This game is redemption for past sins. Sony killed two birds with one stone with this game:

1) They will keep their game current.

2) They would have also silenced the critics who said god of war was a gorefest helmed by a one dimensional character. They also solved the puzzle of how many gods kratos can take out once olympus was taken down. In this game Kratos seems to be multidimensional because he has someone who has to take care of and has to think about what hes doing. Kratos is not the type to care for anyone or anything, so critics will be happy to see a new side of him. No need for a reboot. Its redemption.

But this isn't true. We know what motivates Kratos to go on a quest for vengeance and that's because he cared about his family. He only turned callous and angry after they were taken from him. While that still makes him not very deep, but it doesn't really show anything new.

We never experienced his multifaceted nature until now. Showing restraint and care for someone else is going to bring some depth to the story. The reviewers were right. As much as we love Kratos he was a character created by these devs a over a decade ago. They were slightly younger and they've learned how to make a game that they would like to watch as they've had kids and aged. These guys are older now. WIth that wisdom they could reflect on the issues that demanded such great change.
