When is the next sale?

I played almost all AC games, especially the old ones. Then i skipped Origins, but got Odyssey and Valhalla. Odyssey I love, Valhalla turns me off. So now I wanna try Origins.

1. Is it worth it?
2. QoL stuff? Is it worse than in Odyssey?
3. When is the next sale? While I can afford full price, I don't feel like paying 60euro for a game that's a few years old.

Personally, I like Origins. I bought Odyssey first and played it just over a hundred hours and stopped having fun. I took a chance on Origins and now have over 250 hours into playing the game and still go back to it. Its a good game but not a great AAA game. There is no F5 save key, so you can not save the game anywhere you want and because of that if your not careful you can find yourself forced into battles you do not want to play or fight. I had to delete a level and start over again because of this. What brings me back, is Bayek. He is a good dude who loves his wife and son. Yes he has to kill but he has values and I like that as that is missing out of so many games today. This is not my all time favorite but I see me giving it up to about 300 hours. Hope I helped.

There should be a summer sale coming here soon and they usually take more than 50 percent off Origins.

Origins is a wonderful game. I have spent 100+ hours on it. The last sale happened between 16-29th Mar. The next sale will happen probably during Steam Summer Sale in June. Add it to your wishlist and get notified when the price drops. Also check steamdb dot info for historical sales info and prices.

QoL features here are massively worse than in Odyssey.

Any examples?

I like Origins more because the Heka chests aren't as greedy as what you see in Odyssey.

Origins didn't get greedy with the outfits and weapons like Odyssey. In Origins outfits are one item and they are cosmetic. And you can get outfits by just playing the game that are unique looking and aren't just lazy shameless color palette swaps of low tier gear.

The Heka chests are purchased with the currency you use everywhere else so If one were to... *ahem* cheat... well. That's why odyssey started with the orichalcum.

I always felt that randomized loot was greedy. Too much like loot boxes and when Ubisoft decided to break outfits into multiple pieces along with the crappy pull rate and slow drip feed of orichalcum which is meant to make sure you play the game at least a little every day so it can psychologically condition you to play the game as a habit and therefore increase your chances of making a purchase and once you do make that first purchase, your more likely to keep spending. This kind of setup makes me refuse to purchase the overpriced outfits anyway.

Randomized loot draws are something that needs to stay on mobile games although I'd prefer they be banned from the industry.

Also, the poison daggers are very very VERY OP in Origins. sometimes a single poison dagger thrown will poison a guard to death and it spreads like the CCP Virus until the whole bandit camp is dead.
