I mean to be fair, God of War is not perfect in that regard either. The camera can be a pretty big issue in battles, it simply should not be that close to Kratos's shoulder ... you can almost see his individual hairs. 

I also found the climbing incredibly out of place and oddly ... it's worse than in a Naughty Dog game despite coming 2 years after their last main Uncharted title.

But yeah, overall GOW is much better in that regard. RDR2 is the only Rockstar game that has really impressed me in any substantial way though, so I wouldn't say that doesn't at least deserve a mention (though that would technically be in next year's GOTY for this site I guess). 

Referencing ND for low quality climbing is kind of odd to me. Both UC4 and UCTLL has excellent climbing mechanics, especially in the MP. Yeah, God of War’s climbing seems a bit out of place, but Kratos doesn’t do it often enough for it to be a big deal. The camera angle definitely took a bit of getting used to, but it didn’t give me many problems, personally, when fighting enemies. 

Yes GOW's climbing was a problem. everyone knows Kratos doesn't do climbing to get to places, climbing is for killing enemies, just like jumping is a killing skill, oh shit another problem.
