Assassin's Creed Origins is now available on all platforms. The tenth instalment in the franchise is set in Ancient Egypt, and sees the player see the origin of the Assassin's Brotherhood.
The protagonist is a Medjay called Bayek, who becomes the first Assassin. Bayek can use his eagle Senu, to scout areas before advancing. The eagle replaces the "eagle vision" mode which was available in the previous games.
Also, unlike the earlier games in the series, Origins is an action-RPG, and features loot. You can find and use various weapons which have different characteristics, including rare items. And as an RPG, you will also go through an experience and leveling system and a skill tree to master.
