No you won't be. Although you should play Syndicate and Unity when you get some time. Origins and Odyssey both will take a lot of your time.

pa-ra-kram Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 If you can get Odyssey, you can entirely skip the Origins. Both games have almost the same mechanic with Odyssey basically being an improved version of Origins. I also went with Origins anticipating Ancient Egypt. I had just finished Far Cry: Primal and was excited to play more historic games. But the AC:Origins is not that much ancient Egypt except for the location. The pyramids were built at around 2500BC, and the game is set in ~50BC. Also, I expected a better origins story, on how and why the creed formed. The endgame twist is super awesome, but the whole origins can be explained in 3-4 lines. It is definitely not a bad game, and I enjoyed playing though it. But when I got Odyssey just after finishing that, it felt like going through the same game again, but in a different location. If I had to do it again, I would haven't played Origins and directly gone for Odyssey. However, if you play Origins, and don't plan to continue with Odyssey anytime soon, definitely go for Origins. Again, not a bad game, and one of the best game in AC franchise, but I will suggest rather watch the story of Origins on YouTube, and skip directly to Odyssey.

There is a story campaign you know. You do have to do random side quests to get enough XP to meet the minimum level requirements of the story missions tho. btw It's Greco-Egyptian, with Romans under Caesar and Cleopatra etc, you also get to visit a part of Libya called Cyrenaica which is under Roman rule, complete with a Colisseum and all.

Black_Hawk Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thanks so much for all the input guys but this plan to play Origins is on hold for now as I just started Desperados III a couple of hours ago and I'm hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gecko89 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Finished the story, loved the game. Returned to AC after Black Flag and the story, combat, map everything clicked. Going after the plat and holy tits the map is freakin huge, gonna take a long time to get the last trophy. And this is supposed to be the smallest among Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla!!

But am enjoying Odeyssey enough to buy gold edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game seemed fine to me regardless of what everyone says. If DLC has nothing good to offer than i rather not buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
