Sony’s reboot of the beloved franchise is the epitome of hype right now. “God of War” has outlets like IGN and Game Informer reaching for tissues. My curiosity about the game is at an all time high and I will pick it up soon digitally. But first, let me review the “GoW” before I’ve even played a minute of it.
What I Know
Kratos has traded in his Blades of Chaos for your average wood-chopping axe. He has a son now too (an homage to “The Last of Us”???). Besides the head ripping and creature tearing, “GoW” probably throws in a coming-of-age theme. Krat-dawg has a new look. His sinewy, teenage physic from the first triligy is replaced with a beefy, dad bod. He is a dad or something now after all.
Godly serpent boi pops out of the sea for a chat with the two protagonists at some point.
I’ve heard some rumblings about “God of War” from my friends at work too. Both seem to think the game has been a little over hyped by the hype beast itself (the Illuminati???). They say the new “GoW” isn’t that groundbreaking either like many are claiming.
But but but–serpent boi…
I give it a 10/10. Where’s the tissues?
