I still have to get the platinum but man, WHAT A GAME.
I never was a God of War guy growing up, so I had no previous attachment to Kratos and still they made me care so much for this flawed but loving father.
The gameplay is fun and intuitive, the places you go to are breathtaking and the story is cinematic and heartfelt.
The exploration is limited as it is not an open world, but I much prefer a world like this one that is self contained but has a lot of character and love put into it.
