Already 10 hours, time flies! There are not enough words to praise this game, the art direction is incredible. It is one of the best looking games in my humble opinion, from the really detailed environments to the texture quality of pick up items, this game is several levels beyond the God of War 2018. The places you find yourself in are life-like, they look stunning and even though I know it is a fantasy kind of approach to the building of the world, it just makes sense and it feels like this place can be "existent" I might say. I love the story of Kratos, love the characters and this time around I feel like everything is several times more polished, but there are some issues:

Aside from the fact that the game runs extraordinary, tested it on a bunch of systems, and I was surprised at how much better it runs than it's predecessor God of War 2018, there is a freezing problem that persists on my side, on every system. after two to three hours of running the game, it just freezes, denying me from continuing the play-through. Every time I need to restart the game to continue my session, and this would not be such a big deal but if the game freezes in a cutscene then I need to replay that said cutscene wavering through the same dialogue lines and music which is a little bit annoying.

You need a PSN account to play this game, I don't know why, and I don't care, I just made one and played the game, Sony having my data doesn't concern me as much, as I am not a play station fanboy and don't use their consoles at all, so be it, made an account, was worth it in my opinion, but I can see why some people might find this not a good choice in their case.

Overall, this game is again making me speechless, this time it's even better than the predecessor and it just shows how the world is ten times more denser and better looking, how the characters interact with each other, the camera movements, and the textures reacting to all sorts of lights, even the UI elements got a drastic overhaul making them more readable and cleaner. It is a masterpiece, and it's worth every penny!
