While it was a bit of a struggle to try and find out why this game would crash all the time for me, just capping your FPS between 60-100 FPS seems to get the job done, you may still crash from time to time however. That and some fps drops during cutscenes are the only problems I ran into. Besides that, game runs flawlessly. Its not fair to compare Origins to any AC games that came before, due to how different they are in nature, but this game has no right being this good. It easily ranks among the best AC games ever made, despite how different it may be to the previous entries. Egypt is genuinely an incredible map, probably the best one in all of the AC games, and not only is it fun to traverse and explore, but landmarks like Alexandria make you feel like you are inside of a painting. The story is very good too, this time we experience the creation of the Assassin brotherhood under the name of the hidden ones. Bayek is one of the most likable protagonists EVER in the entire franchise, and his character is further enhanced thanks to an incredible performance by voice actor Abubakar Salim. The rest of the characters are good too, but some of them just pop in and out of the story randomly which really doesn't help me care about them too much. Gameplay-wise, problems arise. Stealth and parkour have been butchered, it was a public execution. At least combat makes up for this in a way by being a lot more in depth than either stealth or parkour, but its a shame to see AC go further away from its roots. If you go into Origins expecting a good Assassin experience, forget it. What you WILL get is a very good, solid, exploration based action rpg. DLCs are ok. Just like the base game The Hidden Ones and Curse of the Pharaohs are both set in breathtaking environments but all they really do is expand the story, not much else. More Bayek is a good excuse to me. Deluxe pack comes with a bonus mission, so does the season pass. Horus and Roman Centurion packs are all cosmetics. 9/10

Whether or not you’ll enjoy this game largely depends on what you value as a player. If you’re looking for deep and well-thought-out gameplay, you’ll probably be disappointed, unless you’re a big fan of Ubisoft’s typical formula. However, if you love immersing yourself in an atmospheric world with engaging stories, this game could be a solid choice. One major strength of the gameplay is the variety of weapon types, each supporting different playstyles. You also have a lot of freedom in how you approach missions, which is refreshing. However, the mechanics as a whole are rather shallow and lack depth. Players who prioritize intricate gameplay and well-designed enemies might find it lacking, especially when it comes to the few boss fights, which are neither particularly challenging nor creative. As such, the game is more tailored to casual players. Even though I played it on "Hard," I never felt it offered any real challenge. Where the game truly shines is in its worldbuilding and the stories it tells. The world feels authentic and alive, making it a joy to explore and learn about the lives of its inhabitants. The only real drawback is the connection to the "Assassin’s Creed" franchise, which feels misplaced and out of place. It frequently pulls you out of the otherwise captivating world. A completely new IP would have been a far better approach than trying to reboot the "Assassin’s Creed" series in this way. This is arguably one of the best games set in an ancient world, showcasing just how much potential this kind of setting holds. Exploring the world feels refreshing and captivating, adding a unique charm to the experience. Another major positive is that Ubisoft’s typical open-world formula is entirely optional here. You’re not forced to grind through it. While it provides resources and new weapons, you can safely ignore it if you wish. The game gives you enough to progress without needing to "check off" everything. You can simply do what interests you and leave the rest behind. Overall, this game is aimed at players looking for a relaxed experience with engaging stories, rather than hardcore gamers seeking challenges and complex gameplay. I bought the game at a steep discount and found it quite entertaining for the price. However, I played it more casually, as the gameplay was too simplistic to keep me engaged for long sessions. My expectations were realistic, though, and I got exactly what I hoped for, making the experience worthwhile.

Ancient Egypt really well transcribed in this one. Highly recommend it. The tours are really informative as well! I like to say this is the best AC of the modern ones.

As someone who this game was his first one in the AC franchise I have to say this game was a lot of fun to play I would definitely recommend it if you want to get into AC even now in 2024, as for older AC players, you have to go into this game without comparing it much to the ones before otherwise you won't be able to enjoy this new/different style of games. The story is very well written, the main character Bayek is so badass and you can feel his anger, sadness and love for his family and people, I have to say his voice actor did a very good job. The world is stunning and breathtaking with so much to discover in Ancient Egypt as the developers paid a lot of attention to historical accuracy(With a few errors here and there to be fair), the NPCs have a schedule that they follow everyday and walking around a town in the morning feels completely different than at night as a lot of the NPCs go to sleep and you'll find mostly guards walking around, the graphics are great but nothing too crazy but it was definitely ahead of its time when the game was released back in 2017. The gameplay feels very satisfying especially with the ability to climb pretty much every wall in the game giving you so much freedom and lots of room to plan different ways to attack a place/enemy. Overall the game is a 9/10 as there could have been a few more things that the developers could have squeezed out of this game to make it even more special.
