Chris was highly skeptical of the soft God of War Norse reboot. He's always willing to give something a shot, but taking the fast and frenetic combat of the original series and slowing it down to focus on a father and son relationship? It's a bold and risky move.
One that paid off in spades.
Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.
I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.
Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.
They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.
Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
Raining 9s & 10s all around! We have a GOTY contender!!
THE HYPE!!!!!
I bet Gamspot will pull a left punch on this one. Lol, just kidding! Phenomenal scores for GoW. Hats off to Cory and the rest of SSM!
Playstation continue to kill it with all their first party exclusives.
Now it sounds like they may have outdone themselves yet again.
I have no idea how this game could top Horizon: Zero Dawn (my current game of the generation), but it sounds like it just might.
