Assassin's Creed Origins

Assassins Creed Origins is the tenth addition to one of Ubisoft's biggest gaming franchises. "Origins," as the name suggests, follows the story of the very first assassins. You play the role of an Ancient Egyptian supercop (Medjay) named Bayek who tries to keep peace in an embattled and turbulent Egypt during the late Ptolemaic period. The game gives a fascinating look into the global politics of the time, involving historic characters such as Ptolemy XIII, his more famous sister Cleopatra, and Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

Assassins Creed Origins presents the studio's best visual take on Ancient Egypt, and this could be the best rendering on how the superpower south of the Mediterranean could have been. The game is powered by Ubisoft's AnvilNext 2 engine, which also drove the previous two entries to the franchise. The game takes advantage of DirectX 11 and rewards faster graphics cards with more eye candy.
