Apotheon

Apotheon is an ancient greek themed metroidvania, in which you play as soldier rising against the olympian gods. So far so good. The game features a sort of unique minimalistic art style, not too different from the art found in the pots of old. There are quite a lot of secrets to find and the level design is pretty cool.

The combat though is pretty shit, as the hitboxes are terrible, and the way the thrusts work is seemingly random. At times it goes for stab, others for overhead attack, and i never understand why but it made the game frustrating. Its a very easy game considering everything they give to you, but because of the frustrating combat the fights can really prolong themselves. This is particularly agravating on boss fights, which tend to have extended health pools.

That said, its an enjoyable ride, despite its evident flaws. There are better metroidvanias out there, but there are also much worst ones.
