I'm a history buff and an occasional Doctor Who fan so any experience that lets me step from the Tardis into a strange land and explore a bit tends to have my approval. Some future historian, while shifting through the endless pointless blog posts of the the year 2018 (Hi there now present historian), will laugh at me for thinking that a static world devoid of people that is nicely modeled but certainly not realistic is a great trip through time. In 2018 being able to take a somewhat linear guided tour of parts of Athens as it was 2000 years ago and stare up at a well made replica of the massive statue of Athena is a really great experience.
I've taken the Great Courses tour of Greece and Turkey, and now I want to take it again, but as good as it is, and it is, being 'in' a 3D modeled version gives an entirely different perspective. These sorts of, yes I overuse the word, experiences along with real VR movies are why I got the Go in the first place. If you like history grab it and enjoy.
