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.

You saying there are no consequences for button-mashing in hack-and-slash?
