April 23rd I finally finished origins and holy fuck what a roller coaster that game was. The story truly was amazing in my opinion and it really showed what you would do as a parent be warned minor spoilers ahead I’m sorry.
The story of origins takes place in beautiful ancient Egypt during the times of the last pharaoh and the rise of Rome and you play as Bayek of siwa last of the medjays and his story is one of revenge and sorrow.
The game starts off with a mini boss fight and then you kill off some guy that happens to be part of an order controlling things from the shadow can you take a guess lol. Now when I first came across this I’m like sweet purpose people to kill but as you progress through the map and leave little siwa behind you realize that you are just opening the flood gates for a plethora of things to happen and it is there along the way that you find out what it is that motivates bayek to be the ruthless killer he is and that’s where honestly I 100% agree that I would be the same way and I’ll be honest I cried after what happened.
You see bayek was a father to a little boy that wanted to follow in his footsteps but things dont turn out the way they should you see during a mission you end up in a bad spot and are captured by the order of course all you were doing was standing on a mountain side showing your son the beautiful view but things quickly go dark you see they think you have the ability to open a vault that was buried in siwa after much arguing and struggling these bastards the unthinkable happens a fight breaks out and as you aim to stab a d kill the one he uses your son as a meat shield man did that hurt when I saw simply because I’m a parent and well I wasnt expecting that ladies and gents that’s what gives our great bayek his fuel and its fuel alright cause the man is more determined than ever to destroy this order.
Now this honestly had me wondering would the game be stale simply a story of revenge but it was much bigger once you reach Alexandria you get an even bigger picture as Cleopatra comes into the picture looking for help getting her throne back and that’s when bayeks wife aya comes into the picture but I’ll say this main story aside origins offers so much to do and so many small missions that also have stories and some tie into the oppression of what’s going on around you and you really can get lost in the game I spent 45 hours playing the game and that mostly consisted of going around the map and doing the basic stuff over n over to level up cause at one point you need the higher levels but I wont spoil why, and the other reason i did so much is cause I’ll never see Egypt in person and honestly the game captures so much beauty that i just wanted to ride my camel or horse and see everything and i did for the most part this game is so beautiful and I just couldn’t get that out of my head faking pictures near the pyramids or sphinx was just some of the captivating beauty that the map has to offer.
As for the main story it’s insane what you go through and honestly I for one hated aya she had no real heart she had dedicated herself to Cleopatra and her cause and didnt care about her son a d it pissed me off so much every time I had to interact or be her.
The game has a lot to do the open world aspect of assassins creed is still there and it’s beautiful as ever a compelling story and side quest that had me wanting to help everyone and theres 1 special quest that shows up as a green marker which was amazing when i saw it with my own eyes all I’m saying is this if you have origins play the whole game stick it out it’s worth it i promise if you dont have the game consider picking it up I’ve seen it super cheap on sales it has a lot to offer and so much to do thank you all for stopping by take care and have a great day.
