I'm not that far in(I'm in the other plane), but this is the most fun I had with a game in a long time. Only thing I'd change is to have a way for Atreus to shoot by himself. I'll completely forget that he even exists when the action gets super hectic.

So does it get even better or what? Also, no spoilers pls.

tbh, the story looks great, but what I've seen of the game mechanics doesn't really thrill me. Was never super into the GoW fights against human-sized bosses because the fights rarely felt epic. (Hercules notwithstanding, since he kept wrecking the stage.)

So, here's my deal. I bought it at launch, played it through the night and returned it, the very next morning.

I enjoyed the story, I just didn't like the combat and found the game rather boring. I'm starting to hate the way Sony makes their exclusives, because it's all just based on The LOU' template. Cinematic and narrative driven and the combat and gameplay mechanics are mediocre and boring.

I ended up watching that super cut of the cutscenes on Youtube because I did care about the story and found that to be the best part of the game.

I disagree with InhumaneRaider. I thought the combat was fantastic. I liked being able to parry and block, counterattack, use Atreus' various abilities, and the Runic attacks are amazing and brutal. I felt like I could button mash my way through the old games, but this new one felt like I needed a bit more patience and planning. Most of the game wasn't all that difficult, save for a few of those Valkyries, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game. My second favorite game on the PS4, behind Bloodborne.

I really hated the end game spoilers. It was so bad that it nearly ruined the whole game for me. I won't say what it is since the TC just started, but most people will probably know what I am talking about since it was pretty controversial.

Gotta say, I enjoy the combat here much more than the spamfest that was the old God of War games. They were enjoyable as stress relievers, but I'd rather play DW games for that.

Id say it gets a lot better but i personally didnt care too much for the combat until a certain point. Getting the chain blades being that point.

Though it was also very disappointing to me how few gods you actually fought. But even only having played 3 prior to this its clear the originals were like that as well so guess its to be expected.

Am looking forward to future games though. Especially if they go through the idea about doing one for the Egyptian gods.

Eh i wouldnt if youre big on avoiding spoilers. While the second point is probably expected as you seem to have played the past games it still seems significantly spoilery to me all things considered.

First point you actually might already know about but it should be immediately obvious when you get there though so no need to risk reading really.

Its the most generic copy-paste 3rd person action game template you can image from any modern AAA studio.

The story, design, and production quality are the only things of note about the game, and it plays completely different than any of the previous games.

It couldve been its own new game. There is nothing GoW about it aside from the names and kratos looking like kratos.

While it's not like previous God of War games gameplay wise the game is very good and it will likely be one of the forerunners for the Game of the Year awards.
