Just beat the game and oh wow...it's the first time in possibly a decade I haven't found the score to be unjustified. From Bloodborne to Uncharted, hell even The Witcher 3, I found these games were getting too much praise but for God of War I think it might just be justified.
The game doesn't appear to have any obvious shortcomings. You may argue some games have better combat mechanics or stories but it's above average in practically everything. Storytelling, graphics, sound design, content, length, variety, combat, replay value, voice acting...the only thing I can criticize is at times, the storytelling gets too much into the way of the gameplay. A minor complaint nonetheless.
People complained about BOTW's thin story, barren world and weapon mechanics. They complained about Uncharted 4's overuse of climbing and pacing. Witcher 3 has weak combat and so on...
For those who have played and beat it, any major complaints you have?
