"Sledgehammer Games were behind the brilliant Advanced Warfare – which boasted some seriously impressive visuals.

"After a lukewarm response to Unity and Syndicate, Ubisoft went back to the drawing board for Origins - to develop the most ambitious entry to the series yet.
"Set in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period, you play Bayek - a young, agile assassin - who becomes Caesar’s blade for hire.
"Here’s why it’s the best AC game for years: Origins is being teed up as one of the games to show off the Xbox One X’s grunt – and it’s not hard to see why.
";The world is stunning to look at and is teeming with intricate details, from underwater caverns to secret tombs hidden in pyramids.
"Just like in The Witcher 3, NPCs have a sense of purpose rather than just randomly ambling around.
"One of the biggest changes is combat – which has always been traditionally ‘passive’.
"Rather than launching attacks at enemies, it placed far more emphasis on timing and countering.
"The onus now is on more aggressive, chained combos via a hit-box system. This means you’re now able to injure individual body parts and strike multiple enemies as well."

"The world is brighter and more diverse compared with the last game – with lusher landscapes, pin-sharp foliage and plenty of light.

"Enemies are well-detailed, more so than the other friendly NPCs that jump in and help during battles.
"Orc captains and Warlords look especially impressive when the camera zooms in on them before a duel."
