Assassin’s Creed Origins

 One of the most anticipated games of October 2017 is the new Assassin’s Creed Origins, which will be released on Tuesday 27th of October 2017, for PS4, Xbox and PC.  As we all know AC, is an open world and adventurous game, that has a loyal fan base, anticipating for the next big thing. Parkour, fights and long rides, are always on the menu, which are what we love about the series.  However, a big concern for the fans, about the new AC Origins is that the protagonist, Bayek, will be just another empty shell. From the little, that has been accessible to the public, he comes as very serious and dedicated to his missions, ignoring whatever may be happening in his surrounding. For that percent of the fanbase, that dies for a good story, nothing seems to top off Ezio Auditore, who seems to be the most charming protagonist of the series. In any case, we are ready to be surprised.

What we know and what we expect:

Combat:

 In general AC Origins, seems to have a great variety of both, heavy and light melee weapons, even though, there seems to be a preferance for the bow, as the main weapon of use.  One of the biggest changes in AC Origins, is in the combat system. Instead of chaining together a series of basic attacks, parries and countering animations, like in previous AC games, now, you’re in control of every swing. This means, you need to know, the range and the speed of your weapons, otherwise your enemy will get the upper hand.  Dodging and rolling, is initial in order to create an opening, in your enemy’s attacks. Knowing when to dogde is key.  Plan your attacks and dodges.  Be aware of your surrounding and pick your weapons depending on your enemy. There are area effect attacks.  By aiming at an enemy with your bow, you can see the ammount of damage, you will deal.  Headshots and backstabs deal the greatest amount of damage.  When you do a headshot, you get a slow motion effect, which will let you cast another one, or even chain them.  The surrounding is built in such way, that it supports all kinds of playstyle: ranged, melee or stealth.

Senu:

 Bayek does not travel alone. He has a companion with him, Senu. Senu is a female eagle, and their bond seems to be the beggining of the eagle vision, the other assassins possess. Even though, it is in a primitive state, which means, you can’t use it, where the eagle can’t travel (like houses or temples), you can use Senu, to highlight, tag enemies and see their paths. She can also be upgraded to distract or even attack the enemies too.

Torches:

 Another tool you are using through the game is a torch. They are mostly used, to search through tombs for loot and treasures, but there’s more to it.  It’s important to say, that you can pull out a torch, whenever you want.  With it, you can create distractions, drop it on the ground to create a fire, or even fight with it.  It is not just to get through dark places, it is a utility tool.

Surrounding: 

 The world is alive. Sandstorms are quite active, and not planned, it may happen at any moment (They also have an effect on detection).  There’s also a big variety of animals, such as: crocodiles, hippos, camels, cows, cats and flamingos, and there’s a high chance there is more to it.  Small details like, river streams and markets, make the world feel real, that, until a chicken drops from the sky, or people walk through obstacles, but we all hope these are glitches that will be fixed, before the game is actually released.  It is important to say that, just as in any AC game, the environment was created with respect towards the culture it depicts, in this case, the Egyptian. The monuments have been made, based on historical resourses, and are as close as possible to the real thing.
