God of War
If you managed to miss the hype surrounding this game, it’s still very much God of War like you remember it, but it’s also quite different. Kratos is still hard-pressed to find something or someone more capable at fighting than him, but he’s not necessarily looking for a fight anymore.
This game’s combat is more Dark Souls than it is the hack ‘n’ slash of previous entries in the series. He lives a quieter life. He remarried. He had a son.
This game starts with an event that causes you and your boy to leave your quiet homestead hidden within Midgard, and from there, you’ll find yourself rummaging through ruins, forests, mountains, lakes and more, all while upgrading your equipment and killing anything in your way.
During all of that, you’ll be witness to a Kratos with more emotion than ever before, a Kratos that still has a cross to bear–this time, though, he’s keeping that cross hidden.
It’s tough to explain more of this game without spoiling many of its greatest moments but if any of that has you somewhat intrigued, this is a PS4 game you don’t want to miss.
