"Steam Deck Verified" is a joke when I try to launch it and it instantly crashes.

Godlike, love this universe!

First of all, don't waste your time with other games in the franchise 2, 3 and Genesis, the story only progresses in this one.

Let's go to the analysis of someone who finished it:

It copies many elements from the God of War games, like a patchwork quilt. It only stands out well in the art design. It tries to inflate the campaign time and reuse through metroidvania and puzzles, some of which are terrible and poorly implemented. Don't feel guilty about watching tutorials or videos to complete the game. In fact, it's your duty to do so, because the game design cheats you all the time.

Enemy hitboxes are awful, making dodging a torment instead of a pleasurable mechanic to master. Combined with the camera that leaves you in trouble at various points in the battles, it's a recipe for frustration.

In the last two hours of the campaign, there is a huge inflation of the story through entire puzzle maps. Breaking the entire hack and slash experience of the game.

The mechanics for upgrading equipment and skills are shallow and without real value; I would never grind to get all the schemes maxed out. In practice, the only item you should spend points on is the sword; just ignore everything else.

The only thing the game does well is the mounted riding and combat experience.
