For some reason this game, having mildly entertaining combat mechanics pulled straight from the original God of War games (but done worse) decided that in addition to that it must be a Shadow of the Colossus game, but a very shitty and annoying one. That first Snow giant or whatever is such a terrible boss fight, and to encounter something as lame, unresponsive and frustrating as that after Ragnarok was like a whiplash.

I dumped the game, but still, some time later im willing to give the second game a chance. First one though, wow, what an incompetent rehash of games that came before. Performance is garbage too. This game actually embodies the worst tendency of the PS3/XBOX 360 generation games. Going full in on the graphical fidelity while totally abandoning performance as an important part of gaming experience. If you can't optimise it, own up to it and make it uglier! It's not like you're fooling anyone with those graphics when your frame rate is in a toilet. Damn.
