Assassin's Creed Origins Discovery Tour Is Fun While Learning

The latest DLC installment for Assassin's Creed Origins is out and one of the things is the Discovery Tour. The Discovery tour gives you a museum experience within the game. Working with egyptologists it not only shares interesting facts about ancient Egypt, it also shows off historical items from museums all over the world. With 75 guided tours to choose from, you just follow the highlighted trail to several locations to hear historical facts from the NPC narrator about historic buildings, cities, and people.

Just follow the trail for a guided tour.

You can choose from a list of guided tours from your user interface menu. You can fast travel to these areas and start the tours. You can also choose from a variety of characters ranging from Bayek to Cleopatra to Julius Caesar in order to walk the tours. Discovery takes out the combat of the game and allows you to explore the areas in depth while learning about them. 

You can choose avatars like Julius Caesar to explore Discovery Tour.

I loved the Discovery tour. I have always been a big history nerd and ancient Egypt is one of my favorite subjects. It was interesting and fun learning about things such as what daily life was like and learning about how the city of Alexendria was built. I loved seeing the different artifacts from museums all over the world. I also found it interesting that they also gave insights into things they used in the game, what they changed and why, and showcasing various architect designs of the various areas.

You can see artifacts like this one with Discovery tour.

When a guided tour is ended, you can free roam and explore. This is really cool because you can observe things like how people made bread. It gives a lot of great small details that add to the experience. You can also take photos of things that capture your interest while on these guided tours.  You can take in beautiful scenery and sites. It was a lot of fun for me just taking pictures of things I really liked seeing like the city of Alexandria at night. 

One of the great views in the tour.

One of the most interesting things to me was learning about the history of  the architecture of historical buildings and learning about the city planning of Alexendria. It was cool learning all the ins and outs about that and how it was done. There are a lot of great maps of the city and various locations within the tour. 

Learning about the city planning is quite interesting.

Taking a break from the main game and checking out Discovery Tour is well worth it because it really lets you see just how much thought and research went into everything in the game. You have freedom to explore and have fun while learning about ancient Egypt and the historical figures that lived in it.
