I'm a huge fan of Greek history and mythology, so I was very keen on this game.
Pros
- Visually outstanding. Exploring ancient Greece is a blast. The atmosphere is perfect.
- A solid combat system. The controls feel fairly smooth once you get the timing right.
- The storyline isn't completely rubbish and has a lot of heartfelt and/or funny moments.
- Sea shanties are back and the soundtrack is divine.
- The DLC released thus far isn't half bad.
Cons
- It's basically an unabashed re-skin, as are most of Ubisoft's games. But, if you enjoy the series then… What the heck- maybe not a con-
- The voice acting and character interaction is a bit sketchy sometimes.
- Grind, grind, grind. Side quests are absolute rubbish and you will hate them. “Kill these sharks, kill these bandits, kill these soldiers, kill more sharks…” Ugh.
- Not all unique items (legendary included) have unique skins. Bummer.
