Fun fact: AC Origins actually takes place during the decline of Egypt as a breakthrough society. The Golden Age of Egypt actually takes place 1000 or so years before this game.

I think one of the most over looked features of the newer games is the discovery tours. I spent 125 hours including the platinum and the dlc packs and I still went back for another 30 hours in the tours. It was great to go go back and learn all this interesting stuff

It's a real shame they didn't give Bayek a sequel. To me it felt like a logical next step, the story was competent enough to warrant exploring more of his future, not to mention the cliffhanger of him and Aya, where they both decided to dedicate their life to a new creed, potentially showing how Bayek helped start the foundation for the Assassin's. For some reason they really don't want to flesh out characters over multiple games anymore. Which is unfortunate.

This one is a masterpiece, actually played and beat it for the first time last month. Best gaming decision in a long time.

One of the reasons I love Origins and Unity is because how immersive the world is... There is so much detail put into the world building form the NPCs to the arctichture... I want to really feel like what it was like during those time periodd

Npc routines are amazing in this game, but the one that blew me away, it was a funeral procession going across to a town, I followed them and when they arrived the were performing a ceremony, just awesome.

One of my most memorable/satisfying moments of my play-through of origins was getting my ass absolutely wrecked in Origins by the phylakes in the early game, and after grinding to around mid game to level up and get stronger slowly taking out more and more of them. Really hunted becomes hunter moment for me that was never properly redone in the later games.

Every time I say origins is my favorite I can’t capture in words what I mean, you’ve just done that expertly and better than I could ever hope too. Thank you Luke

Origins is my favourite AC game, it's the perfect blend of the original AC games and the newer RPG style. They went too far with Odyssey and it's just not been the same since.

1:57 the prophecy was real.......

The world in this game is just on another level. The attention to detail and the way the team depicted the people's habits, the way they worked, the accuracy of the maps from a historic point of view..ugh so good.
At one point I was just strolling around a small town and stumbled into some npcs painting portraits on some sarcophagus, went around the spot and another npc was dyeing fabrics, preparing salt and various herbs to embalm the dead ones.
Then googled about it to find out more and found out everything actually existed. It was related to the Fayum mummy portraits. A mix of Greek and Egyptian naturalistic portraits where the two cultures clashed and brought up something new. That's just one spot on that whole map. The discovery tour is gorgeously made too.

Origins has such an awesome setting and atmosphere! Bayek is also really interesting and gets you invested in him.

it is one of the most visually beautiful games that exist, going by boat on the nile is the best with all those tirremes and boats, it feels alive, the best of the new trilogy

This game is not just the best assassins creed game...is one of the best open world games in general. The immersive of the world and the physic of the game is just mind blowing.

This game is the reason I bought a ps4. Now I’m playing it again on ps5 on my new 65’ headed back tv. I’m 62

Ubisoft has some incredible talent. Their tech, engine, and artistry really is top knotch when they want it to be. And I’ve always had a guilty pleasure for Ubisoft titles and own most of them. If they could just get the corporate stink out of it and let their teams really make something, they could come back to the acclaim they once had. They’ve just felt like kind of an assembly line company in recent years where the games look and play great, but have an air of mediocrity and underused talent about them. Maybe we’re just getting jaded to the type of games they’re capable of, I mean any other studio would kill to have a steady string of games that look like their games and have as much content, and there is a lot of minute detail even in Valhalla that we just kind of take for granted from them now, but it’s lacking a feel of any passion. Valhalla is an incredible looking game full of content and detail. But it just reeks of averageness. Like there’s nothing special that makes the experience rise above. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain. The fact that they have cranked out 3 massive scale open world AC titles, 3 Far Cry games, all the associated dlc, and games like Rider’s Republic in like a 5 year period is kind of nuts. And maybe it is just that lack of focused production that makes the games feel passionless. But man, if there was ever a face of tech and talent that is being underutilized to feel underwhelming, it is Ubisoft right now. They have the capabilities to make an incredible game. They just need focus and maybe to just let their teams lean into creativity rather than cranking out the next game off the assembly line.

Just got this from game pass and playing for the first time. The RPG element and combat takes a little getting used to, but after a few googles it's making more sense now, but still much to learn. The exploration and missions are fun, and I've learned the hard way not take someone on who's level is higher than mine. Looks gorgeous in 4k.

I played AC Origins last year during lockdown. It's hard not to love it when you can't go traveling. And the experience was epic.

I think the most underrated part of Origins is that Bayek actually feels and acts like a person from the setting. When a citizen has a convern that there is a curse bc the gods are mad he goes “oh shit! That sounds bad, lets find a way to please the gods and lift the curse” whereas in Odyssey when a citizen says that Alexios/Kassandra usually scoffs
