  Take it for what it is: 3.5/5             So I loved AC: Origins. I love a new take on a series and like it when developers take risks and do something different. I am actually enjoying the AC RPG trilogy and about to start Valhalla after this. I always encourage devs to take chances and try different things. This game I do however have mixed feelings on.             Most of my time, I enjoyed it. It is similar to Origins with the RPG mechanics. Way more grindy than Origins though, but I understand why because of their gear and abilities design. If you truly play this like an RPG it is not a bad experience. The gear and abilities can be tweaked to where you can feel like your character can be changed according to your playstyle.             The biggest gripe I do have with this, is the amount of quest that are...

                  Take it for what it is: 4/5      I played this in 2020 on Xbox, in 2021 on PS, and replaying it on PC in 2022. It is an older game and plays well across all systems I have played it on. I enjoy this game, and I love the Egyptian themes.     It is a different type of AC game, though. It is an action RPG game now instead of a regular action adventure. You level up, gain abilities, and get more potent weapons and shields. Yes, there are many checklists on the map, but I mostly played through the side-quest and the main story. I did knock out quite a few map sections, but I did not do everything in the game. The combat is simple, with dodges and blocks and parries. You unlock more as you progress throughout the game, but it does not change much.     The game is not perfect, and it is not one of the best AC games ever, but a good one.
