Here we go. I don’t see the hype. The story is, kind of a mess for me. It starts off really strong, but the pacing is just, god awful. Splitting up the game into two parts with Ellie and Abby isn’t a bad idea, but it’s done in such a weird way. Having flashbacks in the middle of your chapters while shit is happening is not something you should be doing, I know they’re there for a specific purpose, but they could’ve been done way better. Personally, if the game was told in, mostly, chronological order, I think it would benefit greatly. The last act of the game pisses me off so much. The game should’ve been 2 hours shorter imo, I don’t hate the ending like a lot of people, I’m okay with Abby living, I just don’t like how it came to that conclusion. She should’ve had this same finality hours ago but the game apparently needed to keep going. Combats fun tho. :)

Oh boy. I wanted this game to be better than the first so bad, and after finishing it, I convince myself that it was. But now, I don’t think so. There’s just too many problems that I have with it to justify it. The story is shorter, there’s less to do in the world, which is crazy since they made the map bigger, but they didn’t add more things to do in it. The swinging and combat are definitely better and if I do just want to sit down and swing around the city, I’ll boot up this one over the others. This is unfortunately a 3/4 baked game, and it rears its ugly head in the third act, where the story just arguably matters the most, and they fumble it hard. There’s still good moments don’t get me wrong, but the pacing, the writing, everything takes a nose dive, it’s crazy. There’s obviously so much that was left on the cutting room floor, they should’ve delayed it another 6 months and it would’ve been perfect. There’s also so many features missing on launch, that have been added now in the recent update, but, having those features not be added with the base game, when they’re in the other two games is so fucking wild it’s unbelievable. The game is still good, it has a lot of highs, but some big lows that just bring it down past the first one for me.

This is peak right here. They around upon pretty much everything from the previous game. Better story, new combat moves, plus new weapon, more character development, which I’m always a sucker for. There is literally one thing I didn’t like about the game and that’s the Atreus sections. They aren’t bad by any means, but they bring the pacing down so much and his combat isn’t as engaging to keep interested too long. Most of his sections aren’t too long so you can kinda get through fairly easily, except for his first one. That shit is over 2 hours long and it’s such a slog to get through, that’s the only real low point in this otherwise amazing game.

I’ve always heard about how good this game is, and I’ve always been like, it can’t be THAT good, I was wrong, it definitely is that good. I’ve always preferred Greek myths over Norse myths cuz that’s just what I knew more growing up, these games changed that for me. Norse shit is so fucking badass and I love it. It does a really good job at movies Kratos into this setting, and as someone not from this world, like us the player, it does a great job at introducing to him as well as us. As much as I like hack and slash gameplay, this gameplay really hooked me, it’s not as like, in depth with moves and combos you can do, but it’s still so engaging with what is has that it never went stale for me. Definitely prefer these god of war games to the ogs.

Meh, I feel like this is the one to skip if you’re gonna skip a game. It’s definitely not needed. It’s a prequel to the first game, and it’s literally never mentioned ever again, lmao. At this point, the formula was getting a little stale, as this was the 6th game they’ve made so far, and it definitely started to show. The story is, okay, I guess, and the combat is actually a little bare bones compared to the other games. It’s still enjoyable for the most part but don’t feel compelled to play it.
