Excellent review. Thanks for the in-depth about the upgrading and new weapon as well as the section with Atreus. I don't mind playing as other characters in seemingly single-player-role games as long as it is interesting and the character is either likeable or fun to experience. I'll have to wait and see when I play what I feel about the cutscenes and the new characters as I have not been a fan of all of their designs or all of the characters in this universe. Loved your angle about it being a swan song for the PS4 as well. I still prefer the previous God of War games with its combat style and Kratos as a character, but with its improvements and 20-50 hour sweet spot of length, it seems like a winner!
All the RPG options and interesting characters looks great! I'm intrigued by the spear, after playing with the Frenzy themed one in Elden Ring (Vyke's). >:3
You're making a big deal out of the Atreus gameplay segments. Everyone loves his character and it seems like you may not given that you didn't like playing him
