So, I'll try to keep it as short as possible. The game is considered by many to be the worst god of war game and yeah I stand by that, but it doesn't mean it's a bad game.
Firstly, the story is a bit short and weird. It isn't really something important and can be summarized in just a few words: "Kratos is captured by the furies and tries to escape and break his bond to Ares", but I do like the way it is told, jumping from past to present. Some find it confusing but I say it's pretty interesting.
Overall, story 7/10
Now the gameplay, I found it to be extremely fun, personally. The elements sure aren't as interesting as a new weapon, but I enjoyed a lot some of them, especially lightning and it's magic attack. The combat is so full of option, either using normal attacks, special attacks, magic, air attatck, grappling. Sometimes I let loose and unleash hell on enemies and it's so fun.
Gameplay 9.5/10
Music, excellent as always. Some boss fight music really brought an epic feeling.
Music 9/10
Now when it comes to graphics, they are a noticeable step up from gow 3, looking pretty damn crisp and nice, but coming at the cost of performance problems. On average I think the game ran at around 40 fps, rarely hitting 60, sometimes as low as 20-30. As for the action presented, the only thing that reminded me this game came out on ps3 was the resolution because the scale of some of the **** going on is simply incredible. It did however give me huuuuge uncharted vibes, making me almost forget what I was playing during parkour.
Graphics and action, 9.5/10
Overall, the average of my scores comes down to 8.75, but I would round it down to an 8. The problems mainly being the story, with some dialogue being kinda cringy, and the performance. Also, the multiplayer trophy which requires you to have a network pass. Having bought the game second hand means the code is used and I can't get the platinum.
Still a great time!
