I had to nominated this game for "The Even Better Than I Expected"
back then when this game announced at E3, i admit i had 0 interest.
But what pique my interest? The Guy (Director), Ashraf Ismail / Jean Guesdon, both originally worked on AC Black Flag working on this game...

for me why not?
Guy claimed it has Witchery 3 Feels....... YES
Assassin's Instagram..... YES
Microtransaction.... YIKESS (but you can ignore it 100% as it use for skipping RPG level grinding)
Simplify Parkour..... YES (no more backjumping eject while climbing)
Optimization..... Erghh UbiKiev (Alexandria Micro stutter and demanding PC, GTX1070 and above for YEZZ)
Story.... (Still Progressing.... personally greater than both Unity/Syndicate combine (for now))
Gameplay mechanics.... Amazing (although it has bugs, hope they can patch it later on)
Combats.... For Honor Style (DEEEUUUSSS VULLLTTT) (take sometime to get used to, but it's good in their on way)
Egypt.... Woahhh (Beautiful + Amazing landscape, makes me want to upload to my instagram)
PhotoMode... NICEEE (Focus mode enhance your photo quality just like DSLR cam effect)
Camel... Anta want bebsi ya Akhi???

Conclusion: AC Origins borrowing a lot of The Withcer 3 Mechanics, especially on RPG parts, crafting, but plus with leap of faith, hidden blade, and of course, its Creed. slow start but after 5 hours in-game turned out to be amazing as it is.
