I used to play that. It was pretty good. I just downloaded Diablo Immortal again. It’s hard to find something like it. Other games I like are Eternium and Anima.
It’s alright. It’s the only one of the newer AC games I’ve played so I don’t know how it compares, but exploring ancient egypt was neat and the combat was fun enough.
As with most Ubisoft games, I never finished it. The open world is very copy pasted and it gets repetitive ~15 hours in.
This is almost exactly my experience, but I stuck it out for more like 30 hours because I really dug that desert setting, which is criminally under used in games.
Also, does anyone remember the Animus Save Editor? Back when Ubisoft Connect was still called UPlay, there was a tab in the in-game overlay that allowed you to change a bunch of parameters of your save game, including disabling enemy leveling, making assassinations insta-kills on any enemy, adjusting DPS for your character as well as NPCs, etc. For some reason though, after Ubisoft rebranded UPlay, they removed the feature. I still have my modified save, but can’t make any further adjustments. It sucks because I was able to make the game feel much closer to the old AC games, and new players can’t.
I enjoyed it just fine. I enjoy open-worldish-rpg-y games.
I think Odyssey refined the mechanics better, but Origins was still enjoyable. One the post-main DLCs I particularly liked (which is rare for me).
I did not/do not enjoy in the least the modern-day story detours nonsense; I just sort of think of them as commercial breaks that I go get some water during and pay no attention to.
People who didn’t like Ubisoft’s turn towards RPG/open-world elements seem to have a more negative opinion of the game, I think.
Haven’t played Origins, but I’ve spent a lot of time with Odyssey which has my highest recommendation.
From a friend who’s opinion I trust, I’ve been told Origins is the less fleshed out version of Odyssey. He says that Origins started Assassin’s Creed on a new RPG focused track that really just worked for Origins and Odyssey (he claims they biffed Valhalla).
I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a different feel than previous AC games, so if you go in hoping for that, you might be disappointed. I think it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale.
I found it very relaxing and enjoyable. Excellent escapism. I don't particularly care for the RPG mechanics but I put up with them for the rest of the experience.
Create beautiful harmonies by controlling a group of animated blobs that sing together. In blob opera, you can adjust each blob’s pitch to form unique musical pieces. The game’s goal is to inspire creativity and provide a fun, interactive platform for exploring music.
Okay, I agree with the sentiment and all, but don’t you think that your comment is a little petty when you are not contributing to OP’s question and instead hijack the post to push an agenda?
Yeah maybe it was petty but I don’t think it was unwarranted. Every other comment so far was an exact clone of “It’s alright” so I figured I’d add a unique perspective to the conversation.
I will never be guilt tripped into speaking out against a company who engages in shitty practices, but nice try.
My man, this isn’t shaming. It’s someone politely pointing out that the entire world isn’t your personal soap box.
Want to speak out about how shit Ubisoft is? Go make your own thread. I’m being serious, Lemmy is overdue for some name and shame of horrendous game companies, and it’d be good to have some sort of megathread documenting their bullshittery here on the fediverse.
This also doesn’t really offer a different perspective on whether the game is enjoyable or not. Your justified distaste for Ubisoft is an entirely different topic to the question asked.
It’s alright, but I couldn’t get through it. It just was #notmyAC lol. Travel between quests took too long and the desert is not that interesting to me personally. Parcour was shallow and I hated the combat and progression systems.
I loved almost all of the old school style AC games, but they started to drop off after the Ezio trilogy. 3, Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate were fine, but they just didn’t quite have the same charm or were lacking in other areas. Still had a fun time with Black Flag and Syndicate.
Refinement wise origins is to Fallout 3 and Odyssey is to New Vegas.
I liked Origins. Tomb exploration. History lessons. Angry hippos. It was solid.
Odyssey is my favorite of the 3. Worth it.
Valhalla was too long. They took the Odyssey formula and just did too much. Normally I completionist games, but I could not finish those repeatable side quests. Odin’s marathon runs among other things. After Valhalla I had no interest in buying Mirage and doing it again.
