Our full review of Assassin’s Creed: Origins is yet to come, but Edwin has been exploring its world on our behalf and sends back this report.
I’ve only had time for a quick poke through the world of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, thanks to a combination of Ancient Egypt-grade download speeds, short notice and a tortuous wrangle with graphics card drivers, but I’m already enjoying myself. This is something of a surprise, as I’ve become profoundly weary of the Ubiworld in recent years and Origins is very much an Ubiworld – a Pharoah’s haul of bite-sized distractions and trinkets that may or may not add up into something genuinely compelling.
