Stevivor’s Action-Adventure GOTY 2017: Assassin’s Creed Origins

Stevivor’s Game of the Year (GOTY) 2017 continues today with the Best Action and/or Adventure title.

In a hotly contested category, with dozens of games suggested, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins has come out on top.

After taking a break and relieving franchise fatigue, Assassin’s Creed came back with a vengeance, surprising all with its new mix of parkour and RPG elements. Reviewer Jay Ball awarded the title a well-deserved 8.5/10 in his review.

Honourable mentions in this category go to Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4), Nier Automata (PC, PS4) and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PC, Xbox One, PS4).

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
