I’m not gonna lie, the more I play the new GoW series the less I like it, especially Ragnarok. Too much talking, too many jokes and quips, it tries to be a more ‘mature’ story but it presents itself much more immaturely. I don’t like the faux-openworld so much, the lake was cool in the fourth but this one feels kinda tacked on. It is very on rails as well, everything kinds funnels the player in one direction, like a minecart. The combat boils down to how to cheese an encounter, because the game offers no crowd control techniques, or any sort of strategy besides kiting. You know it reminds me of a Disney movie or a Marvel.
It’s hard to believe this is even related to the original trilogy.
