Assassin's Creed Origins: 10 Promising New Screenshots You Need To See

8. Mortal Wounds Aren't All That Mortal

The new Dark Souls-aping combat system certainly looks tight enough, but one particularly off-kilter quality comes from the special attacks. One-off animations you'll build up a "Rage Mode" to activate, you'll do everything from lop off heads and limbs to run people through with spears.

Thing is, enemies can do these too, and if neither of you are low on health chances are you'll see your stomach replaced with steel - only to carry on fighting like nothing happened.

Hopefully Ubi tweak just how devastating these attacks are, as right now their animations are befitting of mortal wounds - yet that isn't the case in-game.
