now THIS is the game I wanted 2018 to be.

improves SO much of what 2018 laid out but it wasn't afraid to call back to the original series. combat is satisfyingly similar to God of War 3 in its animation, down to the executions. animation itself isn't afraid to let loose, no longer stiff in combat and in transforms and allowed to actually flow nicely.

the story blows 2018 and even arguably most of the 'prestige' Sony games out of the water. They did not hesitate to make you laugh, make you cry, and make you feel a satisfy end to Kratos's story (and the beginning to Atreus's). This game has what 2018 didn't have - personality. Hell, at time I felt like I was watching an actual play!

nearly every problem I have in the new series has been addressed and fixed in this entry. i'm glad i had the privilege to actually play it right to the end, and it's post credits content

I haven't really seen anything from this yet. Did they add more variety to the enemies? That's the biggest issue I had with 2018. Also, the repetitive bosses, but I'm guessing that did not change, right?
Couldn't have said it better myself. The game is a massive improvement in every regard coming from another who did not think 2018 was the masterpiece everyone else claimed.

Also @fancyynancyy the bosses and enemy design are much better and more diverse in this game as well.
