5 Inventive Gameplay Features Painfully Ignored by Other Developers
Discovery Tour (Assassin’s Creed Origins)
Assassin’s Creed Origins proved an exemplary entry in the series for a number of reasons, but one of its most unique features came post-launch. This was the game’s Discovery Tour, a mode that allowed players to explore Ubisoft’s lovingly crafted recreation of Egypt.
Along with information on the Pyramids, Sphinx, and other historic structures, the mode offered players the chance to learn more about the culture of the game’s setting and how it tied into real life.
It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least, and many have sung the praises of the mode since it was released. Sadly, other developers haven’t yet announced anything similar — though in fairness there aren’t too many it would apply to. Still, we’re holding out hope that educational experience continues to be implemented into video games.
