the biggest departures from other D&D games is just how active a role gods play within Theros. [...] I particularly love the way the book incorporates the flavor of the gods themselves in their individual chapters, including examples of myths the folk of Theros might have about them. [...] If you’ve got the time to invest and a group willing to look over a new setting, Theros offers a unique D&D experience that allows for a break from the type of story without having to learn another gaming system, and it’s a vibrant and exciting setting that is definitely worth a look". Simon Yule, for GeekDad, wrote "Fans of Magic The Gathering will recognize this new setting, as Mythic Odysseys of Theros comes straight from WotC’s other main product line. And, like the accidental second child of an already stretched and loveless marriage, D&D fans will have to put up with some of Magic‘s oversized hand-me-downs. But don’t worry: those slightly worn-out jeans and unwanted, stained Converse All-Stars can find a new lease of life as second hand treasure". Yule highlighted that the sourcebook includes 50 pages of new monsters including new Mythic level monsters that add "a brand new mechanic to help DMs keep their players guessing. Each of these creatures has Mythic Traits and Actions which the Dungeon Master can use to ramp up the difficulty and really hammer home the sense of a truly terrifying and world-ending threat". Yule also highlighted that the sourcebook adds new player races and reprints some races, however, "in Theros they have their own unique traits, abilities, and characteristics that distinguish them from their Forgotten Realms counterparts".
