Assassin’s Creed Origins is more than just a game—it’s a breathtaking journey into ancient Egypt, a living museum where every dune, temple, and bustling street tells a story. It revitalized the franchise by merging historical immersion with deep RPG mechanics in a way few games have achieved.

The most striking feature is its unparalleled depiction of Egyptian culture and history. From the grandeur of the pyramids to the Nile’s tranquil banks, every detail feels handcrafted with care. The Discovery Tour mode even allows you to explore it purely as an interactive historical experience.

Bayek, the protagonist, is one of the franchise’s finest characters—a man driven by grief and duty, whose journey leads to the birth of the Assassin Brotherhood. His story, paired with Sarah Schachner’s hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, creates an emotional weight that elevates the game far beyond typical action titles.

💡 Tip: Play it slowly. Wander the deserts at sunset, sail the Nile under the stars, and let the music sink in. Origins isn’t just a game; it’s an artful voyage through history that rewards those who take their time.

✅ Why Origins is uniquely special:
Unmatched recreation of ancient Egypt (feels like stepping into history)
Bayek’s deeply emotional character arc
Masterful soundtrack enhancing immersion
Perfect RPG-stealth balance, modern yet true to the series roots
Discovery Tour mode as an educational, interactive experience

Not feeling this. It isn't bad, but it isn't good. The fact it is 60$ means I cannot recommend. Maybe on STEEP sale.

The vast majority of the game is helping random people which I don't really understand. And yes, you have to in order to level up to kill the main targets. The side quests are boring and freakin everywhere. I'm not sure if these are all the dumbest people on earth but every 100m some random dude needs to you save a life, move some heavy stuff, or escort some other idiot. You have to carry so many of them too, ugh. You can only track one quest at a time.

You cannot kill things a certain level above you. I was tracking a target and a flock of birds flew out from the bushes, and instinctively I shot one. It literally flew at me and 2 shot me because it was too high level. So you can't kill a normal bird with a bow and arrow if it is too high of level...

Combat is not very interesting. Witcher 3 which is years older does it way better, as do other titles. It isn't bad, but it is the same thing over and over. Headshots with bow or same number of melee attacks then parry/dodge. The different melee weapons have different speeds, so how many attacks before having to counter is about all there is. There is no main weapon. You have two melee slots, and it is all based on gear score. So essentially you equip the best fast and slow weapon you find, and you will constantly change weapons. Horse combat is not very fun.

Skill tree is uninspired. Story is uninspired. Looting 5 gold at a time is annoying. Default controls of PC are laughable. Space is dodge. Alt is parkour/run. Shift is block. Bow and arrow is right click. Works like that except on a boat... in which space bar is to go fast...

The world itself is pretty. I feel like this game could of been amazing they just didn't thread it together right. Feels very hollow. I've killed so many people in 17 hours I don't think they would have any soldiers left.

Terrible audio quality. I genuinely don't know how this game got away with such diamond compressed audio. Turned me off from the rest of the game.
