I already tried to play God of War once, but dropped it quickly. It is clearly well made, but because of how well made it is it also feels slightly boring and sterile. Still, I’m glad they decided not to milk the Ancient Greece until the very end.
It’s a completely different game from the PS3 era, both in tone and mechanics. Some enemies are immune to your axe, so you have to stun them barehanded, then finish them off. I was also surprised that Kratos can die from a single blow, until I understood there is a level system, similar to looter/shooters. No matter how good you are at slashers, higher level enemies will be trouble.
Half of the time you spend solving “puzzles”, instead of beating enemies. Not like it’s a bad thing. Just different.
