How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (OpenCritic) | – | 70 | 39 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 78% | 72 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 70 | 19 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 84% | 78 | 793 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“"I'd rather play this than break my Achilles tendon."”

“Achilles: Legends Untold does a fantastic job of working with the legend of Achilles and seamlessly integrating it into an isometric, Souls-like RPG. The graphics are appealing, the story is engaging and keeps you hooked, and at the same time, the game gives you the freedom to explore beautiful locations and enjoy battles against mythological creatures. The variety of enemies is truly diverse, as is the range of weapons and equipment. It’s a real shame there’s no map in the game, because the locations are very well-designed with seamless transitions, but wandering around blindly just isn’t the same. But if you use the hint to tell you which way to go while completing a quest, you’ll miss out on a lot of fun and great battles. You can tell the game is in early access, as there are a few technical bugs and occasionally some odd AI behavior, mostly with weaker enemies. Mythological creatures and bosses behave as expected and in line with their nature, and they are really well-designed. Given that the developers are very active and communicate with the community, they fix reported issues very quickly while also adding new content. The game will definitely entertain fans of solid Souls-style RPGs as well as lovers of mythology.”

“Achilles: Legend Untold is a great narrative of Greek mythology, but its gameplay dynamics contradict an ARPG’s.”

“Although with fantastic visuals and a very much promising setting, “Achilles: Legends Untold” stumbles hard to fulfill its ambitions due to a very slow and clunky combat system.”

“While most of the elements are in place for something more grand, clunky combat and washed out visuals fall short of greatness”

“Achilles: Legends Untold feels like a mixture of Diablo and Dark Souls. Despite showing great potential the mechanics fail to work properly especially in crowded battles. Content wise the game is a bit hit and miss too where it offers variety of weapons and items but lacks when it comes to upgrades, special abilities or side quests. Overall, Achilles: Legends Untold is not a perfect or great game but still Action RPG lovers might enjoy its 20 hours long story.”

“Achilles: Legends Untold is a functional isometric souls-like that plays well enough and has plenty of territory to explore but falls short in its Switch port. It isn't completely unenjoyable by any means and mechanically it is quite solid. But ultimately through the combination of a rough Switch port, poor voice acting, and a general struggle to do anything that stands out, it winds up being a forgettable journey.”

“Overall Achilles: Legends Untold is a very enjoyable and short adventure that will give a satisfying dose to both Diablo die-hards and those who want to try something different, but at the same time familiar.”

“Achilles Legends Untold is a game that is brimming with the potential to be an incredible action RPG. However, in its current state, it is a game featuring a poor story, mediocre combat, and a bland empty world in conjunction with a litany of bugs that make the game more tedious than it should be.”

“Achilles: Legends Untold didn't set out to reinvent the wheel and go for the less risky approach by emulating previous successes, in which it succeeded, to a degree.”

“A pleasant surprise. It's not usual action RPG, it's a nice fusion of two genres that we could briefly describe as Diablo with Souls elements. It works, it's fun, it has style.”

“The Greek Myths have been plundered by video game developers to such a degree it's hard to conceive that a fresh take could be even possible. Remarkably, Achilles: Legends Untold offers just that. This action-adventure might be a little rough around the edges, but that arguably adds to its charm. If you can put up with some nasty difficulty spikes then you'll find a remarkable world of myths and legends to explore.”
