Can you people advise for some video review with zero spoilers?

So no story scenes with new characters or anything more than just kratos\little shit fighting enemies in the first area we already know from the trailers (the one with the humanoid lizards) or even just him fighting simple draughrs.

I watched the IGN review, which only expands on scenes/enemy combat/environments we’ve already seen in the official series vids. I didn’t see anything I would class as spoilers.
Edit: Although, you could assume story threads I guess.

Skill ups or yongyeas are okay. They show minibosses that have been hinted in trailers and the preview event. That's about it I would say

Don't do the ign one it spoils part of the thor fight.

Don't touch digital foundary

Yeah no, i tried skill up (before reading your advise so don't feel bad) and his "100% spoiler free review" and a couple of minutes in there is a spoiler scene, fuck this guy :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

Yeah i think i'm good, i'm not gonna risk.

This whole discussion right here. Got me hyped as hell, zero spoilers.

Friends Per Second podcast with Skill Up and others



These are just impressions, not a review. No story beats and no footage.

Ah, thank you. Can't get any more hyped for this.

Kratos shows his cock. About time SSM.

What? I hope you're joking.

That's quite crass especially in a game which revolves around a father and son relationship.

You could open different tab and just listen to the review, that what I usually do.

Other than that, my advice is just avoid the reviews, I mean you already decided if buying this game or not.

I just wanted to see new (but still familiar) footage just to raise the hype even more, i don't give a damn what reviews say, the game could have scored a 3\10 for what i care.

As a hack'em slash fanatic, all Gow games are fun, even in gameplay, but ITS NOT DEEP. The original trilogy has more depth than 2018, what i saw about Ragnarok, looks a little better.

Try to Compare Dmc, Bayo and Ninja gaiden combat depth with Gow is laughable. Its like compare the ocean with a puddle.

You know, every single triple AAA when released its the same thing... EVERYTHING IS BETTER than ANY GAME ALREADY RELEASED.

Chill guys...If you want a deep combat, go play Sifu instead. Gow will never be recognized by gameplay Depth.
Good and simple gameplay, top Graphics, Story and brutal finishers that makes the series amazing.

I love Gow (older trilogy more), and i'll buy Ragnarok day one. But calm down, each game has its own merits, but not try to push every new released AAA as a perfect game.

Been reading some pages and it genuinely makes me sad to see how all the warriors can’t just enjoy great games but need to hate on other games in some childish attempt to hype up their favorite.
GOW vs RDR2, HZD vs BOTW, and this year we’ve had HFW vs Elden Ring and now also GOWR vs Elden Ring.
There is no common sense to it. All are minimum 9/10 games. How about talking about them like that?

You are free to convince yourself of whatever makes you feel better, no matter how laughable that is. But hopefully one day you'll play the game yourself (or, if you suck with a controller, sit next to someone skillful doing it for you) and realize how blatantly false those statements are.

"Depth" doesn't mean pressing buttons in memorized order to see thousands of fonts unfold on screen..

Yeah I hate how everything is a competition these days. Why can’t people just be glad there’s good games for everyone to enjoy?

And we all know next year will be Starfield vs. Zelda: TotK vs. FF16.

How does this game work then given it has all nine realms? Is one still like the main hub for it all with all the meaningful side quests?

It’s about GOTY but it’s really the same thing no matter what it’s about. It’s always a stupid competition and one equally highly rated thing must evolve into overhyped shit and critics must’ve been bought.
It’s just so tiresome.

I’ll very likely have Elden Ring and GOWR as my top two on my GOTY list. Let’s see how many warriors that can’t help themselves but see the need to split them up so one is #1 and the other #10 or not even on the list, with some bs explanation added.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If ordered button mashing is something someone enjoys then that is fine, but I don't see the "depth" there at all.

Has it been pointed out that Devil May Cry 3 was released in February 2005 and the first God of War released in March 2005. Now it’s Bayonetta 3 in October 2022 and God of War Ragnarok in November 2022. Nothing important, but it’s funny to me.

Ocarina only had 22 reviews in 1998 it's crazy to me how many reviews there's today. 100 should be tops and I even think that's too much especially when every game doesn't have the same amount of reviews it's almost as if Metacritic shouldn't matter 🙃

I'd just listen to the audio at this point. I've done that with a few videos. Or you could just go dark. It's out in a few days anyway.
