Should you play it?

Armed with God-given powers, the revived tribune Adrestia is given a second chance to save the universe from her maniacal twin sister. Find secrets, acquire upgrades, and dominate mighty foes through sheer combat prowess as you explore and conquer the horrors of the forsaken vessel Atromitos.

What works

  • Unique blend of greek mythology and sci-fi setting
  • Engaging exploration with verticality and secrets
  • Fluid and satisfying traversal mechanics
  • Challenging but fair combat with parry system
  • Excellent art direction, lighting, and sound design

Things to keep in mind

  • Fast travel system initially convoluted (improved by patches)
  • Limited enemy variety and repetitive combat
  • Some platforming sections frustratingly precise
  • Story presentation can be confusing or opaque
  • Short game length and some endgame padding

How to use the graph

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the game’s motivation profile. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).
