With this game Assassin's Creed franchise took a different turn. They obviously knew that they were losing players, so they decided to turn to RPG aspect. (Something I personally like.) RPG elements were introduced to us long before but they were merely additions. AC Origins offers much more regarding this and I'd say it does a pretty good job. I played this game after AC Odyssey, so I'm comparing this to it. I would probably play Origins more than 100 hours if I played it earlier. After Odyssey, some issues are too great to ignore. However, I would also agree that the story of Origins is better than Odyssey. (I really enjoyed the story of Odyssey, don't get me wrong.)

Overall (TL:DR)
Pros:
Good and interesting story
Well-written characters, especially Bayek
Beautiful graphics and atmosphere in general
RPG elements (Compared to previous games)

Cons:
Terrible optimization
RPG elements could be improved (They did in Odyssey)
AI is often clunky and dumb
Combat is better than before but still problematic
The world is big but mostly empty

Conclusion: Definitely play it at least once. I would wait for sales though.

Edit: My final rating is 7/10 but I'm a bit biased because I love Egyptian mythology
