What Made Assassin’s Creed Origins So Good?

[@jxy2590]

Brings a tear to my eye seeing Origins get so much love

[@LeFilmMatrice101]

I've played it since Day 1 it helped me with Depression once. Ive been to Every nook and cranny on every map and I will not trade it for anything else. Most Immersive AC if you love Egypt.

[@drshnkmr49]

Still playing origins in 2024. Loves the story and settings 😍

[@ygrezzie]

Best AC game hands down.

[@Freeflying_kiwi]

Currently checking youtube if this game is worth my time as I never played it before. But based on all the reviews and comments like this. I think it is best to spend a lot of time in this game. 😎🤣

[@Grandtemplar305]

Origin is very good you felt bayek pain

[@grundged]

Playing through this on PS5 now. It's amazing how many quests have voice acting. The game mechanics are very diverse as well. So many tools to take down enemies. Also love the real historical information found throughout the game.

[@astronomic_al]

Robust gameplay, beautiful graphics, and a well told tale of a protagonist you truly root for ❤️

[@DoomsdayMayBeOkay]

Best main character and setting in the series for me, it outranks AC2 and even Black Flag for me personally.

[@anneritchie8264]

I just started playing AC Origins yesterday (until a hurricane knocked out the power). I'm stuck in the tunnels at the start of the game after getting all turned around and doubling back. Power's back, but now work beckons. I hope to give this game some serious time this weekend.

[@dave8484]

Hope your enjoying! I remember my first time I played it and what a time!

[@Hayabusa1169]

Power being cut is worst. I live in Chiang Mai Doi Saket village in Thailand whenever rain/storm’s coming there will be 70% chance of power stoppage. I remember playing FF7 Rebirth fighting a boss cutting his HP 70% and power just stopped.😂

[@Dyl_Valentine]

I played Origins at launch and literally went "WTF is this!? This isn't Assassin's Creed" Came back 3 or so years later and holy shit what a gem of a game.

[@SYKFAN-p4g]

same lol i bought it when it first launched and started playing this year and it's really freaking fun. it kind of feels like playing ghost recon wildlands

[@m3m3sis]

Just replaying this after two years. This was one of the best games I used to rehabilitate my ability to focus after a serious clusterfuck of burnout, anxiety, breakup, homelessness and depression. Now I have regained happiness and neuroplasticity and I'm having a blast altering my og playstyle almost completely. Next Odyssey and Fenyx Rising.

[@AMITAWAGHADE]

This is where AC peaked.

[@literallysnake]

I absolutely adore the pre RPG AC games from AC1 to Unity but while Origins was different, it still managed to capture the assassin fantasy and was overall a good game.

[@stubbornpotatogaming6220]

Origin is so good because it is still grounded with the balance of mysticism and technology of the Isu. The game is also big yet focused on its theme and content. The story is built upon the foundation of "tragedy of children". The mechanics are still realistic to the story(having both direct approach and stealth because Bayek is not a full pledge Assassin)

[@huzi73]

Started playing again about a week ago randomly - feels so fresh forgotten everything and I’m hooked again haven’t played since PS4 It’s had updates for PS5 and looks so good, so much attention to detail in this game so much better than Valhalla & Odyssey IMO

[@austin21x]

I think what makes Ubisoft so frustrating is that they have the ability to make an Origins/Chaos Theory/AC2 /Beyond Good and Evil/Rayman/Prince of Persia etc. but their greed stifles creativity and care for the vast majority of games they release

I started playing Origins a few weeks ago and damn, it's been an amazing ride, so far almost 100 hours and so many things to discover yet. The greatest sandbox since I played RDR2 and that says a lot.

[@DarMar106]

Origins was probably the last AC game I full enjoyed. The story, the characters, all the quests, the exploration. Odyssey was ok but Valhalla just got boring for me

[@samuelesquivel6202]

[@krombopmike5339]

If I buy this game, will I actually play it or stop a quarter of the way through like I did with every AC game I've played post black flag? I'm still stuck with last gen hardware because I'm broke. I've played just about every game and I've run out of stuff. Would ya'll recommend it? Lemme know.

Cause it was all about Assassinations,kind what AC was.With an amazing setting a great character and an emotional story from the start.After that all went to shiett from Odyssey to Valhalla,and the new one that's coming out seems will suffer the same fate.

[@tonybailey89]

I couldn't agree more, I loved all 60 hours I dumped in the main campaign and another 12-15 into the DLC...I've skipped every AC since this one since they were literally copy and paste res-skins of AC Origins in different settings...but shadows looks fantastic and I hope Ubisoft can make it another great one! P.S. Don't worry guys/gals I won't be pre-ordering no matter how good AC shadows looks lol

[@EemMiIiLlLl]

nah you shouldn't have skipped Odyssey bro, play it.

[@donovanschoor1473]

The big thing that held this game back so, so badly is there is literally, absolutely no point in like doing, anything, ever, at all. Once you reach end-game everything becomes completely useless, you end up playing 25% of the game and then dropping the game once you realize there are no concrete incentives at all anymore because you are maxed out. its an insane giant oversight.

[@LucieOne]

I know a lot of people didn't like the game but Origins was spectacular for me. It's one of the best games I've ever played and absolutely stunning like when you finish the prologue and you go to the city and see the title... gorgeous!

[@deadzone139]

The game was really stunning even all the little secrets you could find made me feel like I was really in Egypt there has been games about that part of history to me it was one of the most unique games because the setting is not always in games . To me it was the best of the newer assassins creed

What a game!!! The combat is fine, nothing special, but the stories, Bayek and my God, THE WORLD!!! it's incredible!

[@jaughnekow]

the story...

[@Somtric]

It was decent and simply needed a proper stealth system (which has never been in any AC game, but seems to be implemented in AC Shadows now, which generally look good.. so we'll see), but unfortunately they didn't improve on the format with Odyssey or Valhalla. Odyssey was still good, but Valhalla went downhill and Mirage was just pure garbage.

[@BlackKnight94Smalls94]

I’ve never heard anyone call Mirage worse than above average so I’m genuinely asking what did you find wrong with it that gave such an extreme stance on it?

@@BlackKnight94Smalls94 Wtf do you mean... everyone hates the game, what kind of weird community do you belong in... The game is poorly made, the combat is literally one of the worst in any video game ever... it is pure garbage.

Mirage had its flaws, but it is really far from garbage. I personally would set it at the same spot in a list besides ac3. And (at least for me) way above Odyssey.

[@Somtric]

​@@7i4nf4n If you think Mirage and AC3 is better than odyssey, there is something wrong with you. Straight up. And Mirage is garbage.

[@7i4nf4n]

@@Somtric I just didn't like odyssey. It was way too big and long, and for that too empty. A stealth kill isn't a kill anymore, just a stealth attack. Greek history is more often than not taken as a ground for modern, often cringy jokes. And it feels like artificially stretched to reach 150hrs as a game. Maybe you view it differently, but for me AC Odyssey wasn't good, as much as I wanted it to be.

Origins- Bayek overthrows Pharaoh, helps Cleo to power and establishes Hidden Ones Origins 2.. the Brotherhood of the series. Bayek helps protect Cleo from a plot is betrayed at the end by Cleo and Caesar alliance… trains Hidden Ones Origins 3 Overthrow Cleo and Caesar
