I CRIED LIKE 500 TIMES ok my actual review is that the story is definitely not as tight as gow 2018. its definitely a little messy at times and sometimes the dialogue can be a little corny but the emotional highs and lows really moved me and i feel satisfied with how kratos and atreus' story ends. if they decided to stop writing there and then i would still be satisfied. SAD but satisfied. also i thought the new characters they introduced in this game were super engaging like [redacted blonde character] and [redacted red head]. i think the writing is strongest when its specifically abt parenthood.
