Apotheon Reviews
Stunningly unique but ultimately messy, Apotheon is enthralling Greek mythology caught in the grips of unfriendly combat.
Apotheon is attractive, vibrant, and challenging when Nikandreos is scrapping with a deity or exploring Mount Olympus, but it's dragged down whenever he has to squabble with its innumerable mortal thugs—which is all the time.
Apotheon wants to make us citizens, but it ultimately leaves us tourists.
Apotheon manages to be a truly unique entry into what's a decidedly overcrowded genre. With its polished design, excellent sense of story and beautiful aesthetic, fans of the platformer genre would be remiss to skip over it, despite its at times clumsy combat controls.
Apotheon is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. The beauty of this game mixes well with fast-paced original gameplay to create a truly great game. The game has its negatives but they are greatly outweighed by the positives in the game. Apotheon is a great game that any gamer will enjoy and will have many people coming back for more.
Crashes, glitches, bugs and constant below-par combat manage to undermine the gorgeous art style.
Aside from the lack of co-op, I can't really think of a more engaging action game than Apotheon. Equally, I can't think of a game that fans of ancient Greek mythology will find more interesting than the story that this one weaves. Sorry, Kratos, but you've got nothing on Nikandreos.
Apotheon seemed like a very promising game from its trailers, and now that it's out and I got the chance to play through it, I can finally justify liking it from the very beginning.
Apotheon is an experience that fans of metroidvania games will admire for its unique art style and vastly open-ended world.
