I didn't have a bad time, but there are some problems that need to be pointed out.
Story is well written, and the development of the characters was good, but oh man oh man the pacing of it in the first half of the game was pretty slow. Also I don't like the fact that even in modern days, we still force you to walk for listening the dialogue.
Now apart from the story, the biggest part for me that I need to talk about. The gameplay.
First of all, it's in the era where we implement useless RPG mechanics in whatever franchise that didn't initially have them. It's annoying on higher difficulty that it also relies on that a lot, I don't play GoW for that part.
Also, even though it can be forgiven, I'm not fan of the camera. It's good for that cinematic experience, during exploration and such. But during combat ? I don't feel comfortable with it, its FOV is too close.
I didn't like the Crowd control either, ESPECIALLY with the first weapon, it gets a little bit better when you get a certain second weapon. But the gameplay along with the cam is just not that good for combat with more than 3 enemies, I mean yeah okay they have Atreus and the little arrows to yell at you when something is coming from behind, but that's just a lazy solution from the devs.
I'm a bit critic about the gameplay but it's not entirely bad, the feel of impact from the weapon and animations are really great.
