i played this game after playing the 2018 game which i heard so many good things about but didn't like too much. I can now say that i like this game a lot more. The combat is so smooth and the weapons are cooler then the 2018 game. The characters have so much life to them and Kratos actually feels powerful. Plus the cutaways in this game aren't boring and lead to cool things. If the graphics and voice acting matched the 2018 game this would be 5 stars.
