Good
- the animations and cinematics were phenomenal. The finisher animations were nothing but brutal and satisfying to execute. It really made me feel Krato's blood lust and anger.
- Kratos was a relatable character to me. His struggles with self-forgiveness and his journey for redemption in a way reflects my own past and my inability to forgive myself for some things in my distant past. So in a way, this game taught me something important. To move on.
- the weapons are very cool. I like how they each have different dodge animations.
- the new abilities were creative as well, like hermes boots. The way Kratos killed Icarus was crazy. In fact, every boss death animations was just so epic. The presentation is top notch.
- Kratos has a lot more character. The attention to his movements and expressions were deep.
Bad
- there were some awkward puzzles that weren't clear. There was one part where the climbing controls reversed as I climbed onto a perpendicular surface which caused my death.
- Some of the areas were huge, and the camera is zoomed way out. This made certain parts hard to see as I was fighting a horde or enemies, or trying to platform.
