Assassin's Creed Origins Standard Edition - Xbox One

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. Story 5/5 Graphics 5/5 Sound 5/5 World 5/5 Side missions 5/5 Combat 4/5 (improved but clunky) Animations 5/5

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!!

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.

Love the game I recommend it if you played the previous games you should play this one

I love this game! My first assassin's creed game and so far i love it! Absolutely recommend it

Assassin's Creed prior to Origins had started to hit a rocky road, but this game has helped steer the franchise in the right direction. Now, while the historical association with the Assassins has become more and more stretched, the game itself, from an entertainment standpoint, has improved tremendously. The story has been improved significantly, there is much more to do, so a better bang for your buck, and there are some historically accurate correlations to the New Kingdom Egypt. A very nice game to pick up, especially if you are new to the series or willing to try a different genre of video games.

Five star setting. The lands and the scenery are very detailed and appear well researched. But there are a few things which keep this from a 5 star review. It is basically another Assassin's Creed game without much innovation. Sure there is a big new world to explore... and it is really interesting to do so... but it's a lot of the same mechanics, the same feel, the same the same the same. Which isn't terrible... but I like looking at Elder Scrolls as an example. The release one main game maybe every 5 years. And then many fun expansions for much less than a full game price. But each new title in the series (not expansions) feels different and unique. Similar but different enough to keep them fresh. So if Ubisoft could just get that little bit of 'fresh and new' feeling into their titles, that would be great! The one time I really felt they made a big update was when they released Black Flag. That felt fresh and new and interesting. So bottom line... cool game, cool setting, but if you are an AC veteran, it's a lot more of the same. Take the good and the meh. Also, microtransactions are sometimes okay, but 'time savers'? Not cool. But I guess people can use or avoid at their own choosing... but they are kind of right there and kind of annoyingly in your face... But I guess that's the way the gaming industry is heading... sigh... But I did not ding the game rating because you choose if you want to use them.
