Assassin's Creed Origins gives us a sneaky glimpse of a very familiar face...
It took going back to a much older game to realise just how empty Assassin's Creed Shadows feels.
"I've never thought feudal Japan would be a good Assassin's Creed setting. Give me 1960s southern England with mods and rockers."
Aaaaaaand that's where I stopped reading.
I agree with the first part of their statement. Japan is so overused and it wasn't particularly interesting in Shadows. Now that it's been done, they can do something better.
And shadows reminds me of something origins is lacking. Virtually every game is lacking something. It is because it is lacking, that it has what it isnt. Funny dichotomy that…
Origins is a beautiful game made by talented people that got turned into a brutal level-gate fest by the CEOs.
There are only a few Assassin's Creed games I played. Original, The Ezio Collection, and what I think is probably the best in the series Assassin's Creed Odyssey with the DLC. I'm done with the series, it's the same shit.
Same, enjoyed 1, looooved the ezio trilogy, and 4 was peak, everything after that just sucked. Unity was a great direction but the bugs and how long it took to fix killed it, best parkour system in the series tho
Ubisoft shared a developer Q&A about Assassin's Creed Origins, clearing up pretty much any doubt you could possibly have regarding the game.
AC Origins is the last great Ubisoft game. Period. This game show how great the Ubisoft story writing once was. Also the meticulous research Ubisoft did in the field of Egyptology. Ubisoft was so pride of their research that it made a separate Touring mode just to showcase all of their study.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
When I first saw Watch Dogs I immediately thought this is Ubisoft secretly making a modern AC game. I hope we get some climactic title between the two to tie everything together one day.
Thats kinda cool.
Although Im mainly just interested in what else gets added to the Ubiverse.
The worse thing from all Assassin's Creed games are the parts happening in the present. They should just remove that crap and keep the games in the past from start to finish... or at least a option available to completely skip the present action and dive directly in the real game.
What a shocker!
