I like it, it's pretty good.
Considering this is a PS2 game remastered for PS3 from 10 years ago, I expected it to have felt more dated and aged not greatly, but to my surprise, it holds up quite well.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of the cutscenes look like absolute shit but the game itself looks and handles pretty well.
The story is entertaining if not incredibly basic.
The combat is mostly fun and intuitive, with them throwing new abilities at you every other hour to keep things fresh which I appreciated. However, damage-scaling was out of whack quite a few times, I was either 3 shotting enemies or taking 5 minutes to kill one of them. I wouldn't say this game is outright difficult, in fact I found most of it fairly easy, but they tend to throw a lot of enemies at you constantly, and once you think you've killed all the enemies in a room, and entire new wave spawns and it just becomes really tedious after awhile.
The best part of the game is easily the boss fights, unfortunately there are only like... three. They all slap, but I wanted more. Good thing there's three more main games after this one lol.
I really liked the world and set-pieces too, you don't go to many places, in fact most of the game takes place at Pandora's Temple, but the world design is great, especially for a PS2 game.
I'm a big fan of Greek Mythology as it is so seeing these places and characters show up, I felt like a die-hard MCU fan anytime something cool showed up, I was like "Yoo it's glup-shitto"
The level-up system was annoying though, you can't just press a button and level-up your weapons etc, you gotta hold the button down and watch the meter go up, that was annoying.
Anyways, good game, I liked it. It's aged fairly well, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a fun hack and slash game or just a fun greek mythology game.
I am hype for the next one.
