This game covers the beginnings of the Assassin Brotherho🌳od and tells the ♎story of the franchise’s real first assassin, Bayek.

This game was a significant undertaking, with developers acknowledging NASA documentation and Egyptian historians to get the setting just right.

A game takes on more meaning when it goes from “just a game,” to its own world. If anyone has played Skyrim and seen a dragon barrel through and destroy something, they can appreciate this attention to detail. To create more realism in the world of Origins, the developers to have NPCs engage in real-world duties they would normally carry out in a 24-hour cycle. They socialize, eat, sleep, shop, and ꦕconduct business that is relevant to who they are in the game. Bandits will steal from people, and other things will happen outside of the main character’s scope. This determines how Bayek will approach side missions and other matters involving NPC characters. So, players need to keep in mind that NPCs are not at thei𒀰r beck and call.

What’s better than riding a horse? Traveling through Egypt on a mystical, rainbow aura carrying, white unicorn. This is obviously a joke by the developers, but the scene of one of the best assassins of all time running over pedestrians on a unicorn is definitely a piece of comedy go𓆉ld. Players can get the upon finishing 15 minutes of the game and paying for helix credits. With the Curse of The Pharaohs DLC coming in early 2018, it will be interesting to see if more mythological creatures start to make their way onto the marketplace for helix credit purchases. Either way, in a game that takes their history seriously, it is cool to see that they are not above having a little fun with gamers.

23 🍷 Better Hit Jump To Avoid Damage

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has always been successful in integrating parkour into gameplay. However, a failure to correctly land the jump can result in some damage to the health bar. In Origins during freefalls, players have to remember this to avoid high fall damage. If a player is doing a parkour-like freefall, they need to remember to hold the jump button to do a tuck and roll. This helps him absorb damage and gain momentum in battle situations. As long as the jump button is pressed by the time Bayek reaches the ground, then all should be good. The Leap of Faith in Assassins Creed is as iconic as🎃 the characters, so its helpful developers ma🐈de it easier to pull this off without incurring damage.

22 🅺 Are You Ready For Realistic Combat?

Realistic combat is like that idea you had to join the circus (or any other ragtag group) as a kid. It seems like a good idea in theory, but the realness of it might not look as cool as once thought. Developers have tried to come to a reasonable resolution to make some sense🐼 of the whole “realistic combat,” idea and have Bayak to have a customized combat experience ⛦where heavier weapons will deal more damage but will make him move and swing slower the more he uses them in a short time span. This opens up numerous counterattack opportunities for enemies and will make one-on-one battles even more challenging. Players will have to think long and hard about which method will be the better option to take down enemies.

21 ♛ ♉ Bayek Will Have The Chance To Participate In Some Egyptian Mythology

Just like Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate had its offshoot missions that allowed players to rub shoulders with literary legends, Origins is set to do the same. However, it might be a little more intense and involve a lot more combat. The pack for Origins will put Bayek in a “living nightmare.” While this is bad news for Bayek, who will have had his fair share of drama in the main Origins title, this is awesome news for gamers. He will have to fight mythological Egyptian monsters and dead pharaohs in Thebes in “The Cure of The Pharaohs.” It sounds like it will be a mash-up of God of War and a little Alan Wake, and all of this seems absolutely incredible. While the realities of 🐓Egypt are intrigui𒅌ng, it is nice to allow some nightmarish fiction into the equation.

People like options. We crave the flexibility to do things the way we like them. Wisely enough, Ubisoft developers understood this concept and decided to let gamers have more freedom in how they approach enemy combat situations. Some people like exploding through enemies Rambo-style, while others like to be more tactical and include stealth wherever possible. Well, gamers have their pick of the litter in facing and taking out enemies. There are over at the player’s disposal within the game with their own pros and cons. The onus will be on the player to decide what makes sense in various combat situations they may come across. Honestly, who doesn’t want to use a sickle sword, scepter, or bow aꦿnd arrow for any situation?

Have you ever experienced such intense heat you knew you saw something that was out of this world? Well, Bayek is no different than us. With average temperatures that are over 100 degrees during the day in the deserts, no wonder this guy can see some wild things in his travels. The developers of Origins take their connection to ancient texts seriously. If Bayek stands in the desert for too long, he will experience a of a Burning Bush, making direct reference to the story of Exodus. Bayek plays it off like a champ, still keeping✱ his assassin bravado as he casually walks by the odd scene. Most people would probably have not been as cool, calm, and collected after seeing shrubbery in flames.

18 G♕TA Ancient Egyptian Style

In the world of Ancient Egypt, it is every man for himself. Even through the maturity and regal nature developers bring to the world of ancient Egypt, some things never change. Bayek has multiple ways of gathering supplies he may need in sometimes unconventional ways. Bayek can pick up crafting supplies if Senu, the eagle, a merchant moving supplies. Bayek can then go and steal them if he is not able to hunt. However, like Grand Theft Auto, players caജn steal at their own risk. You never know when you are going to steal a car from someone who is rea൩dy to fight for it, and the same applies here. Some merchants will be escorted by guards, so this will not be an easy pickup.

17 ♉ What’s Better Than A🌟n Arrow? One On Fire!

Honestly, what weaponry doesn’t look cooler with some flames added to it? Come on! You know you have gone the extra mile to pick up a flamethrower or another weapon that can spit fire. There is just something inherently awesome about wielding flames at your will. Origins goes for a 🍨simpler, but no less excellent, way of infusing fire with weaponry. Bayek can his own fire arrows by dipping them into torches. This is pretty cool enough, but the fun does not stop there. Th𒊎e flaming arrows can be combined with free oil in the area to create explosions. You can take out, even more, enemies with this little trick. So, when going into an enemy camp take stock of all of the torches in the area, you might need them to make a light show out of enemies.

16 ꦆ 𓆉 Who Let The Lions Out?

Not sure if this counts as the 150 weapons, but this is another avenue players can use to take out enemies. Bayek can get some help in the combat department by unleashing caged animals in enemy camps. These usually are lions or hyenas (why anyone would have these animals randomly locked up makes no sense). Again, the developers of Origins got about how gamers can take out bandits, guards, or any other enemy that crosses the player’s path. This detail reiterates the importance of scoping out an are𝓀a and exploring all options available, and using Senu is a considerable part of acing this strategy. If you want to have “Indiana Jones-like” cleverness and wit, you can be “that guy” and teach those enemies a lesson by turning their animals against them.
