Like I said some time ago, my PS4 came bundled with Uncharted 4, God of War and Gran Turismo Sport. I quickly dug into Uncharted 4, since I love the series. After I finished, I had already bought RE7...and then it goes. I had played a few races of Gt Sport, but GT doesn't know how to make the "racing" part of the simulation satisfying, so I ignored...
I also ignored God of War. I only played the first Ps2 games and although they were fun, I simply hated Kratos. He's a bad character. In a sense that he is vile. All that happened to him was his own fault. Even though everyone around him was an a******, he was just as much and sometimes even worse. I never cared about his journey or his goals and I played because the gameplay was fun. But then I grew out of the series and never came back.
Well, I decided, after finishing up FF7 Remake, to finally give God of War 2018 a spin and...it's good. Kratos isn't such a horrible, unlikeable character in this game. He's just boring. But BOY saves the story by...being part of it. I'm also enjoying the gameplay so far. It's not a super quick, full of combos hack'n slash like DMC or Castlevania Lords of Shadow and it's not slow and purely methodical like Dark Souls. It stands in the middle and I like it. It's fun, without having 3459045409 combos and combinations that not only you don't remember, but only 2 or 3 are useful (a lot of hack'n slash suffers from this problem). At any rate, for now, I'm enjoying. I still don't care too much for Kratos, but I want to see the end of the journey, because i want to help BOY. Also, Norse mythology is cool so...that's a plus too.
I'll give my final impressions when I finish the game.
