After beating Assassin's Creed Odyssey you'll have likely sunken dozens upon dozens of hours into an expansive open-world RPG, so what comes next? If you're itching to jump into a new game but have a bit of RPG fatigue, we've got a few recommendations for you. And if you happen to be craving another open-world adventure, we've got you covered on that front too.

Mayan apocalypse: Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Lara Croft's final adventure in the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy ends with a bang. The latest entry in the series has all the good stuff: tombs to be explored, fast-paced action sequences, explosions. A shooter may be what you need after Odyssey's sword fights, so hop into Shadow of the Tomb Raider and take on Trinity in the Peruvian jungle.

Coming of age: Life is Strange 2

As far from a sprawling open-world RPG as you can get, Life is Strange 2 continues the series' penchant for emotional storytelling. After just one episode in this narrative adventure, you'll fall in love with Sean and Daniel. This time around, Life is Strange is swapping its time manipulation power for a bit of telekinesis. Be prepared for some Strange Things-esque events to occur.

Ancient Egypt: Assassin's Creed Origins

Odyssey not enough for you? Then jump into Assassin's Creed Origins. You're getting a nearly identical gameplay experience — minus the dialogue choices — this time set in ancient Egypt. If you're itching for more like Odyssey, you won't get any closer than this.

The above games cover a wide breadth of genres so there's a little something for everyone. Aside from State of Decay 2 and Assassin's Cred Origins, each game also recently released on Xbox One, meaning there's a good chance you haven't played them yet. Whether they're acclaimed for their stories or gameplay (or a bit of both), you'll find a fantastic experience awaiting you in each of them.

The media remotes to get for your new Xbox Series X or Series S

The new Xbox Series X and Series S aren't quite the home entertainment giants their predecessor was, but they're still very good with access to all the top digital streaming media services. And that means you're going to be doing more than just gaming, and for that you need a good remote. It's a better way to go than a controller for sure.
