I really hate the focus on smaller fights and the concept of needing a small kid to win battles or traverse terrain. The camera might be "bring you closer to the action" but I think it's more to detract from how little is going on when you're actually fighting. As far as it looking more brutal, I'm not sure what gameplay you've seen. It looks far less brutal and certainly less grotesque. While the attacks have more weight, it's more of a compensation for the much slower game speed. When everything is slower, each attack has more weight to it.

I watched the same gameplay as you, or I'm assuming so anyway, lol. sure there's no blood and guts like earlier games, at least on the enemies we've seen (Maybe there's no blood in the game at all...), but I still stand by my statement that it looks much more brutal, cleaving your axe into a downed enemy and hacking them in half or ripping them in half with your bare hands both seem pretty brutal if I'm being honest, lol. I also don't think the gameplay will be much slower, people are saying it looks like the Souls games, but is that only because it's over the shoulder and R1+R2 to attack? Because I've seen proper combos and juggling being done in combat, both things that were done in the original games that I'm 100% sure aren't in the Souls games, lol. 

I guess we'll just have to wait until closer to release, apparently we're gonna' be seeing more of it leading up to release, so maybe that'll help you make a final decision. 

 

 

There is definitely blood in it. Just watch the part where Kratos bashes that teleporting witch, he’s covered in blood. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an interview where Cory Barlog said they wanted to reduce the amount of blood, so that when they actually use it it becomes a more intense experience as it’s something that doesn’t appear so often from other traditional enemies.
