Just Finished AC Origins after Playing Odyssey then Valhalla
It's crazy to me, but this is the most fun I have had in the "RPG" games. Yes, it has the fortress spam of the newer titles 100% and there is a grindiness to it, but it feels like there was so much attention paid to the path you take through the game. It reminds me of The Witcher III in a way, where it picks up heavily in the third act.
I've yet to play the DLCs, but Origins feels like a complete package of a world, with a mediocre RPG combat system, which is probably the biggest weakness. The world has so much diversity and things to discover, and I think that may be surprising to many who think that an Egypt map would just be desert. I was surprised!
There are of course a few puzzles (like the tombs, and the star sequences), but they are few and far between, being less annoying then the "puzzles" in Valhalla.
Anyway, take this as my very poorly constructed review of Origins. I cleared the entire map, and I can't wait to work on the DLCs!
