Perhaps one of the most controversial games in the franchise! It was AC: Origins that twisted expectations and introduced action RPG mechanics into the gameplay, probably influenced by the iconic The Witcher 3 HUGE release.
This game serves as a breath of fresh air in murky times, a welcome change. The plot revolves around Bayek, a very charismatic and intriguing character, along with a heavy and historically famous supporting cast. The setting in Egypt is splendid, a factor that the franchise has never failed at. I played Origins with a GTX 670, with graphics on low, locked at 40 fps, and SOMEHOW this game managed to hold my attention from start to finish, even in these terrible PC conditions.
However, it hasn't a top notch game design like past entryes in the series. A solid mid game, with good things in between. My favorite of this new generation of Assassin's Creed!
