Overview
Daniel reviewed the PC port of God of War following the expiration of its PlayStation console exclusivity, rating it 2.8 out of 10 and deeming it an overpriced, low-effort cash grab sold at an excessive £40 price point that does not hold up well in 2022.
Daniel criticized multiple aspects of the game, including unskippable cutscenes, a dull protagonist, repetitive button-mashing combat, mundane padding puzzles, and an off-putting gear upgrading menu.
