Assassin's Creed: Origins

In the final stretch...

Enjoyed the game for the most part. If you loved Witcher 3 and came to this hoping for a similar experience, I think you will be happy.

Having said that, the main difference, for me, is that the side quests in Origins are extremely forgettable/boring. Way too much walking/riding to a location and killing a bad guy(s). Not a whole lot of creativity otherwise. I loved the fact that there were many side quests in the Witcher 3 that didn't end in murder/death.

The visuals are outstanding. Probably the best looking console game I've played (XBOX X on a 4K HDR TV). Much of my play time was devoted to wandering around and taking in the scenes, which is a big part of most open-world games.

I put 75 hours into the game. There is much more to do, but as I've said, the side quests have worn me down, and I'm ready to close this one out and move on to the next game.

Just finished up Origins myself a sometime last week. Would have to say that I hyped to finally get the game out of my backlog for several reasons. The main reason is the fact that I practice Kemeticism which is Ancient Egyptian spirituality so having a game set in Ancient Egypt instantly got my attention.

Now I'm starting to work my way through Odyssey.
