I was not a huge fan of the first God of War game because of its awful platforming sections. This was the last entry in the Greek saga and came out after God of War 3. The gameplay is different than other entries in the series and is much easier. The story is average but I don't like how it jumps all over the place. I also think some of the puzzles/sections drag on too long. Overall this is just an okay game; the story was clearly in a lull and needed to take a break and reboot the franchise which happened with the 2018 Norse game.
