How Assassin's Creed: Origins' photo mode makes your Egyptian tourism feel important

For years I've claimed Assassin's Creed is better as virtual tourism than it is as a game proper. It was only a matter of time until they gave players a camera. Uplay tells me I'm at 83 percent completion overall--just some forts and a few side quests to mop up, but I've finished Bayek's story, learned how the Assassins came into existence, uncovered the secrets of the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. And Bayek's right, the Sphinx is smaller than I thought. And yet my map is still full of icons.
