No matter what you say about Ubisoft, I just love their games and, on top of that, I find the Assassin's Creed series one of my favorite game franchises ever. I was a little worried when I bought the newest one. Origins seemed to be too much for my good ol' PC. To my surprise, it works pretty smoothly. As usual, I chose the highest difficulty.
In this part: I noticed a significant shift in the general playstyle from stealth-based (as in previous games in this series) to a more focused on close combat. There are just too many enemies in all the restricted areas to take them down silently one by one. They patrol the area at a fast pace and very often appear rapidly out of nowhere. I think I will have to use Senu more often (but the dron-like helper slightly ruins the fun).
What I try to describe is clearly visible in this video (quest Water Rats and unsuccessful attempts to complete The False Oracle). I also got nice bow from Striking the Anvil.
