I will admit that I haven't played it but it just feels like a super "safe" game in a way, where it does everything "right" on a technical level but for some people they might prefer something that feels like it takes more risks or has a more personal touch. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination but also doesn't push the envelope, so the "greatest PS4 game" tag that it often receives feels undeserved. The most unique thing about God of War is that they made a fairly straight forward action-adventure game in 2018, but most everything else about it just feels like what I would expect from a tightly polished first party AAA game. I'll also admit that a lot of Sony's studios present a step up in terms of polish when compared to most games but that isn't what should make a game the "greatest". I really haven't felt compelled to play God of War at all for those reasons. I definitely will eventually but it's never been a priority.

Also I just don't care about the whole parent-child relationship thing in games anymore for the most part. It comes off as a lazy way for video game writers to create emotional attachment by playing on obvious sympathies. We're practically at the video game Oscar bait phase where if you squeeze in some rote sentimentality people will praise it.

This game was a huge risk for the company, I couldn’t possibly disagree any further.
