    I said, “I’ll just explore for a bit.” That was 35 hours ago. Ancient Egypt is dangerously beautiful. You start with “I’ll just grab that viewpoint” and suddenly you’re 12 side quests deep helping a random farmer find his emotionally important goat. The world?

From the very first moment, the game captures you with its breathtaking visuals and incredible atmosphere. The world feels truly alive sandstorms roll across the desert, the sun sets over the Nile, and every city is packed with history and mystery. Bayek’s story is powerful and emotional, making every quest feel meaningful. …

    The Solid, If Unspectacular, Rebirth Assassin's Creed Origins is exactly what it set out to be: a competent, full-fledged RPG that successfully rebooted a fatigued franchise. It traded the series' classic stealth-action DNA for a new formula defined by loot, skill trees, and stats, establishing a template that would dominated the series ever since. It's a foundational, but far from flawless, entry. …

Players who liked Assassin's Creed® Origins talk about beautiful and immersive ancient Egypt setting; those who didn't talk about forced Ubisoft Connect launcher causes issues. Which matters more to you?

Critics, per Wikipedia

Assassin's Creed Origins received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Louise Blain of GamesRadar praised the varied map design writing that each region felt unique. IGN's Alanah Pearce agreed, adding each city had its own unique culture and architecture. She added the game offered a "delightful sense of discovery" as it allowed players to come upon locations of interest organically. Chris Carter of Destructoid wrote that "at no point did Origins feel inauthentic", and applauded Egypt as a unique setting for a video game. Like Pearce, he explored the game's world more than previous Assassin's Creed games. VentureBeat's Stephanie Chan…

    I loved this game when it came out. I reinstalled last week. Ubisoft locks my account every time I start the game. I either have to reset my password or contact support and wait for them to unlock. Itll work for an evening, then account locked next day. It keeps happening. They never tell me how to prevent it. I just get an email saying it is unlocked. I would suggest not buying any ubisoft products.

    I played this game on release on PS4. Back then I was okay with the game, but I was already burned out on AC as a franchise. In 2026, I would definitely not recommend the game, though. Also, as an Egyptian, I feel like this game was built for an Afrocentric audience and not for an actual Egyptian audience. Most NPCs sound and look like Africans from West and South Africa, even the accent and everything. Egypt is a North African country located on the Mediterranean Sea and influenced by both…

    The last good AC game since Ubisoft went fully into RPG mechanics and one of the best AC games in the last 10 years. RPG mechanics actually fit the setting and theme of the game and are still intertwined with stealth and more action mechanics of the past games (at least compared to Odyssey and Valhalla that went full combat-centric where steatlh is almost non-existant), map is wast, expansive but not overlly bloated and of the fitting size for a game set in the great desert dunes and lush…

    Best Assassin's Creed out of all the RPG style ones. Fantastic story, amazing gameplay, they nailed this one, but fell of a tiny bit on the next games. Either way, Origins holds a dear place in my heart, Bayek is one of those characters that remains in your memories, same as Ezio. I would love a second game featuring him. 10/10 Removing Heka Chests after 8-9 years after the game was released is as greedy as this company can become.

    I purchased this game, as well as many other Assassin's Creed/EA games, well over a year ago. I'd probably had an EA Connect account a decade or longer ago on XBox. In any case, earlier today, I watched a fascinating documentary about ancient Egypt on youtube and I had a sudden hankering to get back into Assassin's Creed Origins and experience that world again. So I click on the game's icon on my desktop. EA Connect pops up, I'll need to sign in before I can play the game. Hmm, okay.…

    You cannot access the game without a Ubisoft Connect account login. I was locked out of my account due to technical error and literally cannot play the game until I've waited an arbitrary amount of time for Ubisoft to decide I deserve to play the game I paid money for. Ubisoft is a disgusting predatory company that shoves useless bloat into their products to inconvenience their players and try to drain more from your pockets. I love this game but this company and experience is deplorable.

    Ubisoft is a garbage company that claims their backwards account recovery system is for security reasons, this is a lie. The system they have is to control which account plays where and to tie it to a game key. They may be correctly defending themselves against people playing the same game simultaneously with two accounts, but let's face it, they screw the user. I have paid 100+ in their games and now that I cannot access my Ubisoft account, they are not letting me play the games that I…

    Egypt steals the show. Sandstorms, sun over the Nile, climbing real pyramids — it’s the first AC world in a while that feels worth just wandering. Bayek works: a believable avenger who actually cares about people.The loot/level system is fine but can push a bit of grind; assassinations won’t always one-shot until you upgrade the blade. Senu is your scouting “drone” — great for marking targets, though it can make some encounters a little too easy.The score (Sarah Schachner) + photo mode slap,…

    This is actually a pretty fun game when you can get it to launch. Ubisoft consistently logs me out despite logging in on the same computer on the same network. When I re enter my account details im told theres been too many attempts and i need to reset my password. I do that and then get blocked from logging in for a few hours.

    Assassin's Creed Origins is my first game in the Assassin's Creed series, which was recommended to me by my friend Andex, an avid Assassin's Creed fan. The game is more like an RPG, and character leveling is more important than ever. If your opponent is five levels stronger than you, it is simply impossible to defeat them. The only way out is to level up your character (and sometimes this is a rather tedious and monotonous task). This is what annoys me personally; I wanted to be able to fight…

    I really enjoyed exploring the beautiful world of Ancient Egypt. The graphics still look great, and the cities, deserts, and pyramids create an amazing atmosphere. The story is good, but you are forced to play boring side missions to level up. The combat is enjoyable and fun. I really loved the game. However, after playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Origins feels like a downgrade in some ways. The combat is simpler and has fewer abilities, so battles are less exciting. There is less freedom…

Ancient Egypt is stunning to explore, the historical detail is impressive, and the gameplay loop is fun for a long time before the fatigue sets in. The combat is enjoyable but shallow once you find your preferred approach and stick to it. Worth playing for the world and exploration alone, just don't go in expecting the story to carry you through. Full Review…

    The game's requirement for pc hardware levels is quite low, which is awesome for a game with such great graphics. Music and character movement is also nice & smooth. Some reviews mentioned frequent crashes, but such situations occurred only once during my 48h gameplay, which is highly acceptable for me. Above are the pros of the game. If these are your main wishes, I would recommend AC Origins to you. Overall gameplay experience, as something of major importance, is, however, not satisfying.…

The open world of ancient Egypt is the game’s biggest highlight. It’s beautifully designed, atmospheric, and rewarding to explore.

    Ignore my playtime, I played this a few years back on Game Pass. As a longtime AC fan, it's among my top 3 AC alongside the obvious Ezio trilogy and Black Flag. I play AC for 3 reasons: 1. Historical playground that makes you lose yourself in the setting and long to visit them in real life. 2. Strongly written protagonist(s) that keep you invested to see through their story. 3. Competent enough gameplay loop. Origins checked all 3 boxes for me. Even if you're one of those longtime fans who…

    As someone who’s mostly played MMO’s and cozy games I found the gameplay a little intimidating at first. I usually shy away from games with a lot of combat but I’m glad I gave this a go. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. The story was really captivating; I laughed, I cried, I said “awww” more times than I can count, and I felt the vengefulness alongside Bayek. Any game that can appeal to my emotions and tug my heart strings has got me. Loved it! (now to 100% it lol)

    As someone who grew up with the old Assassin’s Creed games, Origins was my first step into the RPG-style direction of the series. At first, I honestly doubted and disliked what I saw from other people’s gameplay — it just didn’t feel like classic AC. But after actually playing it myself, I have to say it’s quite impressive and surprisingly fun. It’s definitely different from the OG Assassin’s Creed, but there’s so much to do — the world feels alive, and the side quests really add depth to the…

    Gameplay, graphics, and story are all excellent. Ancient Egypt is beautiful to explore, and Bayek is a fantastic protagonist. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it because Ubisoft Connect ruins the experience. Offline mode often asks for my password instead of using a proper offline token, and even after selecting "Trust this device" and "Remember me," it still repeatedly requests my credentials.

I can't play the game I bought :( I uninstalled the game, ubi connect. I would rather play a game that actually works offline than waste my time

    For me, Assassin’s Creed is a good game, but it doesn’t quite reach greatness. The world-building is exceptional, depicting Egypt during its peak prosperity, with every location in the game being visually stunning and full of mysterious cultural details. Walking through the cities, temples, and deserts feels immersive, and the attention to historical and architectural accuracy is impressive. However, the NPCs still feel somewhat repetitive and lack meaningful interactions, which slightly…

    Being an open world enthusiast I have loved, admired, disliked and even hated countless pieces belonging to this genre, with all my being, just for my sheer deep rooted love for the vast possibilities of world building and biome design that revolves around this genre and this genre only. But only have I worshipped one amongst them all and it is Assassin's Creed Origins. Besides owning a physical collector's edition of this game, I own gold editions throughout multiple digital distribution…

    9/10 An excellent and visually stunning game with a large, well-crafted open world that is genuinely engaging to explore. The game places less emphasis on stealth and focuses more on action mechanics, which makes the overall gameplay feel fast-paced and dynamic. There are many QoL features that reduce frustration during play and instead make the experience smoother and more comfortable. The inclusion of an interactive tour, which allows to learn about Egyptian culture, is a strong additional…

    hot take: this is the best assassin's creed has to offer after the ezio trilogy and black flag. hands ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ down. the side content is absolutely superb and the side missions of every location tells a story taking place in the many cities or townships this journey takes us. i am in absolute awe of this game. though, it made me deeply upset to see love has to die for the greater cause of ridding the planet of the order but i understand it now. i'm so happy to have finished this game on the last…

    Game was super fun until i crashed during a mission and all my gear was reset to 0. After 58 hours of play. Not spending hours refarming all material to get my gear back to the same point it was already at. Can't recommend a game that runs the risk of wiping dozens of hours of work because of a simple crash.

    4.5/10 A mediocre story funneled into a mediocre game with bad combat and a disgustingly huge empty open world. This game is a product made to be a time sinker, so you can spend money on the shop to make it less annoying... The story is so unengaging yet drags on for so long that you will thank god for Bayek's great voice acting. The combat is...bad, can't even muster the imagination or effort to elaborate. The leveling system is also just as bad. You will more than often find yourself unable…

    Origins ended up being one of those games I enjoyed more and more the longer I played it and a huge part of that was Bayek who I think is one of the best characters in the series. Exploring Egypt never really got old for me because there was always something that made me want to keep going just to see what I would find next. I had a lot of fun with the combat too and the story kept me interested all the way through. It is a beautiful game with a great protagonist and a world that was something…

    Google Street View The Game: Ancient Egypt Edition The only thing it's got going for it is the world and graphics. The story is just barely there, you get boring cutscenes that explain very little and then off you go by yourself to kill some guy that's practically like any other enemy NPC. There's no buildup. The modern day sequences should've been dropped long ago in the series but they're still here. You get pulled out of the actual game to whatever these sequences are, again, no…

    A fantastic experience! The storyline is gripping, the gameplay feels smooth and satisfying, and the graphics are absolutely stunning. Character customization is well-crafted, and the historical accuracy—especially in names, locations, and world-building—adds a surprising amount of depth. A must-play for anyone who enjoys stealth-platformers or is a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series.

    ---{ Graphics }--- You forget what reality is: 8/10 NPC actually look good now. ---{ Gameplay }--- Good: 7/10 It didn’t feel like playing an ac game, but I’ll accept it because the creed doesn’t exist yet. ---{ Soundtrack }--- Good: 7/10 It feels a bit too futuristic sometimes where in other ac games it’s actually from that time. ---{ Difficulty }--- Easy to learn / Hard to master: 8/10 My first and only run was on the hardest difficulty. I struggled a lot in the beginning but…

    What a great depiction of Egypt, crazy to think this game came out in almost 10 years ago now. I found the games enviroment and music to be very good. That said, the game is a massive grind, you're basically just repeating the same types of quest over and over again which after a point does get annoying. I found the story to be good as well, this was my first ever assassins creed game and I did certainly enjoy it, though I probably won't be checking the other assassin creed games similar to…

    Amazing world, story, and characters. So far, none of the series' RPG entries have been able to match it, unfortunately. Recently finished my second playthrough to get all the achievements and fell in love with it again. DLCs are fantastic too! I don't usually write reviews but I feel like I owe it to beautiful Bayek... #CoolholeGaming
