Coming from the old style ones where the camera angle moved automatically to this one was a huge disappointment. To me, it is now just another AAA game. Nothing makes it special like the first 4 plus Ascension. Last one I played was the 2018 one and it wasn’t as bad as this one. I feel like I’m too close behind Kratos and my field of view is too narrow. You can only see the enemies in front of you. They removed those cool animations that you get when open a chest. So many things that made GOW what it is are gone. I played for about 2 hours hoping I’d get used to it, but nope, I couldn’t continue. I stopped and uninstalled the game. Am I the only who feels this way about this game?
Did you play the first of the new GoW? By what you write it seems you are surprised by the new type of gameplay but you shouldn’t be, as the previous game was the same.
Anyway, I loved the first trilogy but I also like the new ones. I loved the gameplay and the cheesiness of the original trilogy. And the new saga has a really well made story and art direction… I like them both but I agree it’s a totally different kind of game.
I did play the first new one, but a long time ago, so I could have forgotten how I felt about it. Lol. For me, nothing tops the old style ones. Even ascension is good. There is something off about this that I can’t put my finger on. I might give it another whirl and see. I don’t know.
