Haven’t played Origins, but I’ve spent a lot of time with Odyssey which has my highest recommendation.
From a friend who’s opinion I trust, I’ve been told Origins is the less fleshed out version of Odyssey. He says that Origins started Assassin’s Creed on a new RPG focused track that really just worked for Origins and Odyssey (he claims they biffed Valhalla).
Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.
I’m actually really down with this concept.
