8.5/10

Thoroughly enjoyed it, although it didn't wow me as much as it did most.

Nominate Gears of War 4

9/10

Top tier mythology & top tier characters with impeccable pacing. I think it only loses a bit if you hadn't already played the original trilogy.

7

For the first two thirds or so it's pretty great, but it falls off a lot later on.

9.5

Excellent lore, dialogue, character development and world building. Really hyped for the sequel.

9

Mostly outstanding, love the performances and the change in Kratos' character. Baldur seemed...a little tacked on somehow? Otherwise it was really good.

I am also really excited for the sequel in which Toby from The West Wing is playing Odin(?!). Awesome

5/10

this seems super overrated to me

9

Very good, ending was very strong.

6/10. Overrated story but still a great game.
