Assassin's Creed returning to its roots. Love the setting of Golden Age Baghdad. Basim and Roshan's story was just a tad cliche, I must say. The Hunt for Five was a classic though, a nice parallel with Altair's Hunt for Ten. The good old Assassin's vs. Templars conflict is back! Nice short and sweet story. I am absolutely fed up of games that are 200+ hours in length, but are an absolute grind. This game was a pleasant 35-40 hours for me and was not grindy whatsoever. Just pure story, exploration, admiration and fun.

Such a creative series, love the vast majority of the episodes of this anthology series. My favourite, and the one that got me into the series, is Jabaro, S03E08.

Honestly, love this man, he has done so much to keep us well-informed on the other life forms that we share this planet with. Yet this documentary was focusing more on the reality of what humans are doing, transitioning from a generous Holocene period where agriculture was founded, to a manmade Anthropocene, the greatest destruction of gene diversity our planet has ever faced.

Game of the decade. This game is GOATed.

The Harry Potter video game franchise really goes downhill from this entry onwards. HP1-3 were surreal, honestly, unrealistically good. HP4-7/8 need redoing, not at all captivating or emotionally engaging whatsoever.
