Playing this feels like doing the dishes or mowing the grass. The environments are boring, the story is boring, combat is boring, enemies are boring. The graphics are nothing special, I maxed this on Direct x 12 in 4k and it looked basic af. The facial animations are also ancient. I got this for free and want a refund on the time I wasted. The people who are calling this one of the best games ever need to go back to the circus. Uninstalled and forgotten.
This has some of the best written characters in gaming history. It's arguably the best looking game ever made and it is so incredibly unique and amazing. There is nothing like this out there! The only flaw is the driving. The cars are the worst handling in gaming history. The Devs have clearly never driven a car. It's basically bald tires on ice. The silverlining is the motorcycles handle well. Besides that, seriously this is one of the top 25 best games ever made holy crap. Jackie and Panam both made me cry I LOVE THIS GAME
Ugly graphics with no sense of direction at all. The game sounds cool but it fails in execution. You are thrown into a big ugly world with nothing to do. I figured I might as well find a city, surely there will be someone to talk to, or a quest, or anything really. Nope, none of the npcs talk, nothing to do, the buildings are mostly empty, No clue how to get money or if I even want to get money. You will soon be killed and beaten up by everything that moves. I refunded this game twice.
Much better than Skyrim. This was when The Elder Scrolls still had soul. This was my favorite game of all time until I tried RDR2. There are hundreds and hundreds of hours of unique and amazing content in this game. The quest are not repetitive and are truly creative. The Shivering Isles DLC is also great.
Where to begin. The graphics are pretty but extremely unreactionary. An example of this is when you are in the boat and the water doesn't react and the boat moves extremely awkward and unrealistically. I enjoyed Dante's inferno and since I have never been a playstation guy I have always missed God of War... until now. I really enjoy mythology so all signs pointed towards me liking this more than Dante's inferno. That couldn't be further from the truth. This game is littered with BORING awful puzzles and redundant back tracking. It sucks all the momentum right out of the game as I couldn't stand to play this game for more than an hour before getting tired and extremely bored. The gameplay is repetitive and boring and the monster diversity is very limited which is odd for a game based on mythology. Solve a boring puzzle, get useless loot, fight boring monsters, be a step dad, rinse and repeat. Yes, you are guiding some dumb little kid the entire game and it adds absolutely NOTHING. He "helps" in combat by firing useless arrows (at your command, basically an extension of Kratos and basically has no AI) He also "helps" by drawing the attention of enemies and then crying about it. Then he "helps" you reach the next area by jumping up somewhere and dropping a ladder for you or something along the line but he is painfully annoying and completely retracts from the "experience." You play as the god of war, someone who can move mountains and kill insane creatures of mythology but when it comes to actually combat your character is weak as hell. There is no sense of progression and the combat and combos are painfully boring. The only thing stopping me from giving this 1 star is the graphics and voice acting. Kratos looks and sounds the part but the devs completely laid an egg when it comes to execusion. Don't believe the hype this game is beyond brutal. There are a thousand better games out there, do yourself a favor and save your money, I wish I did.
