Now then:

Yes, Ubisoft is trash.
Yes, their launcher is garbage.
Yes, their online services are horrible.
Yes, they use Denuvo, which is very annoying.
Yes, the fact that they came crawling back to Steam is pathetic.
Yes, practices where single-player games bombard you with pop-ups about store pages is scummy.


But that's just Ubisoft. As for the game itself, it's overall a fun and funny examination of Greek mythology which interestingly enough had the courage of exploring the more uglier aspects of its gods and focuses a lot on their flaws and defects. Oh yeah, and all of this is done via an old-school Iron Age family therapy-type thing, which I very much enjoyed.


8/10 - Who said we can't have "Breath of the Wild" at home?

This feels like a really polished breath of the wild clone with much more vibrant colours and a greek god setting. It does have the usual Ubisoft open world game problem where there's a lot of objectives that populate the area but the core gameplay loop is fun enough that if you like the game you'll happily complete all of it. The puzzles can get tedious in the middle section of the game but there's some great ones that require out of the box thinking which compensate for that grind. All in all this game does everything good 7/10, everything great if you're looking for a breath of the wild clone, and feels like the base of something that could become a 10/10 in its sequels. If this is on sale its 100% a must buy. At full price of £50 (Base game + dlc) its a decent purchase.

There are microtransactions in the game if you want to speed up progression and/or cosmetic armour but its a single player game so the progression skip doesnt really help you much.
