Playtime: 5h
Completion: 69% (most from playing the game. I have never been a fan of classic GOW platinums because they reduce the reaction times for QT events and sometimes its just frustrating to keep missing things by a few 100ms. I also played on PS Now, so I think my internet lag contributes to some of this.)
Platform: PS5 + PS Now. Overall very responsive. Played on normal difficulty.
In my quest to play all the classic series of GOW, it was time to hit the expansions. This is by far the worst gow game and even for a die hard fan like me it was a just a very avg/fair game. They removed everything that reminds me of what a GOW game is and delivered this. Apart from Kratos, I couldn't find anything GOW about this game. Where is the epic music, the epic battles, the cutscenes, the camera angles, the sense of scope? The story is all over the place and also doesn't add anything to the actual canon.
Being on PSP the graphics were fairly poor as well so that further took me out of the game too.
Overall its an ok game play it if your a fan otherwise skip it. Its just a very generic hack and slash game and they never sat down to say what is the DNA of a GOW game and how do we bring that here. It feels like they told some studio make a hack and slash game and put Kratos in it. And that's what you get. Very average middle of the road game with no risks or real creativity.
