Finally beat the game today, and honestly I'm glad I took the time to sit down and beat this classic in all it's glory with the PS5 performance patch. The game is a dramatic departure from the past games when it comes to story-telling, gear and upgrades. It takes on a more serious tone but without losing that trademark, badass trademark God of War combat.
The world is entirely open, but not in the classic "Ubisoft" bad way. The world is teeming with people with real issues to solve, tragic tales to unwind and dragons to free. The game also sports absolutely stunning visuals and scenes, with varied environments and a very robust new game+ that allows you to take Kratos with his current gear and abilities into a fresh save.
The game is definitely up there with Sifu when it comes to games that really nailed the "action" I was looking for in a game. This game of course is far more ambitious and had hundreds of people working on it, but I thought it was worth mentioning that while the game is lauded for taking GoW in a new, solemn direction it is just as badass as the rest of the games. It's also the best one in the series.
