I really enjoyed The Curse of the Pharaohs, because it was a lot of fun to explore the brand new map. The team at Ubisoft really outdid themselves with how beautiful the Afterlife looked, and the new enemy types.

It is the second out of two expansion packs for the game, alongside The Hidden Ones.

Further exploring Egyptian mythology, the expansion pits Bayek against mythical beasts and dead pharaohs.

Assassin's Creed Origins: The Curse of the Pharaohs provides a ton of new content for the game and does an excellent job of closing out the season pass.
It's hard to deliver quality DLC, and as the previous instalment saw, the result is often more of the same that fails to live up to the original or delivery anything new. There are 12 hours or so of content in The Curse of the Pharaohs, and while it isn't all good, the pieces that are good, are very good. So good, in fact, that it takes Assassin's Creed...
The Curse of the Pharaohs' unique spin on Origins' setting and formula makes for a memorable experience.
If you love Origins, you'll get a big kick out of "Curse of the Pharaohs". Simple, really.
