Shit is hard compared to the originals. Im used to mindlessly (for the most part) doing chain combos while occasionally dodging. Now I have to actually think about when my windows to attack are. I died like 10 times to an early segment where some heavy draugurs break through a wall, before I realized I have to play more conservatively. Hit twice then dodge backwards, and always be spamming the boys arrows. I was waffling between normal and hard difficulty, and Im glad I went with normal. Although based on a couple things I read I think the game just has poorly tuned difficulty where the beginning is the hardest part (before you unlock any of your abilities).

I just made it to the lake and am circling around to find all the docks. Kratos is definitely softer and gentler in this outing. Old Kratos would have reacted very differently when the witch got upset about shooting her boar. Probably would have killed the boar out of spite and then beheaded the witch for good measure.
