| The Fury said: GoW Ragnorak. Jak 1. Kurushi, Jumping Flash!. |
In an kinda weird sense of "I need to play more of...", I had an itch and went back and played God of War 2018. Like a few weeks after Ragnorak.
Mainly did the main story as played all the other stuff before and man Mulsepheim is tedious. And honestly, I'd say I had a lot more fun with God Of War 2018 than I did Rag.
There's something about it that is just simpler, it's probably the same effect for when I played Horizon and enjoyed the first over the second. Sure, stuff in Rag was good, extra weapon, new companions, playing as boy but in the end the whole thing felt more contained, streamlined even. Rag had 'bloat' which felt more like "We have to add stuff to make it bigger."
Like, the entire area of Vanheim that is completely optional, like it felt it was just added to add more gameplay time of an honestly already long game, fun if those sections might have been.
Yet, GoW's extra areas were just side shoots of Midgar really, small caves or dungeons with simple objectives and it felt more natural to explore.
Anyway, I think I need to take a break from GoW but will def go back to do NG+ of Rag at some point to see the extra stuff in that mode. NG+ items from GoW were great so expect good things here.
Hmm, pie.
