REASONS TO BUY
+ Art style that perfectly imitates Ancient Greek art.
+ The story actually caught my attention because it was quite an interesting twist on Ancient Greek mythology and the finale was fantastic.
+ Plays like a bit like castlevania but with a consistent variety of gameplay mechanics.
+ Lots of items in the game that all present unique combat interactions.
+ Lots of interesting optional side quests and and plenty of secret areas.
+ A full run is about 8-10 hours on the starting difficulty; it ends before its stale.
+ Items have durability but can be purchased again, Even the rarest items are available for repurchase on a black market NPC in case you're favourite weapons break.
+ Relatively easy to earn achievements (you have an opportunity to obtain anything you missed before the game ends) but a second playthrough is required on a harder difficulty for 100% completion.

REASONS TO RECONSIDER
+ Many of the seemingly minor mechanics seem intended for the harder difficulty that only unlocks after beating the game. For instance, there is a crafting system that is perhaps too generous on your first playthrough
+ Some merchants upgrade skills and armour so make sure you break everything to pay for the upgrades
+ Certain items cannot be purchased and may block your ability to advance such as Picklocks so it is vital that you break absolutely every box you can
+ Combat is only interesting if you switch weapons a lot which is why I believe items have durability in the first place - to encourage variety. If you have a favourite weapon type and try to stick to only using it then you may find the game tedious so try to experiment
+ Combat can feel clunky at times but only if you'reon top of each other
+ Hold left or right to gradually transition from walking to run but for some reason the character slows his pace if the terrain changes. I found myself jumping to extend the speed I was running before the slower pace began again.

CONCLUSION
+ It's an experience that I really enjoyed. I adored the art, it was absolutely stunning. It's just a completely well executed and polished game from beginning to end that merits the purchase for anyone even considering it.
