I have no idea what you're talking about (didn't play Hellblade),but the combat is great and just keeps getting better since you add more and more available moves. It's fluid, violent, quite diverse, and just a joy to play. 

Unfortunately, because you didn't play Hellblade, that doesn't really make me feel better. Some people praised Hellblade's combat as well in very similar ways, and it was very not good. Knowing what I've played of Hellblade and how identical this looks to that, albeit way beefier, it's hard for me to be optimistic there.

I can say though that a lot of what I hated was how stiff Hellblade was because of the camera, and though I really don't like the camera in this game, at least it appears as though you can freely manipulate it during combat. I think the retractable axe gimmick looks interesting, as well.

God of War combat isn't anything like Hellblade combat, and the enemy variety is far superior. Its still a hack and slash game. I'm 20 hours in and the combat is better than every God of War game other than 3. I haven't unlocked all the upgrades.

 You get the Blades of Chaos later in the game and has a similar moveset to the ones in previous games.

I agree. Looking at the two - I think Horizon still has better character textures and particle effects. Like god damn, you can see Aloy's iris patterns in her eyes - thats nuts.

I really don't remember Horizon being THATTTT detailed ... but that's probably because I was so busy playing the sidequests and exploring the world, which all looked great but a tad flat. You guys are making me want to replay Horizon after GOW so I can compare Man that game was so good

Particle effects better in Horizon is false. If there is one thing GOW kills every game with its those particle effects. Infamous: Second Son has better particle effects than Horizon. God of War has the best of any game I've played. Character textures are better as well.

This game is awesome and this is coming from someone who didn't care for Horizon and thought games like TLOU was good, but nothing great.

I loved Horizon and liked TLOU but I digress.
