3.5/5 ★ – orionids's review of Assassin's Creed: Origins.

While it's clear that this was AC's first real attempt at RPG mechanics that will be better refined in Odyssey, Bayek and Aya's relationship at the heart of this game makes for such a compelling story that it's easy to forgive. The way Origins incorporates the Ancients is one of the better attempts at the series, and I personally cannot get enough of Layla Hassan.
