ASSASSINS CREED ORIGINS (REPLEN)-NLA - PlayStation 4

Ubisoft knocked it out of the park with this one taking ideas from other game franchises such as The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dragons Dogma, and Borderlands. A fully open massive world with tons of fully voiced side quest and plenty of things to do. The game is gorgeous especially on Xbox One X with support for 4K HDR. 40hrs in and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Assassin creed origins is a masterpiece it’s beautiful breathtaking and a powerful story about the how the creed started. It’s a must buy game to have.

It’s definitley a different type of Assassins Creed. At first I didn’t like it because it had changed, but once I got used to the new gameplay, I had a BLAST playing it. There is a bit of a learning curve, but after that it’s smooth sailing and very fun!

I can not wait for the next releae, every time it's better!!

Currently, I'm at the 85 hour mark and have only progressed a little more than halfway through the main story, which so far has proven to be a very complex, compelling, and immersive tale. For those players who are new to ASSASSIN'S CREED, honestly, a general Wikipedia-level working knowledge of the series' story is sufficient to understand the more mythology-based science fiction elements. The graphics are simply astounding! It looked great on the One S, but this is the game that convinced me to upgrade to the One X. It has not disappointed me, and the visuals really help hook you in further and deeper to the game. There are a few drawbacks. The combat system can be difficult to use. Many times, carefully plotted ambushes failed because the game failed to register my Y button tap and my brief window for assassination lapsed--leaving me to fight hand-to-hand. Also, the side quests can become a bit tedious and repetitive. Neither of these though should dissuade you from getting this game though. It is, by far, one of the best games on the XBOX One consoles and absolutely worth playing!
