God of War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yo2UFi6IQo" data-time=" Ive never really considered the God of War franchise to be anything but middle tier in the character action genre below the likes of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden. The controls never felt great but I enjoyed Kratos being a loud and angry murderer of the greek pantheon. When I saw the new one was going to a new take on the series with a much older Kratos and his son and taking place in Norse mythology instead of Greek I was intrigued. It was so different that into the leadup to the release I was unsure how the game would even play and if it was actually a reboot and not the same Kratos from those old games. What we got ended up getting was a game that mostly shed everything about those old games in favor of what to me was essentially a 3D metroid style game with Dark Souls combat. And while they tried to hide a bit in the beginning, this is definitely the same Kratos in all his glory, but now he has a boy and he cant win every fight with his fists. He sometimes needs to use WORDS and FEELINGS and PARENTING....things I have no experience with! Still it made Kratos become an actual super compelling character and I was rooting for him the whole way to overcome everything that was thrown his way. Atreus (Boy) is also a good new character save for the middle arc where hes a 10 year old with god powers and abuses it like someone in his position would. And of course they throw all the big plot twists in at the end so that youre wanting the sequel sooner rather than later The game uses a cinematic style where the camera never cuts away so you always feel like youre in the action. I think the video I provided highlights that with your first fight with Baldur early on in the game. Before that the game is very slow and plodding just going down linear areas with Boy teaching him how to be a man, then you get back home and this happens. Feels like a straight up DBZ fight once it gets going. The rest of the game goes from there opening up into an ocarina of time style hub area exploring every corner and finding upgrades that will let you progress through other areas with lots of backtracking and whatnot. Definitely the best God of War game and I wouldnt mind a few more in this style. --- https://imgur.com/LhGP5E6 https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/CaptainRockman.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:914898422] in SHINE's To...
