Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4)

Great game and great product

I shouldn't enjoy this series, but I do. It's pumped out nearly every year, and almost all of them are the same. But with that said, sailing the seas in Black Flag and meeting the figures of the Italian Renaissance are some of my favorite moments in gaming, and I keep coming back to this series hoping for that same feeling.After the dull Unity and overrated Syndicate, I wasn't expecting anything out of this one. I didn't care much for the setting either--I knew Cleopatra and Ptolemy, but what other historical figures really mattered during this time period? Well, maybe it's because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I love this game.The combat has seen a much needed overhaul, and it can actually get tricky at times. The setting is breathtaking as usual, and I want to know who at Ubisoft programs water effects because they are the best in the business. The story...eh, it's alright, but this series isn't really much more than an excuse to go on a history tour. Sidequests aren't much to write home about as they're usually either fetch quests or outpost infiltrations but they fill the gaps well enough.The main complaints I have are two things: holding the up button to "sense" treasure, and Layla Hassan. The treasure sense is annoying because guess what? You're gonna press that every five steps to make sure you get every treasure. Why didn't Ubisoft just highlight treasures instead of adding this annoying process on top? Either hide all treasures, or highlight all treasures, don't give us the in-between. Second, Layla Hassan is the most unlikeable person ever. She isn't tough, she's mean, arrogant and entitled. If a male character acted like her, I would hate them just as much. Everything in her backstory makes her out to be spoiled and obnoxious, but we're somehow supposed to identify with this awful person. Maybe it's a generational thing. Between the bland Desmond and the unlikeable Layla, I'll take Desmond. Unfortunately I'll have to continue seeing Layla's story unfold as I play Kassandra in the upcoming Odyssey.So to sum up, annoying modern character and minor gameplay annoyance aside, if you're a fan of the series, I would definitely recommend this game.

this game has to be the best assassin creed game, with its wide array of weapon upgradability and the side missions you have to complete for certain weaponsit somehow manages to keep you immersed and encourages you to explore more of the unexplored world

This game is probably the most free and open game in the franchise. From planning to execution of your plan everything you can do and plan on your own.. You get to play as Bayek.. A Legend. He truly is. Also you live his life in this game. It's a beautiful descriptive piece of art that goes beyond all expectations.. Also the rpg element redifined the combat style and the story makes you feel involved 24X7. Even the side quest are so thrilling.. This game sone complete game that every gamer aspires for. Its so involving and amazing that you just cannot resist even to buy the dlc.. I have played both the extensions of this game. The hidden ones dlc and the curse of the pharos also. This is not just a mere game it is much more than that.its a journey of thrill excitement and awesomeness. The combat is redefined and it is even more brutal and deadly. The boss fights make it even more fun to play. Grab this on your pc or console and play it. Enjoy this creative masterpiece of gaming througly.

Assassin's creed origin is the best game of this series.

Graphics are good.Story could be better.. Dialogues between the characters seem boring and monotonous..The desert, sand dunes are exciting in the beginning, but they seem exhaustingly dull later in the game.. everything is YELLOW.. very few green areas in the game..No dynamic weather.. it did NOT rain a single time in the game.. just desert everywhere..Controls are okay.. there are so many weapons, but hardly anything unique about them (or maybe the game never compelled me to change my primary weapon) .. you keep collecting so many of them, just to sell them later..Also, this game is like a casual game.. nothing really challenging in this game..This game does NOT stand anywhere in the league of the likes of GOW and RDR2.PS - I have never been a fan of AC series.. I always disliked them, but this game surprised me positively..This is deluxe edition, it contains a soundtrack CD and a physical map.

Disappointed. Game received without a manual and the cover is broken on the side. The disc have a sticker on the circle which we dont usually see in genuine ps4 game disc. The image on the cover and the one displayed here received is different as you can see it is not the pegi 18 game without the cusa code no.on the side of the case and it is not the made in austria game. It says made in america and the game doesn't look genuine and it stopped working a few times when i played it. Looks 100percent like a refurbished product and on the back it is imported by sunder electronics and i have purchased this game sold by cloudtail limited.
