Intelligent Systems has created a delivery that results in one of those changes that benefit the industry and its players: the Fire Emblem saga might not be one that was made for everyone ... but this may change with Fire Emblem: Three Houses
It is strange to talk about pacing and bloat and a slow-moving plot when the turn-based battles are built on a foundation of ‘taking your time to make the right move’. But in adding so much and painting on such a large canvas, it’s hard not to eventually feel a little lost or stuck in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
In reinventing Fire Emblem for a new console generation, Three Houses doubles down on its philosophy of player choice, but neglects to make all choices equally valid.
If you’ve had a Fire Emblem-shaped hole in your heart till now, Fire Emblem: Three Houses will leave you breathless, sleepless, and eager for more. I know I’ll be lost in this new world for months to come.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses doesn't change how it plays on the battlefield, but its greatest advancements lie in the moments between the horror of war. The bonds forged between comrades in arms, the drive to really get to know the cast who you spill blood with and the opportunity to truly learn about the finality of death all combine across a vast and sweeping fantasy epic that'll leave you breathless by the time the credits finally roll.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses can best be summed up as a carefully crafted mix of old and new that feels comfortable to pick up, though perhaps its new mechanics take a while to get accustomed to.
It’s a shame that between breaths, Three Houses fails to capitalise on what has made the series so popular up until today, and we hope the franchise lives to get stronger, smarter and prettier as it sees more Nintendo Switch releases.
As it stands, we think series veterans will be able to find enjoyment in this game, but we find it difficult to recommend it to newcomers.
I cannot stress enough how much Fire Emblem: Three Houses exemplifies the "RPG" part of the acronym "SRPG." While strategy is indubitably a large part of Fire Emblem's DNA, the vast majority of my enjoyment was found having lunch with classmates and getting to know them better, or doing errands while running around the lovely academy grounds. This is a world you can absolutely lose yourself to for months on end, but if you find menus tedious, you might be reticent to the modern relationship-heavy Fire Emblem formula that's cemented in Three Houses.
Three Houses is so vibrant that I didn't really mind the lack of difficulty. I was too invested in the characters, and looking forward to the next major plot point too much to really care. It can be bloated, messy, and unnecessarily padded with content at times, but when it comes to the core strengths of Fire Emblem - its character-driven epic fantasy, tight tactical battles and a full harem of both waifu and husbandos, Intelligent Systems have delivered something truly resonant with this one.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses slowly builds up its characters in a way where you can’t help but get invested amid the complex battles.
Fire Emblem goes back to school for the most epic, generous and dynamic outing for the series yet.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is one of the greatest chapter of the series. With a deep and elaborate gameplay, this new episode represents another extraordinary game avaliable only on Nintendo Switch.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses combines fun social elements and tense strategy combat wonderfully, making it hard to put down
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the most fascinating tactical RPG with interesting battles and story, great world and charismatic characters. If you are not indifferent to the genre of role-playing games, this project should not be missed.
Demanding lap strategy, loveable characters and great story. But you have to like the social simulation.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a game that is mechanically complex, consistently rewarding, and very hard to put down.
Gameblog - Yann Bernard - French - 9 / 10Video Review - Quote not available
In a word, grandiose.
This is a fantastic installment for returning fans or newcomers playing for the first time.
Fire Emblem continues to be a franchise on the rise, and Three Houses just took the series to another peak.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses fully realizes a new, meaningful direction for the franchise that makes it the best it has ever been.
An engaging story and superb battle system keeps you coming back hour after hour, but Three Houses suffers from a lack of variety in the RPG sections.
This boarding-school daydream is grandiose and silly, but a gorgeous look and revised combat help it sing
The academic theme suits Fire Emblem very well. Developing the potential of our charismatic students, we feel like authentic teachers, and fighting with all these characters in such epic and deep battles, after shaping them in the classroom, is a real joy.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses offers an incredible amount of choice, and a story that deserves to be viewed from more than one angle.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the perfect step forward for an almost-three-decade-old tactical RPG franchise. Incredibly huge and still incredibly fun.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is an excellent management title that catches you by the variety and depth of the gameplay. Although its main value is to allow the player to control so many factors in a simple and intuitive way, he perfects the formula with a very varied and complex narrative. In addition, it is one of the greatest exponents of turn-based combat games, since its battles have a learning curve suitable for engaging us for long hours. On the other hand, aesthetically has little to be ashamed of, since the really important sections are solved in a brilliant way like the CGI or the character design. Undoubtedly, a video game that requires dedication, but in return gives great doses of joy that result in many hours of deep management and exciting fighting.
[Warning: This review contains spoilers]
The gameplay in Three Houses feeds into the story elegantly.
A disappointingly clumsy attempt to evolve the Fire Emblem formula, that takes little advantage of being on the Switch, but the anime melodrama and fun combat still entertains.
I have never beaten a sixty-hour game and immediately wanted to jump back in for round two. Fire Emblem: Three Houses pulls you in with its rock-solid grid-based combat. But it keeps you invested by offering rich characters, deep squad customization, and an enthralling story that keeps you guessing. It’s is easily the best RPG of 2019—so far.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is unrivaled in its scope and execution on Nintendo Switch to resoundingly deliver strategic perfection, whether at home or on the move.
There was a lot riding on it, but we can confidently say that Fire Emblem: Three Houses has managed to live up to the hype and will stand as a highlight in the series for years to come.
Combining the crapshoot of your ending with a few technical problems drags the whole game down. The actual character arcs, complete with fully voiced interactions, do a great job of accounting for the limitations, thankfully. Three Houses is certainly worth seeing through, but it is way more about the journey than the end.
The lack of map diversity doesn't take away from the visual splendor of the game, though. While much of Three Houses is seen from an overhead perspective, initiating combat zooms the camera in, showing off gorgeously animated soldiers in combat. During a particularly tense battle, Claude, the house leader of the Golden Deer, tosses an arrow into the sky before catching it and firing off a critical hit to take out a pesky enemy pegasus moving in on my healer. These flashy moments happen all the time and are unique to the two dozen classes in the game, so there's always some new animation to get pumped over.
Intelligent Systems tactical role-playing game looks and plays swell on Switch, but it also lowers the stakes of this stressful series
Fire Emblem: Three Houses features some of the most refined and enjoyable battle mechanics the series has seen since its successful renaissance with Awakening. But the renewed focus on support relationships gets in the way of what some may have valued most from the franchise – the strength of its strategic design and the battles themselves. Regardless, it's hard to argue that Three Houses is the best Fire Emblem since Awakening, so it's still worth your time, even if you'll have to spend it wisely.
A very ambitious game with thorough lore and interesting characters, although it won't often challenge you if you are familiar with strategy RPGs.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is an inspired innovation of a time-tested franchise, providing the same tactics fans love in a much more inviting package.
All in all, Fire Emblem: Three Houses does a great job of bringing the series to the Nintendo Switch.
The most ambitious and cared-for episode of the franchise to date
The series found a comfortable stride in the handheld world, and moving away from that isn’t always a strong step – so it’s a good thing that the Switch is a little bit of both worlds. The game is great for playing in short bursts, with even ten to fifteen minutes feeling like enough to really get something done, even if it’s just returning a bunch of lost items to your units in the monastery to boost your support links. The characters are endearing and help draw you into the world and its story, complete with divine mysteries to carry you through the school year.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses succeeds in bringing a breath of fresh air into a saga that is perhaps too anchored to its own style, it does so by renewing the experience without losing sight of the deep strategic soul that has always been the trademark of Intelligent Systems' works. The pace of the game may seem a bit diluted to the most fundamentalist fans, but the overall result is, in our opinion, absolutely convincing and worthy.
With the Switch's delightful dual abilities, Three Houses fittingly bookends the series' triumphant run on the 3DS and becomes the first big-screen outing in over a decade. It also surpasses them all. A masterpiece of strategy, story-telling and intertwining relationships, Three Houses deserves to make Intelligent Systems a household name.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a triumphant RPG experience and one of the greatest games you can play on Nintendo Switch right now. It takes the series' formula and propels it forward with some fascinating new changes, and every single system works in tandem to create something rather stunning. Technical blemishes aside, Intelligent Systems has really outdone itself here.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is, quite possibly, the most ambitious JRPG you’ll play this year. And perhaps the most impressive part about the whole game is that it actually manages to deliver on that ambition.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses soars on to Switch with a fully-realized school setting, deep character customization, and multiple full-length campaigns. While it loses momentum in the second half, it still manages to come off as a striking reinvention of the well-worn Fire Emblem formula. That makes its first real console appearance in more than a decade a triumph.
Whatever path you choose, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is an absolute blast. It’s the best Fire Emblem title since Awakening, and it goes straight onto my list of must-play Switch games.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses brings the tactical and emotional goods to the Nintendo Switch; despite some rough spots, this entry is a series best.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a tactical role-playing gem that manages to offer up one of the most engaging gameplay loops in recent memory, while also being buoyed by an epic narrative that boasts an endearing cast of characters
Well, let me just start with "finally, I did it!" What seemed to be an impossible task proved to actually be a lot easier than I thought. I would very much like to encourage everyone who thought about attempting the achievement to do so, and now that I went through it, I'd also like to give you a helping hand and share all the things I learned and which helped me along the way. submitted by legzander to eu4 [link] [comments] Let's start from the end Achievement pop-up Proof the tiny achievement popped up. Now, as for some tips/guide. For the first 50-ish years, there is no better guide than AlzaboHD's. I used his Vassal Swarm strategy for this run and it was very successful. His opening moves are the ones I attempted and needed only 3-4 restarts to finally get the hang of it and complete the first part successfully. This is how the map looked like in 1500: 1500 - I vassalized half the Manchurian tribes - went as further east as I could in order to discover Alaska and spawn the colonialism institution which I was lucky enough to actually get from the first try - was setting a foot in the south by already having vassalized Ternate and other minors - acquired the Renaissance institution by developing Settsu (got it to 38 dev at this point) At this point, there are a few bottlenecks which I want to talk about: - manpower: you will only have 3-4 provinces (or maybe a bit more if you decide to take more than 1 from Hosokawa in the first war). Because of this, your manpower pool will be limited! You will have to very carefully manage this because you won't be able to afford many mercenaries at this stage, however, don't be greedy and get a few regiments even if it will get you close to +0.00 ducats/mo - vassals not being useful: because most are stuck on the island of Japan, you won't get much out of them. For the first few wars, at least in my experience and tries, you'll have to carry the burden yourself in order to secure a few vassals on land - claims: if you are not paying attention, you will find yourself unable to start a war you want to fight because you do not have a claim prepared. During this time, claims are really, really hard to get, especially in the south. It is a strong necessity that you use the "Transfer Subject" splendor ability which also allows you to chain claims. Chain the claims from China all the way down to the Moluccas. This will take planning so plan ahead! (but more on this later) Your main source of income right now should be a mix of Vassal Income contribution and trade. By 1500 most of your Japanese daimyos should be loyal to you and you should be diverting trade from all of them as long as it doesn't get them above 50% Liberty DesireDon't be afraid to use your government ability to lower LD at this point but note that it will be rendered obsolete pretty soon. Let's move on 50 or so years 1550 By 1550, I had conquered most of Manchuria and was struggling to get as west as possible because Russia was just formed by former Muscovy. The point here is to create a barrier north of Uzbek with a colonist so that Russia cannot expand eastward - it's not a hard necessity but it just makes your life so much easier. I was also lucky in a sense that Ming absolutely imploded Ming by 1550 Let's talk about a few bottlenecks during this time: - Geography: at this point, your "Empire" is rather small but it ranges a few thousand kilometers. You need to fight wars in Eastern Europe (Kazan/Russia) and also in South-Western Asia (Spice Islands, Moluccas, etc.) Your strength is stretched thin, "like butter scraped over too much bread" Your Manchurian vassals are getting more and more useful but cannot yet carry a war on their own. Your southern island-y vassals help with almost nothing during wars.- claims: claims remain an issue at this point and all this was exacerbated by a mistake I made which I will talk about just a bit later on By now you might be wondering what ideas I had, so let's talk about those for a while. First of all, in the options menu, before even starting the campaign, I set the "No limits on Idea Groups" to Yes. That basically allowed me to take 2x diplomatic idea groups without an issue No idea group limitations (100% compatible with Iron Man) Now as for actual ideas, I had: - Exploration: for colonialism and blocking Russia/expanding in Americas- Influence: for the absolutely amazing liberty desire decrease, vassal income and maybe most importantly, unjustified demands reduction- Humanist: for what I thought was reducing chances of rebellions, but this is actually the biggest mistake I made this run (referenced a bit earlier) but I'll tackle it in the next section In 1600, the map looked like this: 1600 Quite a bit of land eaten compared to 1550. I was finally feeling the strength of my vassals. It is also roughly during this time that I had moved my trade capital to the Malacca trade node thus effectively doubling my trade income. I also developed Settsu to around 60 development after Printing Press arrived so I could grab that. I had many points to spare honestly. I also picked up my next idea group - ***Diplomatic.*** Wars in South-Eastern Asia were a breeze, I could chain them easily and simply vassalize all the small countries in one war, break the bigger ones in pieces with ease etc. I want to expand a bit about all the ways you can eat countries up because it differs quite a lot from "normal" contest. So here are a few things to consider when eating a country up until the age of absolutism - there, things change a bit and I'll talk about that later as well. - returning cores to vassals you already own is cheaper in war score than conquering and then giving the provinces to them. I should have done my homework on this, but I don't know exactly why it's the case. Up until I had around 80-ish absolutism, I could just return cores to vassals I already own and that cost me less than conquering them in the peace deal. Maybe someone can help out with explaining this? - you can force bigger nations to release smaller ones and vassalize those. When you do this, you get +100 relation with the released country from the start and they are more than willing to enter an alliance with you => you need to give them some petty gold, maybe RM (avoid if you have too many relations) and improve relations and voila, once you reach +190 opinion, you'll be able to vassalize them without ever going to war. Oh, and the penalty for being too far to vassalize doesn't apply if you have a vassal bordering them already. Useful stuff! Now for some bottlenecks which pop-up at around 1600: - aggressive expansion: regardless of how many vassals you have, coalitions will form. They will most likely not declare on you, but they're still annoying as they slow expansion down if you're not careful. This is why I allied Commonwealth, the largest country I could ally back then. I kept them as an ally up until ~1750. Still, even though coalitions never declared on me, they still formed! - bird mana: oh man, how this will bite you in the ass right about now. You can't make proper claims on neighbors. You leave one province at the border of your empire which you use to make claims on neighboring countries which you want to attack but that will give you what, 1-2 claims on the same country? 3 if you are lucky. Because you can now gobble up more and more land, even though you have -50% unjustified demands from influence ideas, that still will not be enough! You will quickly find yourself with -200 or -300 mana after eating up more countries in one war, and that takes a lot of time to recover from. This ties in with that mistake I said I made, and I'll explain it here.I should not have taken Humanist ideas but instead should have gone for Religious. The reasoning is simple. Humanist turned up to be almost useless because I gave away most of my land and the one I didn't give away was always near a war and my vassals would take care of any rebels. Furthermore, with Religious, I would have gotten an amazing CB - Deus Vult. With this, you can eat up all the land you want and no bird-mana will be taken from you. I was at -200 bird mana at this point and had 3 more wars planned, 1 click away each. I knew I couldn't go further so I gave up a 7/7 humanist group and took religious. This set me back a few good years, like 10-ish, but boy, was it worth it.The moment I gained that CB, I started conquering like crazy. The technique was simple. Eat land (releasing vassals, returning cores etc. etc.) but always make sure to leave 1 province of your own bordering the next target(s). I didn't even bother coring those provinces because once they had no neighbors on which I could declare on, I would give them away to a vassal. Let's move on to ~1650 1651 As I said, Deus Vult was a beast. In just 50 years I ate up most of India, central Asia and was pushing hard on the Mamluks and Arabian peninsula. It is during this time, in roughly 1617 that Absolutism makes its appearence. I took another idea group and that was Administrative - I took it for a later synergy with another idea group and for mercenary bonuses. Let's talk a bit about that in our bottleneck section. Bottlenecks in ~1650: - absolutism: I think it comes as no surprise that with just 29 provinces (that's how many I had at this time, out of which maybe 20 were full cores?) and 290 total development, conventional methods of farming absolutism fall apart. I couldn't properly spawn particularist rebels nor would it have been that much useful even if I did. I could end up lowering the autonomy in just a few provinces. Sure, lowering the autonomy in Settsu which had 60 development by now gave me around 6 absolutism, but that's still far away from what I wanted to get to which was, of course, 100. Luckily, I was in no shortage of military power as I never invested in generals (always took conscripted them from my daimyos) and so, I slowly but steadily gained absolutism by using harsh treatment on everything I could lay my finger on. I initially planned on firing the court and country disaster, but found myself not needing it. Maybe you will disagree on this, but honestly, I just didn't feel the need to deal with that so I reached 100 absolutism by roughly 1650, which isn't great, but it's not that bad either. As a first splendor ability I went for +1 yearly absolutism. - manpower: this is the point at which I started having constant 0 manpower and from roughly now until the end of the game, I completely relied on mercenaries. I was swimming in gold from both trade and vassal income so I could afford it. - big, blobby countries: this is roughly when you will be fighting your first big wars. I was lucky enough not to have to fight Ming but the Timurids were rather scary and then the Ottomans were waiting in the line as well. Don't be afraid! It looks more frightening than it is. Your vassals will destroy them pretty fast but will still require your help in doing so. The biggest disadvantage of using the new CB is that it relies on battles being won as a war goal. Careful how you manage those battles, make sure to help your vassals as they're many times dimwitted when it comes to pursuing this war goal and will often times lose needless battles. Don't be a prick to them either, if you can and are swimming in gold, pay up their debts, send them some money! Going on, 1700! 1701 Now by this time, I was feeling comfortable. I gobbled up most of Asia, set a proper foot in Mexico and won my first 2 wars with the Ottomans. Oh, my ally, Commonwealth was actually pretty handy in this as I had many favors with him up until now and could call him in wars against the Ottomans who were actually pretty hard to beat. They had quantity and offensive and boy were my vassals stupid sometimes. I also ate up Scandinavia quite easily as they had no real allies but this drew a bit of attention towards me from Europe (AE) where I was finally being noticed. By 1700 I had already finished my next and maybe the most important idea group left - Offensive. Here are the policies which I got after this: Policies I simply cannot stress enough how important the first one is. When I got that, I doubled my monthly income instantly. It was crazy. By completing offensive I was able to hire and field more mercenaries, siege things down faster and afford any luxury I wanted. The synergies offered by Administrative and Offensive ideas coupled up with all the other more "mandatory" groups are wild and make your life that much easier. Bottlenecks during this period: - truces: I was mostly left with a heavily colonized/chartered Africa and Europe. HRE was still a thing and, unfortunately, Commonwealth was part of it, even becoming Emperor a few times. Look at this monster Monster HRE - Europe in general is a big bottleneck if HRE is still around at this point because of all the AE. Again, no one will have the guts to declare on you, but it slows you down as most OPMs/small nations and also large ones join lengthy coalitions which take years to break down. Oh, it didn't help that I ate the whole of Italy in just 1 war a bit later on... Going further! 1750: 1751 I conquered most of Europe in 50 years. With 100 absolutism I ate Italy in 1 war, France in 2 and fully annexed it and released it so I can get all the colonies without having to eat them up as well. If you didn't already deal with colonials by now, this is the way to go in my opinion, but it's the most annoying thing ever. More on this, in the bottlenecks section. My next (and last) idea group was quality. I needed bulky troops and bulky ships because I was about to fight colonizers who had both. Slowly strengthened my fleet as well just so I can have at least 70 havies (GB had around 180 by now) Bottlenecks by 1751: - sailors: how can I say this... you have 42 provinces out of which maybe 30 are cored. You can't possibly expect them to generate enough sailors for a proper navy. Some of you might hit this problem earlier, but I dealt with it with some degree of ease up until now because I always made sure I had a bigger navy then my enemies and with the Navy policy thingy "+33% chance to capture enemy ship", I got ships for free basically, without paying in sailors/ducats. But now, you're about to be fighting the big boyz of the navy - the colonizers. - colonizers: by now, if you didn't already take care of most of the New World (and I didn't...) then Portugal, Spain, France and Great Britain are omnipresent there. I have to admit, I slacked a lot when it came to the new world, and this ended up biting me in the ass later on. Look how the Americas looked in 1701 1751 - Americas Portugal was an absolute beast. By now kinda have to be fighting them and they proved to be the worst thing to deal with during my run. My tactic was to eat their non-colony land and fully annex them that way => I would be getting their colonies once that happens, then quickly release them as vassals. I hit a few problems with this: - it takes around 3 wars to fully annex a colonizer like Portugal or Spain in my case. France took just two, but it was smaller than both of them. - let's say you eat up 1/3 of Portugal. Easy for the first war (make sure to get the "Ignore coring range" splendor ability and eat all provinces with forts on first!) but then in subsequent wars, you'll have to fight within colonies as well because there's less land to capture in their home provinces. In my case, I was fighting huge colonies with a lot of ships and a lot of troops. Wars dragged for 4-6 years sometimes just because I didn't properly prepare to fight the colonies, I always thought I could easily just land 60k troops from the mainland and destroy them, but colonies are not primitives! They have strong troops and a shit-ton of them, too! In retrospect, I would have planted more stacks in the Americas just so I can properly take care of them and not drag wars for so long. This slowed me down by at least 15 to 20 years. - once you capture land from colonizers in the first 1 or 2 wars and are pushing for the third, you will most likely not 1) want to or 2) be able to core all that land. It doesn't affect you all that much, you give away most of it but some, either forts which are deep within their country with no connection to your vassals or some God forsaken islands in the middle of nowhere, you cannot. I will talk about those God forsaken islands because they cost me a few years as well. During my final war with Portugal and Spain, because I had eaten those islands from them in the first wars, rebels popped up on them. Portuguese or Spanish separatists. You don't even bother with them honestly, they have nowhere to go, they can't enforce their demands because they conquered too little land, you have other priorities, BUT, when you finally finish that last war and oh Gosh, you ate up every. single. province with exactly 100% war score and you got all the colonies yourself and you are at 300% over-extension but f*ck it because you can simply release the nation as a vassal, that is whe you realize that... you can't. Because one freaking island in the middle of nowhere with 3 development is occupied by 10k separatists who have nothing better to do in life than screw with your. You can't release a vassal if any of their provinces is occupied. And for this you have to send a transport with at least 20k troops which take at least 1 year to get there. You are at 300% OE for 1-2 years because of this and trust me, it's just a drag... - Great Britain: Yeah, this one deserves a mention of its own. Luckily, it was rather tiny when it came to colonial land because for whatever reason, Portugal was the absolute unit when it came to colonies, but landing foot on the island of Great Britain was an achievement in itself. With almost 200 heavies, my vassals didn't even dare come close with their ships. Heck, Denmark had around 40 but never left the port in fear. With dumb luck and prayers I was finally able to put 60k troops on there hammer all their piss troops and grab some land for the next war, but damn! By this time, Commonwealth finally decided that I'm not what I look like and that province count wasn't a good enough metric to calculated "threat to world conquest" by, so they dropped their alliance with me. Unfortunately, they couldn't get any other (proper) alliances by now and were subsequently gobbled up by "my crew". In 1795, I was done: 1795 - done It took me around 2 weeks to finish this run. I don't know how many hours I played, but I mostly played on speed 4. In retrospect, if I were to do it again, based on everything I learned, I think I could do it by 1750-ish or sooner. It's been a lot of fun though, I have to admit. It's not as much of a grind as a "normal" WC is, to be honest. It's a lot more fun. Conscripting a 5/6/6/5 general from a daimyo is just priceless and the feeling you get when it is all over is such a relief! I encourage any one of you to try it out. It's really worth it. If you have any questions or think I forgot about something, by all means, ask!Oh, and yes, I did save-scum a few times, but mostly my game crashed unexpectedly right after my 6/5/3 heir died and a 1/0/2 took its place. I think it's allergic to bullshit -.- Take good care! |

Kotaku - Kirk Hamilton | Unscored ~ Unscored | Assassin’s Creed Origins is ungainly and uneven, beautiful and frustrating, expansive and unexpectedly conservative. It won’t challenge the palate; rather, it is a prime example of video-game comfort food. It’s here to be slowly enjoyed, offering a seemingly endless supply of gorgeous locales and steadily-filling progress bars. If Ubisoft is a digital travel agency, Origins provides one of the most sweeping, enveloping destinations they’ve yet offered. Come for the beautiful recreation of ancient Egypt, stay for the beautiful recreation of ancient Egypt. | |
VG247 - Brenna Hillier | Unscored ~ Unscored | Assassin’s Creed Origins is not a dramatic departure from the formula as we last saw it, but manages to be much more fun and feel way more fresh than any entry since Brotherhood and Black Flag. It plays to the strengths of a genre Ubisoft helped bring into the mainstream, respects the player and their freedom, and allows them to beat up crocodiles. I’m into it. | |
Ars Technica - Daniel Starkey | Unscored ~ Unscored | A shining example of what exploration-based games can be, dropping many of its franchise's worst traits even while being sometimes held back by the mundane. Buy it. | PS4 |
AngryCentaurGaming - Jeremy Penter | Wait for Sale ~ Wait for Sale | This is actually a 'Wait for Sale'. Make no mistake, I loved a good deal of this game and travelling across this world is so frigging awesome-looking. Unfortunately, that's offset by a battle system that just wasn't as slick as say Zelda's, which I think it's trying to crib from, and the bugs that obviously got in the way. The game looks absolutely beautiful at times, but it does have a couple issues with pop-in and so forth. I think this is a title that, with a couple of patches, really could make me enjoy the part of the game that the game wants you to enjoy the most when it comes to change, and that is the battle. It just has some issues right now. | |
Eurogamer - Christian Donlan | Recommended ~ Recommended | Assassin's Creed returns and its vast and evocative Egypt inspires wonder - even if much in the game remains familiar. | PS4 |
GamesRadar+ - Louise Blain | 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars | As beautiful as it is deadly, Origins' Egyptian playground is finally everything you wanted the Creed to be. | |
Saudi Gamer - سندس الخباز - Arabic | 100 ~ 10 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins took an amazing new direction with a brand new story, new world, and new hero. The story is quite epic and it presents some of the most important historical events and characters in Egypt. I loved the variety of targets and how each boss has a complete different approach that changes the combat strategy and gameplay. | PS4 |
GameSpace - GameSpace | 97 ~ 9.7 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins is a breathtaking sensorial odyssey. It is the MMO I have been waiting for without the MMO part and boy would my heart skip a beat if it were massively multiplayer online. Ubisoft has won a new superfan. | PC |
SA Gamer - Garth Holden | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | Moving away from the industrial sausage machine to a bespoke creation oozing with attention to detail, history, love and satisfying combat, Ubisoft is back in the ring, ready to take on other open world contenders. | PS4 |
Oyungezer Online - Utku Çakır - Turkish | 93 ~ 9.3 / 10 | It's a magnificent restart for the Assassin's Creed franchise. Origins slowly but surely follows in the footsteps of The Witcher 3. | PS4 |
Forbes - Paul Tassi | 93 ~ 9.25 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins improves from its past few installments in almost every way, yet it never quite reaches the heights of the games it tries to emulate. | PS4 |
Hobby Consolas - Álvaro Alonso - Spanish | 92 ~ 92 / 100 | Origins can pretty much be considered one of the best entries in the series (if not the best) for introducing a myriad of changes, all for the best, and making the series advance in the same way Assassin's Creed II did back in the day. Put it into a sarcophagus next to the pharaohs, because this game is worth of the Valley of the Kings. | XB1 |
IGN Middle East - Islam Ibrahim - Arabic | 92 ~ 9.2 / 10 | Ubisoft has promised that Assassin's Creed Origins will bring the series back to its roots, but it surpassed its roots. It provided amazing RPG system and led us to a journey we would never forget in Ancient Egypt. | PS4 |
Critical Hit - Noelle Adams | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins is a pharaoh's tomb chock-full of shiny treasures for gamers, especially those fascinated with Ancient Egypt. The side quests may feel a little repetitive, but the credible, nuanced characters and diversity of the main plot make up for it. And with so much to explore and do in its jaw-dropping setting, Origins is exceptional. | PS4 |
Gameblog - Julien Hubert - French | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | If Assassin's Creed Origins is not perfect, it perfectly understood what it had to do to regain the hearts of the players and fans of the series. In addition to delivering the mysterious and fascinating ancient Egypt on a silver plate, in an absolutely gigantic open world, full of activities and secrets to discover, it succeeds in transforming its gameplay by brilliantly integrating RPG elements and completely renewing, with no less talent, its combat system. It will literally absorbs you for dozens and dozens of hours. Assassin's Creed Origins succeeds in taking care of its fans and its fundamentals, while starting its own revolution. We can only hope that the next episodes will keep this momentum. | XB1 |
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | This is the best game in the Assassin’s Creed series. That extra year of development time has really helped Ubisoft find its creative centre again, and craft something that feels both fresh and energised. I could take or leave the shifts in gameplay to make this more like the loot-grind RPG-likes that dominate blockbuster game development now, but when Ubisoft is playing so beautifully within a fascinating period of history, all I care about is how utterly engrossed I am with the storytelling. | PS4 |
IGN - Alanah Pearce | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins is a deep-dive into a truly stunning realization of ancient Egypt, with a rich series of cultures, genuine characters, and more mission variety than any other game in the series. The combat is challenging and thoughtful, and while the loot system doesn't match up to games like Destiny 2, there are enough different weapon types and enough enemy variety to keep you swapping between weapons, catered to the situation. The RPG elements encourage challenges of their own, and even despite a handful of bugs, I desperately wanted to keep playing. | PS4, XB1, PC |
Game Revolution - Paul Tamburro | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | The extra year of development time paid off and ensured that Assassin’s Creed Origins likely wouldn’t underwhelm its audience by repeating its past sins. Instead, it modernized itself by adopting a more open structure and intuitive set of controls and gameplay systems, effectively marking a new chapter in the franchise. It’s fitting that Origins showed the birth of the Assassin’s Creed while also indicating the much-needed rebirth of the Assassin’s Creed series. | XB1 |
Eurogamer Italy - Lorenzo Mancosu - Italian | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed Origins is one of the best open-world action games of this generation. The setting is quite evocative, the plot is engaging and there are also good endgame activities. The Creed is reborn. | XB1 |
Press Start - Brodie Gibbons | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | I fell out of love with Assassin's Creed a long time ago, but Origins has recaptured the magic that made the series a powerhouse all those years ago. With its humble protagonist, whose outlook on life is clouded by relateable and crushing heartbreak, and a world so detail-rich, it's hard not to be floored by everything Origins manages to be. Assassin's Creed Origins is the definitive action-adventure game of the year. It's a wild power fantasy that satisfies not only a curious thirst for knowledge but both bloodlust and wanderlust to such lengths it's almost gluttonous. | PS4 |
IGN Spain - David Soriano - Spanish | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins manages to combine familiarity with revolution. Its RPG mechanics, new combat system and equiment management make you feel a fresh enough experience. The map is huge, beautiful and detailed, supported by an outstanding artistic direction. Unfortunately, the narrative fails to captivate us to make it closer to perfection. | XB1 |
EGM - Ray Carsillo | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Assassin's Creed: Origins delivers a robust experience that mixes up the traditional Assassin's Creed formula in a way that's fresh and fun to play—but which also harkens back to the series' roots in some welcome ways, too. It marks an evolution fans might not have even known they were waiting for, delivering one of the best overall experiences we've seen yet from the series. | PS4 |
Twinfinite - Ishmael Romero | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 | What we have here is a game that is more than it seems. Origins is a fitting title because there are a lot of beginnings to witness, many of which will pique the interest of lore aficionados. | PS4 |
Cheat Code Central - Sean Engemann | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | Assassin’s Creed is one the greatest action-adventure franchises out there, though its hidden blades have been dulled of late from overexposure. After its brief sabbatical, Assassin’s Creed: Origins enters the arena glistening in the Egyptian sun with quality and quantity. Whether you’re a devout member of the Creed, someone who’s fallen off the hay wagon, or even a prospective new member of the Brotherhood, this is the time to dig your blade deep into a succulent new Assassin’s Creed. | |
We Got This Covered - Jon Hueber | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | Assassin's Creed Origins is a triumph, taking the series back to the beginning and allowing players to partake in the genesis of the war between the Templars and the Brotherhood of Assassins. | PS4 |
GameSkinny - Sergey_3847 | 90 ~ 9 / 10 stars | Assassin's Creed: Origins takes all the best elements of the action-RPG genre, and gives you a complete freedom to use them all in the gorgeous setting of the Ancient Egypt. | PC |
Gamestar - Dimitry Halley - German | 89 ~ 89 / 100 | Although Assassin's Creed: Origins doesn't overcome the Ubisoft-formula, it perfects it into an excellent open-world adventure. | PC |
Pure Playstation - Kyle Durant | 88 ~ 8.8 / 10 | Ubisoft needed to recapture the magic that made the series great in the first place, and it seems it has done so. It's just all the quintessential problems within said magic tag along for the ride. | PS4 |
GamePro - Linda Sprenger - German | 88 ~ 88 / 100 | Assassin's Creed: Origins is formulated, but because of the great story and the motivating RPG system it is the best part in a long time. | PS4 |
Areajugones - Christian López - Spanish | 87 ~ 8.7 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins performs remarkably in every aspect and shows a final and finished product, leaving behind the ghosts that had this franchise. It's a title that every fan of the series should play, because it correctly maintains the essence and implements fresh and fun elements to the series. To sum up, Assassin's Creed Origins is the renewal that the saga needed. | PS4 |
Atomix - Pamela Lima - Spanish | 87 ~ 87 / 100 | Besides some minor technical and A.I. issues, Assassin's Creed Origins merges up as an astonishing, dynamic world where Bayek begins the history of the franchise. It surely represents a great way to celebrate 10 years of Assassin's Creed and a redemption chance for Ubisoft as a developer. | PS4 |
COGconnected - Erin Soares | 86 ~ 86 / 100 | If you’ve been a fan of the series since the very beginning, let your faith in the series be restored, because Assassin’s Creed Origins is definitely the best title to come out of the popular series in a long time, if not ever. While there are still a few issues to be found within the game, the majority of problems found within the last few iterations in the Assassin’s Creed series have been replaced with nothing but beauty and adventure. Ubisoft has brought us a not only a captivating story in the perfect setting of Ancient Egypt but also a graphical masterpiece that is nothing short of breathtaking. | PS4 |
DualShockers - Noah Buttner | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed: Origins may not be as revolutionary of a release in the open-world, action adventure RPG genre as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it does provide an expansive single-player experience, filled with hours of memorable content without having to purchase anything extra. Assassin’s Creed: Origins is the most memorable entry in the series in years, answering age-old questions like “why are assassins missing their ring fingers?” and is an excellent game to start with if you’re a newcomer. While the story wasn’t consistent in quality throughout the entire game — and I didn’t know what was going on or what the stakes were at times — it culminates in a payoff that any fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise will nerd out about for a long time. | XB1 |
Game Informer - Suriel Vazquez | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Expanded progression, open-world freedom, and a fascinating backdrop make for an enticing origin story. | XB1 |
Spaziogames - Yuri Polverino - Italian | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins is a beautiful open world action-adventure game, a real reborn for the Ubisoft saga made possible by a fresh new combat and quest system. The story is passionate and the character of Aya is very cool. Perhaps the game is not perfect and had some trouble of game design, but we can surely say that is very good and a perfect way to follow for the next chapter. | |
PlayStation LifeStyle - Ahmed Mohamed | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed Origins blew my expectations away in so many areas, but there’s still something missing that made the likes of Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood so special. However, this is most definitely the best title since then, and one that I’ll be jumping back into very soon. The new combat system makes for some incredibly satisfying moments, while the design of the world is only matched by the likes of The Witcher III. Ubisoft Montreal can be proud knowing that they’ve delivered a level of AAA-production that likely won’t be seen again until Cyberpunk 2077 rolls around, but there’s just that last leap of faith that needs to be made to once again deliver a generation defining game. | PS4 |
SegmentNext - Omar Majeed | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed Origins is a step forward but not a complete overhaul of the franchise. | |
Polygon - Colin Campbell | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | In essence, Assassin’s Creed Origins is much the same game as the original Assassin’s Creed, which came out a decade ago. It’s a formula that people like to play, and it’s certainly been honed and improved over the years. Origins is, then, undoubtedly the best iteration of this formula yet. But I yearn for a fresh approach and new ideas, something that astounds the senses as much as the wondrous world this game inhabits. | XB1 |
IGN Italy - Gianluca Loggio - Italian | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | A new beginning for Assassin's Creed, with a lot of new elements. Not a perfect game, but a good open world with marvellous locations. | PS4 |
GearNuke - Khurram Imtiaz | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins manages to rejuvenate the series with a solid foundation built on a fun combat system. | PS4 |
GamingTrend - Hunter Wolfe | 85 ~ 85 / 100 | Assassin's Creed: Origins is as much a departure as it is a homecoming. Revamped combat mechanics defibrillate the series with much-needed challenge. The guided open-world design encourages and rewards exploration unlike any Assassin's Creed game before it, and takes place in one of the series’ most memorable settings. But at the end of the day, and despite some growing pains, Origins is a culmination of the best aspects of the series. And for that, some hiccups in the transition to full-fledged RPG are a fair trade. | XB1 |
Stevivor - Jay Ball | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | The best in the series, by far. | PS4 |
Player.One - Zulai Serrano | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins is a much-needed reboot for the franchise. Its massive areas to explore not only look better than ever, but will keep you entertained for for a long time. | |
Reno Gazette-Journal - Jaosn Hidalgo | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed returns with a polished take on the franchise’s mechanics as well as stunning visuals and vistas that will make you feel like a virtual tourist of Ancient Egypt. The gameplay itself doesn’t stray much from the classic formula, which can be good or bad depending on your view of the series’ gameplay. Improved combat, however, combined with a nicely crafted world and an intriguing protagonist make Assassin’s Creed Origins a worthy entry in the long-standing franchise. | XB1 |
PC Gamer - Christopher Livingston | 84 ~ 84 / 100 | A brilliant setting, new systems, and familiar features blend together for a strong prequel to the Assassin's Creed series. | PC |
TheSixthAxis - Gareth Chadwick | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | After taking a year off, Assassin's Creed is going through a transitional period and taking players back to the very founding of the Brotherhood in Ancient Egypt is symbolic of that. The vast new setting, the improved combat system and moving the series towards being a real action RPG have injected this series with a new life. | PS4 |
Gaming Nexus - Randy Kalista | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Origins was worth taking the year off. Egypt will be hard to top as a location. The series' dry, ironic, corporate sense of humor is still dull. But nobody can beat Assassin's Creed's architectural history lessons, even if you're still just stabbing folks and jumping out the window while you're sightseeing the entire timeline. | PS4 |
GamingBolt - Pramath | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Almost at the cusp of true greatness, but not quite there, Assassin's Creed Origins is nonetheless a rousing adventure that truly manages to reverse the franchise's momentum after the double whammy of Unity and Syndicate. | PS4 |
Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck | 80 ~ 4 / 5 | The extra year of development has helped Assassin's Creed as a whole, as Origins is the next level for the series. | XB1 |
Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Assassin's Creed: Origins manages to be both experimental and safe. It tries a lot of new things, but it never ventures too far from the Assassin's Creed formula. There's a lot of potential in Origins, and it'll be exciting to see how the new features evolve in future games. Fans of Assassin's Creed should find a lot to like, and it may be time to revisit the battle between the Assassins and the Templars. | PS4 |
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | All in all, there's more than enough to give Assassin's Creed Origins a go. Revamped combat, a fantastic representation of ancient Egypt, and a world crammed with things to do, Assassin's Creed Origins is a return to form of the franchise that has us optimistic on what to expect next. | PS4 |
TrustedReviews - Jordan King | 80 ~ 4 / 5 stars | Assassin’s Creed Origins is the revitalisation I was desperately hoping for. My cautious optimism has been rewarded by an excellent open-world adventure that could lead to an exciting future for Ubisoft’s blockbuster franchise. While it lifts its finer ideas from other open-world titles, it executes them well enough to form a whole that entertained me for hours and hours. It’s a shame the narrative eventually jumps the shark, or this could have been something truly special. | |
Destructoid - Chris Carter | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | I was really torn in assessing Assassin's Creed Origins, as it hits several of the same lows as the rest of the series, with its sometimes uneven mission structure and janky physics. But given that they now have the formula down to a science and didn't rush it out the door, all of that is a little easier to deal with than its predecessors. It was a big risk trying so many new things at once, but it worked, and the setting carries it. | PS4 |
Shacknews - Chris Jarrard | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | ACO has almost everything going against it, and somehow managed to win me over. Just moving along in the game world is rewarding on its own. | PC |
Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz | 80 ~ 4 / 5 stars | Not completely back to the drawing board, Ubisoft takes some of their better old ideas and blends them with new ones to make one of the best Assassin's Creed games to date in Assassin's Creed Origins. | XB1 |
Leadergamer - Alper Dalan - Turkish | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | That's how you surpass your roots. | PC |
VideoGamer - Alice Bell | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Assassin's Creed Origins has vastly improved combat and an astoundingly beautiful world to explore, but it felt a little afraid of going all in with its new direction. | PS4 |
TrueGaming - خالد العيسى - Arabic | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | Assassin's Creed: Origins is a good gaming experience with a lot of content but the story failed to impress, and while the game changed a lot of thing, it didn't bring anything new for the open world genre. | PS4 |
GameZone - Daniel R. Miller | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed: Origins is truly unique compared to its predecessors, though as an Action RPG, it replicates many of the same mechanics you will find in its contemporaries. Regardless, it is a lovingly crafted world worth exploring. | PS4 |
CGMagazine - Cole Watson | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | Assassin’s Creed Origins brings Ancient Egypt back to life with the best sandbox world Ubisoft has made to date. However, a half-baked combat system and poor RPG mechanics sour parts of the experience. | PS4 |
GamesBeat - Stephanie Chan | 75 ~ 75 / 100 | Assassin’s Creed: Origins offers a rich world and a compelling story at first, but it’s waylaid in part by the repetitive side quests and a weaker second half. If you’re hoping to learn more about the Animus and Abstergo, then you’ll be disappointed because you’ll spend most of the game in ancient Egypt. But if you just wanted to show up and kill some dudes while touring the pyramids and gawking at the splendor of Alexandria at the height of its glory, then you’ll come away satisfied. | PC |
New Game Network - Alex Varankou | 73 ~ 73 / 100 | Assassin's Creed Origins does enough things differently to warrant a look, but there is still something left to be desired. It's a lengthy game in a huge and varied open world that provides a foundation for what's to come, but it doesn't quite offer the breakthrough that the series was probably looking for. | XB1 |
Easy Allies - Michael Huber | 70 ~ 3.5 / 5 stars | Assassin’s Creed Origins isn’t the reinvention of the prolific franchise that many had hoped for. Instead, it refines the formula put in place a decade ago while telling an important story about the Assassins. Ancient Egypt is a compelling playground to explore, and the RPG elements make it easy to stay engaged. If you love the franchise, Origins is an easy recommendation. Just don’t except much change. Written | XB1 |
GameSpot - Alessandro Fillari | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | In charting out a new storyline and the largest setting for the series yet, Assassin's Creed Origins makes a few stumbles along the way. | PS4, XB1, PC |
Paste Magazine - Garrett Martin | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | Like real life, this game will overwhelm you. The key is to find your own way through it as best as you can, whether it's beelining straight to the next key milestone or taking the time to wander and discover both your neighbors and yourself. It's a familiar adventure, but not a forgettable one. | |
Slant Magazine - Justin Clark | 70 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | Assassin’s Creed has been reinvented, and while Origins doesn’t necessarily push the envelope, it does set a strong stage upon which future titles are better equipped to do so than its predecessors ever were. | PS4 |
M3 - Viktor Eriksson - Swedish | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | With Origins Assassin's Creed is better looking and bigger than ever, but the series still has a long way to go in things like story telling and mission design. | PS4 |
PC World - Hayden Dingman | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | There’s a wondrous world to discover (or at least a wonderful Egypt), an enormous sandbox with plenty of forward-thinking systems to build upon. Now Ubisoft just needs to find a protagonist to make the next journey worth it. | PC |
RPG Site - Kazuma Hashimoto | 60 ~ 6 / 10 | Embracing a more RPG approach, Origins's engrossing open world experience is marred by persistent glitches and a narrative that suffers from poor pacing. | PS4 |
Digital Trends - Mike Epstein | 60 ~ 3 / 5 stars | Assassin’s Creed Origins is what happens when you make a game without a vision for how players are supposed to engage with it. So many of the changes made to the game feel as if they were made in a vacuum, without a question as to whether they make sense together in the context of a long-running series. Not all games need loot. Not all games need RPG mechanics. As this franchise turns the corner into a new chapter of its never-ending tale, its developers would be wise to keep in mind (and pay a certain reverence) to what made the series special in the first place. While Origins keeps alive its narrative, the series’ most important component, there are certain mechanical elements of the series that deserve the same unequivocal respect. | |
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral | 60 ~ 6 / 10 | A missed opportunity to reinvent the Assassin’s Creed franchise, which offers only incremental improvement and too many old problems. | PS4 |

Destiny Dev Team: As longtime Destiny players know, Trials of Osiris was released in May of 2015 as the original high-stakes weekend PvP event. Trials had an amazing impact on our game and our community. It was a pinnacle venue for players to show off their best skills, strategies, and gear. The 3v3 elimination mode combined with the card system created the coveted reward of earning a trip to the Lighthouse.
With the introduction of Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2, we made a few changes to the formula which never really hit the same mark. We were unhappy with its role in the ecosystem. The new activity wasn’t achieving the goal of bringing the community together every weekend. Both Destiny and the online PvP scene have evolved since 2015, so we don’t believe that bringing back the 2015 version of Trials of Osiris would accomplish what our goals are today.
Until we have a solid prototype for a pinnacle PvP endgame activity, Trials is staying on hiatus indefinitely and will not return over the course of the next few seasons. When we have those new plans ready, we’ll be sure to share them with you.
Iron BannerMake sure you turn in all of your completed bounties before the end of the season. When the Season of the Drifter begins, they will be removed from your inventory. Your Iron Banner tokens will persist into the next season. Good luck out there, Guardians!
