Do you remember the old EA Store? Probably so, considering that within it, we could find many of the best games in the world, which, as is evident, had been developed by the people of Electronic Arts. In any case, today, you can also access these titles, and to do so, you have to enter Origin, which is the platform that interests us and that we will analyze below.

Origin is then nothing more than an application as a store, which comes to succeed the old EA Store, and within which you can find a tremendous amount of content from Electronic Arts to download to your Windows computer. To give you an idea of what it offers, if you know services like Steam, you have to understand that this is a variant oriented explicitly to EA products.

How it works

Once you have installed Origin on your PC, you will be able to access, from the ease of your Desktop, many of EA's developments, but also perform other actions such as consult the latest news from the company, or try demos. In case those demos have convinced you, from this platform, you can acquire the games, either downloading them if they are free or buying them from there if they are paid.

And suppose you have already downloaded some of your favorite titles from Origin. In that case, you should continue using this tool since you will find many patches and updates for the games, thus improving your entertainment experience. That is to say. This utility will help you get to know new titles and eventually try them out, buy them, and improve them. It's hard to ask more from an application like this.

Are you in the middle of a game and have to leave home but don't want to lose the progress you've made? Don't worry; Origin will let you save those games and store them in the cloud. This way, if you want to continue the fun on another computer, you have to re-open your user profile, allowing you to continue your games exactly where you left off.

Even if all of the above doesn't convince you, you should know that Origin has a magnificent social section, which allows us to access a community of users with whom we can not only play against each other in the different games but also have conversations or share some of our favorite content. Also, if you have difficulties with any of the titles, you can solve them by asking your questions here.

And what games can I find in Origin? Many of the most famous Electronic Arts games, although if you want some examples to give you an idea, you can think of the simulator FIFA, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, or Battlefield. As you can see, several of the most popular titles of recent times are hosted within this service, which is why it is a must-have application.

Origin's user interface, on the other hand, is excellent, taking into account that it not only has a very well-achieved aesthetic, thanks to which it is possible to navigate easily between its menus, but also the organization of the contents is perfect. You can always find the demos, games, or updates you want in seconds.

Keep in mind

Although Origin has many free games, and most are very good, others are also paid, so you have to be willing to pay a certain amount to enjoy some deliveries, especially the most famous ones.

The best

Among the main positive features of Origin, we have to talk then about its operation, which is entirely intuitive, even when you have not had previous experience with similar tools. On the other hand, considering the solutions it provides, its installation is also straightforward. Of course, the fact that it offers updates and add-ons for downloaded games is excellent.

The worst

On the other hand, Origin has aspects that, although we could not consider negative, affect the use of this service and its games. First of all, you should know that you have to have this program installed to enjoy these titles, a restriction that, for some users, will be absurd. And secondly, of course, this tool is only helpful for EA games and not for those of other studios.

Rating

If you consider yourself a fan of EA titles, there is no doubt that Origin should not be missing on your PC. It offers all the support for downloading, updating, and even several demos to get to know the titles before paying for them.
