If you want to imagine this game think assassins creed odyssey but 20 years ago. This game starts out as a simple rpg with great graphics and good game mechanics. It develops into a great adventure that will keep you busy for hours. From ancient greece, egypt, babylon and the ancient east there are lots of adventures. The equipment you can collect is amazing too and what i found different about this game is that the first time you go through it you start on normal level and each subsequent play after completing this level, leads to legendary and epic mission that increase the weapons and items that you can collect. Completing shards to enhance your equipment also keeps you looking in every chest and box. The legendary bosses are a trial and very entertaining at the same time. The bull of Crete, Medusa the gorgon and lots more to keep you playing for hours. The main bosses are telkines and these will test both your skill and magic abilities. All in all an excellent early rpg :)

Sequel to David Gemmell's earlier Lion of Macedon, with more emphasis on the mystical elements this time around: whereas that earlier novel was perhaps 90/10 in favour of history, this is (IMO) closer to 40/60.

As the novel starts, Alexander is but a 4 year old and Parmenion is out of favour with Philip of Macedon, who is jealous of the Spartan general's success in battle. Alexander is still plagued by the Chaos Spirit, and - at around the 1/4 mark - is magically transported into an alternate Greece, where the myths and monsters of Greek legend are all real. With a little help from Aristotle and the Siptrassi stones, Parmenion is soon off on a rescue mission, accompanied by Philip's assassin Attalus (without Philips knowledge). The bulk of this novel - parts 2 and 3 (of 4) - then takes place in that alternate Greece, with Parmenion - again - reliving his past and playing a key role in proceedings, before it returns to 'our' Greece for the final part of the novel.

As is standard for Gemmell, lots of musing on the nature of Good and evil throughout, and with a conflicted central protagonist.
