Loved the bond between Kratos and Atreus. Two unforgettable characters who only grow on you the more you play the game. The gameplay may be repetitive but it's a good repetitive. It works. However the enemy variety does drag some encounters down but the dialogue between characters like Mimir make sitting through the same 5 enemy types worth it. These feel like real and breathing characters which is what you'd hope for in a story game. The locations also feel very grounded which helps set the scene for a more fish out of water Kratos trying to find his way in a world that's not meant for him.
