Assassin's Creed: Odyssey

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on the tail end of a couple other Ubisoft games was a bit overwhelming in concept and I wasn't really looking forward to this play.  But the Assassin's Creed games do create great cinematic moments, and this did not fail in that regards.  

You are Alexios in 450 B.C. - grandson of Leonidas, cast from the mountaintop by your own father for killing an elder while trying to save your sister, you survived and grew up on a remote island and return to carve your way across Ancient Greece in search of your mother and to question your father. 

The Animus story is that effectively the Precursors were meddling in the affairs of humans ("Project Olympos" that was referenced was presumably their deification) when there was a bit of a mutiny and they decided to let humans evolve naturally.  Decent origin story, and allows for mythical creatures in the land to ... deal with.
