Assassin’s Creed fans agree that the death of Bayek’s son inOriginsis easily one of gaming’s most brutal tragedies.
WhileAssassin’s Creed’s RPG entries tend to be a tad more divisive than their stealth-based counterparts, I think we can all band together and agree thatOriginsis a fantastic game. In fact, fans have previously defended it as“one of the best games ever”. A bold claim, but it is one that is oh so very easy to return to. While the side content may feel a tad repetitive at times,Originsboasts a stunning open-world, an engrossing story, and revitalised combat. What more could you want? That engrossing story does happen to include one particularly sad scene though.

“Bayek’s son absolutely destroyed me. I was not expecting to be that upset,”wroteReddit user Cafffffffy, while Economy_Candidate299added, “That slow shot where Khemu looks at you before his eyes roll white. It still hurts.” User malachimuscleratcommented, “Abubakar Salim (Bayek) sells that s**t so well. He’s maybe my fav[e] protagonist just because the voice acting is so good.”
It’s true that Salim’s performance is stellar. I just rewatched the scene and oh my, my heart feels raw. Of course, it’s not the only tragedy to take place in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The execution of Ezio’s family inAssassin’s Creed IIhas surely got to be up there too. Who knows what this year’sCodename Redhas in store.
