Bayek of Siwa is the most grounded protagonist this franchise has ever produced, and his revenge story across a painstakingly crafted ancient Egypt is the clearest argument yet that Ubisoft Montreal can write actual human beings when they try.

Shared: mythology

Proof that dying can be the best part of a story: Hades turns every failed escape attempt into a character beat, and the combat is sharp enough that you will want to fail a few more times just to try the shield next run.
