What if we had a game inspired by japanese action games, added a greek tragedy for its main story and then threw everything in the trash so menchild can larp as viking with the most barebone gameplay imaginable with "RPG elements"?
We'd get this entry in the God of War franchise.
There is no point to play this, just go play the old ones before Cory Barlog ruined everything.

God of War 2018 is an absolutely amazing game. I will admit, when I first started playing the game I did not enjoy it. I found the story to be great but the enemies were extremely tanky making combat a huge slog. While you may find this dumb I ended up switching my difficulty to easy so I could still enjoy the game. The story is absolutely amazing and my favorite part of the game. The characters were fantastic and kratos is an all time goat. I do enjoy the combat a lot especially on easy difficulty and there are some amazing bosses. But a lot of the gameplay and exploration is very bland and can be improved on.
Overall this game is fantastic and a huge recommend if you haven't played it already for some reason. 9/10

One of the best, if not the best, reboot in video game franchise history. Kratos feels so HUMAN in both his character and trauma as he explores what it means to grief while also facing his past as he learns to be a better father. I already loved the God of War franchise as it is, but Kratos and Atreus story genuinely brought tears to my eyes while making me feel connected to a story like never before. The world, its characters, the introduction of new characters such as the world serpent and the stranger. It was all done so elegantly well and executed perfectly. One of the best cinematic experiences you can play to this day. Please play this title.
Esse jogo me fez emocionalmente investido em uma franquia que sempre tive preguiça com sua história além da gameplay ser bem adaptada prós dias de hoje , porém infelizmente sinto que os elementos de RPG não traduzem bem no momento a momentos além da escolha narrativa do jogo não ter cortes ser interessante e impressionante faz com quê a história pareça se passar num único dia continuo o que tira um pouco minha imersão
"This game really caters to me. Norse mythology? Check. Incredible scenarios? Check. Goose-bump inducing soundtrack? Check (Bear McReary is fantastic). Grumpy, but ultimately badass protagonist? Pretty sure if you look that up in an encyclopedia, you'll see a picture of Kratos. Fun gameplay with plenty of cool weapons and abilities? Absolutely, didn't find much space to feel bored. All of this combined, results in a premium cinematic videogame experience with a story that ultimately pays off and leaves room for a sequel. It might not be the perfect game, but it was perfect to me."
There are games as Games and there are games as vehicles for stories and there are games that are meta.
This game is all three of those things, and while it teases things that simply do not matter til the sequel it succeeds in telling the story it wants to tell in a far more mature way than I expected.
Notably though there are too many reskins of boss enemies, and the puzzles vary from braindead to weirdly confusing.
Still gets my recomendation for Best Dad Game.
