If I, somebody who absolutely boycotted this series and Santa Monica Studio due to their awful handling of incubated IP in the past, and avoided the games regardless because of average hack and slash gameplay, am interested in God of War Norse, it's by no means ruined.
You don't understand the loathing I have for Santa Monica Studio. But I'm intrigued here.
God of War never had truly great mechanics or a good story, and since 3, other hack and slash games have done both categories better. The only way to continue the series is either improve both immensely or take a separate focus and work on making a game that spans more than one niche genre. And they're doing exactly the latter at the very least, and by giving Kratos restraint and emotions they're working on the former.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
