One of the things that killed this game for me were the comic relief parts, I swear to God sometimes it feels like you are watching a Marvel movie and not playing a God Of War game rated 18+ only. The story is ok, there is one good plot twist and the rest is just very predictable and safe, not to mention that the ending was very rushed. The combat for the most part is good, not much improvements over the last game, only one new weapon was added, the traversal is very, very boring, linear and predictable, full of invisible walls that strip away player freedom, there is no way to be creative, no way to try something different, and the parts where you get to play as Atreaus are the worst of the whole game by far.
The puzzles are extremely underwhelming, not to mention that every time you start a puzzle, within 30 seconds a stupid NPC will always give away the answer, no matter what you do.
A game that is really popular with adults, treating it's players like mindless toddlers.
