A pretty decent game with an original story based around the Greek mythology. The game is pretty easy though, even in higher difficulties, if you focus on powering up your character. The combat in the game is surprisingly responsive and well-made even though it is pretty easy to master as well. And the game looks pretty (when it has rendered everything).

Now the story isn't the best part of the game. It starts pretty weak and the jokes between the narrator and the one the story is told to tend to miss most of the time. However, the story finds some solid ground as it progresses further. The main quest line isn't too long and it would be even shorter if the hardest vaults of Tartaros wouldn't take an hour to complete. And I'm not even implying that the puzzles are all that hard. The hardest vaults literally take ridiculously long to complete that it isn't fun or rewarding at that point anymore. The ideal model would be something between the easy and medium vaults or they should've just copied the tomb raiding system from the Tomb Raider reboots. The game also has a flying (or gliding) mechanic which made me hate the parkour and flying stages as Fenyx cannot take a sharp turn while gliding.

At the end of the main quest line I didn't even bother on completing the island 100% as the game doesn't even have Steam achievements (and I could care less about Bugisoft core challenges). Maybe I should just buy BotW and play that instead.
