Gow 2018 was a tour de force. An epic game. I'm 20 hours into ragnarok and it's just not quite there at all.
There's some great stuff but I am actually heartbroken it was a ps4 game and thinking of what this game could have been.
The boss fights have been brilliant and exciting but all the other combat just feels like I'm in a small bowl with enemies coming in packs of three or 4 total. Or the other arena is a small area at the bottom with a couple of bits you can swing across.
I actually miss the trolls. God of war has always had large enemies like cyclops etc but this game just has little small enemies in small packs fighting in bowls.
There is a lot I am really enjoying about this game. Its an absolute solid 8 out if ten for me so far abd I'm only 20 hours in of which I know is a large game but I am having some issues.
Overall great but seems to be suffering from Sony sequel itis . I don't think it quite knows what it wants to do, feels a bit messy compared to 2018 which just felt like they had a perfect vision and mastered it.
Excited to see what the rest of the game holds and hopefully I get some more fights that aren't just bowl type arenas and small enemies. I am hoping some big guys turn up as like mini bosses more often and for more epic boss fights.
Great game, just far from 2018 imo.
I think Cory just knew exactly what he wanted the team to do.
I'm really surprised this has reviewed the way it has.
