher than you, you will get killed.

    As it is a new game, there are certainly some glitches, but im sure a patch will improve it.    … Expand

    The best representation of Egypt I have ever seen on a videogame. Contrarily to what I though there are a lot of different and beautifulThe best representation of Egypt I have ever seen on a videogame. Contrarily to what I though there are a lot of different and beautiful landscapes and there is not only sand and Pyramids.

    The performance on PS4 PRO is really solid and the HDR patch makes it hard to forget, btw not a single bug on a 70 hr platinum playthrough.
    The gameplay is good, it never gets boring and the map is full with markers to discover.

    On the negative side, Aya, Bayek's wife, is the most unlikeable, plain and dead inside character on the franchise.
    The last 2 missions are just disappointing and there are also some "Ubisoft agenda" moments that are just embarrassing.

    Nevertheless a great game.    … Expand
