So how is this compared to origins? I really enjoyed origins from the combat and gameplay to the story.

Starts really strong, then goes to shit.
this is origins except much better in every way. Better story/character/combat/world. What's bad is that side-quests are very boring and you have to do a lot of them at certain points in the game
Origins was trash that ruined the series and gameplay and this is more of the same.
Just finished the main story today and started the first expansion.
It's very close to Origins overall. Hard to say if it's slightly better or slightly worse, because it depends if you like the changes or not. For example, blocking is gone - just parrying.
But most of the sidequests are great, way better than Origins'. They tie into the main story a lot.
The combat in Origins is fucking bizarre after playing Odyssey. The camera is so far zoomed in.
Fun and a lot more upbeat than origins. Also fun to play fashion compared to the boring outfits from Origins. AC fans get buttblasted how it's all mythical and shit but I think it made Odyssey more fun.
Presentation and world design is way worse, as is the writing. Animations are dreadful and the dialogue is terrible in many instances, though some side content is entertaining. Adds more RPG elements, however, and thus more depths to the systems even if the grind and mechanics themselves make the game a chore to play.
Also play Alexios, the dumb dialogue is carried by the male VA's performance.
