I was like you until recently. Now that I played through it, I can say that I don't understand why people like the story so much. All the characters are annoying, the conflict feels incredibly forced at all times, and the ending didn't pay any of it off for me. I enjoyed the gameplay itself, it's fun mixing and matching the different God boons and weapons. But overall I think it's just an alright game - it was worth playing for me because I didn't have to pay for it
