The game is a buggy mess, where physics sometimes don't work how they should and it crashes a lot. There's a workaround for the physics, at least, and the constant autosaves mean that crashes never cost you much, but still.
The worst part, though, is the writing, as you may have heard, and there's two things I want to mention here.
First, the humor... is actually my style of humor. I like the witty observations, and the Straight Man and Wise Guy dynamic between Zeus and Prometheus too. That said, it's still... not great. The writers felt like they had to have these two have something to say about everything. Some of it, especially the loading screen tips, comes off as idiotic non-sequiturs instead of real jokes. Also, it gets old fast. And I liked the humor! If you don't even like the humor to begin with, then I imagine you'll loathe every second of this game.
And then... the story. The biggest problem is that we're supposed to side with the gods against Typhon, but the game never gives a compelling reason why. Even if you've never heard the original myths and how depraved they are, the game will tell you what sort of people these are, and expects you to side with them anyway. Sure, they agree to change their ways by the end... but it never gives a compelling reason why I should support that either. I'd rather just see Kratos wipe them all out.
A Mediocre Zelda Wannabe
It's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild without weapon breakage, so yeah, it's fun. It's not great, though.
