Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Just started playing Odyssey yesterday, sitting around lvl 16 and 8-ish hours (exploring all of Phokis rn) so this is perfect timing!
Reserve the next couple months of your life 😂😂😂😂. If you want to platinum it (this is the 1st game I've ever), you're going to grind my friend. You'll easily get into the 70+ hour range. There will be a point where you'll get tired of some repetitive mercenary fighting. But it's a cool game....... just bloated.
I know I’m literally playing origins rn
Uff get ready to do around 200 hours just to visit every island , i highly recommend you to do side missions there and then become at least 2 levels higher than the bosses, and upgrade the ship first
accept Jesus Christ he loves u died n rose again for ur forgiveness
Origins is my favourite AC-Game...the soundtrack,the story and all the graphics are just a masterpiece for me and fit perfectly together😍...Love your Videos
I share the exact same view, the soundtrack is phenomenal. The game is a masterpiece
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the best in the whole series.
@@Mr.Davs2216Eh debatable, personally I'm not big into the whole pirate thing.
@@Mr.Davs2216 Black Flag isn't just the best AC game, it's in the top 20 of all time games. Assassins Creed 2 is really good also.
@@Andrew-lp1ns Yes, of course but most of the newer Gamers are gonna like the most recent or newest game. That's the one they'll most likely play first and many of them will skip the older games.
Oddessy might be hated for not including major things that are synonymous with AC, but I still believe that it is a great game that deserved its game of the year nomination, it just should have tried to incorporate more of what we know from AC
I really think it did, but in the modern story. It really should be treated as an AC before the Hidden Ones appeared. It showed us how the Order of the Ancints got formed, and that mythical creatures of greek mythology were creations of the Isu, wich Alexios defeated to get the apples of Eden to seal Atlantis. Also, he guarded the Staff of Hermes over the crnturies until Layla showed up to set the stage for AC Valhalla modern story. But hey, it's easy to throw with mud and say "this is no AC gane, no Ezio stuff here". I agree it is nit perfect, but I do think it is a very good game.
you forget to mention it also breaks the entire lore assassins creed set up for 11 years in one single game.
it should have never been an AC title. 😂 it would have been outstanding if they made it an stand alone title.
I recently just platinumed Odyssey after trying and putting it down two times before and loved every minute. I think it requires a certain kind of mindset to play, kind of like death stranding
@@raymi9612how did it form the order
I’ve done multiple playthroughs for both Origins and Odyssey. I absolutely love Greek mythology, it’s really easy to understand and kind of ironic in a way, which is something Odyssey specializes in quite well. Besides the damage sponge enemies getting repetitive, I enjoy almost every mechanic about the game. Origins, however, made me think more about the story then about the RPG grind. To me, Bayek was much more important than Kassandra, and his story was much more meaningful to me. I also found the animations in Origins to seem more smooth I guess, than Odyssey’s which seemed sort of choppy. Seeing Origins have a map that also didn’t have copy and paste locations made all of Egypt seem different, which I absolutely loved. Origins definitely takes the cake for me, much more similar to the idea of Assassins to begin with, but Odyssey was extremely underrated when it came out, and I’m glad it’s getting recognition now, as I would suggest anyone who’s played some of the RPG games to try Odyssey. Thanks for reading 😅
Origins is a masterpiece, I spend hours running around with no HUD just becoming immersed in the incredible world. The soundtrack is also exqusite. I bought both the DLC's recently and Curse of the Pharos is breathtaking
I loved both. I liked odyssey as a game better by quite a bit. Origins is more ac focused tho
There is no such thing as the best game over the ac fan base because every game is someone’s favorite
was about to argue but then i realized that actually makes sense
Only one I've never heard is anyone's #1 game is Syndicate. Only heard Valhalla as an answer from people who have played 3 or less of the games.
@skolcole From personal experience, I've met a couple of people who said Syndicate was their favorite. Specifically because they were into the Victorian era.
Well I like AC 1 the most despite it's flaws.
Origins has such a special place in my heart, it's just perfect to me. Sometimes I turn on the game just to explore the desert and enjoy the views. Other than that, Bayek and Aya are amazing, the DLCs are great, the story is great as well. Such a fun game ❤️
dont forget the music !
@@lewisgreen5910 100%! Especially in the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC they added a lot of ambient music depending on location
Both great games but I like Origins more, probably biased because I love Egyptian Ancient History
Fr, when i started my first history class in 2016 in 6th grade i personally thought egypt was overrated and boring and i liked mesopotamia more. one year later i get origins and i fell in love with ancient egypt. crazy how a game can just change your perspective on the simplest of things 😭
Mesopotamia imo is still underrated tho. So as Persia. Usually when it comes to ancient history, you mostly learn Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Not so much on Mesopotamia and Persia, as well as China. You do learn it here and there tho.
@@uppin_downers its great when games can do that. I learned more about world history playing the OG Civilization than in history class in school.
@@marinewillis1202same here lol
The setting and vibe of Origins is unmatched. The sound track creeps in at the right times, it’s such a perfectly formulated sound track too. Gives off mysterious and other worldy vibes.
Odyssey is rated higher that Origins on Steam, and I agree with the rating, it's just a better game.
I just wanted to say I really enjoy your content and love for the series. Can't wait for the next one.
It was really weird that you didn't mention the three main pillars of AC ( so basically a gameplay category ), it seems like an important thing to know when ranking AC games or any games in general.
Imo, Origins is better as an AC game
Odyssey is better as an rpg.
But, it is easily noticeable that Origins was made with much more love and passion than Odyssey. Maybe the 10th anniversary was part of it
Well… Odyssey *IS* an RPG game and Origins is *NOT* it just has an open world.
*_"Origins was made with much more love and passion than Odyssey."_*
I disagree, Odyssey has far more attention to detail and historic accuracy, also the sea battles are extremely well done, especially during heavy storms. It's also higher rated than Origins on Steam.
I really look forward to the hidden ones videos, one if the best out here, detailed, interesting, ones to wait for
I almost finished the curse of the pharao’s and after going to do Odynsie, but I love Egypt, its beautifull
I love Odyssey. It’s the only AC game I’ve really played (minus an excursion into some of the old games) and I prefer RPGs versus the stealth stuff. I am also a huge Greek Mythology fan, so it hit all the right marks for me.
It’s weird seeing someone fight the Minotaur normally because i always fought it the same way I fought the cyclops, by circling it and pelting it with arrows.
Im only 20h into Odyssey but so far its been great and the gameplay feels more refined and smoother tham Origins tbh
Origins is truly the best ac game ever in terms of length , story, gameplay and setting. There’s no better.
This will be kinda long. The only issues I have with both of these games is the lack of some grounding of the character to the open world. It feels like you exist on the game world rather than in it after it’s done wowing you with its beauty. What I mean is stuff like being able to sprint across the entire map, never needing to take care of your gear, ship or character. The climb everything mechanic as well as stuff like ignoring fall damage, which is cool in theory but when you understand that it exists not to enhance traversal but to stop it from feeling tedious is kind if disappointing. It would have been cool if you could purchase one of the many little homes around the map in every major area and interact with it. Have it be a place where you have a stash and can rejuvenate and relax with actual benefits. We should be able to interact with the city as well, like maybe buy stuff from the markets, rest at some public or private pool, eat at a tavern and stuff like that. If I’m gonna cross a whole desert or sea instead of fast traveling , it should be more engaging and feel like a journey. It should be something I have to make sure I’m prepped for. Doesn’t need to be a huge deal but just something that keeps the immersion. I’d like to be able to setup camp in the frontiers, have the horse mean more than just ‘faster than running’ and hunting be more immersive. As it is the only two ways of interacting with the game world is fight or traverse. Which feels like being blue balled because the game world is so well detailed and is begging to be interacted with.
That and I wished for more dynamic activities and events in the game world. Origins had a lot of dynamic patterns for the npcs and their activity cycles. But none that you could interact with, you could only just watch. Except finding enemies fighting eachother and choosing to intervene, which really just had you agro everyone against you, there wasn’t much dynamic encounters. I think most of the side quests should have just been dynamic activities you come across organically. If you were to sit back and watch, especially origins, the NPC patters, including animals would amaze you. All they needed to add Is a dynamic and organic way to interact with it besides just fight or in a quest.
The combat also got very stale for both games after a while. I wish they had more combos like maybe a system where there’s different attacks and effects when you mix and match the light and heavy. I know you can mix the attacks but it’s still all the same moves. Origins also desperately needed more assassination animations. The combat overall lacked that distinctive AC flair. It relied more on super powers as a wow cool factor.
These were the only things holding me from having these two games as my best games ever made. Because everything else in terms of gameplay and world building is just nuts that it Carrie’s a first play through very well.
Ac orgins was my first ac game and it felt so good as well the atmosphere, odyssey was my second game and it its also very good game, i spent more hours to odyssey and it has a lot of things to do.
I am playing the games started in AC 1 and now I am in AC 4, but I am heavly looking forward to play AC Origins.
I played till 3, and then went to origins and have to say its a nice change and the graphics are very gud imo
I like things absolutely perfectly so I couldn't just play it. But I would like to. Also AC 4 ist a really fun Game and the graphik isn't that important.
@@Kiner09u should try the older ones for sure
@@koldhearted_ I am doing
@@Kiner09 I'm on black flag rn I'm enjoying the fuck out of that game
Could not have said any of this better myself! I’ve always been more partial to Odyssey myself, but it’s hard to deny the importance of Origin and its story in the overall AC timeline. Also who could be mad about sliding down the great pyramids?! 😸
It's sad that people always say ac Odyssey is bad without trying it in my opinion it's a really good game.
as someone who has 1000+ hours in it i can tell you the obvious comments on it: damage sponge fighting system which makes grinding useless, fully and i mean FULLY breaks the entire lore of assassins creed it shouldn’t even bare the name and it has copy and paste environments and cities. besides that if you actually know what you’re doing its pretty fun to fully abuse the gear system and make builds and mods and the overall lighting and look of the game is great for sure
I guess a big Problem is that the Assassins or Hidden one's doesn't even really exsist.
*_"It's sad that people always say ac Odyssey is bad"_*
Nonsense, you're just making that up.... Odyssey is actually rated higher than Origins on Steam.
@@uppin_downers
*_"it has copy and paste environments and cities"_*
That's really the dumbest AC related comment I've ever read, there is absolutely no copy paste of cities at all in both games, quite the opposite, each city has it's unique character and style, and a different focus... some are focused on education, others are focused economy, religion, masonry, fishing, wealth... you really talk absolutely nonsense. 🤣
The story and assassin feeling in origins is better. But as far as an RPG and replay value, I gotta go odyssey. I’ve put in like 170 hours so far and I’m still having a blast, and definitely plan on doing NG+ after I’m done
*_"The story and assassin feeling in origins is better."_*
Nope, it's actually the other way around.
Bayek is one of the 3 greatest AC protagonists right next to ezio and Edward. While Odyssey on paper has an equally emotional story arc Bayek’s story was done so much better and I just cared much more about him and his journey than anything with Alexios or Kassandra. The first scene in the pyramids with Bayek already sold me on his character. Like almost every other Assassins Creed protagonist he is on a quest for revenge. However during the side quests and the slow story moments his humanity shines through. he’s a very empathetic person. Also the voice acting from abubakar salim as Bayek is absolutely outstanding. The pain in his voice was noticeable and made his performance stand out a lot. In some ways Bayek reminded me of Geralt of Rivia my favorite gaming protagonist of all time. on the surface he’s an angry warrior, but there is much more than meets the eye same as with Geralt.
Comparing Origins to Odyssey is like : Quality vs Quantity
I like Odyssey because of Kassandra, her poise and voice is just perfect, in Origin I like the MC as well, but the settings and the world make sense to me, I do like the greek mythology behind Odyssey but Egpyt is just hits different.
I'm sorry but there is literally no way you take Kassandra's poise and voice over Bayek's. That is an absoulte vile and distastfeul opinion
@@lewisgreen5910 Kassandra is done right in Odyssey, which is controversial in 2024 you know a Female MC.
pretty sure I just I said I like Origin more or I stated it vaguely?
Just finishing up the other side plots of Odyssey and I noticed that Origins is on sale. I’ll probably start that next.
I never played Odyssey. Will get it when its on Sale. I just have bought Origins. I love the acient Egypt setting.
AC odyssey is one of the best games ive ever played, i played through the story about 5 times on different saves its just wonderful and never gets old, people say its not an ac game, but it literally is, it shows the start of the templars which is the cult abusing the artifact to manipulate the tides of war and order and alexios is the one who stops it, ofc they arent assassins because the order came before the assassins and to show the beginning of the order you cant have assassins at the same time if they didnt exist back then. Also the dlcs are isu focused which are also part of the assassins creed lore and are the main part of it basically.
Assassins creed odyssey is the better game for me because it has more to offer and because it IS an assassins creed game, people just dont think it is because they dont know the deeper lore of Assassins Creed and think that its all about assassins and nothing more, when since the first game the reason for the games existence is because of the artifacts of eden which come from the isu which are then abused by the order and the assassins are only there to stop them
I think both of these games are pretty evenly matched IMO, usually when people ask about the Assassin’s Creed RPG trilogy it’s usually just these 2 that are talked about while Valhalla is tossed off to the side. My personal take on these it that Origins is better for the story but Odyssey is better for the gameplay. Odyssey has a lot of content & it’s just fun to play as you feel pretty powerful late in the game. With Origins I love the setting & the story is easier to follow & told better.
I’m probably one of the only few here but I have to say odyssey it’s one of the most stunning and beautiful games I’ve ever played and I absolutely loved the story
A few months ago I would've said Origins but the replay-ability of Odyssey puts Origins to shame
"he replay-ability of Odyssey puts Origins to shame" ... Absolutely false
both games are great! loved cassandra more ❤ and the vacation feeling of greece.
copy and pasted Greece!!!
I just started Odyssey, currently in 16 hours and I want to know if there is like a Hidden One with the TRON futuristic cosmetic in Odyssey I want to grind those kind of clothing instead of buying just to make my character looks cool, I prefer the hard way thanks.
Origins is a better Assassin's Creed game, but Odyssey is a better game in general with design, combat, and exploration. I also liked the Cultest system
"Design, combat and exploration" LMAO
oddyshit is a horrible game
@@blackvalio4060 I thought so on launch too, but I've recently begun playing it again and doing so while not treating it like an Assassin's Creed game and it plays very well as a Greek Historical Fantasy game.
Yeah the first part of Origins is pretty good. But the last third or quarter falls on its face. Meanwhile, Odyssey I think stays pretty consistent throughout.
I think the main enjoyment factor comes from which did you enjoy more during history class, ancient greece or egypt.
I absolutely love both.
12:54 I'm not so sure about that statement to be honest. It's possible to make a fully fleshed out character defined by player's actions, a great example would be Commander Shepard from Mass Effect series. No matter what choices you make, he/she still feels like they are their own character, and not just the player's avatar. I'd say it's more of a problem with writing, but i guess it was Ubisoft's first attemt at player choice on such scale.
Good thing AC Valhalla fixed those issues. /s
In terms of what features I think each game has over the other:
Origins:
+Better protagonist (Hands down)
+Better setting
+Better leveling system
+Better story
+Not feeling too bloated
+Enemies don't feel like damage sponges
+Ties into the Assassin's Creed title better
+Confession scenes from the targets
+More consistent tone
+More memorable targets
Odyssey:
+More customization options
+Better modern day
+Enemies with different varieties of attacks plus can fight civilians as well
+The cultist system
+More landmarks to find in the world
+Can use naval combat whenever rather than just being restricted to certain missions
+More memorable side characters
+More skills to use
Both have great boss fights, lots of detail put into their worlds, lots of side content, and have multiple DLCs that add new worlds and expand upon their main stories.
Very good take. I'm assuming your're fav is origins?
@@lewisgreen5910 Thanks. Correct. It's 2nd or 3rd favorite in the series with AC 2 being 1st and Brotherhood being 2nd or 3rd. Odyssey isn't one of my favorites in the series though.
bro after i saw ur video now wanna play with bayek after years
Origins by a million.
Nah
ORIGINS combat sucks though,
Odyssey is better
i think they should did same thing as ac syndicate boss fight in the end
flavious and septimus vs bayek and aya
and let all 4 in land of duat after killing them
Finshed origins few weeks back and currently on odyssey playthrough. So far I liked origins better. Lets see though if odyssey grows more on me..
Love ur vids tho!✌🏼💯
I love both games, Protagonist wise i like bayek more than alexios but soundtrack oddesey and overall both are really amazing games everyone should play if they love history and rpg games
Origins is way better than Odyssey in terms of characters and storyline. It sucked that Odyssey doesn't focus much Assassin's stuff like Origins because at least it was mention in AC Brotherhood with Aya in it. Odyssey is great with Greek mythology and historical references which I respect but for the life of me, Odyssey is such lowbar for me on AC RPG games in general, thats where they lost on the story of Assassin's.
i wish i never would’ve played odyssey or valhalla cause i love origins so much, but the other two just burned me out on that style of game
As a greek my self i like both of them.Odyssey is really good game and its nice see the ancient greek world and exploring and the mythology.But i prefer origins, the ancient egypt history is really cool to see too and the story is better AND bayek is of the best protagonist in the series and it makes the game even better
If you want Greek mythology just play God Of War
You're cooking!
@@ryplay9 i have tried GOW and just cant get into it.
Gotta be Origins for me. That game is a masterpiece in so many ways
I’m playing odyssey now and I must say it’s far better than people give it credit for. I still think it’s issue is it’s gone too far back in time that it’s like a huge game of back story on where the templars came from and human isu hybrids etc. but the game mechanics build on Origins very well. Origins is the better AC game even with the mythical elements.
I've platinum both games, both games are beautiful
How is this even a competition? Yes, Origins miles better. Now, I'll wait when the add ends.
Nope, I won't say Origin is miles better. Both are great. When I played Origins, I thought it was the best, but when I played Odyssey, I completely changed my mind. Everything in Origins has been made better in Odyssey. But, I would say comparison's are the weapons of a coward. That's why both are good.
@@StealthyVJ Odyssey would be fine if it wasn't that long and big. I kept forgetting about the main quest, I kept forgetting what the main quest was. Half of the time I didn't know WHERE I was because it looked identical. Pretty, yes, but copy pasted. This could've been avoided if they cut out 20 hours of content. The game is fine. Origins is fantastic, there is a care in that game that Odyssey simply didn't get.
@@StealthyVJOrigins did an good job balancing the rpg aspect while Odisey did not and not to mention you are not playing as an assassin in Odisey but what I can't deny it has an beter map than Origins
@@ceosgamer016_5I’ll say tho you aren’t playing as an assassin in origins either.
Nope
I played both I like both but did over 200 hours on origins, probably would not do that on odyssey
it’s impossible to pick I love both not picking between these 2
I platinum both, I liked Origins more simply because it has shield and no endless of mercenary coming at you like in Odyssey, you can’t hide unless you use vanish mode. Too much of demigod, takes longer to kill enemies and endless of war you don’t know which side you’re on. Crocodiles are so much cooler in Origins than Sharks in Odyssey… it even has Egyptian crocodile God.
I liked the exploration and the water in Odyssey but overall Origins is so much better. AC vibe with stealth, simple combat to the point, mystery, this game took me to an ancient Egypt and learned Egyptian Gods while fighting Roman Empire which was so cool, while Odyssey feels like a vacation and when war in region turned blue or red, you’re like meh… Lol
In my opinion I personally prefer odyssey more as origins I didn’t like aya but loved bayek and I loved the more Greek aspect than the Egyptian aspect
I've played both and I like the assassin feel of Origins more. However, Odyssey has better game mechanics built in, between the two.
I think Odyssey is a better game but Origins is a better AC. I personally loved Odyssey but fought to finish Origins.
As someone that has thoroughly enjoyed playing both games, who loves Ancient Greece and Egypt, I have to say that Odyssey is better by a decent amount. The combat in Odyssey is more fluid and well rounded, the Cultist system is awesome, and the scenic views and landscapes are second to any game. While I think Origins and Odyssey are phenomenal games, I give odyssey the edge.
Second to none*
Bought origin finally so happy🤗
As an archaeologist, I can just not get over the size of the gladii in Origins, reminds me of inflated toy swords. Plus I do not like desert settings, so the game had to depart from my PC after receiving its fair shot and unsurprisingly not being up my alley.
Origins is better in every type of way, are you seriously going to disregard every scaled up statue, weapon, building, monument etc in Odyssey. Even in Mirage the Baghdad wall is 6x higher than it is in real life. I get your desert setting reasoning, I'm the same with snow settings but Origins is a liteal masterpiece of a game which I still continue to be fully imressed in 6 years after release.
@@lewisgreen5910 Never played Mirage, so hard to have an opinion on it. Upscaling monuments is something I don't mind too much, because while incorrect it is lending a bit more of a grandiouse air than in a setting that is by this point more in the realms of historical fantasy is not out of place. The oversized swords meanwhile are utterly impractival and carried around constantlly, so it is a constant eyesore.
i used to like origins more
now i like odyssy more because of more content in same price point
and the plot when i found out who ghost of cosmos was shock me
(not telling who it is)
It's Origins hands down, at least as far as narrative goes. Like, no comparsion. Now, let's watch the video.
Played both Odyssey and origin including their dlc. In my opinion Origin is good especially for those who are crazy ac fan but after I finished Origin, I kind missed playing Odyssey. Comparing both game dlcs, I would say Odyssey is slightly better and interesting and not to mention the combat in odyssey felt better and felt godly at endgame 😂
I love both
I played through Origins twice, I could t bring myself to finish Odyssey.
I was open to the gameplay changes in Origins, but they went too far on open world in Odyssey.
Not to mention that Odyssey is about when the writing took a nose dive.
I love both :))
Odyssey is my favorite ac game even though I just got it today
Both my favourite games but I love ac odyssey Kombat system more
Origins is the better game and Assassin's Creed story. Ptolemaic Egypt as a setting is just way more vibrant somehow than Greece, which really only has Athens and Crete as very diverse areas
there was also a side quest in assassins creed odyssey where you would retrieve items to make jewelry for a little girl and her "friends" which in reality were made of clay. You had two options and you could tell the girl to make actual friends or to keep making clay friends which would probably keep her lonely until she makes real friends on her own. In my opinion, that mission is odyssey was pretty sad to me.
Odyssey FTW. On my 3rd New game plus. Over 500 hours played on hardest difficulty level,
Assassin'S Creed Origins is more of an Assassin'S Creed with a Little Mix of RPG, While Assassin'S Creed Odyssey is a RPG with a Little Mix of Assassin'S Creed, but both are Great games. Even So Assassin'S Creed Origins is much more Detailed and I am a little Disappointed Just to Increase the Scope of the Game thy Ignored the Attention of Details AND THE BIGGEST THING, they completely gave up On Cinmatic Cutscene for most of the Chunk for future Assassin'S Creed.
Can’t give odyssey slack bc I’m of the choice bc rdr 2 also had choices and multiple endings
Them both are good
I've played origins back when it was released. I can say the story is easier to understand and less draging than odyssey. But in terms of the MC and how the worlds look i like odyssey more
How can you like a character that luterally has no fixed personality over a real character? The glaring issue of odyssey's storytelling is that there are very little consequences for your choices. You can make any choice you want at any time and in 99% of cases, your prior choices won't have any impact. You can be a prick, then start a romance. You can sleep with everyone in greece, then you have a kid with darius' child and are supposed to care about them. But you can still go back to dating the entire greek world. What did you learn about alexios / kassandra through the entire story beyond surface level? Pretty much nothing. They have family drama, they have isu powers, and that's it. For a game that's something like 30 hours long while mostly focusing on the main story, you spend way too little time with supposedly important side characters to feel anything about them. For example, you talk something like 2 times with stentor, then you meet your father once and you're supposed to be actively engaged in chosing whether to kill him
@@docomega7862thats why story creator mode is optional in game. I personally like witcher 3 and wished the game have more options like odyssey. To me the choices we had in odyssey are like the possibilities of what she could've done, so in my pov it feels more realistic bcs i have slight freedom to choose her destiny. Another reason is i lke wonder woman, she's pretty and strong and it feels right to be powerful in this game cuz kassandra is demigod. But again im not talking about the story, as i said i like origins better in that aspect
Here's my answer. (I have 150 hours in Origins and 250 hours in Odyssey)
Setting - It's a tie (Both were stunning recreations of the ancient world, and in this aspect, both games are a 10)
Gameplay - Easily Odyssey. The flexibility in the combat along with the creative and varied abilities and weapons make for a truly rewarding rpg combat experience. Origins never changes that much from start to finish, and it gets stale.
Story - Easily Odyssey. Origins is significant to the AC franchise, being the founding of the Hidden Ones, but it's still a retread revenge story which was done multiple times in the past games (AC2, Brotherhood, AC3, Unity). Odyssey was more unique, had many powerful emotional moments, and blows Origins out of the water in scope. The choices also added a lot to roleplaying.
Side Content - Easily Odyssey. The side content in origins is so bland with lackluster facial animations and presentation. I believe it had the hyppodrome, and the arena, which were both fun, but Odyssey again, blows it out of the water just with sailing the seas of Greece alone, but then there were the conquest battles, mercenary system, side quests on all of the many different islands, and more. It will take me a while to list all the side content in Odyssey here. It's a game where I didn't run out of things to do even after an entire 100 hour playthrough.
Bayek vs Kassandra - It's a tie. Both are among the best protagonists in the entire series imo, second only to Ezio to be honest. They are both very relatable characters with compelling stories.
Overall ratings.
Origins - Great story and setting, weak combat and gameplay, limited side content, great protagonist, pushed the series into a new era, already felt outdated when it was released - 7/10
Odyssey - A complete evolution of Origins in almost every way. Awe-inspiring scope, endless side activities and exploration, amazing protagonist, great story, amazing combat and gameplay, timeless - 10/10. One of the best games I ever played.
"Gameplay - EASILY Odyssey." "Story - EASILY Odyssey". One of the most blatantly bias reviews I have ever read. I wouldnt be so bothered if you werent trying to come across as neutral. The combat in Origins feels more impactful and fluid compared to Odyssey, the kill time alone in Odyssey is why the vast majority of fans prefer Origins. Tying Kassandra with Bayek is absoluetly wild. Odyssey does not blow Origins 'out the water' simply becasue it has ship combat. 'endless side activities' , I have 200+ hours on origins and I still have a ridiulous amount of side missions and missalenous activities to do. You try to sound level headed throughout your review but is clear you have an agenda. Saying Odyseey has an "Awe-inspiring scope" while disregarding origins enitely says it all.
@@lewisgreen5910 Lol. It's called an opinion. Origins felt so outdated when I played it. Every other rpg at the time that I played had deeper, more satisfying combat and quests, such as The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition.
The side quests were pathetic. "Medjay, my shEeP HaVe rUn AmocK!"
"Worry not sheEp HeRdeR. I, Bayek of SiWa, will retrieve your shEep."
That is the depth of every sidequest in Origins. Comparing that with Odyssey is night and day. Quests in Odyssey have different outcomes based on your choices.
The combat in Odyssey is far more flexible and for me, it's 1000 times more fun. The abilities add so much to Odyssey, whereas with Origins, I barely bothered to use them because they aren't cool or fun to use. Maybe satisfying for the first few hours but not after that.
Just because I like Odyssey more it does not mean I am biased. It's called liking it more than the other one. I gave my reasons why.
It's not like I don't like Origins. I beat the game twice and I have over 150 hours in it. I hate most of the characters in Origins apart from Bayek. I don't even remember most of them. Cleopatra was so forgettable. The ending mission with Aya (Who I didn't like) was so forced and barely added anything to the game. Origins is a good game, but Odyssey is undoubtedly an evolution of Origins in every way.
Not to mention, Origins runs like absolute ass on PC, and I don't know why no one talks more about this. Odyssey runs better and it came out after. Origins is an unoptimized mess.
Origins has grand scope. Don't get me wrong. But the features and gameplay mechanics don't live up to the world they created. Odyssey feels so much more alive. You could be walking around on an island and see ships from different factions fighting on the seas. The war progresses even if you don't take part, and you can do conquest battles for hours, taking over all of Greece for either Athens or Sparta. You can climb the mercenary ladder, explore underwater caves and tombs for treasure, hunt down cultists, fight mythical creatures, battle in the arena, collect legendary armor pieces, and the list goes on and on. Odyssey is a real RPG. In Origins, armour doesn't mean shit. It's all cosmetic. Even the Ezio games had different stats for upgrading your armor.
I love Assassin's Creed. I was hyped af when both games were coming out, and I love Odyssey far more than Origins. It's an Opinion. Valhalla as well sucks so much compared to Odyssey and even Origins. Odyssey is by far my favorite game in the series all things considered, and I started with Brotherhood. I always wanted the series to explore more the ISU aspects of the story instead of the repetitive templar vs assassins revenge story we got in every game before (Which I still like) How could a series hint at such a magnificent civilization that came before in every game, and never explore it beyond the surface level? Odyssey is that game. My dream Assassin's Creed game that I always wanted because it focused more on the ones who came before.
We can agree to disagree, but I don't have some sort of agenda. I was simply stating my opinion on the two games.
I completed Origins and most of Odyssey. there isn't much I'd put Origins over Odyssey on. none.
@@spiritlance364have fun fighting those bullet sponges enemies lil bro😂😂
As as storyline game and character development? Orgins all the way.
As an open world and side activities ? Odyssey
Origins has just about everything you'd want. Great story, epic setting, good gameplay, awesome characters. Only real downfalls are the villains and parkor.
Odyssey has a great setting and missions. Story and characters are a bit underwhelming tho at times
I’d go with odyessy tbf personal choice though
Origins wins for me. I enjoy Egypt more, Bayek is a better protagonist, and the game doesn't feel too bloated and as grindy. It's probably my second or third favorite game in the series after 2 and Brotherhood.
World setting - Odyssey
Better story - Origins
Protagonist - Bayek
Side quests - Odyssey
* To me, both are great world settings, but Odyssey stands up for me with the DLCs.
*Overall story is far better in Origins, and I mostly enjoyed Odyssey's story and mainly its's DLCs.
*I mostly played with Kassandra 300+ hours, great protagonist, brilliant voice acting, but Bayek has the better character development, emotions, and of course, creation of hidden ones.
*When it comes to side quests, I go with Odyssey because I loved those side quests, and i completed them all. Philosphy with Socrates, Alkebiades quests, naval combats, Mythological quests including Minatour, Medusa, Cyclops, Daughters of artemis and etc. Even Barnabas had a great story with side quests
Overall, my winner is AC Origins, and I love it, but as a student who studies greek and roman history, Odyssey helps me a lot. I'm still playing Odyssey with discovery tour.
You give world setting to Odyssey despite most villages, towns and parts of the cities being copy and pasted? A student who studies greek and roman history but you disregard the vastly diverse Greek , Roman AND Egyptian archetrcture in origins? I dont get it.
@lewisgreen5910 I know I know. It's my opinion. I love Odyssey's mountains, rivers, and cultural features more than origins. I spend too much time with Greece. That's why I'm biased to Odyssey. You're right, I don't have any disagreements. It's my opinion. That's why I didn't wrote about it too much
Whilst Odyssey portrayed my favourite period in history, somewhat, it just felt like an Origins DLC, which is how it started out originally.
I dug BOTH games (idk why it's sacrilegious to say that among the Fandom).. "Origins" is just better in pacing, story and size.
How about ranking Animuses' "whiterooms"(memory rooms,loading screens, you know what I mean)
I love the sound effect for the Origins one when you exit / enter it
I love oddessy so much
You should rate the open worlds
That's my next video 😉
I dont know what it was, I finished Origins, came home from University had no issue sitting for hours to play it.
Tried the same with Odyssey, found that all the extra rpg systems got in the way of the Assassins Creed part of the game. Just couldnt finish it
It didnt feel like it should've been called an AC game, same with Valhalla
i was a pure ac hater cuz i tried it after playing ghost of tsushima its been 2-3 months since i last tried origins after trying it again i gotta say its such an awsome game it feels like am playing a totally different game 🫤 my message to fellow gamer who are new to the gaming scene please dont play ghost of tsushima or other 100's of great games will feel like crap cant wait finish origins and hop into odysses and valhala
Aya and Cassandra are related
Protagonist: Origins
Open world: Odyssey
Side characters: Odyssey(Stentor still sucks, he dosent count)
Sound track: Origins
Modern day: Odyssey
Story: Origins
Dlc: Origins
Origins for me. But curse of the pharaohs was mid.
How is curse of the pharaohs mid? It's literally breathtaking and its worth more than what you pay for it.
I like odyssey a lot. Origins was amazing too
I would also say that the main ending of AC Origins was not good. It just felt after all that epicness you've been through, it just felt meh. The DLCs made up for it but the main problem was that I never felt finished with Bayek's story. I still think he has to meet Kassandra at some point (They will keep introducing her mark my words.) and he's got a lot more to contribute. AC Origin's side quests were far more darker, and more mature. Especially with the Scarab and his son. AC Odyessy's sometimes went dark to humorous which is fine, but I can see where it goes.
I still can't believe that this game is released in 2017 and it isn't aging one bit for me, it's that good I could have sworn it released yesterday.
Without a doubt, origins all day. Favorite AC game.
Im surprised how good it is. I thought its gonna be like your average ac games. Like syndicate and unity. Which is my least favorite of ac games. I really like the combat, tho its not perfect.. But better than auto kill chain of previous ac games. There's a challenging aspect to the combat in origins.. And the story is quiet good. And people say that the map is quiet big.. And for me.. Its really not that big. I finish everything within 2 weeks.
Origins in my opinion much better than Odyssey, already the story, the setting ancient Egypt "I love Greek too, but Egypt is above", the gameplay they are perfect to marry the ancient formula with the news was excellent, the open world was very interesting, the characters, the Aya-Bayek couple and the soundtrack, in fact here it is Origins it makes Assassin's Creed and for me one of the best.
Odyssey and not bad far from it but it's too much a separate game, the game was basically planned to be a Spin-off of the lisence, in fact the only thing that bothers me with Odyssey is the name Assassin's Creed, after all no It's not a bad game, it's an excellent Greek simulation.
16:19 🤣🤣🤣
odyssey miles better, the gameplay is funnier and the secondary missions are not some boring shit. also the world is richer for things to do, and has more endings giving more choices to the player. but nostalgic people would say origins because "odyssey ain't an assassin's creed"
@@ExitStrategy1609 odyssey IS an assassin's creed, the isu and the neo-templars are what makes it an assassin's creed. just because there isn't the brotherhood it doesn't mean it's not an ac game, by this logic origins as well isn't an ac because there is no brotherhood
started playing odyssey the day you uploaded this XD. Odyssey has a deeper PERSONAL story than origins, but its got A TON of glitches in my experience. they both have beautiful maps and are excellent games.
Nope, didn't notice any glitches at all on PC, you must be playing on console, or own a crappy PC.
I think assassin's creed is what made people start thinking woke was a good idea because they were successful putting women more in the spotlight. The difference with AC and everything else is the gameplay and story didn't suffer from it, they did it right.
