Assassin’s Creed Origins vs Odyssey [Which Is Better?]

Oddessy might be hated for not including major things that are synonymous with AC, but I still believe that it is a great game that deserved its game of the year nomination, it just should have tried to incorporate more of what we know from AC

[@raymi9612]

I really think it did, but in the modern story. It really should be treated as an AC before the Hidden Ones appeared. It showed us how the Order of the Ancints got formed, and that mythical creatures of greek mythology were creations of the Isu, wich Alexios defeated to get the apples of Eden to seal Atlantis. Also, he guarded the Staff of Hermes over the crnturies until Layla showed up to set the stage for AC Valhalla modern story. But hey, it's easy to throw with mud and say "this is no AC gane, no Ezio stuff here". I agree it is nit perfect, but I do think it is a very good game.

[@uppin_downers]

you forget to mention it also breaks the entire lore assassins creed set up for 11 years in one single game.

it should have never been an AC title. 😂 it would have been outstanding if they made it an stand alone title.

I recently just platinumed Odyssey after trying and putting it down two times before and loved every minute. I think it requires a certain kind of mindset to play, kind of like death stranding

[@JonJon-co3zj]

Maybe because alot of the things we knew with altair and ezio and desmond was light years after origins and odyssey so things change over time like things we do now are totally different as to how people did in BC times

[@BlazerPandaI]

I’ve done multiple playthroughs for both Origins and Odyssey. I absolutely love Greek mythology, it’s really easy to understand and kind of ironic in a way, which is something Odyssey specializes in quite well. Besides the damage sponge enemies getting repetitive, I enjoy almost every mechanic about the game. Origins, however, made me think more about the story then about the RPG grind. To me, Bayek was much more important than Kassandra, and his story was much more meaningful to me. I also found the animations in Origins to seem more smooth I guess, than Odyssey’s which seemed sort of choppy. Seeing Origins have a map that also didn’t have copy and paste locations made all of Egypt seem different, which I absolutely loved. Origins definitely takes the cake for me, much more similar to the idea of Assassins to begin with, but Odyssey was extremely underrated when it came out, and I’m glad it’s getting recognition now, as I would suggest anyone who’s played some of the RPG games to try Odyssey. Thanks for reading 😅

[@saikyue4462]

AC odyssey is one of the best games ive ever played, i played through the story about 5 times on different saves its just wonderful and never gets old, people say its not an ac game, but it literally is, it shows the start of the templars which is the cult abusing the artifact to manipulate the tides of war and order and alexios is the one who stops it, ofc they arent assassins because the order came before the assassins and to show the beginning of the order you cant have assassins at the same time if they didnt exist back then. Also the dlcs are isu focused which are also part of the assassins creed lore and are the main part of it basically. Assassins creed odyssey is the better game for me because it has more to offer and because it IS an assassins creed game, people just dont think it is because they dont know the deeper lore of Assassins Creed and think that its all about assassins and nothing more, when since the first game the reason for the games existence is because of the artifacts of eden which come from the isu which are then abused by the order and the assassins are only there to stop them

as someone who has 1000+ hours in it i can tell you the obvious comments on it: damage sponge fighting system which makes grinding useless, fully and i mean FULLY breaks the entire lore of assassins creed it shouldn’t even bare the name and it has copy and paste environments and cities. besides that if you actually know what you’re doing its pretty fun to fully abuse the gear system and make builds and mods and the overall lighting and look of the game is great for sure

I played it, and I found it largely boring. The world is copy pasted forests/cliff sides and they just copy/pasted the homes/ncp houses from origins and dropped them into odyssey. The combat sponge, the ridiculous armor/gear drops, the terrible voice acting(both Kassandra and Alexis suck IMO), the grind, the Ubisoft store selling xp/material boosts that help speed up the awful grind.

[@Kimkong2]

This will be kinda long. The only issues I have with both of these games is the lack of some grounding of the character to the open world. It feels like you exist on the game world rather than in it after it’s done wowing you with its beauty. What I mean is stuff like being able to sprint across the entire map, never needing to take care of your gear, ship or character. The climb everything mechanic as well as stuff like ignoring fall damage, which is cool in theory but when you understand that it exists not to enhance traversal but to stop it from feeling tedious is kind if disappointing. It would have been cool if you could purchase one of the many little homes around the map in every major area and interact with it. Have it be a place where you have a stash and can rejuvenate and relax with actual benefits. We should be able to interact with the city as well, like maybe buy stuff from the markets, rest at some public or private pool, eat at a tavern and stuff like that. If I’m gonna cross a whole desert or sea instead of fast traveling , it should be more engaging and feel like a journey. It should be something I have to make sure I’m prepped for. Doesn’t need to be a huge deal but just something that keeps the immersion. I’d like to be able to setup camp in the frontiers, have the horse mean more than just ‘faster than running’ and hunting be more immersive. As it is the only two ways of interacting with the game world is fight or traverse. Which feels like being blue balled because the game world is so well detailed and is begging to be interacted with. That and I wished for more dynamic activities and events in the game world. Origins had a lot of dynamic patterns for the npcs and their activity cycles. But none that you could interact with, you could only just watch. Except finding enemies fighting eachother and choosing to intervene, which really just had you agro everyone against you, there wasn’t much dynamic encounters. I think most of the side quests should have just been dynamic activities you come across organically. If you were to sit back and watch, especially origins, the NPC patters, including animals would amaze you. All they needed to add Is a dynamic and organic way to interact with it besides just fight or in a quest. The combat also got very stale for both games after a while. I wish they had more combos like maybe a system where there’s different attacks and effects when you mix and match the light and heavy. I know you can mix the attacks but it’s still all the same moves. Origins also desperately needed more assassination animations. The combat overall lacked that distinctive AC flair. It relied more on super powers as a wow cool factor. These were the only things holding me from having these two games as my best games ever made. Because everything else in terms of gameplay and world building is just nuts that it Carrie’s a first play through very well.

Origins in my opinion much better than Odyssey, already the story, the setting ancient Egypt "I love Greek too, but Egypt is above", the gameplay they are perfect to marry the ancient formula with the news was excellent, the open world was very interesting, the characters, the Aya-Bayek couple and the soundtrack, in fact here it is Origins it makes Assassin's Creed and for me one of the best. Odyssey and not bad far from it but it's too much a separate game, the game was basically planned to be a Spin-off of the lisence, in fact the only thing that bothers me with Odyssey is the name Assassin's Creed, after all no It's not a bad game, it's an excellent Greek simulation.

Bayek is one of the 3 greatest AC protagonists right next to ezio and Edward. While Odyssey on paper has an equally emotional story arc Bayek’s story was done so much better and I just cared much more about him and his journey than anything with Alexios or Kassandra. The first scene in the pyramids with Bayek already sold me on his character. Like almost every other Assassins Creed protagonist he is on a quest for revenge. However during the side quests and the slow story moments his humanity shines through. he’s a very empathetic person. Also the voice acting from abubakar salim as Bayek is absolutely outstanding. The pain in his voice was noticeable and made his performance stand out a lot. In some ways Bayek reminded me of Geralt of Rivia my favorite gaming protagonist of all time. on the surface he’s an angry warrior, but there is much more than meets the eye same as with Geralt.

[@FlautistSojwal]

I enjoyed Odyssey more than Origins because of the witcher 3 like gameplay mechanics, choice based outcomes, etc. I liked it more as a game, but not as AC series. Ubisoft should focus on keeping AC games AC type only, like AC3 or AC Unity. And make more games like Odyssey but outside AC franchise. No doubt Odyssey is my most favourite as of now, but it should have been a non-AC game. AC3 was my best AC experience, while Odyssey is my best witcher-like game experience.

i love both but Odyssey's strength is truly the freedom to play the way you want and you have so many possible builds corresponding to your playing style. I really loved that from the game. Starting a new game+ let you replay all those same missions but this time perhaps the player can try to do it as a warrior and not assassin, etc... The game can be hard but with right built it become really easy. In Origin we still have some options but much less, we can't really make builds but each weapons have it's unique proprieties. For this reason Origins will never be "that" easier, you can't dominate like in Odyssey but you still get nice skills that helps. One thing I would like is the same time window for stealth attacks as in Odyssey, Enemies become aware much quicker in Origins and most of the time you have to fight all of them. Oh and I would love if they had more than 10 Mercenaries in Origins, they were good challenges

I like Odyssey because of Kassandra, her poise and voice is just perfect, in Origin I like the MC as well, but the settings and the world make sense to me, I do like the greek mythology behind Odyssey but Egpyt is just hits different.

[@juniisenpai3777]

@@lewis10599 Kassandra is done right in Odyssey, which is controversial in 2024 you know a Female MC. pretty sure I just I said I like Origin more or I stated it vaguely?

[@canadian0099]

@@juniisenpai3777lol how is that controversial in 2024?(unless you’re talking about the KZbin basement dwelling neck beards that just hate female leads) There are plenty of awesome female main characters in games now, Kassandra is not one of them. Even comparing her to someone like Aloy, night a day

In my opinion I personally prefer odyssey more as origins I didn’t like aya but loved bayek and I loved the more Greek aspect than the Egyptian aspect

Odyssey is my favorite ac game even though I just got it today

[@treywilliams7223]

Assassins Creed Origins is my favorite game of the series.

[@deale-]

lol I agree, but it's still a game. So which one has the better gameplay? The best game loop? Skills - and skills tree? Combat animations? A better options menu and interface variety? Which game is more fleshed out in terms of boss fights, and Player Vs CPU inputs - in stealth and combat? If you were to showcase people both, then which of these two is more fun?... As a game, and as a product that relies on inputs to keep consumers engaged, we really need to start comparing the gameplay (first) more often 😢

[@HiGlowie]

That’s what I’m wondering too. I’ll honestly just download both and play Origins first.

[@johanneskaiser8188]

As an archaeologist, I can just not get over the size of the gladii in Origins, reminds me of inflated toy swords. Plus I do not like desert settings, so the game had to depart from my PC after receiving its fair shot and unsurprisingly not being up my alley.

[@johanneskaiser8188]

@@lewis10599 Never played Mirage, so hard to have an opinion on it. Upscaling monuments is something I don't mind too much, because while incorrect it is lending a bit more of a grandiouse air than in a setting that is by this point more in the realms of historical fantasy is not out of place. The oversized swords meanwhile are utterly impractival and carried around constantlly, so it is a constant eyesore.

[@rebornitsybitsy7515]

Odyssey FTW. On my 3rd New game plus. Over 500 hours played on hardest difficulty level,

[@Wafflez-Man-YT]

Odyssey is good but Origins is better the best story in the rpg series for sure. Bayek is a badass father

[@punkdallas1646]

Origins story is broken. Bayek says he isn't a grave robber yet you can raid tombs/Pyramids no problem. The game has two different writers but one was replaced by another. Alien Platypus has a video deeply explaining what happened. The only part I didn't accept was about double assassinations.

[@latj16x]

it’s impossible to pick I love both not picking between these 2

[@PSNgamer_316]

I think both of these games are pretty evenly matched IMO, usually when people ask about the Assassin’s Creed RPG trilogy it’s usually just these 2 that are talked about while Valhalla is tossed off to the side. My personal take on these it that Origins is better for the story but Odyssey is better for the gameplay. Odyssey has a lot of content & it’s just fun to play as you feel pretty powerful late in the game. With Origins I love the setting & the story is easier to follow & told better.

I dug BOTH games (idk why it's sacrilegious to say that among the Fandom).. "Origins" is just better in pacing, story and size.

[@praxiann7615]

Odyssey was more fluid and just more enjoyable with better landscapes, Origins got boring and felt choppy like it wasn't ready, Odyssey was a perfected template of what Origins began.

[@forgot46]

People saying odyssey is better i am envy of those players and i respect their opinion. But for me as i am following the franchisee from 2007 have only abandon 3 games Ac syndicate- a travesty Ac Odyssey- tedious and distracting Best for me Ac1- its the start offcourse initiation Ac2- mindblowing, continues till revelation so very good experience Ac3- innovation and new graphic overhaul but mediocre story but very interesting haytham kenway character. Ac rogue- identical to Ac3 and mediocrity Ac black flag- good open world beautiful graphics and pirating in open seas defintely thumbs up. Ac unity- beautiful paris landscape and ground beaking graphical leap with bugs and poor optimisation Ac origins- minblowing, hits again the feeling of Ac2 ezio and want bayek sequel but ubisoft shut the door on my face.😢 Ac odyssey- OMG i can't remember my quest this is tedious, can't choose which gear to use there are so many. May be i should play this game in free time😂 Ac valhalla- very good graphics. may i will get thors hammer so exciting. Ac red... To be continued..... Ac hexe... To be continued 🙂

[@JohnWil-yn3pc]

I guess I’m the only one who thought origins was crap lmao. Odyssey is a “cheaper” experience story wise, but origins combat/leveling felt awful comparatively and I thought Egypt was horribly boring. Ship combat getting shoehorned in was also disappointing in origins.

[@Diego-rt2ot]

Egypt was very diverse, in Greece every island looks the same

[@ManavvvSharmaaa]

Assassin'S Creed Origins is more of an Assassin'S Creed with a Little Mix of RPG, While Assassin'S Creed Odyssey is a RPG with a Little Mix of Assassin'S Creed, but both are Great games. Even So Assassin'S Creed Origins is much more Detailed and I am a little Disappointed Just to Increase the Scope of the Game thy Ignored the Attention of Details AND THE BIGGEST THING, they completely gave up On Cinmatic Cutscene for most of the Chunk for future Assassin'S Creed.

[@IornaR6]

Pretty damn late comment, sorry. Personally, overall, I prefer Origins. As Bayeks story is relateable and I find ancient Egypt fascinating. I used to dislike Odyssey alot, despite having put well over 400 hours into it to this date. Once I started ignoring the ''Assassins Creed'' on the box and just played it like it didnt belong into the series, it actually became one of my favorite games of all time. If you just play it like the AC doesnt exist, the game is amazing and probs to Kassandras Voiceactor, even in german they did an amazing job portraying her well. For me its a hard to say ''Which is the better game'' as both games in my opinion sort of play and feel similar, Odyssey is (just like you mentioned for yourself) one of my comfort games, i'd even go as far as saying that Odyssey is underrated. If it goes to which is the better assassins creed; Origins, no doubt. Its in my top 3 favorite ACs, with AC2 being No1 and Syndicate being No2. But I do admit that the game gets alot of hate for no real reason, had they just not printed ''Assassins Creed'' on the box, and sold it as a standalone, Odyssey wouldve overall been loved for what it is much more, but that might just be me. Very informative video and i do share pretty much all your opinions on them. Keep it up, much love

[@gameplaybg1311]

In Assassin's creed Origins ending is cluttered.I prefer Oddessy.

[@connorwiederich]

Origins wins for me. I enjoy Egypt more, Bayek is a better protagonist, and the game doesn't feel too bloated and as grindy. It's probably my second or third favorite game in the series after 2 and Brotherhood.

[@mrsiomai1717]

Odyssey wins in terms of gameplay

[@Landwehr900]

Origins is the better game and Assassin's Creed story. Ptolemaic Egypt as a setting is just way more vibrant somehow than Greece, which really only has Athens and Crete as very diverse areas

[@trystanbooth3816]

i wish i never would’ve played odyssey or valhalla cause i love origins so much, but the other two just burned me out on that style of game

[@reticleronin]

The main thing you did not compare was ..GAMEPLAY

[@UtaNngkrngDpanKompi]

people keep saying origins better but there's a reason why among the newer trilogy Odyssey has more player count on steam even to this day than the other 2. Odyssey just more fun to play and have better replayability with it's build crafting.

[@lordsteppergod7269]

I've platinum both games, both games are beautiful

[@pauljermyn5909]

I like origins but preferred the game mechanics of Odyssey, i would probably think different if i liked the earlier creed games but i don't

[@mjohn3126]

Just finishing up the other side plots of Odyssey and I noticed that Origins is on sale. I’ll probably start that next.

[@Bruce-z6k]

I platinum both, I liked Origins more simply because it has shield and no endless of mercenary coming at you like in Odyssey, you can’t hide unless you use vanish mode. Too much of demigod, takes longer to kill enemies and endless of war you don’t know which side you’re on. Crocodiles are so much cooler in Origins than Sharks in Odyssey… it even has Egyptian crocodile God. I liked the exploration and the water in Odyssey but overall Origins is so much better. AC vibe with stealth, simple combat to the point, mystery, this game took me to an ancient Egypt and learned Egyptian Gods while fighting Roman Empire which was so cool, while Odyssey feels like a vacation and when war in region turned blue or red, you’re like meh… Lol

[@imo098765]

I dont know what it was, I finished Origins, came home from University had no issue sitting for hours to play it. Tried the same with Odyssey, found that all the extra rpg systems got in the way of the Assassins Creed part of the game. Just couldnt finish it It didnt feel like it should've been called an AC game, same with Valhalla

[@KAjo07]

AC Odyssey is masterpiece one of the best games I have played

[@mohittrivedi27]

Finshed origins few weeks back and currently on odyssey playthrough. So far I liked origins better. Lets see though if odyssey grows more on me.. Love ur vids tho!✌🏼💯

[@Shadowscreemer]

12:54 I'm not so sure about that statement to be honest. It's possible to make a fully fleshed out character defined by player's actions, a great example would be Commander Shepard from Mass Effect series. No matter what choices you make, he/she still feels like they are their own character, and not just the player's avatar. I'd say it's more of a problem with writing, but i guess it was Ubisoft's first attemt at player choice on such scale. Good thing AC Valhalla fixed those issues. /s

[@Anonymous-ml9eb]

Without a doubt, origins all day. Favorite AC game.

[@razorcortex0789]

World setting - Odyssey Better story - Origins Protagonist - Bayek Side quests - Odyssey * To me, both are great world settings, but Odyssey stands up for me with the DLCs. *Overall story is far better in Origins, and I mostly enjoyed Odyssey's story and mainly its's DLCs. *I mostly played with Kassandra 300+ hours, great protagonist, brilliant voice acting, but Bayek has the better character development, emotions, and of course, creation of hidden ones. *When it comes to side quests, I go with Odyssey because I loved those side quests, and i completed them all. Philosphy with Socrates, Alkebiades quests, naval combats, Mythological quests including Minatour, Medusa, Cyclops, Daughters of artemis and etc. Even Barnabas had a great story with side quests Overall, my winner is AC Origins, and I love it, but as a student who studies greek and roman history, Odyssey helps me a lot. I'm still playing Odyssey with discovery tour.

[@razorcortex0789]

@lewisgreen5910 I know I know. It's my opinion. I love Odyssey's mountains, rivers, and cultural features more than origins. I spend too much time with Greece. That's why I'm biased to Odyssey. You're right, I don't have any disagreements. It's my opinion. That's why I didn't wrote about it too much

[@canadian0099]

Very very comfortably Origins is the superior game. Odyssey by and large is crap IMO.
