One Punch guy meets Kratos ^^ Sony just milking its franchises again and again and again without offering anything new, interesting or at least cool looking. Its just a generic game which is named GoW. It looks also unfinished and gameplay mechanics are from 10 years ago. Sony has lost all its magic, that is crystal clear to me.
I get it, the game has a unique setting, a great start, it really invites the player to explore, which is clearly the strongest point in this game. Graphics? Dated. Animations? Even more dated. Building system is just awful. Dont you ever put a fundament near your multiroom, nono, ifyou want to deconstruct the fundament, you need to deconstruct everything in and around the multiroom. LOL!?? I never played a game with such weird restrictions in building. And its highly unlogical. With 3 titan you create one fire extinguisher. But with 6 you create a whole ROOM LOL. And there are lot of more of these examples, its just beyond non logical. I always dislike this in games. And food/water is as annoying as in every other freaking game, idk thought its a fun mechanic to repeat **** all the time just to keep you saturated. It gets better, but still, annoying, its never fun to do this. The only fun moment was to discover the "hot" knife, where you can cook(!) fish while you are in the ocean(!!!!). Speaking of non logical stuff, but at least it useful af to get saturated. And thenyou have to discover all recipes bc your ship crashed, which are just all over the map(btw, you dont have a map) and it can happen that you end up with a lot of stuffyou dont ever **** need, or maybe need one day, but without the basics you cant build stuff. I had fundaments and pipes and all that stuff and until now im asking myself, what do i need them for?
I build some rooms on the surface, so the fundament is like on one hight with the ocean.Climbing onto that fundament is also a struggle i cant even describe. Instead of you climbing the fundament(using your **** ARMS) and the jump button should bringt you up on the fundament. But no, it bugs and clips all the damn time. Its just a nice exploration game, with outdated game mechanics,non logical stuff everywhere and missing animations and explanations everywhere. Overrated game for me. I see what people liked, but you cant deny its heavy flaws.
Still a good game, but i just cant stand the focus on Melinoe, Zagreus was better in every aspect. I also highly dislike the design of this game. Some gods are race or color swapped, i just dont like this stuff at all. I also kinda didnt like the combat as much as in the first part, though i have to admit, it offers more variety, i just dont like how Melinoe fight and especially casts at all. And dev said they wanna push lgbqt... imean cant this stuff just at once stop? Just make games with likeable characters, not women with green lipstick and weird colors all over the place. There were so many great women in gaming history, Melinoe for sure will never be on that list. But hey, its a wet dream for all the review pages, a game switched their hero from male to female, make everything a little bit more colorful and g*y, and also enhance the gameplay system, and there you go, best game of ALL TIME! even better then BG3! Or Claire! At the end its just a isometric rogue like, how can this even be close to a BG3? The fan rating with 8.6. right now is way more realistic. Strong game, but please dont act like its the new holy grail. Its definitely not.
As a non english native its always difficult for me to get into such text heavy games. But i forced myself and was rewareded with a fine game, though i have to admit, after games like Disco Elysium, which has btw the exact same ui layout for conversations, i must say the writing is okay to good, but actually missing some funny, exciting or just cool dialogues. Which also has to do with the characters in the game. They are also mostly fine, but not really great. I moreliked the stations to discover every spot and explore the "galaxy" aka the gameplay in this game, which of course gets a bit tedious after a while, but i still liked it.
One thing was absolutely great in this game, and this was the music. And since games rarely hook me these days i wanted to vote an 8. But again, luckily more to the end, but i just cant stand all these trans non binary bs in games. How did we survive as gamers at this point before all those lgbqt stuff was forced into games? And what bugs me the most with this, is that its just difficult and stupid to read. The first time i thought they were talking about a groupuntil i realized we are talking about one person who just uses these pronouns that are actually meant for something totally different. Its annoying to read. Its annoying that they use a word that has a different meaning usually(refer to a group). So its just a 7. I highly wanted to play the first One after that, but i read there are even more of these characters in it, so i'll pass. It could also be easily a 6, cause i think its not great to dont offer a proper translation. They made a french translation though, but what is with other languages, like german? But at the end it was not the most difficut english, so ill give them a pass for this. PS: The RNG in this game is horrible as well! It softlocked me in my first run. 25% possibly bad outcome in this game actually means more like 40-60%. its just ridicolous how often you get negative outcomes.
Nice gameplay, but dialogue, Story and woke influence just ruin this game. Its judt written for 12y old. So much inclusion everywhere, you help muslims, play as a deaf, seeing und woman punching guys dozens of time in the face,superior and uglified MerryJane, Peter is also portrayed as a dumb weak person that needs to be **** very VERY stupid and boring side missions. What a waste of money from Sony.
