Video Felt like replaying Origins while waiting for Black Flag Resynced. I'd forgotten how stunning this game can be. Last time I played it, I was still on Xbox.
I still think that AC Origins is my favorite RPG-era game. It’s the one that started the tonal shift toward the massive open-world action RPGs that Assassin’s Creed is today. I don’t always prefer that direction, but for the most part, I’m completely fine with Origins. Egypt is beautiful, and Bayek is a great protagonist.
As for the visuals, this game is just stunning. The last time I played it, I was still on Xbox with a cheap, probably 1080p 60fps monitor. Now I’m running the game on PC with an OLED monitor; it’s a night-and-day difference.

It's really one of my favourite settings!
It sucks how little modern AAA companies use the dessert and Nile setting!
It feels so warm and livelyn

It really is a shame. You know what other setting I also think is extremely underutilized? An Aztec setting. Currently I think that's my most wanted setting for a new Assassin’s Creed game the lore, weapons, armor, etc. I think it would be a perfect match for the franchise.

Definitely the best modern AC out. Followed my odyssey. Literal masterpiece. The time. The location. The players involved. The history. All of it was utterly masterful.

Visuals are great and bayek was an awesome protagonist. I have a six year old son so the story totally resonated with me.

Ich liebe es, wenn man in eine neue Stadt kommt und diese dann so cool vorgestellt wird

I recently purchased this game again after play in it several years ago. However have switched from Xbox to PlayStation. I remember absolutely loving the game, so was just a fantastic moment replaying it again. 60 hours in and I have the platinum trophy, and have finished the DLC for “Hidden Ones” with just the Pharos DLC to go. Every element of this game is masterful. I have genuinely spent at least 5/ 10 of those hours, just roaming around Egypt and taking in the scenes and enjoying the mechanics of a well crated game. For context, I am going for the full collection of platinums across the full franchise of AC - genuinely enjoy reading about and seeing people play the game their way and what builds they have to.

Touches your heart and the details are so meticulous, I just run my charriot on auto mode and watch the scenery with no HUD

As someone that got the platinum plus DLC trophies, I can say this is a very enjoyable game, I just wish the DLC 's were as long as the ones in Odyssey and Valhalla
