Assassin's Creed Origins Xbox One review: This is how you revive a franchise

Assassin's Creed Origins offers a relentless level of depth in its world and surrounding systems, marking a bold return for the series.

As of November 2017 the Assassin's Creed franchise celebrates its tenth anniversary, and in that time, the series has come a long way. Spanning the Third Crusade, Renaissance, Golden Age of Piracy and most recently Victorian London, the Assassin's Creed is a franchise that explores history like no other. Few games have managed to deliver a blend of history and storytelling – all while remaining appealing in an industry with action-packed gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Origins is the latest entry in the series serving as a major shake-up for the franchise, while also turning point in many ways. With two years having passed since the release of Assassin's Creed Syndicate, following a period where the series' traction declined to an all-time low, Origins is a bold return to the franchise with a reworked approach. The hiatus has not only meant a longer development cycle – core mechanics had to be reworked, without compromising on the scale and depth of the experience. Shifting away from the increasing stagnating almost-yearly format, Origins strives to attempt so much more than its predecessors while succeeding in almost every way.
