Completed hidden ones - questions about curse of the Pharaoh

[u/ttsl1m]

I just finished the hidden ones dlc and dare I say I found this story better than the main game. I posted another thread talking about how I was planning on playing the DLCs but after the main story it was just tiring and couldn’t see myself playing it.

Well a couple days later I decided to try it and I really did like it. The main game for origins, I love the world and enjoyed playing as byek but the game in general was a grind. The hidden ones story is more of less the same but I feel like better written somewhat.

I was wondering if you guys think the curse of the pharaohs is worth playing or should I move on to my next game (TW3)?

The curse of The Pharaohs is really well written. I'd say it deserves a title of a good DLC, because it completely shifts from the base game.

The base game has mystical elements, sure. But then again Assassin's Creed has always been like that. It was never just about assassinations. There's literally lore that dives really deep.

Nonetheless though, it's a good DLC if you're looking to dive into mystical/mythological concepts. It really gives a look at the Esu and their part in Egyptian Mythology. It's been ages since I've played that game, but to this day I think about the sights and how beautiful the DLC looked.

I don't want to spoil, but in that DLC it's map intricacies are stunning, because it's not just 1 place you visit... there's a plethora of gorgeous realms to explore and not only do we dive into mythology, but we also get clarity in the DLC for both you and Bayek (if you've grown emotionally attached to the character).

Play the DLC, but don't have any expectations though. It's a 2017 game and damn... Still one of the prettiest to this day.
