Looks cool but it's not my thing. Dying every 3 minutes is not that fun but maybe it'll click someday.
Edit: So I played a bit of this because I was bored and it was somehow kind of addicting. It's still bullshit sometimes but it's best moments are worth having.

it's fun.
Crash 1: 6-7/10
Crash 1 is an asshole.
Crash 2: 8/10
Good fun without becoming overtly frustrating.
Crash 3: Still Playing

It's still some good cheeky fun. It has the standard Lego shenanigans with the jokes and the tone. It's not hard by any means but it was a good time speeding through the levels.

Fun way to workout

A lot of fun to play this game but it's not perfect. Some characters can get really annoying at times (Morgana) and sometimes it's full of filler dialogue. The combat is fun and the palaces are great.
Favorite Missions:
Chapter 1: Outlaws from the West and Old Friends.
Chapter 2: Who is Not without Sin and Blessed are the Meek.
Chapter 3: Sodom? Back to Gommorah and A Short Walk in a Pretty Town
Chapter 4: Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten and Horsemen, Apocalypses
Chapter 5: Hell Hath No Fury and Paradise Mercifully Departed
Chapter 6: Archaeology for Beginners and Red Dead Redemption
Epilogue 1: Jim Milton Rides, Again?
Epilogue 2: American Venom
First Impressions: 6>5>3>2>1>4>E2>E1

This would've been a pretty solid game if it wasn't for the shitty villain and cliche story. It all feels forced. The campaign is too short for it's price. The combat is fun but not enough to save a mediocre story.

I just opened the game after the long download and immediately suffered a glitch in the tutorial mission. Every time I moved it reset even if I did it correctly. I also had a glitch where the scan in the brain dance didn't work. The game has some short freezes and the occasional buggy animations but they aren't that bad. There were also times where a car would appear out of nowhere. The voice acting for V and Johnny Silverhand is kinda shit. Not convincing in the slightest. Some emotional or introspective scenes are ruined because of it. If it wasn't for the fun characters and great visuals I would've shelved this thing. The story is fairly engaging enough to make me forgive the glitches and the combat is fun even if the gun controls aren't great.
2017
The story is boring and not really funny and the combat is a slow clunky button masher which kills you're interest completely. This feels like they were on a deadline making this because of the lack of variety in the enemies to the cheap cutscenes. Using XLR8 was fun because it killed the enemies faster and wasted my time less. This was bad.

It's does a lot of things better than the last title but also some worse. This game has a much more bigger scale, so there's more things to fuck up. Thankfully this game is pretty great.
The visuals are quite beautiful. Many scenes feel like a full-fledged movie. One of my problems with GOW (2018) is the lack of variety with the side bosses. It kept spamming that stupid troll with the rock. This game cranks it up. The bosses feel much more fresh in my opinion. There's also some quality of life improvements which make the game more smoother. The story while not perfect is a good time. It fits in some great character development and worldbuilding.
Combat wise I prefer GOW (2018). It's a bit more satisfying to play but GOWR's combat is still fun. I enjoy the story but I can't help but feel that the game should've been split into two games. Some parts are too short (Ragnarok) while others are too long (Ironwood segment). The PS4 version has some weird bugs that break immersion but are quite small in the grand scheme of this game.

A frustratingly inconsistent experience. There is some great moments and there are some frustratingly boring or annoying moments as well.
