Okay... Decent attempt to revive the series BUT : First of all: Get Shadow Tactics or Desperados 3 if you haven't before this, way superior games in this genre. Second of all: The way they dealt with different floors / transition to outdoor-indoor is so bad you will get mad playing the last campaign mission. 100% !!! In the end, nice try to revive this dinosaur of a franchise but the jankiness, AI inconsistency, lack of vibes can be felt pretty often. Decent amount of content but full price can be a tough ask. Decent game for enthousiasts although this new opus feels pretty mid and there's better alternatives as mentionned above.

I started to play Commandos from the first entry...and loved all of the old games up until Commandos 3 Destination Berlin which was utter garbage (as for Commandos Strike Force....we don't talk about Strike Force...) If you are new to the franchise, you will lose nothing by playing Commandos Origins first so for you I say >>>> 7/10 recommended (hope you have a good rig or you'll have a mediocre experience) Now !!!! For my old players thinking of coming back to Commandos...>>>>WARNING>>>>...The Devs obviously didn't know what the fandom liked, got accustomed to or needed changing and I don't really blame them (the old commandos are....pretty old and the fandom is scattered or mostly gone), but if you are like me and consider Commandos 2 Men of Courage as the best entry as a whole in the franchise then you will sadly be very disappointed with Commandos Origins...it is basically a "back to roots" type of game focused more on the OG fans (if they are alive :D ), literally going back to the first two parter and mostly if not totally ignoring the mechanics that were implemented later on in the franchise. Things didn't carry over like the stamina counter or some mild abilities (like the Green Beret being able to scale small walls and obstacles - only his pickaxe cliff climbing ability is present ), also swimming is prohibited again for everyone except the Marine...and the worst cut is losing Lupin, Lips and Whiskey (that'd be the thief, Natasha and the good boii)...so in short, the devs just ignored Commandos 2 Men of courage :( ...if you play the game as a Remake of the original game then you'll have fun...otherwise you'll just feel let down...no Pacific theatre either (only Europe and Africa)...The worst change in my opinion is shuffling the equipment around yet again; the Sapper has the bear trap and all variants of nades, but not mines :| ...while the driver was given antipersonnel mines, piano wire and an SMG (oh yea, no more inventory and Commandos can't use Kruat weapons anymore :\ )...and now everyone can stealth kill up close, the sapper has a knife, the sniper has a knife, the marine has a knife (and throwing knives aswell), spy has his lethal injection and driver as mentioned piano wire. Commandos can no longer tie up knocked out enemies, you either have to carry them to a bush for them never to wake up (which are everywhere so not a big problem) but then why bother with knocking them out, everyone can stealth kill :o ...I'll stop here, but as you can see I am constantly comparing Commandos Origins to Commandos 2...in my eyes this is a gameplay downgrade...But you play it for yourself and decide. I say "good try" to the devs, but....falls short :( ...Peace

As a fan of the original games, I was excited for this one, and it didn't disappoint. It feels just like Behind Enemy Lines but with modern controls. The Pros: [*]Gameplay: It captures that classic Commandos vibe perfectly. The tactical stealth gameplay is spot on. [*]Mission Variety: The missions take you to a variety of very well-designed locations that are rich in detail. [*]Characters: The cast is well-presented, and I loved how their backstories unfold during the game. [*]Visuals: The graphics and overall art style are great and really fit the atmosphere. The Cons: [*]Performance: Not always perfect; I noticed some drops and technical hiccups here and there. [*]Too Linear at times: Some levels feel a bit too restrictive. More freedom in how to approach objectives would have been nice. [*]Post-Game Content: I’d love to see a feature like in Desperados 3, where you can replay missions with different characters and extra challenges. Verdict: A fantastic reboot of the franchise. I’m really hoping for more missions or future titles from this studio. Good job, Devs!

It definitely exceeded my expectations, though there’s still room for improvement. I feel some classic interaction elements are missing — like checking boxes, drawers, or enemy equipment/uniforms. One feature I really miss is the ability to hold enemies at gunpoint and force interaction, something I remember from earlier titles like Commandos 2. That said, there’s still a lot to appreciate — the executions, visuals, and variety of maps are all well done. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and genuinely appreciate the effort put in by the studio and the entire development team.

Before buying this game I first wanted to remember myself the first part - Beyond the Call of Duty - 20 years after I stopped playing it. I wanted to feel this climate and nostalgia again. So I passed all this game and then bought the Origins. And I must admit that Origins does a great job in every aspect. For a long-time Commandos fan like me it was a pleasure. The game does not have any defects except the minor ones that are acceptable and do not influence the game too much. Pros: - simply everything in game, perfect for a series fan - beautiful graphics, - old-new commandos characters with great features (finally every commandos has a quiet-kill option, so you dont't need to pass 90% of every mission with Green Beret), - very nice story and some interesting plot twists Cons: - a bit low variety of enemies (please, please Claymore... make some Japanese and Italian missions as well in next DLCs :)) - some bugs in Marine-Sniper night mission, where the movie-killed German officer suddenly appers to stand alive at the top of the car next to the building, or the rescued sailors run and instantly kill all the enemies on their way - Please fix it because it influenced (otherwise great) playing experience of this mission. - minor graphics issues somentimes appear to the killed enemies. It does not bother too much, but fixing it would improve the overall player experience. - You could add bit more climate black-and-white wartime movie clips with lector in between the missions to build up the climate like in first Commandos games. This would be, I guess, low cost and highly appreciated by the fans :) - You could as well add some old Commandos music into the missions. Origins has not very good music in missions comparing to the older parts. Again - low cost and great gain if you made this change! SUMMING UP: The game is near perfect, but I would love to see the changes I wrote above. I wait for the next tematical DLCs in Italy, Asia, France, USSR or anywhere else. The game has great potential and it's very good it has not ended in 1945, but much earlier.
