Shortly after the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Castle: Medieval was also released as scheduled.

Although these are two different types of games, they are inevitably compared by many players in some other aspects besides gameplay.

For example, the historical background and the combat system.

If the two games were to be renamed, Assassin's Creed: Origins could be called Egypt Simulator, and Castle: Medieval could be called Medieval Simulator. Although the gameplay cores of the two are different, they have a very similar selling point, which is the architecture of the entire historical environment.

Both games are great choices for many players who like historical themes and cold weapon combat, as they both recreate a certain period of history well, giving people the illusion of traveling through time, while allowing players to play a very important role in this history.

However, after comparing the "historical elements" of the two games, many players will find that Assassin's Creed: Origins has even surpassed 4K games that are known for their historical games!

First of all, Assassin's Creed: Origins has a much larger story, spanning a wide area of northern Ancient Egypt in terms of geographical scope, with each city and village having its own unique story. Castle: Medieval, on the other hand, is confined to a single castle, and while the missions are just as rich, they are limited.

Secondly, the setting of Assassin's Creed: Origins is inextricably linked to major historical events, and players can manipulate Bayek and Aya to talk to some of the most famous figures in history, such as Caesar and Cleopatra, and complete major historical battles together. In Castle: Medieval, there aren't too many historical figures, and while all aspects of the game recreate medieval details well, the historical age isn't too strong.

And most importantly, Assassin's Creed: Origins chose Egypt as the location of the story, which was more attractive than medieval Europe.

In fact, there are already too many studies, documents, and literary works about the European Middle Ages, and game works are also endless. When game developers think of cold weapon combat or fantasy stories, their first reaction is to take it from the European Middle Ages, so this is a very mature genre that has lost some of its freshness.

Of course, "Castle: Medieval" can make a clear difference from other medieval-themed games with its own unique gameplay, using a combination of simulation management and realistic combat, and it is still a pioneering work; But if you compare the subject matter alone to Assassin's Creed: Origins, it will be overshadowed.

……

The label "Egyptian style" is not only popular in China, but also abroad.

For European and American players who have already played too many cold weapon combat themes, this story that takes place in ancient Egypt is full of freshness. In particular, the era setting of the story is very pleasing, belonging to the historical period that players are familiar with, but they are not tired of playing, coupled with the amazing beauty of ancient Egypt, which makes many players can't help but indulge in it.

On foreign game websites and forums, European and American players are also discussing the differences between Chen Mo's new game and previous games.

"Assassin's Creed: Origins was a big surprise for me! I was expecting Celant to be in a state of confusion after developing Apocalypse America, or to continue the style. But he didn't, but turned his attention to the realm of history! And just as good! ”

"Yes, I'm also very surprised, you know, Celent has almost never dabbled in historical themes before, but this time, he managed to surpass the 4K game, which has always been known for historical themes, which is really unexpected!"

"Yes, especially as an open-world game, Assassin's Creed: Origins is really so rich! It's like an encyclopedia of ancient Egypt, showing us Egypt thousands of years ago from all aspects of humanities, history, architecture, environment, etc., I have been addicted to ancient Egypt for several days, and I love it to death! ”

"What intrigues me is the setting of the 'Assassin Order'. Yes, there are many clues related to 'Assassins' in the history of the world, but this game is indeed the first game to introduce the concept of 'Assassin Organization'. At the end of the game, Aya and Bayek set up the Assassin Order in Rome and Egypt, respectively, and tell the origin of the Assassin logo...... Since the name of this game is Assassin's Creed, I was curious to know if there would be any follow-up story developments? ”

"I think there will be, after all, what exactly does the 'creed' in 'Assassin's Creed' mean? It's not very clear. Moreover, there is a lot to be learned from later history, and some are more suitable locations than ancient Egypt, such as Europe. ”

"I'm pessimistic about it because Celent never counts 2......"

"But Celent will release a collection DLC, have you forgotten Uncharted? Moreover, in Animus, there are many ununlocked modules, I think in terms of Serent's obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will never allow there to be unfilled holes, and these unlocked modules will definitely be made! ”

"Really? That's great! To be honest, I love the series very much, not only for its gameplay, but also for its historical and cultural background! If there are more Assassin's Creed series, then I'm sure I'm going to buy it! ”

……

Major game review sites have also given Assassin's Creed: Origins high marks, and TGN, which gave it a score of 9.2, gave such a review.

"Another benchmark and world-class IP of Celent was born!"

"Assassin's Creed: Origins takes players into the series' most enticing setting, Ancient Egypt, in a dark, multifaceted, and profound way. The protagonist Bayek is a sympathetic and courageous assassin driven by a desire for revenge, and the player will experience a twisty story from his point of view: a story of pharaohs and corrupt leaders, as well as love gained and lost, and you will also see the miserable situation of the people at the bottom who are forced to die of exhaustion and no one cares about them. ”

"Assassin's Creed: Origins is an intense journey that challenges the player's notions of right and wrong, and makes you ponder the justification of killing in the middle of the game. Moreover, the game's realism of ancient Egypt is astonishing, and it often makes people feel a sense of time-travel, and it can be said that it has achieved the pinnacle of historicity. Although there are a small number of bugs in the game, judging from the introduction at the beginning of the game, it seems that this is something that Silent did on purpose? Anyway, it's an immersive game, and there's absolutely no substitute on the market right now, so it's worth checking in! ”
