Yes, my friends, the long-awaited Assasin's Creed Origins is finally here, and it KICKS UNFATHOMABLE ASS!!!! After the disaster of Assasin's Creed Unity, I was terrified that this fantastic franchise was slowly losing its legendary status as the successor to the brilliant Prince of Persia series. This is especially true, given the fact that Ubisoft has been fucking up all over the place with terrible business practices and shady post-release patching. Overreliance on the evil microtransactions cancer of the modern gaming industry (ABORT!!! ABORT!!!). Lay your fears to rest, for Ubisoft has redeemed themselves with quite possibly the most jaw-dropping, gorgeous and epic Assasins Creed ever delivered by human hands!
The premise alone of an Assasin's Creed set in Egypt should be enough to make this game amazing. Origins run in stunning 4K resolution, and Egypt has never looked sexier! Towering pyramids replete with mysterious sand dunes. Swaying palm trees, crowded marketplaces and savage assassin bloodshed all mix together in a harmonious creamy smoothie of bad-ass perfection. None of the quests feel forced, and microtransactions have been replaced by Helix currency. This currency unlocks as you kill enemies and complete missions. Your skill in the game determines what weapons and abilities you unlock, not how much money your willing to shell out for an incomplete experience, as God and nature intended! This system removes all pointless grinding from the Origins experience. Focus instead on scaling pyramids and assassinating your targets at any pace you like!
Every element of Assasins Creed Origins is polished to a mirror shine! The world feels organic and alive, with a massive, unprecedented sense of scale. The scope of detail remains humbling in every manner, there is no open-world game out there short of GTA V that even comes close to Origins luxurious attention to the smallest details, crafting a masterpiece of gaming. The story is filled to the brim with three-dimensional characters. Excellent voice acting, photo-realistic cutscenes, and chilling plot nuances and twists! There is so much freedom in Origins to play how you want that it makes all other open world games look entirely bare bones and pathetic by comparison. The game plunges into concepts of corrupt men of power, lower classes being worked to death and a rebel against a society of control and dark influence. Every action carries weight, it feels like playing a movie in real-time, and the stunning photorealistic graphics make Origins leap off the screen as it dominates your brain. Roman, Greek, and Egyptian history are all given respect and prestige in this game, and every element is rife with stunning details and subtle nuances only enriching the lore and historical validity to new, uncharted heights. This game feels like a movie in real time, it is extraordinary to behold, stunning and absolutely breathtaking!
It is rare that a video-game transcends all expectations and raises the bar for the entire industry, but Assasins Creed Origins is just such a title, a once in a lifetime experience and worth every last penny! This is the type of experience the new Bioware is incapable of creating unless they return to the drawing board. You are wasting your money and time on any other open world video game in 2017! The King has now earned his well-deserved crown! Without a single doubt, Assasins Creed Origins crafts a revolutionary new chapter for open-world video-games! An industry shaker in every conceivable category. The undisputed Ocarina of Time of 2017, and my pick for Game of The Year!
