Our Take
We’ve said nearly all we need to say about God of War. It’s a tremendous title and certainly the leader for Game of the Year at the moment. Given so many players wanting to experience the journey again, we love this addition to the game especially given the bonuses that have been included. Are you going to be jumping back in with Kratos and Atreus?
