A fantastic add-on that expands on what made Origins great. Thebes is an absolutely beautiful city, and the area surrounding it is also full of interesting architecture and natural locales. The four afterlife locations are mesmerizing places, especially Aaru and Aten: the fantastical visuals are balanced with the calm atmosphere that pefectly goes hand-in-hand with exploring these areas both as a gamer and an eager new learner of Egyptian mythology.

One gripe I have is the boss battle. Origins really never had good boss battles to begine with; its melee combat was simply not responsive nor refined enough. The Curse of the Pharaohs has bosses with more difficult (i.e. bullsh*t) patterns, especially the last one.
