Review: Assassin's Creed Origins - PS4 | Pure PlayStation

Pure PlayStation: Is Assassin’s Creed Origins a return to form? Yes. Is it the best Assassin’s Creed ever? Probably not. While Bayek is a delight to play as he's nothing like Altair or Ezio. His revenge quest isn’t too original either, but it’s definitely an interesting one. Gameplay is as enjoyable as always and offers a wonderful array of going about things.

Yeah, I can't wait to play it. Assassin's Creed finally has all the elements I've wanted: good stealth mechanics, customization, large open world with RPG-like quests, and a solid combat system. Plus the setting is really cool.

Dark_Knightmare22393d ago

Yeah same here I've got the gold edition steelbook version preordered and paid off

Tankbusta402393d ago

Can't wait...ugh gonna be even worse because I have it preordered for xbox and I will have my copy for 10 days before the One X comes out

OldGuyStillGaming2393d ago

Play Wolfenstein 2 in the meantime

DaDrunkenJester2393d ago

I'm in the same boat, but I still have Shadow of War and Evil Within 2 to keep me busy.

I'm doing the same thing lol but I also pre-ordered Mario so that will hold me over till this and my x arrives.

Tankbusta402392d ago

17 down votes because I said I pre ordered it for the one x? Thats cute, I also have a OG ps4...I guess some people would rather me not choose which platform I should play a multiplatform game on...lol

Nice great score looking forward to this game

roadkillers2393d ago

My friends enjoy Assassins Creed, so I'm glad it got praise. I feel like this game is the step in the wrong direction for me, I really enjoyed the first AC and Black Flag looked great.

FinalFantasyFanatic2392d ago

Black flag was my favourite out of the accolades series, even the navel combat.

Prince_TFK2393d ago

The reviewer mentioned MT, which come up as soon as the game start.

Ubisoft, you never cease to amaze me.

OldGuyStillGaming2393d ago

They’re there but in no way necessary for playing or completing the game

UltraNova2393d ago (Edited 2393d ago )

Its also in no way necessary for MT to be there to begin with.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden374d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar374d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter374d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981374d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman374d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
