Are usually write pretty lengthy reviews on video games but I will try to keep this one short.



To be honest, the only reason that I bought this game was because I had just purchased an Xbox One X and a 4K TV, and needed a game that supports 4K. Plus, Amazon had this game on sale for $30 instead of the original price tag of $60. After just completing the game after playing it for several months, I’ve got to say, it’s worth all of $60.



I’ve played about five assassins creed games and this one originally did not strike my interest that much. I guess I kind of figured that the whole Egyptian thing wasn’t that interesting. I was wrong. After several months of playing this open world game, I was blown away at the graphics of the 4K quality single time. I’ve been playing video games Since the first games of the original Nintendo or coming out, and this is the best looking game that I’ve ever seen. The beautifully detailed scenery and amazing lighting are mind blowing. It’s almost like watching a movie, but when playing it, it’s like you’re really there in that time. That’s how good it looks.



The controls took a little getting used to. The last assassins creed game I played was Black flag and the controls were a little different in that game compared to this one. At times they were a little clunky and sticky. One of my biggest pet peeve‘s of assassins creed games has always been getting stuck on an object, and Origins is no exception.



Not only is the story and main missions interesting, they are true to history. Ubisoft always does a fantastic job on research for their assassins creed games.



The combined play of the main and side missions combined took me about 4 months to complete, playing casually. Getting towards the end of the game, I was getting a little bit burned out with playing side missions. Nearly became pointless to play them because of how close I was to the end of the main mission of the game. At that point it was really just for fun.



I docked 1 star for the aggravating clunky controls and repetitive side missions
