AC Origins is a pretty clean reboot of the franchise. It does enough of its own thing while paying respects to past games without going on for an eternity like Odyssey and Valhalla.
It doesn't hold back with being an action-RPG which isn't what I want out of this series, but stays grounded enough that you can still get an assassin experience.
I quite like the story in this one a fair bit, but with long stretches of time and side content between each beat my interest started to dwindle being used to past titles. I was also so lost with the modern story at this point that the new protagonist didn't interest me at all.
I find Origins worth playing for the solid mechanics more than anything and being able to just explore ancient Egypt, and I do prefer it to some previous entries.
