One of my favorite "smooth-brain" games - an experience with a central gameplay loop so satisfying that I can zone out for hours playing it and not get bored. To its credit, the rest is also quite excellent, with the story and visual design deserving plenty of praise all on their own.

I managed to actually complete the epilogue, so I feel comfortable in leveling my one major critique of the game - it starts to get extremely repetitive after your first full run. The unlockable aspects of your weapons are cool, and the side quests do provide some nice motivation for continued play, but I felt my enthusiasm waning as the canvas of the story started retracting with each subsequent success.

Still, this is the best game Supergiant has made thus far (I have real high hopes for Hades II) and absolutely a worthwhile play for any Greek mythology fans or players looking for the next "endless" game to keep them satisfied.
