Vandal
A competent metroidvania: fun, long, and with challenges for all tastes.
The argument and, above all, to see how the relationship between Kratos and Deimos evolves.
There are some very beautiful areas in terms of art...

There are some very beautiful areas in terms of art...
... and others very uninspired, inappropriate for this franchise.
Technical highs and lows, both in terms of graphics and sound.
It gives the impression that it lacks cooking time, with frequent bugs.

The art style is fantastic
Core combat starts simple but gets deeper and more complex as you progress.

The loot system feels unnecessary since it doesn?t quite go far enough
Conversations can sometimes go on for too long
Platforming fans will take some time to get used to the controls.

Rich pixel art that makes the various biomes and populace feel distinctively different
Hundreds of secrets and collectibles scattered around the world
One particular unlockable (found within Sparta itself) pings hidden collectibles
Each biome has its own collection list, so no scouring the world for one missing item
No missable trophies or collectibles
Close to thirty hours per playthrough for the completionists

Kratos has a constant hunch when charging about like a caveman with spear in hand
Padded in unnecessary ways (especially when trying to complete the entire skill tree)
Combat lacks dynamic moments and instead feels like a slog even as Kratos earns more gifts of the gods
Only a few surface level references to Kratos' history on an adventure that doesn't live up to the God of War legacy
Co-Op mode is not what players would expect and remains a postgame unlockable
Narrative loses steam part-way and has some major padding issues throughout

Friendly dynamic between the brothers as well as between Kratos and his daughter
Fun fights with blocks, counters, and special attacks.
Map with icons makes it easy to find points of interest.

It's fun and enjoyable, it doesn't cost anything to want to move forward.
Tools and possibilities evolve over time.
If you don't expect much, it contributes to the overall story of God of War.

If you don't expect much, it contributes to the overall story of God of War.
A combat system that does not shine and drags everything else down.
Like metroidvania, it is very standard, it does not stand out in any way.
On an aesthetic level, it fulfills... but nothing more.
Far from what we should expect from a saga like God of War.

A God of War Metroidvania is basically a good idea, with good progression that feels rewarding and creates development in the combat system, the implementation of small puzzles is classic God of War, and a fine story that gives space to the characters
It feels dull to beat up enemies who are a little too unintelligent, there is a lack of flair in the execution, the voice acting misses the mark with young Kratos and Deimos, and it is ordinary in many areas
