And I don’t mean in the sense of “I’ve played this or something a lot like it before”. So many areas of the game just looked familiar. There were a few cases where a mission would direct you to a village or landmark and I instinctively thought…“Oh yes, that’s right around that hill over there, then a sharp bend in the road next to an altar, then straight east.”…that then turned out to be correct. It’s this odd sense that I’ve been there before. Even the style of terrain (rock formations, plants, trees) are familiar. The way fires and oil lamps look at night across the countryside. It’s an odd sensation but also strangely comfortable.

Just to add I’ve lived in the American Midwest and have never been to Greece or even out of North America.

    Are you sure you haven’t played it before? I’m about 40 hours into it right now and really enjoying it. But I can’t say I’m getting deja vu. I love the environments, and even though the game is probably way too long, I can’t help but be impressed by how much they crammed into the game.
