My journey was 85 hours
My favourite game ever fr, gonna stay with me forever I think, and I wonder how I will look back on it with time, I think it’s just magical, it taught me so much and shaped my approach to life, in a way that I don’t think I could accurately get across, this is a core part of my experience so far, I won’t forget it and I wanna play it over and over, I don’t wanna be without the feeling this game gives me, it’s bigger than what it is on the surface, more than a game to me, it’s philosophical, it’s defining. Masterpiece of art

After a few shots trying New Vegas and not getting far, FO4's gameplay actually got me fully immersed and invested into the Fallout world. Despite its story being underwhelming in many aspects, I still got a few kicks out of it. The role-playing is weak but the draw to me was the world and customisation of weapons - very simple pleasures. Yet to play the DLC though.
After finishing God of War 2018, I decided that I should play through the original trilogy before tackling Ragnarok, although I am loosely aware of its story, since I watched a summary before playing 2018.
So to start with the simplest element of this game, we have the story. By no means does simple mean bad here, the story was a breath of fresh air as gameplay truly enhanced it, the cutscenes did not have to do all the work as I feel is much more common in modern games. Kratos' backstory is periodically fed to you throughout the game and each revelation is tantalising - he is a character with depth beneath the surface. The plot appropriately resembles a Greek myth in structure, with the hero going from one obstacle to the next with increasing threats to triumph by the end.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that "2018" is a jack of all trades yet master of none (although its narrative is admittedly its strongest suit), not a dig here, since it does what it does to a great level. This is in contrast to the original, where I feel combat is the main appeal. The combat is difficult (more so than I was expecting), requiring strategy with the variety of moves in your arsenal and great deal of focus - kind of like Dar...
Ahem.
This game will have you saying "fuck", "what the fuck was that?" "HOW?!" and many more but god is it fun :)
This game has a long section where you'll be solving puzzles between combat encounters. So basically this game is like Zelda but instead of the puzzles being hard, its the combat. Yeah, the puzzles aren't too tricky but they were still fun to engage with.
May I also inform you that this game came out a week before Lego Star Wars and the similarities are jaw dropping. But seriously, I find hack and slash to be a strange genre to define, its quite a vague descriptor but so is action adventure or RPG. Basically is Lego Star Wars a hack and slash? You won't find it on any all-time-greats list, but God of War or one of its sequels is a sure bet to be featured and it seems to be for good reason - this is a fantastic game, yet I see the potential for it to be built upon, which is super exciting.
p.s. PCSX2 is a great way to play, get the nightly build, get HD textures, play in widescreen (with widescreen fixes too) with progressive scan on.
