A fun-quirky platformer featuring my two favourite animals on earth as protagonists. It’s a classic, Mario like platformer with its own twist. Definitely a game that’s considered a laid back experience that has the foundations to become challenging at times, something you can boot and play carelessly right away. Love the animations, the upbeat music, the level design-albeit basic in the demo-seems interesting, and the combinations of the characters are pretty interesting and wholeheartedly cute. Hopefully the full release does a tad more to enhance the experience further, but not over complicate it as that’s the norm in recent games (sometimes simple is better-which is the case here). Cannot wait to have loads of fun in this game once the complete package releases.

One of the most beautiful games to look at, immense pixel-art, a strong soundtrack and an interesting story. I believe the game would have slightly benefitted off of some basic voice acting-something like grunts or mild sounds to enhance the experience. Interesting characters, great setting-thing is, as as many other people in here, I did not ''get'' the ending. It is pretty random, it does not feel ''rushed'' to me-perhaps only lackluster. I am not aware if theres a sequel to this specific entry but if it is, the ending totally made me want to give it a go. Overall a pretty chill game to hop on and off of, with a short time to beat and a plethora of dialogue choices that help you get a grip of its mysteries.

Having not played any of the GOW games in the past-ive only seen reviews raving about this game, however I lowered my expectations going into it since I do not like these type of games, typically. I am in position to say that this has been an excellent play. The story itself is pretty decent, deep at times but the development of the characters throughout the journey is very nice. Satisfying combat, challenging bosses, loot EVERYWHERE, beautiful environments and excellent weapon choices. The axe is a very diverse and useful weapon, and the skills are not present just to be there. Easy to perform and hard to master, I really liked the fact that the skills were effective and there wasnt a long combo-process which allowed me to jump back into the game after not having played for a while. Later on with the introduction of the blades, the story and the combat get spici-er?. I really loved the companions in the game, Atreus, although not the most useful at the start, turns pivotal to your encounters with some upgrades. Keep in mind that Atreus will ask a LOT and I mean a lot of questions, lol, most of the time it was things that i was also interested to know. Mimir is my favourite companion tho, no unnecessary fill-in small talk and funny at times, helps move the story-on delightfully too. Cant forget about the dwarves! Frequent visits to their shops are advised! Overall, this game has stunning environments, great combat, good story-telling (not to mention the unbeatable soundtrack), interesting puzzles, a good upgrade system, a variety of bosses and other encounters (f* the Valkyries btw took me DAYSSS to get past one or two), fun gameplay in general and it left me with a desire to play the next entry in the series in the future.
