For those that are curious the game is still 100% playable, downloadable, enjoyable, just because it was removed at one point in time doesn't mean it doesn't work any longer. I apologize for everyone who equally experienced issues with this not being able to launch on your PC's. I had to play my old copy on my PS3 for awhile and I then came back to this because I would prefer it to be on the computer. Most of the launching issues are actually because of these issues right here in this link below me; IF you are using a NVIDIA and you happen to be utilizing the Geforce Experience you WILL ABSOLUTELY have to turn off the Nvidia Overlay in settings prior to launching or the game will not launch at all. By all means turn it back on for whatever else you utilize it for but it will not allow you to play this game while the NVIDIA overlay is enabled.

Short & Sweet to the point;
A.) An EXCELLENT game graphically
B.) Game mechanics are still worth a damn in 2023
C.) Enjoyable story-line and lore, as well as other characters you'll come to meet in-game
D.) The game doesn't have a lengthiness to it so for those that are working a lot this is a game you can play here and there without feeling like you haven't accomplished anything because it is one of the shorter AC games in the series.
E.) Aveline De Grandpré is a badass chick for any potential female players that are tired of the standard male protagonists so therefore this is another playable option apart from being Kassandra in AC Odyssey or the Female version of Eivor in AC Valhalla.
F.) Ubisoft still Offers the rewards, challenges, and achievements for this AC game title whilst playing through steam.

Thank-You everyone and hope you enjoy the game!

This game is exceedingly challenging, much better to play with a friend. It's good, really good. The challenge makes it enjoyable, going through each of the levels and fighting for your survival because of the beasts that are trying to defeat you. The graphics on this game are exquisite and much better than it's predecessor. I would strongly recommend playing this game because of the enjoyment it can provide you. 10 / 10

Assassins Creed Unity speaks to me in different variations. After nearly a decade after release the game still has unworked bugs. I had issues being stuck into place randomly with the only escape being a game shut down and restart because enemies couldn't kill me in that place.
Apart from that, mostly, the game has been fun. I do absolutely love the graphics ands roaming the city of Paris, the side missions aren't bad either, the character customization AND parkour system is about unparalleled to other games in the series. Its invigorating to see the story line, though I would have preferred playing as Elise. Arno has the rough patches that grow admirable when deeply thinking about it at times, though not loyal to the creed itself his part on that is a tad frustrating. Its forged with a lot of content and does have a working multiplayer that I will return to explore when I'm finished with the other games. All in all I give this game a 9/10

AC Origins is a fantastic and absolutely astonishing game in the series. Ubisoft has done a real impressive job creating an mmo style game with their series that is filled with plenty of content. There's a huge map to explore, much bigger than some in the series. The details of the graphic quality is exquisite and riddled with flawless ambiance that allows the player to feel like they are in ancient Egypt. The animals and foes you face to accomplish the tasks you need to receive achievements or travel through the story are fun and challenging at times as well. I'm a veteran AC player so I naturally started on the hardest difficulty to make it better for me in particular. Loads more of content such as add ons that Ubisoft brings in such as their events to kill Anubis or Sobek. The upgrading of items is good and the hunting as well. I recommend playing this game if you love the series and even if you do not, and you like rpg's this is a good game to get involved in. I could physically see myself with around 300 or so hours in this game if I had much more time. I'll get there eventually.

Game rating 10/10

This review has two segments:
*Potential Spoilers*
Starting off I'd like to say that I wasn't a huge fan at first of being a Templar in the ASSASSINS Creed franchise but after noticing the story, paying attention to the details of how Shay Cormac was mistreated in the brotherhood and ignored as well as understanding the overall purpose of Shay's defection to becoming to a Templar after had been an assassin for all the years he was, it creates a more pleasant role to play and it's entirely comprehensible.
The Assassin guidelines to stay your blade from the innocent were broken upon searching for precurser relics and their structures that hold the Earth into surface and shape from the Esu. Not just by Shay, the code was broken by Adewale, and many others in the Assassin's Brotherhood that sought after these sites. This game shows you the life story of Shay Patrick Cormac, why he does why he does, how, and where that leads not just the Assassin's but the Templar's as well. It also creates an outstanding scene for character development and display of previous protagonists and antagonists as you glide through the colonial era witnessing many folds of time unturn with each mission you take, every step you make, being observant and gathering all this while you're playing this game and enjoying it make being a Templar in this particular game and era actually fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable.

Review:
This game features excellent mechanics, the game mechanics for combat on land and on sea whether yourself or using your ship are exceptionally great. That may be due to the game had been released post AC IV Black Flag and AC Freedom Cry so the amount of time being put into development had been even more sharpened to it's prominent development. The sounds of the game from what I've noticed are remarkable, within each blade strike, parry, gun shot or reloading, even Shay putting his hood on his head and removing it or let's skip the character and go straight to the environment. . the sea, the land, the animals, the ships and the battle has a rather succulent taste in gaming experience. The character modification in outfits isn't as good as other games later or earlier in the series but just great enough to add that spark of personal desire for appearance, as your ship as well similar to AC IV Black Flag. If you're a long time or beginning Ubisoft Club member you've also got a good amount of rewards you may claim in this game such as the previous assassin's robes from other games in the series which may increase that perception of flavor for those with nostalgia.

I have played this game for 21 hours, and a few offline, I have completed the story with 49% game accomplished. So I have not even halfway scratched the surface of content in this amount of gameplay. The DLC's I recommend purchasing as well for the Time Saver's even then you're still riddled with hours on hours of time to play. I work a lot of hours every week so finally being able to finish the story, which is my primary goal in the series before going back to the games and earning collectibles, as I am nearly a completionist, is quite exciting as I exit temporarily into the next game in the series.

I will be playing this game again once I am finished with the series. Rating: 10/10

I'd like to stand out for a moment before reviewing this product to mention that, I have two segments of this review.
For the first and foremost, I gotta say this game is exquisite in its form and in entirety you've definitely got a mother load of potential racking up hours in game whether offline or online, most of my hours for this one in particular were offline I probably have about 400+ hours in Hero Siege. It doesn't get old much ESPECIALLY when playing when friends more over than by yourself... However, there have been changes to the game as of late.
I have noticed there was information given to the players by the devs that someone maliciously hacked into their servers.. a lot of accounts were banned by this individual and that has created a lot of strain on my play with this game NOT because I don't enjoy it but because of the integrity of the security for it's community. I trust the devs and It is a lot safer now and you have much worth in taking this game up even given this information, especially if you're just starting you've got nothing to lose now that they have fixed the dilemma. Myself however, sadly, I must say that I do not have that luxury due to all of my characters have been deleted without my concent from that past endeavor and all of my progress has been lost.

They have also changed the playstyle of the game from time to time. The newer playstyle, which mind you once I have time to invest in the game again I would love to experience, is far different than what it used to be. You used to log into the server you made and go down to the bottom of the town and choose your mode and difficulty and area you wanted to go to for a play through with your characters. To my knowledge you can't do that anymore.. which is a pain but I will say that with my past experience of the game as well as the builds of their former classes and the NEW ones I have noticed they added it definitely is a game worth buying and playing and I promise you can get some enjoyment out of it if you love these type of roguelike indie games.

Filled with plenty of armor and weapons and jewels and rarities for them with statistics, plenty of skillpoint attributions a long the way to play how you want to play when you fight these monsters in the game, and the character development for late game as you can with your crystals purchase skins for your character and UI interface make this game exciting.

I rate this game 8/10

You know I used to think that ASSASSINS CREED II was the best game in the entire collection I have for this series, each game Ubisoft suprises me with more action packed adventures with stealth and parkour with historical experiences that allow users to get that feeling of the eras they attribute to each game. Having the luxury of playing Captain Edward Kenway and seeing his life through being a pirate and becoming an assassin as well as sailing the seas and plundering ships, completing contracts, and even doing the DLC's makes this game an enjoyable experience and a must have if you enjoy the series. I look forward to the games to come especially with the knowledge of AC Valhalla coming up recently. THIS GAME, however, is a keeper whether you're playing them in order or not this one stands out to be one you come back to and play over and over for the contents of the game itself. 10 / 10

This game has an excellent story. The graphics are great and the puzzles you have to solve to get the knowledge in the game (provided you don't cheat and look it up online first) are good mysteries and chalk full of hours and hours of gameplay that make playing this game as the dead detective you are worth every step of the way. The ability to jump in and out of people and gather their input is fascinating and the walking through MOST walls is useful. For those players that see the floating demonic god aweful apparitions that can kill you for the first time, god speed.

One of the best, if not the best, AC games there are in existence, This game has an extraordinary story. It has excellent graphics, much like all of the games in it's series created by Ubisoft, predominately intense weapon selection and the building your city in Monteriggioni leading up to the next game is riddled with dozens if not hundreds of hours worth of game play. I give this game a 10/10

This game is exquisite. The traveling aspect using portals to go from one segment of the world of your universe to the other and having to hunt for them over mass lengths of areas has proved to be a phenomenal challenge in some cases as well as an invigorating endeavor in others. The graphics are better than Minecraft and the aspect of skill point attribution to advance while you level your character, regardless of what class you are, proves to make each player a formidable team member or foe to the villians you have vanquished. The bosses and the opportunities to face them and some in different modes is an optimal experience that aids in an even better experience. I rate this game 10/10
