I am actually excited when seeing a historical movie without epic exaggeration. Recently this TV series was my favorite: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10405220/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10405220/ It presents a primitive material reality, but also the culture and supernatural beliefs. It doesn't have to be without monsters, it just have to portray them according to beliefs of people of that time, and not according to our modern interpretation, or modern appeal. It could be an opportunity to also document ancient societies, culture, mythical beliefs too. An addition. Also make a survival mode, where you are not just sightseeing safely, but also have to survive whatever is happening.
