Assassin's Creed Origins: The Hidden Ones DLC Review

I’m a tiny bit late on this, but considering that  Assassin’s Creed Origins  was one of my favorite games of the year and the first open world title I’ve 100%ed in eons, I certainly wasn’t going to pass up on the DLC. This first expansion, The Hidden Ones, opens up a new part of the map you have to sail to, Sinai, and gives you a whole bunch more people to kill and question marks to explore. Well, a “whole bunch” may be a stretch. This is a short bit of DLC. Even clearing every point of interest on the map, it only took about three hours. The main storyline is essentially six missions, and there are maybe only 3-4 more side missions besides that. The Hidden Ones takes place four years after the events of the main game, but the only major thing that’s changed is that Bayek gets a cool, new, more Assassin’s Creed-y outfit. In Sinai, the Romans are still working with Egyptian sell-outs to oppress people and…you have to kill them. Oh and one of the rebels is bad too. The ...

Assassin’s Creed Origins: will introduce a new Egypt discovery mode in 2018

Assassin's Creed publishers Ubisoft are planning a new mode to let players learn the history of Egypt. Usually users run around ancient cities doing battle with a secret organisation called the Templar Order. That will still be the case in the next title in the series, but you'll also be able to treat the game as a playable museum from 2018. For the first time ever you'll be able to explore without being constrained by combat or the storyline. Set in ancient Egypt, Assassin's Creed: Origins will let players roam the landscape and use audio guided tours to teach them about what was going on there during the time of Cleopatra. One of the most successful franchises of all time, Assassin's Creed has previously been set in Victorian London, medieval Palestine and during the colonisation of North America. In order to make the games feel authentic, developers spent months researching the setting and events of the time. Now they say they want t...
