Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4)

I shouldn't enjoy this series, but I do. It's pumped out nearly every year, and almost all of them are the same. But with that said, sailing the seas in Black Flag and meeting the figures of the Italian Renaissance are some of my favorite moments in gaming, and I keep coming back to this series hoping for that same feeling.After the dull Unity and overrated Syndicate, I wasn't expecting anything out of this one. I didn't care much for the setting either--I knew Cleopatra and Ptolemy, but what other historical figures really mattered during this time period? Well, maybe it's because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I love this game.The combat has seen a much needed overhaul, and it can actually get tricky at times. The setting is breathtaking as usual, and I want to know who at Ubisoft programs water effects because they are the best in the business. The story...eh, it's alright, but this series isn't really much more than an excuse to go on a history tour. Sidequests aren't much to write home about as they're usually either fetch quests or outpost infiltrations but they fill the gaps well enough.The main complaints I have are two things: holding the up button to "sense" treasure, and Layla Hassan. The treasure sense is annoying because guess what? You're gonna press that every five steps to make sure you get every treasure. Why didn't Ubisoft just highlight treasures instead of adding this annoying process on top? Either hide all treasures, or highlight all treasures, don't give us the in-between. Second, Layla Hassan is the most unlikeable person ever. She isn't tough, she's mean, arrogant and entitled. If a male character acted like her, I would hate them just as much. Everything in her backstory makes her out to be spoiled and obnoxious, but we're somehow supposed to identify with this awful person. Maybe it's a generational thing. Between the bland Desmond and the unlikeable Layla, I'll take Desmond. Unfortunately I'll have to continue seeing Layla's story unfold as I play Kassandra in the upcoming Odyssey.So to sum up, annoying modern character and minor gameplay annoyance aside, if you're a fan of the series, I would definitely recommend this game.

This game is probably the most free and open game in the franchise. From planning to execution of your plan everything you can do and plan on your own.. You get to play as Bayek.. A Legend. He truly is. Also you live his life in this game. It's a beautiful descriptive piece of art that goes beyond all expectations.. Also the rpg element redifined the combat style and the story makes you feel involved 24X7. Even the side quest are so thrilling.. This game sone complete game that every gamer aspires for. Its so involving and amazing that you just cannot resist even to buy the dlc.. I have played both the extensions of this game. The hidden ones dlc and the curse of the pharos also. This is not just a mere game it is much more than that.its a journey of thrill excitement and awesomeness. The combat is redefined and it is even more brutal and deadly. The boss fights make it even more fun to play. Grab this on your pc or console and play it. Enjoy this creative masterpiece of gaming througly.

this game has to be the best assassin creed game, with its wide array of weapon upgradability and the side missions you have to complete for certain weaponsit somehow manages to keep you immersed and encourages you to explore more of the unexplored world

Great game. It’d be fair to say that Assassin’s Creed has lost its way in recent years. The open-world series has fallen into the trap of repetition, with the likes of Unity and Syndicate failing to keep the formula feeling fresh and exciting. They were a mundane icon janitors propelled by a meandering narrative, too afraid to take any worthwhile risks. Now, with an extra year of development under its belt, Ubisoft has crafted the finest Assassin’s Creed in a long time, and perhaps even the best one yet, with an extravagant rendition of Ancient Egypt welcoming us with open arms.Our resident Assassin this time is Bayek, an ancient warrior pledged to protect the ruler of Egypt. Bayek is my favourite lead in the series yet, beating the likes of Ezio Auditore and Edward Kenway thanks to his tragic backstory, which he isn’t afraid to mask with humour, and a genuine care for others. His compassion is shown in how he interacts with civilians, befriends animals and only ever assassinates those who deserve it. Unless I press the wrong button – then he’s cold-blooded killer.The lavishly produced story sequences are the polar opposite and look phenomenal, making the aforementioned missteps difficult to ignore, especially when they occur so often. Origins maintains the iconic mixture of stealth, assassination and parkour platforming for which the series is renowned, but updates it in a way that’s fresh and exciting.

This is one of the best assassins creed to date in terms of action, controls, animation and graphics. Even the story is good with many side quests and gameplay mechanic. The game feels like an origin game, like you get the hidden blade only after few quests. So far spent 30 hours and I still have many quests left and many side quests. The map is large and content in it and it feels realistic. The stealth is a little different and the levering up system is quite good. The combat is amazing and you have control over it instead of some basic attacks and dodges like from the previous assassins creed. Overall this is a must buy game. The horses could be a bit faster though.TL;DR: Great graphics,gameplay mechanics,story and lots of worthwhile content.

My First assassins creed was assasins creed 2.. I got it as a gift and shelved it for some other time thinking it’s boring game.. But when I finally played it was magical and touching with the music and gameplay and hooked me up and since I love assassins creed.After that as you all know the series was going down mostly.. Now origins is out and it has breathed back the life the series needed much and it is good as hell.. Finally GOOD JOB UBISOFT 👏🏽 And Black flag team and Ashraf.The new combat system is good and the new quest system is definitely great.It seems the developers has definitely played Witcher 3 because the side quest are even nice rather than crappy quests from previous games in series.Everything is good except some frame drops here and there in ps4 though it’s not a game breaking thing , I hope it will be patched soon.Thank you Ubisoft for bringing back Ac to life.

Graphics are good.Story could be better.. Dialogues between the characters seem boring and monotonous..The desert, sand dunes are exciting in the beginning, but they seem exhaustingly dull later in the game.. everything is YELLOW.. very few green areas in the game..No dynamic weather.. it did NOT rain a single time in the game.. just desert everywhere..Controls are okay.. there are so many weapons, but hardly anything unique about them (or maybe the game never compelled me to change my primary weapon) .. you keep collecting so many of them, just to sell them later..Also, this game is like a casual game.. nothing really challenging in this game..This game does NOT stand anywhere in the league of the likes of GOW and RDR2.PS - I have never been a fan of AC series.. I always disliked them, but this game surprised me positively..This is deluxe edition, it contains a soundtrack CD and a physical map.

One of the Best AC Games till date:Beautiful open world setup and highly immersive game play.If you try to follow stealth approach when tackling your enemies you would thoroughly enjoy this game.Got around 10 hrs of playing this game and loving it so far.Some tips for players starting this game:1. Always loot your enemies and the places you visit - it would be very useful as you progress in the game2. Instead of upgrading the weapons you can keep collecting new ones throughout the game as you raid enemy camps and forts3. Don't skip the side quests - many of the cool weapons can be picked up when we do side quests4. Keep trying to upgrade your gear for maximum damage - I am talking about other stuff - not weaponsOn the whole this is a must play game for AC fans
