my very first ps4 game as it came with the box, i wasn't expecting anything from this as i thought this was actually an indie game. when i played this, i thought it had really good graphics then it turns out this was a souls game made by Fromsoft. the game actually scared me, i couldn't go past the plaza for about hours cuz i was over-leveling myself. then i came to love the game after beating Father Gascoigne to which I beat the game up to NG+3. this game is very unique, it has great material with Lovecraftian references and Victorian architecture which made the experience very fun and mesmerizing.

this is what i've expected of God of War with the next-gen environment. it has good melee combat mechanics and has steady pacing of story progression which it doesn't rushes any plots/story events. it has tons of areas to explore to and quite an amount of side content to complete. i like the quite complicated but well-constructed father-son dynamic of Kratos and Atreus. the game is also quite funny with Mimir around which spices things a bit with the duo. overall, such a great game.
this game gives you a good feeling of what combat mech should really feel like. it has tons of customizable options and has the freedom to build whatever you like such as melee-focused, sniper, or artillery mechs. i don't like the story that much subjectively it's a mix of science and fantasy which i'm not a fan of and it has fake sense of character progression with the arena. not that very interesting to dig deep into in my opinion unless you are reading lore-heavy with the previous AC titles and for it's endings but overall with it's satisfying combat mechanics, it's a good game.
