Unfortunately, the new GoW fails. Of course, it's still a good game that seduces with one-shot narration, and during the fight scenes it can provide a real epic and monumental feast. Kratos is still absolute GOAT, and Bear McCreary creates a fantastic soundtrack again. In addition, the game is nice, and the action itself is efficient and quite nicely using the possibilities of Ragnarok and the mythology of Loki. In addition, he gives us a successful plot twist, and the finale is satisfying. But..

Everything seems to be fine, exactly as it should be, but on the other hand there is no freshness, something new. And this is where some repetition creeps in. A lot of mechanics or these puzzles (eh) quickly become irritating and boring. The story itself is also not as engaging as in the first part. It can be boring, and I personally just don't like the Atreus plot and each time I wanted to go through it as soon as possible to play Kratos again. Plus, we were promised Ragnarok, upping the ante, and even more epic, and it's so mediocre. Apart from the final itself, to be honest, I was a bit lacking in effectiveness in the fights. And the mechanics themselves can be overcomplicated. So much of it all here, and it could be simpler, but with more bullshit.

Also a game worth playing. There are a few cooler boss fights and some settings have a really good atmosphere, but the plot fails a bit, and the gameplay (surprisingly) can tire with repetition and overcomplicating.
