Assassin’s Creed has burned us before. After releasing games which have been either technically wonky or just tedious to play, Ubisoft made the wise decision of taking Assassin’s Creed off the 2016 calendar, and instead refining the game to bring the series back revitalised, and after playing a little bit of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, they’ve definitely made some moves in the right direction, at least from what I’ve been able to tell from my EGX 2017 hands-on session.

Riding a horse along the bank of the Nile is exactly the kind of experience I first played Assassin’s Creed for; it wasn’t just a stabby-explorey action game, but a gateway into a place and time far removed from my own. The harsh sun of North Africa refracted off the Nile, desert sands and worn buildings surround the area, and Egyptians work hard on the crops they’ve irrigated the Nile for.
