okay. review time because i'm real normal about this game
i have around a combined 300 hours in this game, PC and Switch so- take that as you will
I don't play many- if any AAA games, so picking up this game I wasn't expecting anything that would be super well suited to my tastes, and I was presently surprised, a cringe/stereotypical (in a good way) Ubisoft game with excellent combat systems, and open world environment. People say its like Legend of Zelda BOTW (I've never played but I can see the similarities) but Greek Mythology themed, and yeah! Huge open world with objectives and puzzle caves for rewards and progress. Yeah! But it's more then that!
I'm unironiclly a huge fan of this games story, sure it uses a lot of popular figures in the Myths, but they've done research, they talk about lesser known myths, talk about a non binary child, hint at Lesbians of Lesbos, like- for a Ubisoft game, I think that's surprising. Not to mention the charterers have Greek accents, a small but really nice detail. Again sure the story might be a little cringe, save the world etc etc, but I enjoyed it and having a silly story to enjoy is just so good. I like to love games, and I loved 100% this one.
Art direction and music play a massive part in this too, everything worked so well! The lighting looked so pretty in each area and each Gods realm was unique and fitted them perfectly. Same goes for voice acting, when they go into it, it goes crazy!!!
As for critiques, some Tartarus puzzles where a little annoying, some folk might find Zeus and Prometheus quips annoying (just enjoy the silliness really.) aside from that everything else was really nice to control. (if people complained about long distance travel, I'd be shocked there's so many ways to move in this game.)
TLDR: Perfectly enjoyable base experience and would genuinely recommend picking it up when it goes on sale! :3
