The verdict
A huge, gorgeous Ancient Greece action RPG with lots of content, but repetitive, grindy, and barely an Assassin's Creed. Skip it if you want stealth or hate Ubisoft Connect.
Great for
Open-world RPG fans who love Greek mythology, exploration and hundreds of hours of content
Main risk
Repetitive level grind plus a mandatory Ubisoft Connect launcher that can block play
