Based on the first few hours, I'd go as far as to say that it is the best first-party software developed by a Sony Studio. They release many games that I enjoy,but I admit that they usually go the safe route on familiar ground. Solid games with excellent presentation. But GOW feels like a masterpiece unfolding. The world is beautifully realized, and the entire thing is just a joy to watch and play. You can tell that a lot of love went into this game.
