GoW is an action RPG now. Feels more like Witcher, Dark Souls, Ryse, etc.

A hack n' slash is more like all the previous GoW games, DMC, Bayonetta and Dante's Interno. Essentially button mashing.

It's action rpg and hack and slash. Best of both worlds. Beautifully combined.

No, its not hack and slash anymore. It not fast paced button masher like the other games I mentioned.

Hack and slash is a subgenre and the new God of War is not in it.

I have to agree with Mr Puggsly on this, Kerotan. The 2018 GoW is in no way a hack and slash. It's in the same vein as Dark Souls/Nioh/witcher 3. You're punished for button mashing in action rpgs.
