Rise of the Argonauts

Rise of the Argonauts is an heavy story focued game with a small inspiration of God of War and simluar games with its fighting sections, the game gets better the more far you go into the game: Pros: + great story if you like anything medival or simular stuff (you can talk to people and also have different dialoges choices for a little bit more freedom and can also talk about different topics, the good thing is this games story really makes you feel like a king all the characters have personality the main ones. there are also a few side quests for extra points that you can use for your god skill tree or you get a weapon/armor. Every city has its own storyline behind it) + combat is simple rpg but fun a few unsmooth moments here and there but it actually works fully soild (God of War style with a few finishers but nothing spectacular) + you can carry 3 weapons at the same time, do combos changing weapons on the go + graphics are great for its time + all 6 worlds look and feels a little unique and have its own unique style + you can choice different teammates to go with you which is neat (theres also moments where you also can fight alone if you want) + skill tree is good and its ui style specially the menu is great + some moments here and there feels cinematic with its music + voice acting is good + enemies are fun to fight, the boss fights at the other hand they are ok + the neat thing are the little dialogues between NPCs are cool, you learn a lot by listening to them you dont have to talk to them just walk past, theres a lot of life in this game not a lot of games do that in this style Cons: - looks and feels like a console port like bad shadows and not very clean looking (with the config ini. file you can change a lot of these things and make them better) - story and its dialoges choices and talk to people is great but the problem is the character animation feels pretty stiff there are a few scenes that look arlight but mostly its just the typical stiff pose stuff - random crashes during gameplay (i had found a way to go away the crash completly with a dinput8.dll file put into the games order) - the beginning is a little weak (i mean the intro stuff was good) but after that you go outside of the palace to explore lolcus kingdom and walk around in empty places it wasnt really that great and 2nd world Myceane was a lot of walking back and forth, dont get me wrong the story was good there but gameplay wise it was meh. After the 2nd world the game is really enjoyable) - a lot of dialoges have bad sound quality (maybe 30% of them) Game feels a little unique for sure, The beginning is more peaceful and less hack and slash gameplay and more story talk compared to during the end when its all more very serious action packed even with its story. If you expect to find a lot of fighting hack and slash gameplay this game wouldnt be really for you! If you can enjoy a rich story game (30% gameplay and 70% of talking/story stuff) then its worth a look!
