Life-and-death

Ancient Egypt was a culture fascinated with death. Mummies, tombs and pyramids - citizens of that civilization focused their whole life on their inevitable demise. Despite the public's fascination with how ancient Egyptians met their end, few ever see how they lived. That's what makes Assassin's Creed: Origins intriguing. It tries to re-create an era of antiquity, with some artistic license.

Players take on the role of a Medjay named Bayek. The biggest change is the combat, which has more of a Dark Souls flair. Meanwhile, the bow and arrow become a staple. Tools such as sleeping darts and torches also prove invaluable in combat.
