God of War (2018)!

I often tire of open world exploration and gameplay, but so far this game has either:

• not opened up super wide
• or does not need to open up super wide

I’m not a huge fan of the Destiny level up system where you gain exp and get new gear to hit level requirements, but I’ve been able to keep up. Just annoying when I stumble upon an area with something 2-4 levels higher than me.

The story is great so far.

Tap for spoiler

I’m about to enter Joutunheim and just finished killing one of Thor kin. Magni, I think.

I never played the other GoW entries, but do recall watching my dad play them when I was younger. I did eventually play Dante’s Inferno, which was very similar in gameplay.

I much prefer the axe throwing/melee combo gameplay to the top down hack and slash, I think.
