“What a difference a year off makes. Assassin’s Creed returned after a one-year hiatus to deliver one of the best games of the year and arguably the best in the long-running series as well. Bayek is so well-liked a character that he can now rival Ezio as series favorite and Ancient Egypt is the most stunning, historically rendered location the series has ever visited. With new improved combat, an RPG style element to your inventory and more balanced story, Assassin’s Creed Origins was one of the more enjoyable and memorable games of the year.” Josh Schwartzman, Staff Writer
