I remember smuggling this game into our military base during our mandatory one year military service. It was the highlight of our evening after our shifts were done. Literally 8 guys in one room, and in complete awe of everything, to the point were we would imagine our M-16s and Minimis being weapons of the Medjay. Even during guard duty, standing for six hours straight on the armored vehicle, I would imagine that I was guarding Ptolemy or Cleopatra in some estate in Memphis or Alexandria, and all eight of us switched to Egyptian or Greek names lol. October-December 2017.
There’s something about Egypt that captures our imagination, and sense of mysticism. It’s dark, it’s harsh... but it’s beautiful. The musical score is something wholly it’s own. It doesn’t quite feel like a traditional ac game but that doesn’t hurt what it is. Byek is an amazing protagonist. You connect with his pain, his rage, and his humanity for people in need. This will be one of the games that sticks with me as time continues it’s relentless march forward.
it's not so much the egypt part that is good, because it's already just a bunch of ancient ruins, but the roman/greek melting pot of that era was captured so beautifully in this game. This is truly the last great AC game
@@HappyroosterYT I liked the modern day ending in valhalla, finally a good modern day again, and also the norse mythology stuff was cool, and how they tied it in to the ISU storyline and also the ending with King Alfred. All fantastic. Sadly there was just too much bloat and it took way too long to get there. Over 100 hours of story. Most people probably gave up before getting to the good bits.
Odyssey may be enjoyable but Origins is a different animal, something so unique, even magical... and this soundtrack completes that magic majestically, it feels ancient and divine, gives you the feeling of desert and the long lost civilization in it.

There's just something about Ancient Egypt. For me, it's the sheer sense of age. Cleopatra was born closer to Pizza Hut being founded than she was to the Great Pyramid of Giza being built. Ancient Egypt spanned an almost incomprehensibly vast period of time that makes our heads hurt just to try and understand. We know so much about it and yet it still remains almost unknowable. This great civilisation that stood for thousands of years in one of the most inhospitable terrains humans have ever inhabited, that flowed and changed constantly and yet remained itself-it's incredible.
They were integrated and in touch with aliens for sure. The powers that be know this but they won’t admit it to the mass public. There’s a theory that they built the great pyramids with vibrations that could completely reverse gravity, that the blocks were floated on top of one another through sound/frequency vibrations. Even in the game when you activate the ancient mechanism you are told that your reality is just your perception of reality, and it suits those in power to keep you under illusion of that perception, even though it’s just a storyline I think the developers were also trying to make the audience think too, as there is a lot of truth to that back then, and in modern times.

Hands down the best AC in my opinion. The atmosphere of this game was incredible! The fighting was fun, the cutscenes were great! The graphics were gorgeous! This game holds a special place in my heart.
I didn't liked the combat that much because it was not very smooth compared to AC3 or Unity and I am more of a stealth guy too. I can confidently say the stealth is really fun in this game,
In my opinion Bayek was the most likeable assassin, all around honorable, charming, and purposeful in his actions. This game gave us a nuanced view of Ancient Egypt that didn't feel stereotypical, especially with this unique music. Such a beautiful game that really shows how far the gaming industry has come.
The music from 01:11:45 literally describes how far AC has come... I Love the fact that Ezio's family ends with Bayek's theme, perfectly capturing the journey of AC from the past 10 years...
That's not the only reason. Ezio's family are descendants of the "Hidden Ones", or more specifically, Aya. She created a Hidden Ones base in Italy after assassinating Ceasar and stayed there for almost the remainder of her life. When she died, she was buried next to Bayek in the Qattara Depression. It all comes full circle in the franchise. Aya and Ezio's family share the same blood and the same burden.
@@Fullmetal85 Ezio *cannot* be the descendant of Aya. If you would have played the game you'd know that her son Khemu literally died. Aya then left for Rome and probably came back, but I am quite sure that they didn't raise a child ever again, but what Aya and Bayek did raise was an ancient brotherhood. Well from Odyssey we know that Aya is distant descendant of Kassandra and from Leonidas. If Ezio is really a descendant of Aya it'd be from Aya's sibling.
Now I want to visit Egypt and visit those ancient site, because of this game. It is a life goal to atleast visit this ancient country once, when I visit and examine burial sites, pyramids and other places, I will turn this soundtrack on and then cry.
Ezio’s Family (Origins version) 01:09:59 Chthonic Invasion: 58:40 The Cracked Wall: 43:31 The Legions of Blood: 17:35 Bayek of Siwa: 05:49 Return of the Medjay: 03:17 My favorites
Completely agree. I think you have the same taste like me. But Iegions of blood at 18:55 is also good especially in the sad arabic instrumental part. You may like it :)
After this game I became obsessed with Egypt history, and I really wonder and appreciate how close authors of this game made the environment and the universe to reality. They made a really good work, and soundtrack is just another way of depression relief. I love this game and thankful to Ubisoft for AC universe.
For me it was the other way around. I was obsessed with ancient Egypt history and I couldn't wait to play Origins. I knew it will be an awesome game and it hadn't disappointed me yet!
I love origins so much that I have to listen to this while I study. It's so relaxing and mesmerizing. This game will remain my favorite assassin's creed. ❤
After the trilogy I can't shake the feeling that Origins received the best love and care and more importantly, time. Not even Valhalla rises to Origins.
@@ozymandias3329 Imo Valhalla is the best AC game, with Origins ond 2nd place and II at 3rd And I love especially these 3 games mostly because of their story, these 3 stories are the best for me
@@domiiinik99 It's really not, not only is Valhalla a cookie cutter, RPG POS, it has next to nothing to do with the Assassins. Anything that does relate is either a justification for conquering England, or feels like a tacky easter egg The best are II at 1st, Origins at 2nd and either Black Flag or revelations for 3rd
@@ozymandias3329 and it's funny how you are saying that Valhalla is bad because main character isn't assassin, yet you are naming Black Flag as one of the best, but Edward isn't assassin too, he becomes one only after he meets his daughter and returns to England
@@ubayyd it's a recurring melody in an album or soundtrack, usually used to tie things thematically together. You can hear it in that acid-guitar-y sounding background instrument in the opening theme.
This game was magical. The music, the desert, the exploration, the beautiful landscapes, and amazing roman architecture. I cannot complain anything about this games. It was magic.
I kid you not, I listen to this whenever I'm in a low mood or just generally feel like I need a spiritual boost. Works really well with headphones and the experience is mindblowing 🙌
Sarah Schachner Thank you very much for your hard and passionate work on this masterpiece! This music is amazing. PS- Ezio’s Family (Origins Version) is Ear-Gasm.
"I Walk on Your Water" is my favourite song! It always plays when I'm investigating something... It's like a movie taken song!!! Congratulations from Brazil!!!
You know I spent days looking at the surroundings before I even started the game it's so beautiful walking slowly with you camel on the dunes. I can't afford to travel to Egypt but this game made me feel like I was there. Its so beautiful thank you devs and Ubisoft
Probably the most atmospheric game of this generation about to pass. For anyone who loves Egypt, desert and exploration this is the bee's knees in honey.
I always loved ancient Egypt history, when I played this game for the first time I almost cried.... and the discovery mode was just the ice on the cake... wonderful...
01:09:59 That shit right there sold me on Origins. When i saw the outro for Origins with Ezio's Family (AKA THE Assassins Creed theme song) i knew that this was truly the first good AC in a long long while. It felt like seeing an old friend. I missed that AC, glad i got it back.
@@rover5058 All of the AC games recently still have an important impact on the franchise, just because you don’t play as an assassin doesn’t mean it can’t be part of the franchise, especially when the newer games have expanded on Isu lore
God I love this game. I spent countless hours running around aimlessly just listening to the music and exploring. I completed every quest, beat every enemy, anything I could. All the AC games have a special spot in my heart but Origins is in a class of its own. I adore this game.
One of the best gaming experiences ever. This game has so much love put to it by its creators, in every single aspect. It's a milestone for Ubisoft as far as I'm concerned. Valhalla can be a close second. Awesome game. Just awesome.
This game had an odd, warm feeling to it. Traversing the sands and exploring the wastelands, mingling in with the folks at populated areas. This is the closest Assassin's creed has been to an adventure game. And I loved the adventures!
Splat jesper kyd is a god.Just listen to assasins creed 2 soundtrack.Just go and listen to darksiders 2 ...war vs death,the guardian or plains of death theme s.So underrated as a game with such a beautiful music.But you are right...this one is good too
i dont know why but Origins FELT PURE i cant even explain it but the soundtrack the aestetich and the overall feel when you play the game was most unique. Oddysey is great and all but it lacks those feels....
odyssey was a disappointment. Valhalla is a great viking game but a bad AC game. They should stop naming them AC games, origins was the last AC game. To be fair I'm glad valhalla brought back some classic AC elements like stealth and hidden blade
this game was incredible and certainly thanks to the first music which immediately catch you in ancient egypt. The music catch the mystycism which surround this period and this country. It's like an invitation to play, it really peacefully catch you into an other world. First time I heard it I was telling to myself... ok what's this!? I let the music just to hear where it will drive me. And finally I heard cello, certainly guitarre (with distorsion), chorus..., it sounds familiar and it links to the present. In the same time, the work on harmony is relaly detailed, looks (or maybe hears) like egyptian/oriental music. It's smart, smooth and in the same time really dynamic. with a good use of silence in the start, in order to present you each theme, and then they progressively all enter in the music, producing a wonderfull mix. It's probably one of the best music about egypt I heard. It's really an amazing job, and I almost never say it about a film or a video game OST. To Sarah Schachner, you are really one of the best composer in this world!
Really really interesting approach to scoring a game set in Ancient Egypt, with no clear musical clues. I didn't expect all the synths and the dissonant drones, very very stylistically different and unique. I expected a lot of traditional instruments and the likes, but the synthesized layers add a superb feel to it! Especially on 'Bayek of Siwa', at 05:49. So unique, I just can't wrap my head around it, as a musician. Loved this soundtrack and the character it has. Really underappreciated, I feel, because all AC fans remember are Jesper's works. While he is a legendary composer in his own right, let's appreciate the individuality of each game too! Same goes for Austin Wintory's scores, for AC : Sydicate
I love the fact that Sarah's mix ambiance of ancient Egypt and the new music. That just en masterpiece, this feat perfectly with the history of animus, in our time but temporal travel to Egypt... I love, I love.
Origins honestly has one of the best soundtracks not just for an Assassins Creed game, but for any game. Really, the tracks are just so unique and charming in it's own way. And most certainly addictive and hard-hitting.
This is one of the absolute best game soundtracks I've heard. It's up there with Skyrim Elder Scrolls. The emotion conveyed in each track, from the calm to the vigilant, is so purely portrayed. The depth of each instrument is so beautiful, too. And the vocals are mesmerizing. I seriously love every song!
Ich liebe diese Musik und es ist nach wie vor mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel. ❤❤❤ Was evtl. daran liegt,dass ich das alte Ägypten, seit meiner Kindheit, liebe und mir immer gewünscht hatte ,durch diese Zeit wandern zu dürfen. Nochmals,tausend Dank,an alle Mitwirkenden,von diesem,für mich,genialen Spiel. ❤❤❤
Will never ever get bored of the Origins soundtrack. In my opinion it's the very best OST so far in the AC franchise. I keep finding myself coming back to listen to it over and over again. Thank you!
Great atmospheric soundtrack. Has kind of a dark and mystical vibe to it, perfect to describe the dangerous but fascinating landscape of ancient Egypt. Some of the synth sounds remind me of the 80s as well.
Origins was a complete class apart with its storyline, scenery, gameplay and Egypt itself has such a vibrant, deep, mysterious, harsh, and beautiful history at the same time. I absolutely love Origins and now eagerly waiting for Mirage. Music of the game is so captivating and it feels just right with the missions and gameplays. Not sure about if others noticed, I loved all the little tricks they added in such as the mirage that happens when you're in the desert and you see all from Bayek's past and unconscious thoughts coming to life in brinks of seconds. Origins was just amazing in every aspects. @Ubisoft please bring similar story back or another ancient or mysterious background of Egypt.
I don't understand the whole situation about Jesper Kyd. Yes he was incredible but so was Lorne Balfe and so is Sarah Schachner. They each have a unique style.
@@memecliparchives2254 well jesper kyd's work is my favorite in the series by far. but, the work from other composers has been really great too. so far there haven't been any assassin's creed games that have disappointed me with the music
dear Sarah, a low bow to you for this gorgeous music that clings to every nerve and feel euphoria from every loop, God bless you, let everything be fine in your life, stay the same beautiful and cheerful girl and we are waiting for new soundtracks from which you understand that life without music can not exist.with love from Russia.
I am playing this music every morning welcoming my kindergarten students to classroom. The music brings calmness as they enter and play quietly waiting for class to begin. Thank you.
I love movies and the history of Egypt. I was so excited when I found out that this game was based in Egypt. The clothing, language, and history just fascinates me
When I went on Origins the other day and opened the in game menu for the first time and Ezios Family played, I was really glad it was included in the game, thank you Sarah Schachner 😄👍👌
Adam James Williams-Kilburn the great thou about this version of Ezio's family is that it had its own identity and IS ACTUALLY GOOD. The other ones from rogue, unity or syndicate were clearly mimicking the original one.
Ezio's family are descendants of the "Hidden Ones", or more specifically, Aya. She created a Hidden Ones base in Italy after assassinating Ceasar and stayed there for almost the remainder of her life. When she died, she was buried next to Bayek in the Qattara Depression.

1:54 love the 80s synthwaves, gives an extra layer of mystery and nostalgia

I walk on your water is my favorite...specially the repeating sequence starting at 34:27 I remember hearing this while bayek did the investigations in quests.
Can't point on something specific, she was in Tyler's team and was co-compositor and work on arrangement. I'm almost 100% sure that strings was her job soundiron.com/pages/artist-spotlight
I got goosebumps when I first heard of ezio's family (the origins version). Sarah Schachner is a very talented composer. I was overjoyed when they returned with Jesper Kyd in Assassins Creed Valhalla.
i just love how bayek protect innocents but is a man of sin himself,seeking for revenge but at same time wishing for peace. it totally relatable...stubborn yet wise...doest take anything too serious but has integrity and honor. perfect warrior. they better make a movie out thiss game!!! no kap
AC Origins was my first AC game and it was such a wonderful experience. It's the only game where I obtained a platinum trophee on PS4. I usually don't go for platinum because there are always a few trophees that involve lots of grinding or completing the game 2-3 times, which I often don't find enjoyable but with this game, I wanted to explore everything and I wanted to play it again. I completed it two times and if I wasn't so busy with other stuff, I'd buy it again for PC and go for 100% again. I was hoping that Odyssey would give me the same feeling but for some reason, it doesn't. I liked to play it the first time but I got bored halfway through my second playthrough. I haven't even played the DLC's yet :(
I love this! Yes this is such a great game. As many have said “it just gives that magical feeling”. Lots of people have said Odyssey doesn’t have that feeling. However, I have heard that Assassins Creed Black Flag is very good. I’m going to try it out after I finish Origins (just started playing origins a couple days ago and I am incapsulated in the universe, it’s outstanding)
The DLCs for Odyssey are pretty great IMO, I can understand you maybe getting bored of odyssey on the second play through, if you ever play Valhalla, it’s a good game if you pace yourself and don’t burnout, because that game is long af
@@carwynwilliams7398 I happend to have bought Valhalla yesterday because it was on sale and it started to itch to try it ^^ But I definitely plan on pacing myself and enjoying the experience
Idk what it is but this soundtrack brings me back to life. It’s a different feeling when you truly enjoy a game and just wanna come back home from school or work just to play it.
The guards here are vigilant
They will attack on site
I must be careful now
I should be cautious around here
This area is off limits.
Bayek: "I shouldn't be seen in this area"
Me: *Hears detection sound/noise*
Also Bayek: How did those neket iadets see me?
Becoming Bayek and escaping to ancient Egypt was my coping mechanism during my divorce, my first AC game and still my favorite.
Nice
Only your first ? You have 9 left to do lol
How can something be your favorite if you have nothing to compare it to? lol
Good job

The reason we loved Origins so much is because it feels like the old assassins creed games. He’s a combination of Ezio and Altiair.
Bayek was truly a great Character Alexios in Odyssey feels so bland
Exactly. They revived the franchise with this masterpiece and improved parts but kept that AC core gameplay in
That’s why he’s the best protagonist. He has attributes of most of the ac protagonists.
He has fighting skills like Edward and Connor. He is legendary like Altair. He is stealthy and badass like ezio. He is honest like Shay. He is kind like eivor. He is feisty like kassandra/alexios. Sensible like Evie. He fights for freedom like adewale. Chilled out and laid back like Jacob.

It all comes full circle in the franchise.
Aya and Ezio's family share the same blood and the same burden.
@HenKaya Ezio is not a decendant of Aya
@@Fullmetal85 Ezio *cannot* be the descendant of Aya. If you would have played the game you'd know that her son Khemu literally died. Aya then left for Rome and probably came back, but I am quite sure that they didn't raise a child ever again, but what Aya and Bayek did raise was an ancient brotherhood. Well from Odyssey we know that Aya is distant descendant of Kassandra and from Leonidas. If Ezio is really a descendant of Aya it'd be from Aya's sibling.
So fucking true
anyone else still listening to this while AC Odyssey is out? :)
yup
Yes
Way better then Odyssey
Ofc, it's Bayek of Siwa, the first Assassin.
My second favorite Assassin's Creed game, the first being Assassin's Creed 2.
Yup
Now I want to visit Egypt and visit those ancient site, because of this game. It is a life goal to atleast visit this ancient country once, when I visit and examine burial sites, pyramids and other places, I will turn this soundtrack on and then cry.
Same here, but idk when to travel. It would be so cool if by accident, when I travel down there, I would hear someone play this soundtrack lol
It's nothing like it used to be sadly
Imagine finding the burial site of the last eqyptian medjay somewhere during your visit....🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@AverageAlien at least the pyramids are there
You should visit Luxor and the valley of the kings and queens I went there 3 times, stunning I have no words to describe the beauty
Ezio’s Family (Origins version) 01:09:59
Chthonic Invasion: 58:40
The Cracked Wall: 43:31
The Legions of Blood: 17:35
Bayek of Siwa: 05:49
Return of the Medjay: 03:17
My favorites
Completely agree. I think you have the same taste like me. But Iegions of blood at 18:55 is also good especially in the sad arabic instrumental part. You may like it :)
01:09:59 sounds nothing like ezios family
Agree : ) I liked " 05:49 Bayek of Siwa " and " 23:34 Fire in the Duat" too
Still in love with AC 2 Ezio he is the best in this series..
@@RandikeMendis Indeed ! I have a lot of great memories with AC II , 2009 was a great year when they released it 👍👍
That bad feeling when you finished the dlc’s and there’s nothing left to do in the game 😭
that's exactly how i feel now,i had so much fun in the sinai and discovering the afterlives in valley of the kings,nostalgia dude
I finished odyssey and started origins over again, feels so good
Z i know, Odyssey isn’t as good as Origins.
Yeah, I started a NG+ 2 years later my first save because fck man I love everything of this game.
I feel that
After this game I became obsessed with Egypt history, and I really wonder and appreciate how close authors of this game made the environment and the universe to reality. They made a really good work, and soundtrack is just another way of depression relief. I love this game and thankful to Ubisoft for AC universe.
For me it was the other way around. I was obsessed with ancient Egypt history and I couldn't wait to play Origins. I knew it will be an awesome game and it hadn't disappointed me yet!
32:27 If your feeling stressed.
Same I tought I was the only one who liked that one. I remember the Sinc points, man I wanted to hear that Soundtrack all the time!!!!!
I love origins so much that I have to listen to this while I study. It's so relaxing and mesmerizing. This game will remain my favorite assassin's creed. ❤
After the trilogy I can't shake the feeling that Origins received the best love and care and more importantly, time. Not even Valhalla rises to Origins.
Valhalla was a real let down
@@ozymandias3329 Imo Valhalla is the best AC game, with Origins ond 2nd place and II at 3rd
And I love especially these 3 games mostly because of their story, these 3 stories are the best for me
@@domiiinik99 It's really not, not only is Valhalla a cookie cutter, RPG POS, it has next to nothing to do with the Assassins. Anything that does relate is either a justification for conquering England, or feels like a tacky easter egg
The best are II at 1st, Origins at 2nd and either Black Flag or revelations for 3rd
@@ozymandias3329 well, no
Valhalla is just the best for me
@@ozymandias3329 and it's funny how you are saying that Valhalla is bad because main character isn't assassin, yet you are naming Black Flag as one of the best, but Edward isn't assassin too, he becomes one only after he meets his daughter and returns to England
Oh my god. She inverted the Ezio theme 4-tone melody, lowered the key, and made it the leitmotif. This woman is a goddamn genius.
What's a leitmotif?
@@ubayyd Check out the youtube channel sideways
@@ubayyd it's a recurring melody in an album or soundtrack, usually used to tie things thematically together. You can hear it in that acid-guitar-y sounding background instrument in the opening theme.
Good observation bruv
This game is pure escapism.
They really did a great job at capturing a sound that magnifies the experience of Ancient Egypt.
I'm in love with the soundtrack :)
same
Was geht FragNart, ich auch
35:03 these drums gives goosebumps..a great creativity from the composer.
exactly
32:28 - 33:31 Such a sweet spot for me
So truee
reminds me a bit of Far Cry 4
Same man! Ever since I heard that beautiful segment in the Cyrene synchronization I was hooked!
I fucking love that thing. Is my favourite in the entire album damn
Same ! I love this part so much !
Came here for 1:00:40 - The whole thing won me on this game as being one of the best AC games ever!
can't believe they put that ezio's family ost **cry's in nostalgia**
Ezio's Family is probably the most inappropriate piece for the fucking Ancient Egypt, lol
I cried too... and lighted up the PS 4 for another AC 2 :D
Ramiz S Oh stfu. It's a fan favorite piece, and it was altered to fit the setting, Quit whining
gave me instant chills ! :')
OMG it was not just me :P
This game was magical. The music, the desert, the exploration, the beautiful landscapes, and amazing roman architecture. I cannot complain anything about this games. It was magic.
Pure goosebumps! For me, Origins had one of the best atmospheres ever
i can't enjoy odyssey like i enjoyed origins so much..
Same...
Because RPG, Bayek is Bayek, but Kassandra/Alexios is "your answer" you know what i mean ? ^^
krawchicken same
Y_CorRuptoR_Y #Balance exactly bayek has his own personality and alexios/kassandra is supposed to be you’re own interpretation
ikr??
I kid you not, I listen to this whenever I'm in a low mood or just generally feel like I need a spiritual boost. Works really well with headphones and the experience is mindblowing 🙌
Sarah Schachner Thank you very much for your hard and passionate work on this masterpiece!
This music is amazing.
PS- Ezio’s Family (Origins Version) is Ear-Gasm.
Safety-Broken my absolutely favorite is "track 3"... it's amazing
Safety-Broken was just about to say the same thing
And she's a beauty too, with a musical soul, that's one hell of a dangerous combination
@@thewolfateandthegoatremain2454 i dont get it. it would be dangerous if she was drug addict. whatever.
@@brunofenara88 me too man. Such epic.
"I Walk on Your Water" is my favourite song! It always plays when I'm investigating something... It's like a movie taken song!!! Congratulations from Brazil!!!
I got this game like 2 months ago and JUST (about 8 minutes ago) got to the part where Byek said “I walk on your water” to Aya, cool coincidence
Sarah Schachner work is some of my favorite. COD MW, Prey (2022), and AC Origins.
This game is just amazing! Bayek is one of my favorite Assassin’s Creed protagonists.
You know I spent days looking at the surroundings before I even started the game it's so beautiful walking slowly with you camel on the dunes. I can't afford to travel to Egypt but this game made me feel like I was there. Its so beautiful thank you devs and Ubisoft
And to see creepy illusion and hallucinations too 😅
This soundtrack is just simply amazing. Easily one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time.
Probably the most atmospheric game of this generation about to pass. For anyone who loves Egypt, desert and exploration this is the bee's knees in honey.
I always loved ancient Egypt history, when I played this game for the first time I almost cried.... and the discovery mode was just the ice on the cake... wonderful...
01:09:59
That shit right there sold me on Origins. When i saw the outro for Origins with Ezio's Family (AKA THE Assassins Creed theme song) i knew that this was truly the first good AC in a long long while. It felt like seeing an old friend. I missed that AC, glad i got it back.
And it's gone again
Origins was the only ac game that actually felt like an ac game in the last 7 years. It's a shame ubisoft got greedy...they have unreal potential
@@rover5058 All of the AC games recently still have an important impact on the franchise, just because you don’t play as an assassin doesn’t mean it can’t be part of the franchise, especially when the newer games have expanded on Isu lore
Schachner is so talented! The music matches the game!
God I love this game. I spent countless hours running around aimlessly just listening to the music and exploring. I completed every quest, beat every enemy, anything I could. All the AC games have a special spot in my heart but Origins is in a class of its own. I adore this game.
Thank you, Sarah Schachner, for the great trail you left here. I love your music more than I love the game and the game is dope
One of the best gaming experiences ever. This game has so much love put to it by its creators, in every single aspect. It's a milestone for Ubisoft as far as I'm concerned. Valhalla can be a close second. Awesome game. Just awesome.
1. Origins
2. ll
3. Black Flag
4. Oddisey
5. Syndicate
.....................
104. Valhalla
This game had an odd, warm feeling to it. Traversing the sands and exploring the wastelands, mingling in with the folks at populated areas. This is the closest Assassin's creed has been to an adventure game. And I loved the adventures!
I still miss Jesper Kyd, but I like what I’m hearing so far ;)
Splat jesper kyd is a god.Just listen to assasins creed 2 soundtrack.Just go and listen to darksiders 2 ...war vs death,the guardian or plains of death theme s.So underrated as a game with such a beautiful music.But you are right...this one is good too
ı totally agree with you.
Splat jesper Kyd hasn't been making music for the assassins creed franchise for years now
Austin Wintory made the music for Syndicate, and it's amazing. Highly recommended to listen to the soundtrack. The pub songs are so fun to sing.
you said it all
I wish I could erase my memory just so I could play this game again as if it were the first time and experience it all over again.
Nothing can beat this AC game feel, soundtrack and overall being one of the better open world games I have played
This game was incredible...i enjoyed it a lot. It's underrated honestly
the "feeling" of this game is so unique.
Bayek of Siwa is the best track in my opinion. It captures feeling of ancient Egypt and main character very well.
i dont know why but Origins FELT PURE i cant even explain it but the soundtrack the aestetich and the overall feel when you play the game was most unique.
Oddysey is great and all but it lacks those feels....
200% true, but I liked the story of Odyssey. Just the story sadly...
Ancient Egypt has that affect on people it truly is a land of mystery.
odyssey was a disappointment. Valhalla is a great viking game but a bad AC game. They should stop naming them AC games, origins was the last AC game. To be fair I'm glad valhalla brought back some classic AC elements like stealth and hidden blade
@@Kingofgondor4619 this game wasn't set in ancient egypt
@@AverageAlien Hellenistic Egypt whatever it was awesome.
this game was incredible and certainly thanks to the first music which immediately catch you in ancient egypt. The music catch the mystycism which surround this period and this country. It's like an invitation to play, it really peacefully catch you into an other world. First time I heard it I was telling to myself... ok what's this!? I let the music just to hear where it will drive me. And finally I heard cello, certainly guitarre (with distorsion), chorus..., it sounds familiar and it links to the present. In the same time, the work on harmony is relaly detailed, looks (or maybe hears) like egyptian/oriental music. It's smart, smooth and in the same time really dynamic. with a good use of silence in the start, in order to present you each theme, and then they progressively all enter in the music, producing a wonderfull mix.
It's probably one of the best music about egypt I heard.
It's really an amazing job, and I almost never say it about a film or a video game OST. To Sarah Schachner, you are really one of the best composer in this world!
Really really interesting approach to scoring a game set in Ancient Egypt, with no clear musical clues.
I didn't expect all the synths and the dissonant drones, very very stylistically different and unique. I expected a lot of traditional instruments and the likes, but the synthesized layers add a superb feel to it! Especially on 'Bayek of Siwa', at 05:49. So unique, I just can't wrap my head around it, as a musician. Loved this soundtrack and the character it has. Really underappreciated, I feel, because all AC fans remember are Jesper's works. While he is a legendary composer in his own right, let's appreciate the individuality of each game too! Same goes for Austin Wintory's scores, for AC : Sydicate
What do you mean? Ac has always had Sci-fi mixed in their music to allude to the animus/isu.
"A divided land"still gives me goosebumps :(
Damn I still cry for my lovely nephew Shadya
@@hofame8562 niece*
I love the fact that Sarah's mix ambiance of ancient Egypt and the new music. That just en masterpiece, this feat perfectly with the history of animus, in our time but temporal travel to Egypt... I love, I love.
Origins honestly has one of the best soundtracks not just for an Assassins Creed game, but for any game. Really, the tracks are just so unique and charming in it's own way. And most certainly addictive and hard-hitting.
it gives me goosebumps and makes me emotional
This is one of the absolute best game soundtracks I've heard. It's up there with Skyrim Elder Scrolls. The emotion conveyed in each track, from the calm to the vigilant, is so purely portrayed. The depth of each instrument is so beautiful, too. And the vocals are mesmerizing. I seriously love every song!
Incredible. We want a 'behind the music' please

I have good memories of this game. Soundtrack is amazing and sets the ambience very well.
Ich liebe diese Musik und es ist nach wie vor mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel. ❤❤❤
Was evtl. daran liegt,dass ich das alte Ägypten, seit meiner Kindheit, liebe und mir immer gewünscht hatte ,durch diese Zeit wandern zu dürfen.
Nochmals,tausend Dank,an alle Mitwirkenden,von diesem,für mich,genialen Spiel. ❤❤❤
Ja, ich am liebsten AC origins
Will never ever get bored of the Origins soundtrack. In my opinion it's the very best OST so far in the AC franchise. I keep finding myself coming back to listen to it over and over again. Thank you!
Great atmospheric soundtrack. Has kind of a dark and mystical vibe to it, perfect to describe the dangerous but fascinating landscape of ancient Egypt. Some of the synth sounds remind me of the 80s as well.
35:30 love it
Origins was a complete class apart with its storyline, scenery, gameplay and Egypt itself has such a vibrant, deep, mysterious, harsh, and beautiful history at the same time. I absolutely love Origins and now eagerly waiting for Mirage. Music of the game is so captivating and it feels just right with the missions and gameplays. Not sure about if others noticed, I loved all the little tricks they added in such as the mirage that happens when you're in the desert and you see all from Bayek's past and unconscious thoughts coming to life in brinks of seconds. Origins was just amazing in every aspects. @Ubisoft please bring similar story back or another ancient or mysterious background of Egypt.
32:30 this part really give me chills
Synchronizing sound right?
The only piece that makes me enjoy the air in a tall place to make a leap of faith
@@hazminaiman5453 Yeah it’s like certain regions of the north west side of the map Egypt. I forgot the names of them however.
@@AFGsultanZ It happens in Cyrene
@@SyedShadabHussaini1996 yep that’s what’s it’s called. The Roman territory. And I meant north west, not east.
Origins was my first AC game. So greatly done. Ubisoft really took it's time exploring egyptian life and history.
I don't understand the whole situation about Jesper Kyd. Yes he was incredible but so was Lorne Balfe and so is Sarah Schachner. They each have a unique style.
because he was legendary
@@zorex. and he is, doesn't mean zealots can hate on Sarah Schachner for not being better than him.
@@memecliparchives2254 well jesper kyd's work is my favorite in the series by far. but, the work from other composers has been really great too. so far there haven't been any assassin's creed games that have disappointed me with the music
I loved Austin Wintory as well.
As a matter of fact, Lorne Balfe's score for ACIII is my favorite of the saga. And one of my 12 best albums of all time. So... sorry Jesper.
This soundtrack is amazing. Sarah Schachner did a truly fantastic job.
Thanks Sarah and Ubi for this masterpiece ❤
BARELY STARTED UP AC ORIGINS , BUT TILL THIS DAY AC4 THE BEST ONE SOOOO FAR
best soundtrack since Ezio's Trilogy. You really went through this tale and its places, Sarah. thanks a lot.
dear Sarah, a low bow to you for this gorgeous music that clings to every nerve and feel euphoria from every loop, God bless you, let everything be fine in your life, stay the same beautiful and cheerful girl and we are waiting for new soundtracks from which you understand that life without music can not exist.with love from Russia.
I am playing this music every morning welcoming my kindergarten students to classroom. The music brings calmness as they enter and play quietly waiting for class to begin. Thank you.
Good on ya buddy! I wonder how many will figure it out!
Why has it taken me to long to look up this amazing music?
what a great game!
I love movies and the history of Egypt. I was so excited when I found out that this game was based in Egypt. The clothing, language, and history just fascinates me
This is my favorite AC game. Yes I have played them all.
Me.too, i played odyssy and valhalla, but bayek story is my best
Proud to be an Egyptian AND will always be Proud to be one of those GREATERS
Origins was a masterpiece. True masterpiece.
I agree with you! Masterpiece!
I love the game just for the music and the place where it happens
Every single track is such a bop.
When I went on Origins the other day and opened the in game menu for the first time and Ezios Family played, I was really glad it was included in the game, thank you Sarah Schachner 😄👍👌
Adam James Williams-Kilburn the great thou about this version of Ezio's family is that it had its own identity and IS ACTUALLY GOOD. The other ones from rogue, unity or syndicate were clearly mimicking the original one.
Ezio's family are descendants of the "Hidden Ones", or more specifically, Aya.
She created a Hidden Ones base in Italy after assassinating Ceasar and stayed there for almost the remainder of her life.
When she died, she was buried next to Bayek in the Qattara Depression. It all comes full circle in the franchise.

1:54 love the 80s synthwaves, gives an extra layer of mystery and nostalgia
I walk on your water is my favorite...specially the repeating sequence starting at 34:27 I remember hearing this while bayek did the investigations in quests.
Origins is the best AC from ubisoft's RPG era.
One of best soundtracks. Sometimes it's my companion at work. First modern AC i played - maybe that is reason why i liked it most of all AC games.
5:49 gives me shivers
On the moon?
We already heard Sarah Schachner in AC: Black Flag. Happy that she is return as a composer in AC: Origins.
Did we? I thought it was composed by this Brian Tyler guy, did she write any specific song?
Can't point on something specific, she was in Tyler's team and was co-compositor and work on arrangement. I'm almost 100% sure that strings was her job
soundiron.com/pages/artist-spotlight
Of course man, you were in the studio and know better. Thanks for info.
jeez, offended much? or simply crying like a little b SJW?
Sarah Schachner did Vol.2 of Unity, not Black Flag.
I got goosebumps when I first heard of ezio's family (the origins version). Sarah Schachner is a very talented composer. I was overjoyed when they returned with Jesper Kyd in Assassins Creed Valhalla.
Extremely an incredible game
I've played this game for more than 8 times and I keep playing it over and over again
A very special game for me, now the soundtrack helps me to focus on study
The main theme is really powerful and mystic altogether.
i just love how bayek protect innocents but is a man of sin himself,seeking for revenge but at same time wishing for peace. it totally relatable...stubborn yet wise...doest take anything too serious but has integrity and honor. perfect warrior. they better make a movie out thiss game!!! no kap
AC Origins was my first AC game and it was such a wonderful experience.
It's the only game where I obtained a platinum trophee on PS4. I usually don't go for platinum because there are always a few trophees that involve lots of grinding or completing the game 2-3 times, which I often don't find enjoyable but with this game, I wanted to explore everything and I wanted to play it again. I completed it two times and if I wasn't so busy with other stuff, I'd buy it again for PC and go for 100% again.
I was hoping that Odyssey would give me the same feeling but for some reason, it doesn't. I liked to play it the first time but I got bored halfway through my second playthrough. I haven't even played the DLC's yet :(
I love this! Yes this is such a great game. As many have said “it just gives that magical feeling”. Lots of people have said Odyssey doesn’t have that feeling. However, I have heard that Assassins Creed Black Flag is very good. I’m going to try it out after I finish Origins (just started playing origins a couple days ago and I am incapsulated in the universe, it’s outstanding)
The DLCs for Odyssey are pretty great IMO, I can understand you maybe getting bored of odyssey on the second play through, if you ever play Valhalla, it’s a good game if you pace yourself and don’t burnout, because that game is long af
@@carwynwilliams7398 I happend to have bought Valhalla yesterday because it was on sale and it started to itch to try it ^^ But I definitely plan on pacing myself and enjoying the experience
Idk what it is but this soundtrack brings me back to life. It’s a different feeling when you truly enjoy a game and just wanna come back home from school or work just to play it.
Thank you Ubisoft for this amazing project
