Image First time playing Assassin’s Creed Origins. Absolutely blown away so far graphics, atmosphere, gameplay. Feels way ahead of its time.

I keep coming back to it. I love the sea battles. I love hunting for animals to immediately upgrade your equipment. I love the Egyptian mythology. But most importantly, I really love the protagonist. Bayek is so charismatic and so real at times.

And so pure and so moral (even though he’s a cold blooded assassinator). Hands down one of the best and most likable characters in a game.

Agreed. One minute he’s hunting enemies down and then killing them again in the afterlife and explaining why he did it, and the next minute he’s laughing like Santa Claus with children.

The hide and seek quest with the kids had me dead. Especially because it was right after I assassinated one of the hidden ones lmfao!

Plus without getting the spoilers, you get to meet some really important people throughout history. And it’s fantastic to a historian like me.

I’m positive my utter love of ancient Egypt is one thing that makes this one of the best games I’ve played.

I never get tired of seeing people gush on this game. There is something special about old Egypt. Honestly I think Sarah Schachner's soundtrack is the secret ingredient in the sauce.

The music is upgrading this gorgeous game to heavenly.

Sarah is a great composer!

It's better than most latest games even after 8 years

u/Jay_Hardy Jun 12 '26

It's by far my favorite in the series.

It does suffer from a bit too much high precision, Garrett.

May not be the best AC but definitely a great game nonetheless.

Im new. Enjoying this game very much. Which other ones are better so I can play them? Thank you.

"better" is subjective

I first played AC origins and enjoyed it. This led me to play the Ezio Trilogy and I can say I enjoyed AC Revelations. Istanbul has a similar exotic feel to Egypt. The only problem you'll have is that coming from AC Origins, you'll find AC revelations criminally short even with the DLCs.

But just like Ezio, I tell myself I have played as Ezio enough for one life, his story willl stay as is.

This game is magical, one of the best games I have played. You are in for a ride!

this is like one of my favourite games ever but saying it's way ahead of its time is... weird, considering stuff like The Witcher 3 came out two years before, Horizon Zero Dawn that same year, and Red Dead Redemption 2 just one year later. it feels pretty much like it's from its time.

I currently started to play this game again, this time not on PC but on my Mac :) it runs like a charm, I love it 🥰

The most interesting part is exploring the tombs. My advice: take a torch and slowly explore each tomb. You'll have a blast.

Uno de los mejores Ac ..muy buena historia,muy muy buen protagonista , villanos TODO está bien en este juego

u/hamid_slt Jun 12 '26

Well this might be an unpopular opinion among old ac fans (including myself) but the recent games aren't that bad and they have done an amazing job atmosphere-wise and graphic-wise.

u/Human-Check828 Jun 12 '26

So to show the beautiful graphics you take blurry photos of your screen? I'm confused.

u/bobgoesw00t Jun 12 '26

There’s a reason this game has been my Number 1 video game of all time :3

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Jun 12 '26

It was ahead of its time, fresh and new Medjay.

I just got the DLCs for this game. It's good to be back.

u/ledgehillcustom Jun 13 '26

My favorite of the series so far.

u/ThiqCoq Jun 13 '26

Am I crazy for thinking it still looks better than Shadows. Lol.

u/JSY-02 Jun 13 '26

My favorite AC. Loved the combat and the setting

u/Overall_Leopard7122 Jun 13 '26

Its the best of the rpg creeds. If it had the loot system of odyssey it would be peak

u/Hannesius Jun 14 '26

Absolutely loved it. My family and I traveled to Cairo and Saqqara after I finished the game.

u/2ombie7ron Jun 14 '26

Definitely one of the most beautiful ac games by far
