But mostly you’ll be hunting down the members of the order who where involved with your son’s murder. Cleo even annoints you to be Medjay to all of Egypt, which basically entitles everyone to start giving you even more sidequests.

The Order (not yet referred to as templars) is on the lookout for ancient artifacts and during one of their investigations, Bayek’s son Khemu was killed.īayek and Aya swear to track down the killers and at the same time help Cleopatra retake her throne alongside Julius Ceasar, as their goals (and assassination targets) coincide. While the historic parts are largely based on real history (or at least what we remember of it as historians sometimes disagree) Assassin’s Creed takes a lot of liberties to mix in its own subplot. And lastly you have the real-world protagonist who dives into the Animus (if you’re unfamiliar with the concept, think of it like the Matrix) to relive the memories of their ancestors.īayek and Aya’s story takes place in Ptolemaic Egypt, right at the time when Cleopatra was dethroned by her brother Ptolemy XIII. At the same time you have the overarching Assassins vs Templars plot that is present in each instalment but which finds its very roots in this game (as Bayek starts the Brotherhood of Assassins, hence: Origins). You always have the main driving element that motivates the protagonist Assassin, in this case that’s Bayek, the Medjay of Siwa (something like an official protector), who’s son was murdered and he and his wife seek revenge on his killer. Warning: As this game is HUGE, so is my review! I’ll try to cover almost every aspect of it, so you have been warned! If you don’t feel like reading all of it (but you’d be missing out)… then here’s a useful button to Skip to the End.Īs is common with the series the story is a somewhat interwoven mix of different elements. Did Ubisoft succeed? With Ashraif Ismael as the director (famous for his work on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag) we just might have another gem on our hands. While it’s become something of a running gag that there is a new AC game every year, they took an extra year of development this time around to reinvent the formula and to try and prevent the usual bugs.

The latest entry in the Assassin’s Creed series is without a doubt also the most ambitious.
