* Got to the fire sacrifice thing. Bro Kratos' redemption in Valhalla was such a good payoff for this scene.
* Pandora's Box done. Kinda hate how there's no clear indication where to go sometimes not because I get lost but I missed out on some optional paths because I accidentally went the right one (The one with giant flaming rocks).
* Armored Minotaur boss was sick af
* Damn Kratos' backstory is tragic and amazing
* Got to hell. Damn this game is longer than I thought
* Ares beaten. What a game. Kratos is pretty layered, which surprised me. When God of War (2018) came out, one of the biggest takeaway from most people was "Kratos has a deep character now. He's not just angry man" and that stuck I guess. I didn't remember or expect the layers he had in this game alone. Can't wait to play the rest!
Best
Character: Kratos/Boat Captain. One is deeply layered and well-written, the other is funny af.
Weapon: Blades of Chaos. Iconic and was fun from start to finish.
Ability: Poseidon's Rage/Army of Hades. Both helped me out so much in many situations. Also AOE rules.
Enemy: Cerberus. Been a fan of Cerberus in any greek myth games. Its not hard but I like fighting it.
Boss Fight: Armored Minotaur. While it took a while to figure out there's stairs at the back, it was everything a God of War boss needs to be. Awesome spectacle, puzzle elements, and a gruesome finish. Great all around.
Moment: Gameplay-wise the intro with the Hydra. Story-wise it's Kratos' past being revealed and his grief/suffering through it.
Worst
Character: None. They're all great or at least serviceable. If I have to pick one, maybe that lady who runs from you and fell the balcony.
Weapon: Well there's only 2 so I guess the Blade of Artemis (It's fun at the start tho)
Ability: Medusa's Gaze. Barely used it and when I do use it, enemies just doesn't stay frozen for long. Killing them is faster.
Enemy: Gold-armored undead soldiers. Not difficult since their attacks are easily telegraphed but waaay too aggressive and annoying. Not fun to fight.
Boss Fight: Medusa. Just unmemorable.
Moment: That one section in the intro where you have to push a box while a legion of archers rain arrows down on you. Took me 30 minutes to get through. NOT FUN AT ALL.

Friend bragged that he saw boobs in a video game. My horny 10-y.o ass was jealous so I begged my dad to buy this game. Saw the boobs, was very satisfied and a fan since. I remember playing until the end and got a weird bug where Ares will NOT stand up so I didn't finish it
