God of War (2018)
This one is probably going to be a controversial entry. God of War, overall, is a phenomenal game with a fantastic story that gets you right in the feels. However, it’s a game that drags on, not really in its plot, but more in its gameplay.
Throwing the Leviathan axe around is cool and wonderfully satisfying but add in the fact that you have to generally hurl it at random symbols hiding in trees and you have to use it for identical finishers on near-identical and repetitive bosses, then the game’s drag shows.
Even the story at certain points takes a while to get going. The beginning can seem to stretch on until we get to the meat of the action and the plot. Its exposition, while necessary, does drag on a little too long.
Though, all of this doesn’t keep God of War from being an amazing game that deserved all the awards it received.
