    Hot take, I like the old God of War games better. It was a fun power fantasy series where you rampage through all of greek mythology as a man litterally far too angry to die. Yatzee from zero punctuation (now at secomd wind) said something like “Kratos ripped a dudes head off because he needed a torch”

      It’s not a hot take. Everybody knows the “rebooted” series is crap. Not only I wanted a refund, but I demand they pay me for the trouble of playing their shit.

      Ten minutes into the game and I regretted buying it. “I don’t fucking know your dead wife. Leave me alone! Rampaging Greek mythology is what I want to do!”

        I disagree that it’s crap. I think they’re very good. But I also think they’re not fully comparable outside of the fact that they are different style of games.

        People can have preference but sadly if you prefer the originals you’ll likely feel as if you’ve lost the chance of more like them.

        I actually think the combat is not that different to original, but just with a different perspective. I think this can be felt especially in Ragnarok and in the free DLC of it that really focuses on on the combat.
