I think this game cements Santa Monica as the best out there (at least in the Triple A space) when it comes to marrying narrative and game design.
I prefer 2018 mostly because of its tighter focus. This game is more ambitious, but as a result there's much more to be nitpicked. Most notably, I think the writing gets too hokey in the last couple hours, but maybe it will work better for me on a replay.
Really appreciate the attention they've put in across these two games to making Kratos a three-dimensional character and actually giving him a satisfying arc.
