Assassin's Creed Origins In 2023: A True Masterpiece
Ойындар
Assassin's Creed Origins is one of the greatest open world games in recent times. it may not be a traditional Assassin's Creed game which is what drives a lot of people away from the game. Despite it currently being 2023 and the game came out 6 years ago, it's still a masterpiece.

Assassin's Creed Origins is a 2017 action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2015's Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Set in Ancient Egypt near the end of the Ptolemaic period (49-43 BC), the story follows a Medjay named Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya, and explores the origins of the centuries-long conflict between the Hidden Ones-forerunners to the Assassin Brotherhood-who fight for peace by promoting liberty, and The Order of the Ancients-forerunners to the Templar Order-who desire peace through the forced imposition of order. Featuring a large open world, Origins adopted elements from role-playing video games and incorporated an overhauled "hitbox-based" combat system.
The game's development began following the release of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013). Ubisoft Montreal led its four-year development with help from a team of nearly 700 people from other Ubisoft studios around the world. The team consulted Egyptologists and historians extensively to ensure the setting was authentically represented in the game. While Assassin's Creed had been an annual franchise since Assassin's Creed II (2009), an extra year of development time allowed the team to polish the game further. This was largely a response to the tepid sales of Syndicate, and the troubled launch of Unity, which was plagued with technical issues when it was released in 2014.
Announced at E3 2017, Origins was released on October 27, 2017, for Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It received positive reviews from critics, with many calling it an improvement over previous entries and praising the story, characters, voice acting, reworked gameplay systems, world design, historical accuracy and the visuals. The game drew criticism for its pacing, quest design, and technical issues. The game has sold over ten million units worldwide and was nominated for several end-of-year accolades. Ubisoft supported the game extensively following its launch, releasing two paid expansions and Discovery Tour, a series of guided tours for educational purposes. A sequel, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, was released in October 2018.
Assassin's Creed Origins is an action-adventure stealth game played from a third-person perspective. Players complete quests-linear scenarios with set objectives to progress through the story. Outside of quests, the player can freely roam the open world environment on foot, horseback, camel-back, horse-drawn vehicles or boat.[1][2] The open world includes all of Egypt, featuring vast deserts, oasis, lakes and ancient cities such as Alexandria and Memphis.[3][4] Bayek can dive underwater and explore the lakes and the rivers, a first for the series.[5] As the players explore the world, they encounter different non-playable characters who need assistance from Bayek. These side missions, which typically involve rescuing prisoners, defeating enemies, collecting items or investigating items of interest,[6] often take Bayek to locations of interest, where the player can find treasures.[7] Throughout the game, players can explore tombs and pyramids, raid bandit hideouts, solve riddle puzzles to find rare loot, and discover synchronization points, which then unlock additional locations of interest and serve as fast travel points.[8][9]

If you're seeing this. I have made a newer and more detailed video about Origins. I recommend watching that! kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpmruNBvpNi1naw.html
It’s insane what they managed to do when they were given an extra year. I’d honestly have no issue with them releasing even every 3-4 years if it meant they could make the games this good

The depiction of Egypt is breathtaking, even so many years later. Bayek is an amazing character and superbly acted. Odyssey and Valhalla missed the mark, imho. I love it that, when you scroll over the map, all the to-do icons are just gone. Such dedicated!

i never played the last 3 games when they came out but i got bored and decided to install origins and i’m already like 40 hours in and absolutely love the game, its adaptive and addicting. i don’t think i’ve had this much fun with an ac game since black flag
"The taste of her sting" a side quest that I encountered randomly and managed to finish after 50 hours in the game, because you have to look around and explore to finish it. I love this game!
I completed this game 3 times. True masterpiece ❤👌
I've been playing AC since the first one came out, and i think this is a masterpiece too, its the most beautiful and believable world i ever seen in a videogame in my 40 years playing, and the story, gameplay and Bayek are top notch! i played this one for months non stop.
Playing assassin creed since 2009.....my fav was brother hood and black flag....until i play origina went top on the list....it's so engaging, the beauty of Egypt desert and bayeks companion senu....❤❤❤❤❤
I remember my uncle pre ordered this and played it at my house and I fell in love with it so much that he let me borrow it but has never asked for it back
Played when it first came out on Xbox now I have a brand new gaming pc worth 3 grand and I’m downloading again and starting from scratch today , it’s that good , great video ❤😊😊
I just finished playing this masterpiece, it's almost like im depressed since I made it a part of my whole existence because it was so mind-blowing!!
Ive had this game for so long but I just recently started playing it. Its crazy how so much details they put in per Zone. My mind was blown when I got to giza and saw all those pyramids breathtaking!
i’m gonna add that the game’s DLCs are freaking amazing too. didn’t regret getting them on top of the game. and actually wished they released more.
Years later people are starting to love it . Watched so many of these "die hard fans"compain on early years after it came out
The name of the channel is intriguing enough to subscribe lol. It's truly mind blowing where they took Origins. It's just a piece of art no denying that
Origins is still my favourite AC game. it's definitely not perfect, but it's so good in so many things that I can just ignore all these small issues and really enjoy it every time I start new playthrough. there's something so magical in how this game embodied ancient Egypt! you just feel all love the developing team poured into this game and you just fall in love with it too. Origins really aged like a fine wine!

this will always be my favorite, as I remember the days when the pandemic hit in March-April 2020 and I was playing the heck out of this one - I think I've managed to play 93% in 75 hours or so. Since then, it sparked my passion for ancient Egypt and ancient history. I haven't played Odyssey yet, because I replayed Unity (which is also one of my favorites) but I can't wait!
Definitely one of my favourite games. I plan to replay it and pay more attention to the side quest stories
I just downloaded the game and this came up on my feed I’m glad I got it. It’s way fun
I recently replayed AC: Origins and it really was better than I remembered. The first time I played thru the game it didn’t really vibed with me and it’s probably because I had some problems with the new fighting mechanics. But now that I’ve replayed it twice in the last 18 months I got to say, Bayek and Aya are some of my favorite characters in the franchise.
I played it more than 2 years ago and I remember at the time I thought maybe it's not worth it. It certainly was. I see nothing has changed even now
Nice to see Aguilar’s outfit getting some love! Good vid mate 👌

I just played AC origins this year, it was the first Assassin's creed game I ever played and I loved it.
Origins was the perfect blend of old and new, then they just kept adding more "new" and got rid of the old. A tragedy really.
I played this game in 2019-2020 and I'm almost nostalgic. It's not TW3 or RD2 but damn, this game was fucking GOOD ! Definitly the best AC game in my opinion
Good job, I’ve subscribed
Bayek is awesome, scary when he needs to be and always the protector, specially with children. He's a father at heart and that's what makes him so tragic and awesome. You can feel what a great man he could have been.

in my opinion byek is the best protagonist we have had since ac4 its a shame they did not give him a sequel
I love this game..i just discovered it last month & im ready for another playthrough
I’ve been playing Origins for the first time recently. This game would have been a masterpiece if it was half the size and they cut back on the bloat. I don’t know if I want to even finish Origins just because I’m so sick of these open worlds with a million ? marks all over constantly drawing me away from what I was doing only to be another rinse and repeat activity like a bandit camp or croc lair. It makes exploring feel like a chore to clear each ? on my map. I completely forget what happened in the main story because I get side tracked for 3 hours in between missions only to realize I spent 3 hours doing the same activities over and over just to make sure I cleared most of the points of interest in between missions. Origins has great gameplay, the world is breathtaking and so cool to look at, the RPG elements are fun, the story (when I remember what’s going on) is engaging and well written. But why couldn’t all of those positive aspects be put into a game that’s much more focused and hand crafted? I would much prefer a smaller world that has engaging, hand crafted side content and exploration that leads to more unique things. When you realize 80% of Origins map is just enemy camps, animal lairs, viewpoints, and loot locations with a chest or two, you start to see how repetitive and grindy the gameplay loop is. Sorry this is long I don’t expect anyone to read all of it but it helps me to rant and write my thoughts down because I’ve been feeling very conflicted about this game. I want to love it, a lot of aspects are phenomenal. But Ubisoft doesn’t respect my time. I’d prefer a 30-40 hour, tighter, more focused and hand crafted experience over the 80-100+ hours id have to spend getting through the sheer size and amount of bloating this game has.
Beautiful video
Just finished the story after playing on and off for the last month. While I'm ashamed to say it's my 1st Assassins Creed game I can't imagine it gets any better. Excellent game. 👏
I gave this game a try a few months back and fell in love with it. Going for my 2nd play through now!
I played this game a few years ago and fell absolutely in love with it. The world of Origins is beatiful and breathtaking, some sunsets or the nature come to my mind. The story is told with so much love and detail (which also applies to the side quests) that you really dive into the story ans feel connected to the Characters you encounter. I would 100% recommened playing this game. Especially if you play it during the hot summer you feel like you are diving in the old egypt world 😂

Another thing that amazed me is how the writers were able to advocate women empowerment without having to make men characters incompetent.

This is the best assassins creed game ever i just love exploring the tombs
I still playing this and Odyssey on ps5 sometimes 👌💯
We needed a sequel with bayek going to ancient rome to reunite with aya and take down the ancients there. It was set up perfectly ubisoft missed that opportunity
I had the regular version on disc but I bought the gold version for 11$ digitally for the dlc and I’m excited to play through it
Bought this game yesterday at a bargain £12.99. Im very impressed so far. The map Is absolutely gigantic and graphics are pristine. Loving it!
I never wanted to play this or the next one as I randomly got Valhalla first, as mirage is coming out I thought I’d try and give origins a go a week ago and I completed the main quests within about 30 hours, I’m gunna do lots more before I play the next one but I’m so glad I played it. I never liked the fact they’d changed how it was played but I’ve come to prefer this game over the old ones
Fun fact; Ubisoft added a tomb in one of the pyramids (can't remember which rn), but this tomb was found after the game came out
Words cannot do justice for how much I love this game and how it represents everything I want and miss from the Assassin’s Creed games and I’ll forever be praising Abubakar Salim for his unbelievable performance, has to go down as one of the best in the industry
We could have easily gotten a sequel with bayek while also have a smaller map because some of those deserts were not needed but look pretty

It’s probably the perfect open world that to me rivals red dead’s open world. What makes red dead miles ahead is the grounding of the players character to the open world and the different ways the player can interact with the world and all its assets. This is the only fault I had with Origins , Bayek felt like he lived on the world instead of in it. They had such a perfect foundation for an open world but then failed to ground the player in it. A simple example is how UBI and many games seem to be so afraid to ground their characters with light survival elements, favoring convenience for convenience sake. Think of this, you can run from edge to edge in both origins and red dead 2, but one will feel like a journey and be immersive while the other will just be a straight mindless run. This is the difference, to run from edge to edge is possible for Arthur but you’ll have to prepare before hand and take into account different things. You’ll have to lightly manage your cores , which is just enough to feel immersive and not intrusive. In Origins, Bayek can just run straight and climb almost everything. This convenience guts immersion in what would otherwise be an engaging activity. I remember how I felt when I first left Siwa to go to Alexandria passing through the desert. I was in awe, but the fact that I could just whistle get on the horse and full sprint across it all made it a little underwhelming. I felt kind of disappointed, after I was done ogling at the scenery. I think if the game grounded Bayek more, like how Arthur was, it would feel so much more rewarding to just travel. Rockstar proved that adding light survival mechanics in order to ground the player in open worlds makes people care and feel most immersed even in something as simple as traversing from town to town.

@@TheHiddenOne690 That’s true. RDR2 really messed my expectations, it raised the bar too high. But I do hope that it shows other devs that a little grounding can go a long way. I personally think that’s usually all thats missing from many UBI games to make them great. I really believed AC origins was the closest, they really had that open world down. I’ve never seen such detail coupled with scale. The NPCs were some of the most impressive UBI have made, and they worked for that scale. Thinking about it makes me want to get back then i remember Bayek only has 2 ways to interact with the world, traverse and attack. I can’t explain how modern UBI games feel, it feels like I have a dev kit or mod on my character because they give so much to the player and in such a blatant way in the name of convenience and freedom.

Best protagonist yet
Still very relevant in 2024. Just re bought it for PlayStation and it’s far better than mirage or Valhalla in my opinion. The story is great the side quests are actually relevant and the world is just as beautiful and well built as the newer games.
It’s is without a doubt
Never been a fan of the series, I started with Unity and Syndicate which I both like then jumping to ACO afterwards, I think for someone like me who’s not too familiar with the entire lore, ACO is somehow a complete package being an origin story.
