It has tight platforming,Apotheon is a MetroidVania styled game with the look of Greek Pottery painting. This game does everything right. It has tight platforming, expansive levels, gorgeous atmosphere, extremely detailed graphics and not to mention the unforgiving combat. Something I found very frustrating with the game was the inventory. The inventory, while vast, won't let you sell unused weapons back to merchants to use that money towards more useful items. You face Greek Gods such as Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hades, etc..
   
   There's not much about Apotheon, other than the non-sell able inventory, that I can complain about. It's a truly wonderful and enjoyable experience. Yet another fantastic game to start off 2015 with a BANG!… Expand

I had timedFirst of all, those who says this game is boring is lying to you. It brings a good story and it gets you interested in mythology. I had timed when I found my self glued to the ps4 remote. Bit the most bad thing you can do in a game like this is screw up the controls. At times I found it frustrating to be in combat. And the gameplay can be sticky. This is what holds this back. But other than that. This is a game that you can play to past time.i dont expect this to be played head on, non stop. No this is not for that. I recommend this if you want to just start your ps4 and play for a few hours.… Expand

   Amazing setting, nice story, but repetitive gameplay. Also, not so comfy controls. The font is too small.

The game's story is far too bland. The combat system was something fresh at first, but it also got boring really quick. As a player all you need to do is to kill waves and waves of enemies. By the time I had reached the final level of the game, I just found myself rushing and dodging through the countless enemies, because fighting them was too tedious. The post game is pretty much nonexistent and the game has no replay value. The soundtrack was nice for the most part. So there was at least something good with the game.
   
   The game was a PSN plus monthly game. And that's all what it should be. I would not pay any extra for a game like this.… Expand

So that aspect of the game is definitely not something to look for. The "divine" place is not very divine at all considering you can and are even a kind of encouraged to do GTA-style action like killing a guard and waiting for your "wanted level" go down. Seriously? This is Olympus instead of Los Santos? Not to mention people up there just look like ordinary Greek citizens instead of anything godlike. It just ruins the immersion totally. That said the combat and art are decent enough. If you imagine an immersive epic experience, it's definitely not there. If you just want to pass your time and have some fun, it's OK… Expand

   How can I sum up this terrible game? Well it doesn't deserve a full review so here goes:

   Utterly terrible game. Boring, awful graphics, crude sluggish controls, appalling level design, horrific music score, non existent story line all add up to create this months dreadful free PSN game. Look, you cant even give this rubbish away. Avoid at all costs if you have any respect for your self or gaming.… Expand
