God of War. Never understood the appeal in Square-Square-Triangling my way through a billion enemies, then doing toddler-level puzzles and baby's first platformer all as a character that was not tragic but just a pathetic fool who might as well have been an incel for all the responsibility he took for his own actions. The first God of War games on PS2/3/P were all faux-edgy trash...
...but the 2018 God of War was a near-perfect masterpiece of art, direction, combat, growth, maturity, and production values. It looked great, felt great, played wonderfully, and had a remarkably well-written story with equally well-written characters. Honestly one of the best games of all time to come out of the most overrated series of all time next only to Halo.
