I have yet to finish it, but I can already see it becoming my personal gotg, stealing the top spot from P5.

I really like to see when people get woke and leave video game bigotry behind, and just love video games regardless who makes it. GoW is a great game and glad you are enjoying it like so many millions of other people.

I think GOW could use a lock on feature though. Cant tell you how many times an enemy moved and I punched at nothing.

Eh? It has a lock on feature. And if you re using it unsuccessfully, then i dont know. When i miss enemies its either because i m not adjusted to the combat system and not good enough or they dodged.

What? Which button is that?

I'm about 25 hours in so far, and I am thoroughly exploring everything and doing all sidequests at the earliest opportunity. I must say that the game is absolutely amazing, but maybe it's worn it's welcome a little bit with me. After 25 hours, I am getting to the point where I am wanting to finish the darn thing. Maybe it's just because I played for a great length of time yesterday, and that feeling will change when I get home from work today and start playing again.

The game has fairly in-depth RPG mechanics, all things considered, but a lot of it feels forced. Kratos is Kratos, and therefore, there really is no "build" in this game that's better than the rest. All players will end up the same in the end. Therefore, the skill tree can be kind of pointless, at times, and it's more a matter of which skill do you want to get first.

Keep in mind I am being critical of a game that's freaking amazing, and very well polished. If this wasn't the big AAA game of the season, then I wouldn't point out these flaws, but as a game that's a 95/9.3 MC, I want to point them out.

Also, it's difficult to determine which places you've already explored. Not sure how to include a spoiler tag.

SPOILER (Unless you have reached the first open exploration area):

After reaching the Lake of Nine, there are so many docks, and I explored them all right away. Some of them had areas I couldn't access yet, and it's going to be difficult remembering which ones I need to return to.

People said that about The Witcher 3. And MGSV. And Uncharted 4. And Breath of the Wild. And Super Mario Odyssey.

At the end of the day, when the generation is over, it's very hard to choose a single "game of the generation". Think about the last generation. How do you choose between The Last of Us, GTA V, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Portal 2, BioShock Infinite, the Mass Effect trilogy, Gears of War, Halo 3, Twilight Princess, Xenoblade Chronicles, and so many other masterpieces released during that generation? The truth is, there are many games that deserve credit for being important in different ways.

And, of course, how good a game is involves subjectivity.

I agree it is, so far, game of the generation. It also happens to be, in my opinion, the best God of War game to date.

Didnt say OP is right, just that you're wrong. BOTW is not close to the greatest game:

- poor dungeon design

-poor story

-poor musical score

-repetitive shrines

-poor post game content

-overpowered cooking makes for an increasingly easy game as it goes on

on and on and on... It's a good game, but it's missing a ton of what makes Zelda great,so not its not the best game of the gen. I'll give you top 5.
