I hope this inspires a new more interesting approach to open world design from other developers. This is one of the most interesting worlds to explore and experience.
Certainly exceeded my expectations. I wasn't totally sold on the Combat but found the story to actually be very refreshing and full of heart. Hopefully a sequel can be made where we can experience playing as all of the Guardians and not just Star-Lord.
The narrative is meh at best but the gameplay and level design is pretty strong. I would say this game works with permadeath on and if you are willing to switch out characters randomly every mission. But that doesn't solve the issue that you have played this game before.
Surprisingly hardcore and challenging. I can see why this game has such a cult following. Certainly enjoyed a lot of this game but felt done with it around the halfway point due to repetition. Would love to give the multiplayer a try with a couple people after some drinks.
This is an alternate God of War 2 with a much more interesting story. Even with the knowledge this was originally on a handheld this is still a worthwhile adventure under Kratos' belt.
A guilty pleasure but your mileage may vary. Really depends on if the concept of a ripped Josh Keaton in jorts, ripping limbs off to heavy metal music sounds interesting to you.
