Aaru and Aten in particular are simply stunning, and make for some amazing screenshot material. The most notable standout moments of the DLC though is where Bayek journeys into varied beautiful depictions of the Egyptian Afterlife. Undead Pharaohs certainly come under that category! It is nice that they tried to make each of them into proper boss battles, and visually they were quite impressive. I personally love when Assassin's Creed tries to break out of its comfort zone, and looks at its more crazy aspects. She could easily have been able to run an infiltration mission for when she had to rescue Bayek, so that feels a bit of a missed opportunity.Īs with the Tyranny of King Washington before it, this DLC focuses heavily on mystical elements. The final scenes seems such a natural fit that it has lead to some cynical fans suggesting that this DLC is in fact the truncated last act of the original game – simply removed and repurposed for additional funds.Īs a final note, it was a great shame that we did not get to play as Amunet in any way here. The revelations that lead to the forming of the tenets make much more sense here, as we see how exploiting innocents publically for a cause can be just as dangerous as the pursuit for freedom – especially with the attention it brings. Whilst it is short, running to only a few hours of main story, the ending does fix a number of narrative issues I had with the depiction of the Hidden Ones in the base game. It is nice to see that the Order of the Ancients continues to grow though, and we got some amazing Duat cutscenes once again. Their voice actors (Abubakar Salim and Alix Wilton Regan) again both put in really amazing performances, and their final scene together was simply amazing – touching, heartbreaking, and completely appropriate.Ĭoncept art of Aya in The Hidden Ones DLC by Jeff Simpson / Amunet statue (Source: AC Wiki)Īs with the base game, we do not really get much of a backstory to our villains here, but Rufio is at least memorable. However, Bayek and Amunet's new outfits look fantastic here, I was a huge fan of both and especially the latter's as she finally starts to take on a proper Assassin like appearance with a similar look to that shown in her statue of Assassin's Creed 2. Sinai as an area is quite mountainous, and as a result the terrain in this DLC feels a little samey in terms of visual variety. The desire to protect innocents above their call to duty is a vital and noble lesson to be learned as well -“ Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.” We see the “Brotherhood” becoming threatened through over exposure of its activities, forcing the Hidden Ones to try and reduce attention to themselves. Fortunately, the story does a good job of introducing the ideals behind the tenets of what will become the Creed.
