This might be the worst game I've ever played in my life. It was free, and I wasn't able to beat it during the time when I had nothing else to play.

The gameplay is all QTE, mostly implemented in the dumbest way possible. Along the perimeter of the screen a button will appear, which means that you're often not even looking at action in the center of the screen. Gameplay isn't responsive enough for this kind of game, either. If you look at Google, tons of people have issue with the double jump timing. There were times where I would stop, practice my timing, repeated "Jump. Jump." to myself as it worked, walked to a nearest pit and fell in because suddenly second jump refused to work.

The violence is just boring. It's no Mortal Kombat, DMC or Bayonetta. Kratos just pummels his enemies with his fists. He's a very boring protagonist that could be a fitting boss for any other game. He's not an anti-hero, he's just an asshole. The game doesn't even present his enemies as interesting, they're just some guys.

What made me drop this game was when you find a half-naked (as most women in this game are) sex slave who is deathly afraid of you. I was legitimately afraid a rape scene was about to start and I can't recall a single game that made me so uncomfortable.
Instead, Kratos jams the woman into a puzzle contraption that rips her apart.

Fuck this guy.
