More about Assassin's Creed® Origins

Steam's global achievement data puts 28 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 6,842 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

The main story runs 30.2 hours. Doing everything runs 86, 2.8 times as long.

130,020 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say

Origins ended up being one of those games I enjoyed more and more the longer I played it and a huge part of that was Bayek who I think is one of the best characters in the series. Exploring Egypt never really got old for me because there was always something that made me want to keep going just to see what I would find next. I had a lot of fun with the combat too and the story kept me interested all the way through...

The story is just barely there, you get boring cutscenes that explain very little and then off you go by yourself to kill some guy that's practically like any other enemy NPC. There's no buildup.
