AC Origins! Did it meet expectations?

Ahh the release of yet another brilliant touch to the Assassins Creed franchise. The game was released initially on the 27th October 2017 and was being waited upon by many enthusiastic gamers just like my self, from the gameplay to the graphics everything seemed to be just brilliant.

The game is available on consoles like PlayStation 4, XBOX or even PC and pricing range is from about £35-£50. I've been playing Assassins Creed ever since the first game and have always enjoyed it until the story had changed from the revelations title. It seemed as if the game slowly started losing the quality of an 'assassin' but then Ubisoft decided to pull out a major number of stops and release the Origins title.

I'll be honest and say it fresh, its fun and it feels new. One of the best things that myself and other gamers have experienced is the open world map where there is a lot more to do than in any of the other titles. There are a huge number of side quests available to complete while going along the standard campaign missions and also a new levelling system in place where of course the higher the level of your character the more you can do and accomplish. It also means that in order to even complete main missions, side quests or even take on certain enemies - your character level should either match or be higher than the one stated in game.

The way that AC: Brotherhood had the Borgia towers to take down, in origins there are a number of camps available to infiltrate and have much more to accomplish. In a camp (depending on difficulty represented by number of spikes on icon on world map) there will be a captain, commander and a number of treasures to be looted in order to complete the one camp. Now sometimes there could be two captains or even two commanders however the worrying part is when the beacons are lit (their alarm system) which calls on reinforcements and a fire icon will show above the enemy who was called in as a reinforcement to look for you.

Now what could happen is either they send a few extra soldiers or bombard the place with horsemen and whatnot which could ruin any stealth strategies you might've had in place to get around. There is also civilians in some camps that you can release to gain extra XP for your character or even assist rebels who have been locked up for their crimes.

I do not want to give away too much as the game will speak for itself but I will say I am impressed by what Ubisoft have done for the game. There honestly is a lot to do and a number of unlockable/achievements available in game and I know that a range of gamers will be looking forward to it.
