Okay, so Heimdall was anime as all fuck.

Game beated, final playtime 38 hours but I still have post game stuff to do.

The crater really surprised me with big it was for a completely optional area. The ending of the game was good but felt a little less epic than previous games. I think there could have been a little more spectacle in the Thor/Odin fights and honestly the Heimdall fight too. The Baldur fights in the first game were insane and nothing really matches those in this game.

GMGOW 100% done. Triple berserkers was a pain in the ass. King's relic and topping off gear made Gna way easier the Sigrun was.

Game mostly beat. I don't typically 100% games but I did most of the side stuff, including beating The Raven Keeper, killing all the berserkers and finally beating the Berserker King. The only things I didn't finish were some of the crucibles, finding some lore and doing the remnants of Asgard

then of course I come to this topic and there's a whole ass extra boss even harder than the Berserker King I didn't discover jfc

Anyway God of War III is in my top 5 games of all time and this might be even better than that. One of the absolute best games I've ever played, easy 10/10. Probably the most impressive acting performances I've seen in gaming across the board. Kratos and Atreus obviously, but Sindri, Brok, Thor, Angrboda, Freya, Odin and Mimir were all award-worthy performances. Every character feels extremely real and grounded.

I see some people complaining about Ironwood online, meanwhile that was one of my favorite sections. The pace was slower than usual but if anything that gave some much needed cooldown to everything that had happened prior, meanwhile it was probably the most gorgeous area of the game and had one of the best boss fights. I was too in awe of it all the whole time to have any complaints.

really just an incredible experience

People online these days will complain about anything that requires them to have an attention span more than that of a goldfish. Ironwood is a fantastic deviation from the main quest. First of all, we are exploring Jotun-fucking-heim. A realm in which we thought all the giants were dead in the previous game. Exploring and taking in the flora of fauna was breathtaking. The dialogue between Atreus and Angrboda came off very natural like between two people who have instant chemistry. And the boss battle was amazing. I absolutely loved everything about that part.

Also the reveal that Loki puts the soul of a giant into a soulless snake and that snake grows to become Jormungandr before getting knocked back in time by his fight with Thor at Ragnarok is one of the hugest twists I've seen in a game and it still wasn't even the biggest twist of Act 3

I also really loved how they handled translating Fenrir and Jormungadr being Loki's weird animal children in Norse myth to being legendary animal beings that were given their form by Loki

Beat the main story tonight. It's p good. As a sequel it doesn't dramatically raise the bar but it was a pretty high bar already.

The game has a GoW Recap on the main menu. I dunno how long/good of a recap it is, but Id imagine it covers the most important stuff at least

seriously, my jaw dropped upon reaching Iron Wood and then again upon reaching Asgard for the first time and climbing the wall

I mean there's a LOT of gorgeous environments but sometimes the game just hits you

like the scene was so much quicker than I expected it to be but after 50 hours of playing it still sticks with me. Just phenomenal

I just watched some trailers for Evil West and it's probably something like an ultra-cheap version of this but it looks delightful.

Are you meant to beat the game before doing 100% in each realm?
Yes. There are a few sidequests that can't be completed until post-game.

This game feels a lot harder than the first. Some of these optional bosses are really intense, but Ive also failed to upgrade a lot of my armors because I dont want to waste resources on anything other than the best gear lol

Uhh the Berserker fights were great. The only annoying thing about the Surtr challenges was you have to keep doing the minor challenge to unlock the big challenges. Don't make me replay the easy, boring challenges!

This exactly.

I personally liked the Berserker fights more than the Valkyries from GoW2018 because it felt more varied.

And the Surtr Trials aren't any worse than they were in GoW2018 where you had to repeat previous challenges you have already completed.

Extremely good game. I'm only missing two superbosses and have attempted neither yet. Had a lot of fun the whole way though. I thought the amount of new gameplay was just perfect for a direct sequel.

I was also very surprised reading about too much exploration while reading through this topic because you literally doesn't have to do any of it. I played through the majority of the story without going anywhere extra and it's no issue whatsoever and I didn't feel like the game tried to make me go in that direction. Of course that the real ending isn't the initial credits but is a favor has its pros and cons.

Alright, got the platinum now. I had almost no trouble at all with the hardest bosses, so maybe I should have playing on a higher difficulty than Give Me Balance after all. I just never think if not playing games on default setting on first playthroughs.

Yeah I regret not at least doing the initial 6 when you could get there first, but none were hard. The hidden boss there was probably the toughest fight in the game, though I might just have been really used to fighting Beserkers that I could easier avoid any attack the final one had, so he seemed harder.

the triple beserkers were brutal, kept trying to change my strategy back and forth between focusing on the main tanky melee one and the two spellcasters in the back, and neither strategy seemed to work better than the other

Something about Surtrs trials I just learned You only need to activate the swords to trigger each rune, which includes starting a warm-up and immediately cancelling it - so you never have to replay them if you dont want to.

Wow. That would have been great to know.

Platinum done. I gotta say, getting the details of how many ravens, artifacts, chests, etc there are in each sub-area makes the hunt for collectibles much more bearable.

I think I want to do a replay on GMNM. One of the best games I've played in a while.

That game was so good that Im actively depressed to be finished with it. Very tempted to replay 2018.
Exactly how I was feeling upon finishing it. I've been honestly tempted to go back and replay through the original trilogy now
