Graphically- This game is stunning, even on lower settings. It runs exceptionally well even on maxed out settings @1440p I was hitting an avg of 110-120 with an occasional dip to 90 under graphically stressful scenes/gameplay. The world is vibrant and just plain out gorgeous! The many puzzles throughout the world kept me going. It's rare I can say this but i had fun going for collectables and filling up my map in search of stronger gear while also exploring the beautiful open world.

Story- It pulled me in and kept me strapped to my seat for the whole ride. It’s been quite a while for me since the last time I was able to become so immersed in a single player story (Witcher 3), but something about this campaign and its storytelling kept me fully engaged in the world and the characters. I love the dynamic duo that is Kratos and his son, how they evolve during their journey and how they handle the loss of someone so differently but in a very realistic way. I also like Norse mythology, so experiencing this game's perspective from the other side of things was very fun and intriguing!

Gameplay- The combat is fun as hell! At the start I found myself bored of the same basic combos you start with but when the game world opens up and you see the slue of new abilities and combos you can purchase with xp, I found myself truly enjoying the skills and abilities more and more as I filled up my arsenal with new and different ways to combat the creative foes thrown my way! I love enemies being very diverse and this game gives you just that. Not holding your hand and requiring you to figure out the best methods to counter attacks and unblockables while having to learn their fighting pattern was very rewarding and satisfying for me especially with some more difficult late game bosses you encounter.

10/10
