Re: Canon Recs: Ancient history

It'd probably be hard to get through the entire game before sign-ups close, but Assassin's Creed Odyssey! It's set in Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War, though like most video games it plays fast and loose with actual history (so you shouldn't expect amazing historical accuracy). But it's a very enjoyable open world RPG featuring a charming protagonist, a story about family and war and politics, lots of exploration and very pretty graphics of Ancient Greece. The male and the female protagonist (they're siblings, you can play as either of them, the one you don't play appears as an NPC), some of their family members, and a few of their allies and antagonists are in the tag set.

CYRT Oh, nice! I've been waffling on Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for ages but the sibling protagonist/npc is a trope I looooooovvvee

And relatedly, Assassin's Creed: Origins also fits the bill (this time it's Egypt in the time of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar). Same caveats apply about strict historical accuracy but it's got a lot of world-building detail that's period-right and the graphics are gorgeous. Plus the story is a tonne of fun. Only the main characters are in the tag set.
