Atreus and Mimir spoiling puzzles does get on my nerves here too and it's weirdly inconsistent. Sometimes you walk in a room and they can't wait to tell you what to do before you've had time to pan the camera across the room or other times they actually let you try a times before telling you "Hey stupid, do this". I would love an option to turn those hints off as well. 

Dear God, yes. I’m kind of baffled by this glaring issue. I want to figure puzzles out myself in games, and I get no satisfaction from looking up the solution. But there have been several times where not 10 seconds after I’m given the puzzle, they give me the answer. Then, there was another moment where the solution was not very straightforward, so a hint would’ve actually made sense, yet Atreus and Mimir were dead silent.

That being said, most things are definitely positive. Im very partial to the axe, but I’m being slowly drawn to the blades. They’re badass. Launching someone in the air, then impaling them with the blades, Scorpion-style, and then slamming them back to the ground, is a hell of a feeling. 

I feel the axe is better for slower enemies and the blades are a better fit for fast enemies. It's really satisfying to slam down a Dark Elf about to shoot a fireball while flying. I'd say right now the axe is my default weapon and the one I enjoy the most, the fights with The Hateful are some of my favorites.
