I liked Assassin’s Creed Odyssey a lot, even though there’s very little Assassin’s Creed to it. It’d becoming more and more of an RPG, which has many fans wondering if it would be better that the series splits off into two. I’m completely happy with the direction the series is going, and the more fantastical fun injected into the game (along with the historical setting), the better. Consumers, it seems, agree.

To celebrate Assassin's creed Odyssey's impending launch we’re going to give the thing away. Not just any edition though, we have the glorious Medusa edition of Odyssey to give away.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a marvellous game, that anybody with an interest in sprawling, epic RPGS should play – even if they’re not necessarily Assassin’s Creed fans. The game goes all in on the RPG aspects that have been introduced over the years. It’s starting to feel less and less like an AC game, less bogged down by that series’ lore. I’m entirely okay with that, because it’s resulted in a better game.

Assassin’s Creed’s gradual evolution to RPG is complete. While it remains familiar, the deeper combat, dialogue choices and consequences have upended Assassin’s Creed’s stealthy roots to deliver a sprawling, multi-tiered historical RPG epic. It’s the culmination of the series own journey, and only fitting it be called Odyssey.

One of the biggest of several changes that this year’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey makes is that it lets players choose to play as a male or female hero. From soon after the prologue, players can choose to play the game either as Alexios or Kassandra (and we reckon you’re going to want to play as Kassandra). It’s not the first …

Are you Team Kassandra or Team Alexios? If you haven't made up your mind yet, here are five compelling reasons why you should choose the female protagonist option when Ancient-Greece-set Assassin's Creed Odyssey releases on 5 October.
