Assassin's Creed is one of Ubisoft's flagship franchises and it has seduced many Players through the years thanks to its dynamic gameplay, but also its historical aspect. Indeed, the series has made us go through many eras. Passing through the Third Crusade, the Italian Renaissance, the Golden Age of piracy, or the French Revolution, the series took us all over the world, but also in time. From the beginning of the series, each episode follows chronologically from the twelfth to the twentieth century. Assassin's Creed: Origins jumps in time and takes us to Egypt, 49 years before JC. It is a turning point, ancient Egypt is nearing its end and the Roman Empire is about to annex it. In this context, you play as Bayek, a medjay, protector of ancient Egyptian traditions, and one that will be behind the creation of the Brotherhood of Assassins. Assassin's Creed: Origins brings you a whole new approach to gameplay in addition to helping you discover how and why the Brotherhood was created. While the previous franchise games were action-adventure oriented, Assassin's Creed: Origins introduces an RPG dimension. Therefore, some elements have been modified: the minimap is replaced by a compass bar at the top of the screen, like in Skyrim. Your goals and quests will be displayed, along with the distance to them. Quests will also be governed by a level system that you will need to take into account to avoid getting into trouble. You will have to gain experience by completing quests and level up to improve your skills. Assassin's Creed: Origins introduces a great novelty, the talent tree. With dozens of skills to unlock, it offers three different branches to adjust the talents of Bayek to your playstyle. The Warrior will use brute force in close combat. The Seer will be an expert in infiltration and escape, using smoke grenades and other gadgets. The skills of the Hunter will favor ranged combat, with the bow and Senu, the eagle that will accompany you throughout the game. Senu will be a great asset. Always with you, you can play directly as the raptor in order to fly over zones to locate your enemies and objectives. You will also be able to mark them in order to facilitate your progress in these zones. The fighting system has also been rethought. If the franchise had accustomed us to more or less automated fights, this is not the case in Assassin's Creed: Origins. You will need to be more strategic, especially using dodge, or your shield to counter the attacks of your enemies. You will also fill a gauge while fighting, allowing you to load a powerful attack. Fighting fans can also take part in arena fights in which you will have to face waves of enemies and even bosses. And of course, between quests, you'll have plenty of time to explore the magnificent scenery of ancient Egypt. The huge map of the game will take you through cities, but also through the mountains, and you will visit the most famous monuments such as the Great Pyramids, or the Sphinx. You can also admire the Nile with its rich fauna consisting of hippos or formidable crocodiles, or sail on the river using boats that you find here and there. And as the icing on the cake, you will now have the ability to dive underwater wherever you are in order to amass loot, an essential component of RPG. As you can see, Assassin's Creed: Origins brings fresh air to the franchise. Get ready Assassin, you have a brotherhood to found!
If you want to continue discovering the story of the Brotherhood of Assassins you can't miss the eleventh installment of the series, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, an amazing adventure that will take you back to Ancient Greece.
