This was a cool experience. However, the RPG mechanics and the changes that were made to the franchise in order to accomodate them hold AC: Origins back.

The (hand to hand) combat system is quite lacking, however the stealthy assassinations are awesome.

Many missions or targets force you to fight face to face. Making the flaws of the combat system even more noticeable.

The story is very engaging, but it wierdly comes to a stop for a couple hours, and then ramps up to an interesting ending in an astounding pyrrhic victory.
