Is it still worth playing?
Loosely based on Greek mythology and set in ancient Greece, with vengeance as its central motif, this 2008 action adventure was made for the PlayStation Portable. The player is Kratos, a Spartan warrior serving the Olympian gods, who is guided by the goddess Athena to find the Sun God Helios. It is a third-person single-player game seen from a fixed camera, with combo-based combat, platforming and puzzle elements. Foes mostly come from Greek mythology, among them cyclopes, Gorgons, harpies and minotaurs. Platforming means climbing walls, jumping across chasms and swinging on ropes. Some puzzles are simple, such as moving a box to reach a pathway, while others are more complex. A combo-based fight against myths is still a clear reason to play on a handheld.
