I'm going to try it in Performance mode this evening instead of Resolution. I've heard that makes it better. As long as the graphical experience isn't downgraded too much then I'll stick with that.
Yeah, but this is particularly bad. It's like when you're on the map screen in Horizon (if you've ever tried that). Sometimes I struggle to hear the dialogue!!

I preferred the series being an action game instead of a RPG-lite. Combat is off-putting with how slow it is. Unnecessary loot collecting to pad the length of the game as well an overly melodramatic story uncharacteristic of Kratos. I'll take the over-the-top action with giant fantastical bosses and a streamlined story over this anyday.
Ground breaking would be doing something we haven't seen before. What this title did, regardless of viewpoint, was take some inspiration from some of the games that came out prior to it such as Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. By doing so it lost a bit of that touch that made GOW stand out as a more unique product. You may say, "GOW prior was just another action game and nothing else". Sure, if you make it that basic you'd be correct. It wasn't like in the past for example I could pick up the game and make direct correlation with Devil May Cry, a series that is has become known for its stylish combat and huge learning curve when it comes to putting together combos. I'm glad you enjoyed the game more than the prior ones in the series. I don't share your same sentiment.

I've played through most of it with a friend. He is as big of a god of war fan as I am and decided to go ahead and purchase it. The overall presentation is top notch as only Santa Monica can do. I've no problem with that. The core of the game is very different which is where I take my leave.
Its a different genre of game now and follows the popular trends of today. (Souls-like, Last of Us) Homogenized if you will. A great business-wise decision for Sony as it will maximize sales on what is popular. Just not my preference, that's all.
I agree. That's the RPG lull implemented for padding. The boss encounters, enemy variety and pacing takes a hit because of this. You'll see nothing like the Poseidon or Chronos battle in this game.
