The World's first official review of God of War III is out!
In the extensive 7 page review by Official PlayStation Magazine, the junior reviewer Nathan Ditum gives the game praise however clumsily criticises Kratos for being violent!
"I have only one serious reservation, and it's one I'm happy to admit makes me sound like a giant baby, sometimes, it feels like Kratos is too mean. I know - that's the point. Lost family, tortured here, etc etc. But he murders people with such deadening inevitability it becomes like the punchline to a repeated joke."
He also criticises the game for not having the emotional depth of Heavy Rain which he admits "Its a brilliant dog, but doesnt it miaow!"
He says of the gameplay
"The game is inches from scoring 10/10 and its only the familiarity of the core gameplay (standing on the shoulders of giants) that makes it feel less thant the very, very best."
9/10

Patricia from Rocket Chainsaw got to check out Borderlands 4.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades visuals, performance, and adds new tools like Zelda Notes.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Chronicles of the Wolf is fine. The score is strong and electronic, a bit out of place but not overly so. The system feels flawed but never broken. I beat most bosses by just wailing on them repeatedly. Getting a gun feels like cheating and you can do it pretty early on. I never actually cared when I leveled up. “Fine” might be too reductive, but this could have been either a delightful masterpiece or absolute garbage, and it’s neither. If you’re a huge Castlevania fan, it could be a lot of fun. If you liked Bloodstained better than most, then you’ll love this game. But when the sun rises in this house, Chronicles will simply disappear, like a nightmare with lingering doubts left in the day."
The review overall is very, very positive - although I think it's crazy to criticise Kratos for being violent, because that's what he's all about.
I've got this on pre-order. God of War III is gonna be epic.
"Its a brilliant dog, but doesnt it miaow!" He is idiot or what? GoD is not about tendernesses or some other crap like this, its about killing, gore, violence, epic, and one of the best gameplay in genre. 9 out of 10, lol.
and my characters to be "mean", I should add a point to the score? Wow...so GOW3 got a 10. Sweet.
