Assassin’s Creed: Origins - Skewed 'n Reviewed

Joseph at Skewed and Reviewed has posted a positive review for the latest game in the Assassin's Creed series. He liked the new game mechanics and the large open world setting but said a few kinks need to be resolved before it is truly a classic.

This is the proper score for this game. AC hasn't been good since black flag. Time to kill this series off. Same game, they just change the setting and the ethnicity of the character and call it a day. This series is Charles Barkley "turrable"

Garethvk2374d ago

This has been improved. The combat system is better as well. They will not kill off a series that sells like this does.

TheEnigma3132374d ago

Sale have been falling which is why they had a year off.

Garethvk2374d ago

The last game had some serious issues but I expect this one to do better.

Garethvk2373d ago

So far I am really enjoying it as I have been playing about a week. Joseph was able to power through as I had multiple reviews in the mix so he found a few things he did not like further on. I played it at E3 and PAX West and it is really a nice new entry as far as I am concerned. Many of the others in the series did not grab me, but this one holds my interest well.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar357d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter357d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981357d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman357d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
