"Sony Santa Monica has given us reason to care about where Kratos' story will lead, and most importantly, delivered one hell of a ride to seamlessly play and enjoy through and through, from the intro screen to credits." - Eduardo Reboucas, Entertainium
Sony's PlayStation 4 is home to a number of great exclusives, here we take a look at the ten best ones available for gamers right now.
Every now and again a video game reboot comes along that completely changes how you feel about its characters, message, and the overall franchise. For many people that was God of War, when creative director Cory Barlog reimagined it in the Norse world. Now this might sound ridiculous, but the next candidate could very well be Megaman. Yes, seriously. Artist Marco Plouffe drew the bright blue hero as if he has been brought up in the harsh world of furs, ale, and gods that are a bit too enthusiastic about killing each other and giving birth to giant serpents.
Hats off for the quality of the picture but it's just shaved Kratos with a helmet. Should be blue surely.
While this was a great article and concept, I think this "wow let's copy god of war" "wow let's copy battle royal" "let's copy soulsbourne" or whatever is more bad than good for the gaming industry. Why not take, in this example God Of War "style", but put it in let say a middle east setting?
I understand small studios (and ea ms studios) wants to copy everything under the sun, but if you can't come up with your own ideas, why have a studio to begin with?
TLDR; be unique - not a rip off from yesteryear
Atreus was a seminal part of God of War but he also was a huge headache. Here's how the team at Sony Santa Monica not only made the boy tolerable, but an invaluable asset.
Kratos is more likable than ever. Cory Barlog and SSM nailed it. Nintendo really need to evole Link as a character, not just a figure.
I'm enjoying the changes, though there still some drawbacks with certain things, but overall its what GOW needed to progress the series and Kratos in general.
I like Kratos as a character. He's more personable and understanding... He will help when he can but he's also wary of people trying to hurt him and his child.
i'd give the game a 9.5 out of 10. Only thing that has been irritating is the small font in the menus... and the convoluted upgrade system.... They should have made it more simple... like... you gain 'X' amount of XP... you get some points to spend on base stats and skill trees..... in addition, you can buy armor and enchantments that increases/decreases the stats.
Sony knows what they're doing unlike Microsoft
