Of all the games I have in my virtual library, Assassin&#8217;s Creed Origins (ACO) is one of the ones I was most excited to play. To give you a little more context, I&#8217;m a huge fan of the series. I felt extremely frustrated in 2017 when I realized my computer had become so outdated compared to the latest AAA games. ACO was unplayable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last night, my girlfriend was hosting an author livestream via our living room. Unable to meet up or talk in a multiplayer game that required team communication, I decided to take a break and play ACO. It was a lovely little evening wandering through ancient Egypt and rediscovering a series I love. All washed down with de-alcoholized wine (I&#8217;m participating in the 28-Day Challenge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I closed the game when I reached the last mission in the initial sector.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-1000x562.png 1000w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-01.png 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Siwa (starting territory)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Without wanting to accomplish or explore everything, I like to do most of the side missions and experience every facet of the game at least once. Seeing that in a few hours I had managed to finish one of the territories, I naively believed that the game would not be so demanding in terms of time. That was before the full map was raised\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02-1024x900.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02-1024x900.png 1024w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02-1000x878.png 1000w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02-300x264.png 300w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02-768x675.png 768w, https:\/\/leonin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AC-02.png 1045w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Full map of ACO, with Siwa in the red rectangle)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Instead of doing the readings I had planned for today, I decided to complete another section. Considering my busy schedule, it&#8217;s still discouraging to think that it will take another 50 to 80 hours to complete the game. I love the game so far. I still wonder if I&#8217;ll ever be able to finish it or if I&#8217;ll eventually get bored. I&#8217;ll have to schedule some playtime if I don&#8217;t want that to happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not directly a criticism of the game, but rather an observation related to my schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60708,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[205,207],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming-blog","category-video-games","category-205","category-207","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62311,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62309\/revisions\/62311"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
