I cannot stand the AAA fluff in this game. You could remove the rpg stats and the game would be objectively better. The open world often feels unnecessary but the side quests are sadly super high quality. I was consistently irritated by this needless padding garbage but the thing as a whole is so well made and engaging that giving this game anything lower than a 4 feels disingenuous. It deserves to be the last GOW.

how could they fuck up mid!!!!

Growing up with this and not the originals makes you mentally ill
