Will God of War and For Honor cause a resurgence in AAA hack and slash games?

God of War is a puzzle platformer with elements of extreme action. Yes, you get hordes of enemies to dice up but the game is not hack and slash. Dead Rising is hack and slash. So is Hyrule Warriors and Dynasty Warriors.
Days Gone is a World War Z simulation lol.

You're talking about this game? We haven't seen any puzzles or platforming.

Previous God of War games? They focused on action and puzzles, platforming was secondary. Hordes of enemies, combos, huge variety of enemies, variety of weapons, yeah they were clearly hack and slash games.
