God of war (2018) is the complete package. A personal, emotional story full of intrigue and mystery, excellent characters that are all integral to the story and themes, incredible world building, a weighty combat system that starts off simple but has enough depth to be satisfying through out my 100% playthrough, Side content implemented so flawlessly that it feels Indistinct from the required content. Kratos and Atreus's journey is just as much about opening up to each other as it is about fulfilling his mothers wish. Optional boss fights provide quite a challenge with the final optional boss providing dark souls like euphoria upon defeat on hard mode. This reinvention of the franchise is executed near flawlessly as it tells an incredible compelling and complete story while setting up a grander tale to come. A must play game for any PS4/PS5 owner
