It may have some rough edges, but the base underneath them is still built on awesome combat and discovering plenty of secrets. It certainly won’t win over anyone new to the series, but it’s plenty satisfying for those who have been waiting over three years since the last game."
I co sign this review score. This game is MUCH better than some "critics" are scoring it. While it is by no means flawless, It finds its place in the series. The combat (outside of having your combos interrupted constantly) is as good if not better than GOW. The stealth missions are out of place imo aswell as the modern locations. The game looks beautiful on pc (maxxed out 7950 oc edition FTW!) The ending will leave you wanting more that's for sure. Great game that should be receiving better scores than a 4/10 that some idiot gave it. 8/10 easy
