Brilliant game that exceeded my expectations. The combat is fun and the game has great writing with emotional and realistic depictions of the theme of family. The lore is so damn good and the switch to Norse mythology makes the series feel fresh again.
I remember booting this game up when it was first put out on PS Plus part of the monthly games. I never got past the beginning scene where you fight some enemies outside of Kratos' home and deleted right after that. It wasn't until a good few years later when I got my PS5 which was bundled up with Ragnarök. When I first got it set up, one of the few games I told myself to play and get through on said PS5 was this very game. It was such a great game. The music just added to this experience. Every time the main theme would play when someone brings up his past or when he gets ready to fight, it gives me goosebumps and I hype myself to defeat enemies. One particular scene stuck out to me from this game which is when Kratos retrieves his blades. One of the best/top 5 moments from gaming I have experiences. The portrayal of an older, wiser Kratos was a great move from Santa Monica. I don't know why I didn't complete this game earlier.
não me surpreendeu tanto quanto eu achei que me surpreenderia, mas é de fato um jogo muito bom (roubou o goty).
Cannot understand the praise for this game. The gameplay is just so slow and boring. Which is a shame since the story was at least somewhat interesting, but in the end I couldn't sit through Over the Shoulder Walking Simulator 46. The old hack n slash games were better imo but it doesn't seem like they'll ever go back seeing as how the reception and sales for GOW and Ragnarok were very good.
