Incredible narrative single player experience. Sometimes all I want in a game is a straightforward cinematic story with decent enough 3rd person adventure/action gameplay. God of War ticks both of those boxes with ease, I was completely immersed in it’s incredible story and world.

I played the PS2 games as a kid and I don’t have much recollection of them besides: “bad-ass guy kills greek gods and there’s blood and boobs and shit”. So I never really saw this saga as a prime example of storytelling, but man this definitely took the series in an amazing and more mature direction while keeping and paying homage to the PS2 games. I love the whole Kratos is a now a broken man shtick, I could hear him talk with Atreus all day.

Gameplay-wise it’s pretty straightforward and there were some challenging bosses as well. Nothing mindblowing to be honest, but very entertaining.

Can’t wait to play Ragnarok once it comes out on PC!
