Unfortunately, often those moments are disrupted when I accidentally enter a restricted area, or when the story forces me to assassinate someone to proceed.
Today sees the release of a new “discovery tour” for Assassin’s Creed Origins, and it feels like it was designed specifically for players like me.
The tour takes place in the same virtual rendition of ancient Egypt as the core Origins story campaign, but one where most of the video game aspects have been ripped out.
From there, things begin with a look at the city of Alexandria and how it came to be.
One guided tour takes you step-by-step through the religious rituals in a temple, while another explores the different domesticated animals in the game.
But the tours also showcase the ways in which history was altered slightly in the service of better game design.
But the exploration-heavy style of Assassin’s Creed, combined with the stunningly detailed world built by the developers at Ubisoft, makes it a more inviting experience. »
