The story has received strong recommendations, with players eagerly anticipating a third installment that is expected to focus on Zeus, following the narratives of Poseidon and Hades.

“The best way for me to procrastinate and forget that the game is running, because how else will you get that 1500 minutes (25 hours) of gameplay?”
