Strange, i have massive fun with the game so far, it seems much bigger then i thought, already over 30 hours and it feels like only 50% through. Combat is a bit strange without healing but gives some old school vipes and i hope that i can finish everything at balanced.
Story, visuals, and optimisation all fine till now, hope it stays like this.

I finally completed the story after 48 hours or so of gameplay. I gotta say, the story was a letdown compared to 2018. It just felt anti-climatic, everything it was building up to, we get the exact opposite like Krato's death, the need for the mask, even the little things like Freya's desire to kill Kratos at the start...... everything is subverted. I guess that is the key thing in the media today, subverting expectations.

Me too and I have tried like 3 times now to play this one and can't stand it for some reason. It's just not cool, it's like someones mom was in charge of making it and it's just constant bore mixed with cringe. Like a bad soap opera.
