Just in case you needed some wholesome news for this fine Wednesday morning, one dad has thanked Assassin’s Creed fans for helping him find a game for his autistic daughter to play, saying that they’ve given both him and his kid “a great gift”.

On Reddit a few days ago, user Derkastan took to r/assassinscreed to ask if anyone knew how to remove combat or aggro from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag so that his nine-year-old autistic daughter could explore the world without having to fight anything. Helpful Assassin’s Creed fans were quick to point out that in the more recent games, Discovery Tour exists, which allows players to wander the land without being interrupted by any quests or battles. Perfect!

Take a look at the trailer for Assassin’s Creed Mirage below.

In a wholesome update post, the user shared a picture of his daughter engrossed in Odyssey. He wrote: “Thank you, everyone. I was unaware that the newer titles had a discovery tour mode. After listening to you guys, I bought the standalone version for Odyssey, figuring that ancient Greece would be more colourful and vibrant than Egypt, plus… sailing.

“She was able to try it for the first time tonight, and was in heaven. She sailed her little boat around for about 45 minutes, before deciding to finally go to an island. I helped her get off the boat, then showed her how to press W and Shift at the same time,” he continued. “She immediately climbed up a tall cliff, ran across a field, climbed up to the top of a mountain, and then she stopped, dead in her tracks when she saw this view. Then she said something. My daughter is 9.5 and I’ve never had a conversation with her yet. She said, ‘Papi, look… da’ocean iz beautiful.’”

I’m not crying, you are. Video games really are magic, huh? Hopefully, she'll enjoy the game for many more hours to come.
