I’m back at it with Assassin’s Creed Origins. And I have to be honest, whilst I haven’t finished Odyssey or Valhalla, I can say with 100% confidence that Origins is the best Assassin’s Creed game. I’ve loved the originals, Altaïr, the first face of the franchise. Ezio doing a lot of heavy lifting with Desmond […]
Straight out of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and into Origins. The re-imagining of the franchise, kind of. 25 hours in already, and it looks like I’m approximately half way through. Damn, this new Assassin’s Creed isn’t messing about! Set in Egypt, at the time of Cleopatra and the Greeks starting to muscle-in, you play Bayek, a […]
It’s been about two weeks since I finished Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, but I decided to let it soak-in, and I started Origins, so I wanted to see how stark the differences were. Potentially giving me a different perspective on it. So, a couple of weeks since playing it, I had to delete it to make […]
I’ve spent quite a substantial amount of time in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate since I last wrote about it, and I’ve got a couple of sequences left to do. Having nearly cleared-out nearly all of the districts in London, I’m getting kitted up and ready to hit the final sequences head-on as the Frye Twins. Approximately […]
I’ve toyed with the idea of getting one of the newer Assassin’s Creed games recently. Either Origins or Odyssey. Critically acclaimed, apparent game-changers for the series. Beyond that, I’ve played and finished every “main” entry in the series all the way up to Unity (not classing “Rogue” as one of these, but I’ll get to […]
Preface It’s done! I finished the main story missions, a fair few side missions and a few co-op missions. Thoughts I enjoyed this game, and I’ve gone into detail in two other posts about it already, so there’s no need to go over it. It looks fantastic, I actually enjoyed the story, and the […]
Preface I laid out some initial thoughts a few days ago, and then I’ve given some time to the co-op experience, but this is further look into the campaign and the game in general. In general This game is flawed, there’s no way to hide it. It has awful awful combat mechanics, tied-in […]
Preface In a well-timed accidental meeting of each other online, myself, Frostos and Tommygunlovers were able to finally give co-op a go in Assassin’s Creed: Unity. With very little expectation, we dived in! Free-roam = chaos I had no idea free-roam was an option, I thought we had a few special co-op missions to try, […]
Preface Ok, so I’m a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series, I’ve played and finished them almost religiously. Until…..I got tired of the franchise. No major changes for years, and the same old clunky controls, in an era of open-world games that have fluid fight systems (Batman Arkham series) and fluid movement, it started to […]
