Assassin’s Creed Origins is a deep-dive into a truly stunning realization of ancient Egypt, with a rich series of cultures, genuine characters, and more mission variety than any other game in the series. The combat is challenging and thoughtful, and while the loot system doesn’t match up to games like Destiny 2, there are enough different weapon types and enough enemy variety to keep you swapping between weapons, catered to the situation. The RPG elements encourage challenges of their own, and even despite a handful of bugs, I desperately wanted to keep playing.

Assassin's Creed Origins has had an amazing run since its release and constant updates such as the recent Discovery Tours mode has really taken it and the series to a new level. That said, the first DLC drop for the game, The Hidden Ones, was a little...

The Curse of the Pharaohs is a big step outside of what we're used to seeing from Assassin's Creed Origins, and it pulls its whimsically mystical journey off well. Combat continues to be fun and challenging, and this time your biggest foes are fleshed...

Assassin's Creed: Origins is not only one of the best games of the year, but also the best game in the series. It's a rare example of a developer revitalising a stale franchise in just the right way and beyond just that, it's also one of the best RPGs...

Among those of my friends that play games, many are exhausted with Assassin's Creed. It's hard not to blame them. We had a new entry in the series – sometimes two! – almost every year for the past decade. The original Assassin's Creed hit exactly 10...

For those of you who were suffering from franchise fatigue, Assassin's Creed Origins should cure your ailment. Ubisoft's increased development time for the game brought a gigantic open-world full of stories, exciting battles, and a loot system that have...

Origins successfully adds to the franchise of Assassin’s Creed by delivering something fresh yet similar. It plays like a treat on the Xbox One X and thanks to the 4K graphics is easily one of the most immersive titles as you explore Ancient Egypt and its connecting lands.

By GameDebate on November 04, 2017 90

I could wax on about Assassin’s Creed Origins for a long time. For all its foibles it’s a staggering achievement, and most certainly the best the series has ever offered alongside Black Flag. Those who prefer the dense city networks of the original games may bounce off it a little, but for anyone even remotely interested in the prospect of The Witcher and Assassin’s Creed crossing paths, this comes highly recommended.

Assassin's Creed Origins does enough things differently to warrant a look, but there is still something left to be desired. It's a lengthy game in a huge and varied open world that provides a foundation for what's to come, but it doesn't quite offer the...
