I do think there's a balance to be had when it comes to Kratos and his anger. They're not in conflict with him maturing, he need only learn to control it.

Mechanically (and personally for me, narratively too) I do find it very boring how he now tends to avoid fights, even when pushed into it for good reason. I'd much prefer when he ends up in a situation where he HAS to go on the offensive, if he just embraced it and we got elements of his old self for the duration instead of reluctance/guilt/shame. His new attitude is pretty typical of a protagonist which makes it less exciting.
