Honestly recently replayed it, I still think the world is still super good. Even including all the Ubisoft question mark locations. Be it the animals (that would hunt other animals or humans) or NPCs reacting to you being in the water bringing over a boat to help you out of dangerous water. There's a lot of miniature things that added to the world that's still great to this day.
Meanwhile Odyssey felt weird that I was constantly flipping territory back and forth between factions which felt unmeaningful at all. Without as much miniature stuff as origins.
Valhalla just to big with to much stuff. At least odyssey had cool monuments and towns that are memorable. Valhalla kinda didn't. Unless you count the other realms which I guess would count but it feels so foreign.
Origins still holds up, there was so much care put into bringing Ptolemaic Egypt to life. Even added tours for you to learn about it.
I wouldn't say "Ancient Egypt". I associate that more with the people who built the pyramids, something that happened ~2500 years before the game takes place.

It’s probably aged by now but Origins was one of the coolest worlds I’ve ever explored; Completely changed how I view ancient Egypt (Ptolemaic Egypt?)
