Okay so this is gonna be controversial but I really don't like this game too much. It's decent but I honestly believe it's not necessary to experience this. Its status as a "modern masterpiece" is crazy to me. The story is as basic as it gets and really only succeeds at points few and far between. Trying to implement very barebones rpg mechanics was more annoying than anything else and it felt forced to a point where I disliked it quite a lot. The characters are decent if not a bit too cliché for their own good. I really can't get behind the hype for Kratos and his supposed "character development". The combat is pretty neat however it also feels a bit clunky at times and just like the rpg elements the lack of variety annoyed me a lot. I did quite enjoy the spectacle and the cutscenes and I love the presentation of this game. Generally a good play even if forgettable and sometimes annoying
