Shortly after the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Castle: Medieval was also released as scheduled.
Although these were two different types of games, it was inevitable that many players would compare them in other aspects besides the gameplay.
For example, the historical background and combat system.
If the names of these two games were changed, Assassin's Creed: Origins could be called Egypt Simulator, and Castle: Medieval Era could be called Medieval Simulator. Although the core gameplay of these two games was different, they shared a similar selling point, which was the structure of the entire historical environment.
For many players who liked historical themes and cold weapons, these two games were great choices. This was because they replicated the history of a certain period of time, giving people the illusion that they had traveled through time. At the same time, they allowed players to play a very important role in this period of history.
However, after comparing the historical elements of these two games, many players discovered that Assassin's Creed: Origins' historical knowledge completely surpassed that of 4K, which specialized in historical games.

First of all, the story of Assassin's Creed: Origins was more grand. Geographically speaking, the story covered the entire northern region of ancient Egypt, and every city and village had its own unique story. On the other hand, Castle: Medieval was limited to a single castle. Although there were many missions, they were limited.
Secondly, the background of Assassin's Creed: Origins was inextricably linked to important historical events. Players could control Bayek and AiYa to talk to famous historical figures such as Caesar and Cleopatra, and they could complete important historical battles together. On the other hand, there weren't many historical figures in Castle: Medieval. Although all aspects of the game replicated the details of the Middle Ages, the historical sense wasn't very strong.
Most importantly, Assassin's Creed: Origins chose Egypt as the setting of the story, which was more attractive than Europe in the Middle Ages.
In fact, there were too many studies, documents, and literary works about the Middle Ages in Europe. There were also endless games. When game developers thought of cold weapons or fantasy stories, their first reaction was to draw inspiration from the Middle Ages in Europe. Therefore, this was a very mature theme, but one that had lost its novelty.
Of course, Castle: Medieval had its own unique gameplay, which combined business simulation and realistic combat. It was clearly different from other medieval themed games, and it was still a groundbreaking work. However, when compared to Assassin's Creed: Origins, it paled in comparison.
…
The label 'Egyptian style' wasn't just popular in China, it also attracted a lot of attention from overseas.
For European and American players who had played too many cold weapon combat themes, this story that happened in ancient Egypt was full of novelty. In particular, the setting of the story was very pleasing. It belonged to a historical period that players were familiar with, but they were not tired of playing it. Coupled with the amazing beauty of ancient Egypt, many players could not help but be immersed in it.
On foreign gaming websites and forums, European and American players were also discussing the differences between Chen Mo's game and his previous games.
"Assassin's Creed: Origins is a big surprise for me! I originally thought that Salent would go into a period of confusion after developing "American Apocalypse" or continue this style of development. But he didn't, and instead turned his attention to history! And it's just as good! "
"Yes, I'm also very surprised. You have to know that Salent has never dabbled in historical themes before, but this time, he has successfully surpassed 4K, which has always been known for its historical themes.
Game, this is really unexpected! "
"Yeah, especially as an open world game, Assassin's Creed: Origins has a lot of content! It's like an encyclopedia of ancient Egypt, showing us the Egypt of a thousand years ago in terms of culture, history, architecture, environment, and other aspects. I've been immersed in ancient Egypt for a few days now. I love it! "
"What I'm interested in is the setting of the Assassin Organization. That's right, there are a lot of clues related to the Assassin Organization in history, but this game was the first to introduce the concept of the Assassin Organization. At the end of the game, AiYa and Bayek established the Assassin Organization in Rome and Egypt respectively, and explained the origin of the Assassin's Creed … Since the game is called Assassin's Creed, I'm curious to know if there's more to the story. "
"I think there will be. After all, what does the 'creed' in Assassin's Creed refer to? It's not very clear. Moreover, there's a lot of content in history that we can use as inspiration. There are places that are more suitable than ancient Egypt, like Europe. "
"I'm pessimistic about this, because Salent never counts to two …"
"But Salent will release DLCs. Have you guys forgotten about Uncharted Seas? Besides, there are still many unlocked modules in Animus. I think with Salent's obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would definitely not allow any unlocked modules to appear! "
"Really? That's great! To be honest, I like this series very much, not only its gameplay, but also its historical and cultural background! If there are more Assassin's Creed series, I'll buy as many as I can! "
…
All the major game review websites gave Assassin's Creed: Origins high ratings, and TGN, who gave it a score of 2, gave such a comment.
"Another benchmark and world-class IP for Salent is born!"
"Assassin's Creed: Origins takes the players deep into the most attractive environment of the series – Ancient Egypt in a dark, multifaceted, and profound way. The main character, Bayek, is a sympathetic and courageous assassin. He's driven by revenge, and the players will experience a complicated story from his point of view. In this story, there are pharaohs and corrupt leaders, as well as love gained and lost. You'll also see the people at the bottom of the hierarchy working hard until they die of exhaustion, but no one cares about them. "
