Critic Reviews for Stray Gods: Orpheus
Play as Orpheus in his musical quest for self-discovery in this DLC follow-up to Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
Stray Gods – Orpheus from developer Summerfall Studios falls short of the original game Stray Gods. The DLC is a shorter game that contains a more compact and less meaningful narrative, while still featuring great music and wonderful gameplay elements like the original release. If you accept those terms, you might like Stray Gods – Orpheus.
The original did feel like it offered a bit more player agency via things like a map interface and the initial choice of a personality trait for Grace, and the romantic conversation options don't lead to anything nearly as fleshed out. However, Orpheus is about one-third the length and price of the original, making it a more-than-worthwhile pursuit for fans of the first installment, particularly considering the replay value. Orpheus is very much a different sort of story than Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, but it continues the stellar writing and musicality in a brilliant new way.
Stray Gods: Orpheus is an interesting way to revisit the Icons universe for people who fell in love with the base game. However, the additional content is unfortunately content to be a small and insignificant addition to the experience as a whole.
