Man, these guys just gush about their 2-3h playthrough. Listened while driving, but seems as tho 2 guys played it, one a GoW fan, the other not so much, but both played the original games.
Said this plays better than anything they’ve played in a long time.
edit: think the fact that these guys are British is also worth noting, since GoW has never been hugely popular in Europe.
