Assassin's Creed Origins Shards From A Star

Okay, let's talk Assassin's Creed Origins. Specifically, those glowing Shards From A Star.

I know, I know. Everyone loves uncovering these ancient secrets. But hear me out.

Shards: More Like Chores?

I think collecting them is, dare I say, a little… boring? Controversial opinion, I know!

Running around the desert for hours searching for these shiny rocks? It gets old, fast.

It's like the game is saying, "Hey, remember that awesome main storyline? Forget about it! Go find these things!"

The Allure of the Supernatural...Or Not?

Sure, the rewards are cool. Who doesn't want a super weapon?

But the journey? Ugh. So much horseback riding.

And the puzzles! They aren't exactly brain-busters, are they? More like "mildly inconvenient."

Bayek Deserves Better

Let's be real. Bayek is an amazing character.

He's got a tragic backstory and a thirst for vengeance. He's not just an artifact hunter.

Does he really need to spend his time chasing after space rocks? I think not.

Forget the Shards, Give Me Story

I'd much rather dive deeper into the political intrigue of Ptolemaic Egypt.

Or explore more of Bayek's relationship with Aya.

Anything is better than another endless trek through the sand, right?

It's Not All Bad...Okay, Maybe Mostly

Okay, okay. I admit, the environments are gorgeous.

And finding a hidden tomb is always a thrill, even if it does contain another darn Shard.

But still, there are better things to do in the game. Like assassinating targets. Which, you know, is the whole point.

Am I Alone?

Seriously, am I the only one who feels this way?

Are the Shards From A Star just a tedious distraction from the main game?

Or am I missing something crucial here? Maybe I just need more patience…or maybe I need to hire someone to collect them for me.

My Unpopular Opinion

So, here it is. My controversial take:

The Shards From A Star questline is the weakest part of Assassin's Creed Origins.

There, I said it. Judge me if you must.

But I'd rather be fighting crocodiles than searching for shiny pebbles any day.

Let's Agree To Disagree?

Of course, this is just my opinion.

If you love collecting the Shards From A Star, that's totally cool.

Maybe you're just more patient than I am. Or maybe you genuinely enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

So, What's Your Take?

Ultimately, Assassin's Creed Origins is a fantastic game.

Even if I do think the Shards From A Star are a bit of a snooze-fest.

But hey, at least they gave us something to complain about, right?
