Assassin's Creed Origins performs remarkably in every aspect and shows a final and finished product, leaving behind the ghosts that had this franchise. It's a title that every fan of the series should play, because it correctly maintains the essence and implements fresh and fun elements to the series. To sum up, Assassin's Creed Origins is the renewal that the saga needed.
Critical Hit - Noelle Adams - 9 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins is a pharaoh's tomb chock-full of shiny treasures for gamers, especially those fascinated with Ancient Egypt. The side quests may feel a little repetitive, but the credible, nuanced characters and diversity of the main plot make up for it. And with so much to explore and do in its jaw-dropping setting, Origins is exceptional.
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury - 4.5 / 5 stars
This is the best game in the Assassin's Creed series.
DualShockers - Noah Buttner - 8.5 / 10.0
Editor's Note: Last week, DualShockers was transported and hosted in San Francisco by Ubisoft and got the chance to play Assassin's Creed: Origins for over 40 hours on the Xbox One X. The build of the game we reviewed the title on had yet to go through stabilization patchwork as well as a now-implemented day-one update.
Easy Allies - Michael Huber - 3.5 / 5 stars
EGM - Ray Carsillo - 9 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed: Origins delivers a robust experience that mixes up the traditional Assassin's Creed formula in a way that's fresh and fun to play—but which also harkens back to the series' roots in some welcome ways, too. It marks an evolution fans might not have even known they were waiting for, delivering one of the best overall experiences we've seen yet from the series.
Eurogamer - Christian Donlan - Recommended
Assassin's Creed returns and its vast and evocative Egypt inspires wonder - even if much in the game remains familiar.
Forbes - Paul Tassi - 9.3 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins improves from its past few installments in almost every way, yet it never quite reaches the heights of the games it tries to emulate.
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani - 8 / 10
All in all, there's more than enough to give Assassin's Creed Origins a go. Revamped combat, a fantastic representation of ancient Egypt, and a world crammed with things to do, Assassin's Creed Origins is a return to form of the franchise that has us optimistic on what to expect next.
Game Informer - Suriel Vazquez - 8.5 / 10.0
Expanded progression, open-world freedom, and a fascinating backdrop make for an enticing origin story
Game Revolution - Paul Tamburro - 4.5 / 5 stars
It's fitting that Origins showed the birth of the Assassin's Creed while also indicating the much-needed rebirth of the Assassin's Creed series.
Game Volt - Moustafa Gad - Arabic - 8.8 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins re-presented the series in an excellent way that erases the negative effects of previous versions, starting with the world's own virtual design and Atmosphere and through the best combat in the series, which have more powerful enemies and more difficult confrontations, not to mention wildlife, And the story that offers a series of famous historical Characters and the number of weapons and equipment available for use and variety.
Gameblog - Julien Hubert - French - 9 / 10
If Assassin's Creed Origins is not perfect, it perfectly understood what it had to do to regain the hearts of the players and fans of the series. In addition to delivering the mysterious and fascinating ancient Egypt on a silver plate, in an absolutely gigantic open world, full of activities and secrets to discover, it succeeds in transforming its gameplay by brilliantly integrating RPG elements and completely renewing, with no less talent, its combat system. It will literally absorbs you for dozens and dozens of hours. Assassin's Creed Origins succeeds in taking care of its fans and its fundamentals, while starting its own revolution. We can only hope that the next episodes will keep this momentum.
GamesBeat - Stephanie Chan - No Verdict
Assassin's Creed: Origins offers a rich world and a compelling story, but it's waylaid in part by the repetitive side quests. It has secrets to find, but you'll have to go looking for them. If you don't mind hours of grinding to move forward a story piece by piece, then this is something you'll enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, but I wish that the open world aspect either didn't affect the pacing so much or did more to expand on the story.
GameSpace - Unknown - 9.7 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins is a breathtaking sensorial odyssey. It is the MMO I have been waiting for without the MMO part and boy would my heart skip a beat if it were massively multiplayer online. Ubisoft has won a new superfan.
GameSpot - Alessandro Fillari - 7 / 10
In charting out a new storyline and the largest setting for the series yet, Assassin's Creed Origins makes a few stumbles along the way.
GamesRadar+ - Louise Blain - 5 / 5 stars
As beautiful as it is deadly, Origins' Egyptian playground is finally everything you wanted the Creed to be.
Gaming Nexus - Randy Kalista - 8 / 10.0
Origins was worth taking the year off. Egypt will be hard to top as a location. The series' dry, ironic, corporate sense of humor is still dull. But nobody can beat Assassin's Creed's architectural history lessons, even if you're still just stabbing folks and jumping out the window while you're sightseeing the entire timeline.
GamingBolt - Pramath - 8 / 10.0
Almost at the cusp of true greatness, but not quite there, Assassin's Creed Origins is nonetheless a rousing adventure that truly manages to reverse the franchise's momentum after the double whammy of Unity and Syndicate.
GearNuke - Khurram Imtiaz - 9 / 10
Assassin's Creed Origins manages to rejuvenate the series with a solid foundation built on a fun combat system.
God is a Geek - Chris White - No Verdict
Assassin's Creed: Origins thrusts you deep into a historical epic filled with so much beauty, intrigue, and excitement.
Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 4 / 5.0
The extra year of development has helped Assassin's Creed as a whole, as Origins is the next level for the series.
Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish - 92 / 100
Origins can pretty much be considered one of the best entries in the series (if not the best) for introducing a myriad of changes, all for the best, and making the series advance in the same way Assassin's Creed II did back in the day. Put it into a sarcophagus next to the pharaohs, because this game is worth of the Valley of the Kings.
IGN - Alanah Pearce - 9 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins is a deep-dive into a truly stunning realization of ancient Egypt, with a rich series of cultures, genuine characters, and more mission variety than any other game in the series. The combat is challenging and thoughtful, and while the loot system doesn't match up to games like Destiny 2, there are enough different weapon types and enough enemy variety to keep you swapping between weapons, catered to the situation. The RPG elements encourage challenges of their own, and even despite a handful of bugs, I desperately wanted to keep playing.
IGN Italy - Gianluca Loggia - Italian - 8.5 / 10.0
A new beginning for Assassin's Creed, with a lot of new elements. Not a perfect game, but a good open world with marvellous locations.
IGN Spain - David Soriano - Spanish - 9 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins manages to combine familiarity with revolution. Its RPG mechanics, new combat system and equiment management make you feel a fresh enough experience. The map is huge, beautiful and detailed, supported by an outstanding artistic direction. Unfortunately, the narrative fails to captivate us to make it closer to perfection.
Kotaku - Kirk Hamilton - No Verdict
Assassin's Creed Origins is ungainly and uneven, beautiful and frustrating, expansive and unexpectedly conservative.
Pardis Game - Sina Rabiee - Persian - No Verdict
It's incredibly engaging and a final verdict is hard right now so let me spend more hours in ancient Egypt, go to the pyramids and when there's not much left, I'll return to you with my final thoughts and verdict
PCGamesN - Kirk McKeand - No Verdict
So far it seems like absence really does make the heart grow, well, stabbier.
PCWorld - Hayden Dingman - No Verdict
Assassin's Creed: Origins reboots the reboot, but a year off hasn't changed the series as much as you might've hoped.
PlayStation LifeStyle - Ahmed Mohamed - 8.5 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins blew my expectations away in so many areas, but there's still something missing that made the likes of Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood so special. However, this is most definitely the best title since then, and one that I'll be jumping back into very soon. The new combat system makes for some incredibly satisfying moments, while the design of the world is only matched by the likes of The Witcher III. Ubisoft Montreal can be proud knowing that they've delivered a level of AAA-production that likely won't be seen again until Cyberpunk 2077 rolls around, but there's just that last leap of faith that needs to be made to once again deliver a generation defining game.
Polygon - Colin Campbell - 8.5 / 10.0
In essence, Assassin's Creed Origins is much the same game as the original Assassin's Creed, which came out a decade ago. It's a formula that people like to play, and it's certainly been honed and improved over the years. Origins is, then, undoubtedly the best iteration of this formula yet. But I yearn for a fresh approach and new ideas, something that astounds the senses as much as the wondrous world this game inhabits.
Press Start - Brodie Gibbons - 9 / 10
I fell out of love with Assassin's Creed a long time ago, but Origins has recaptured the magic that made the series a powerhouse all those years ago. With its humble protagonist, whose outlook on life is clouded by relateable and crushing heartbreak, and a world so detail-rich, it's hard not to be floored by everything Origins manages to be.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the definitive action-adventure game of the year. It's a wild power fantasy that satisfies not only a curious thirst for knowledge but both bloodlust and wanderlust to such lengths it's almost gluttonous.
Pure Playstation - Kyle Durant - 8.8 / 10.0
Ubisoft needed to recapture the magic that made the series great in the first place, and it seems it has done so. It's just all the quintessential problems within said magic tag along for the ride.
RPG Site - Kazuma Hashimoto - 6 / 10
Embracing a more RPG approach, Origins's engrossing open world experience is marred by persistent glitches and a narrative that suffers from poor pacing.
Saudi Gamer - سندس الخباز - Arabic - 10 / 10
Assassin's Creed Origins took an amazing new direction with a brand new story, new world, and new hero. The story is quite epic and it presents some of the most important historical events and characters in Egypt. I loved the variety of targets and how each boss has a complete different approach that changes the combat strategy and gameplay.
Spaziogames - Yuri Polverino - Italian - 8.5 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed Origins is a beautiful open world action-adventure game, a real reborn for the Ubisoft saga made possible by a fresh new combat and quest system. The story is passionate and the character of Aya is very cool. Perhaps the game is not perfect and had some trouble of game desing, but we can surely say that is very good and a perfect way to follow for the next chapter.
TheSixthAxis - Gareth Chadwick - 8 / 10
After taking a year off, Assassin's Creed is going through a transitional period and taking players back to the very founding of the Brotherhood in Ancient Egypt is symbolic of that. The vast new setting, the improved combat system and moving the series towards being a real action RPG have injected this series with a new life.
TrueGaming - خالد العيسى - Arabic - 7.5 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed: Origins is a good gaming experience with a lot of content but the story failed to impress, and while the game changed a lot of thing, it didn't bring anything new for the open world genre.
Twinfinite - Ishmael Romero - 4.5 / 5.0
What we have here is a game that is more than it seems. Origins is a fitting title because there are a lot of beginnings to witness, many of which will pique the interest of lore aficionados.
USgamer - Mike Williams - 4.5 / 5 stars
Assassin's Creed returns with an entry that moves the series forward, but also goes back to the beginning of the Brotherhood. This new entry is a bit more of an action RPG, telling the story of how Bayek of Siwa becomes the first Assassin alongside a number of intriguing side quests. Combat is overhauled, but it's still a bit muddy when fighting multiple enemies. What absolutely does work is the world itself; Egypt is beautiful and the diversity in the environments is impressive. I'm unsure if Assassin's Creed Origins will convert anyone who isn't already a fan of the series, but it does what it does well enough to join the top of the franchise.
VideoGamer - Alice Bell - No Verdict
The scale and beauty of Ancient Egypt is stunning, and you might find yourself spending hours just exploring. But, within that, the main story is threatening to become lost.
Wccftech - Alessio Palumbo - No Verdict
Overall, besides the aforementioned lack of instant assassinations in some cases, I do have a lingering concern regarding the depth and variety of content, an important aspect of games belonging to the open world genre. Ubisoft stated that it would always be meaningful, but I still have to check whether this will actually be the case.
Other than that, though, Assassin's Creed Origins is looking great so far.
Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 8 / 10.0
Assassin's Creed: Origins manages to be both experimental and safe. It tries a lot of new things, but it never ventures too far from the Assassin's Creed formula. There's a lot of potential in Origins, and it'll be exciting to see how the new features evolve in future games. Fans of Assassin's Creed should find a lot to like, and it may be time to revisit the battle between the Assassins and the Templars.
Zoomg - Meysam Khalilzadeh - Persian - 7 / 10.0
Although Ubisoft Montreal tried to add RPG elements and implement a new combat system in order to create a different gameplay, the problems in physics and various bugs, prevent Assassin's Creed Origins to become a great experience. The game has a great story and beautiful music but it can become repetitive very quickly and we can't see any improvements in graphics.
