First I want to say that this was kind of a trial run for Sony's game streaming service for me. When I got my PS5, I made the stupid decision to get the highest tier of PS+, and now six months later I feel like I need to justify that somehow. It actually worked pretty well, all things considered. There were a few times the game slowed down and one time it closed itself because I left it running for too long in the background, but it generally felt pretty good and seemed to play well. This was my first time playing through God of War, so maybe there was some input lag I didn't notice, but I was able to beat the game on hard without too much difficulty so I kind of doubt that there was. I don't think I'd ever use it for a game that I could actually play off of my own hardware, but for something like this it was fine. As for the game itself, it was pretty cool. There were a few annoying platforming bits and I really didn't like how the exact same enemy would respawn 2-3 times in each encounter once you beat it, but the core gameplay was really fun and the plot was surprisingly solid in the Greek tragedy "hero consumed by a fatal flaw and wronged by the gods" kind of way. I do wish it had more bosses, though.

It's also really funny that this game has both a "press O to sex" and "press O to hug your dead family" QTE in it.
