I went into this game expecting a time loop mistery about ancient history and got that and some really problematic stuff going on.
The characters and the setting are beautiful and really come to life, which is really sad that for me they got obscured by the racist Ancient Aliens theory the game decides to use to explain...everything, basically, down to the birth of civilization. This sadly left me unable to love the game, making it feel like everything was just a joke and that humans are fundamentally evil, coupled by the end dialogues not so subtly implying that all old religions are complete lies (the only character who lives a good life and hasn't abandone religion is a christian lady back in roman times). Even if the final message of the game implies otherwise, the taste the big reveal left for me was pretty sour.
Excelent characters, with a meta narrative pretty abhorrent in my opinion. This game took too sittings for me to finish and the first one was absolute bliss for an historian, delving into some really interesting topics of history. Too bad the final stretch just decides to go full Assassin's Creed
