[SPOILERS] Have been playing through God of War on my PS5 the past couple days. I am in total awe of it so far. Some things that are really standing out so far, as I just reached the top of the mountain in Midgard only to find out we need to head to an entirely different mountain - then chopped the dude's head off who let us know that at his request. Don't worry, we're going to try to bring his head back to life!

The combat is incredibly fun and challenging, and I really like the RPG aspects implemented that lets you customize Kratos to your liking.

Put a lot more time into God of War because I've been so impressed by the quality of the game. When it first released for PS4, I was so disappointed that it ran at 30fps after enjoying Gow3 Remastered in 60fps. Finally, the PS5 patch arrived and we can enjoy the game in all it's glory.

I am personally fortunate enough to be playing the game on PS5 on a 4K HDR TV and the game is simply stunning. The combat is perfect, with you having a badass Leviathan Axe with the option (and often need based on enemy type) to go bare handed combat as well.

I don't know how, but I don't think a game has combined this much "badassery" with so much feels. The game's story is hard yet soft, always playing out but not in your face. Especially if you take the time to explore.

Can't recommend enough.

Decided to play God of War when the GF was playing something on the computer and I have FFVII Remake on hold. I can't say that I'm too sad about it though, because somehow the team behind GoW have managed to combine the badass, the feels and tight fast paced gameplay all in one.

To be completely fair I must state that I am playing the game on the PS5 upgrade patch, I find it very difficult to play games below 60fps so I really am appreciating the upgrade patch. May do Horizon Zero Dawn after this.
