I suck at the game. The gameplay was a bit boring for the character I was on. So I dropped it and watched the cutscenes on YouTube at 4.0x speed. But seriously the story for this is better than the other games I've dropped.
All the characters are interesting, and most are likable. The story's scale is large and stays that way. There are many epic scenes and I'm not saying that in the "EPIC REDDIT MOMENT" meaning, there are truly epic scenes. The characters are well written, with a variety of realistic and mythical motivations. The gods are written as gods are in greek and ancient tradition, they are prone to superhuman emotions, as in they go far off the spectrum, all their actions in the game are fully believable. The story (coupled with the amazing art direction) truly draws you into the world. There were two small twists that I was genuinely surprised by and they were well-written, as in they added to the story and made me have confidence in the writing - 2 small twists wehre i was genuinely surprised,
(SPOILER)
the identity of the frog (maybe I just didn't pay enough attention), and the king's plan to get the ring back via Gwendolyn.
(END OF SPOILER)
Also, can't believe the artist and writer is one person. What a talented person.
Possibly the most consistently great game story I've ever experienced.
