Review: God of War – Ring the Bells of War
Pros:
+Character depth and growth is astoundingly well done
+Some of the best visuals made available on the PlayStation 4
+The sound design is superb and stands out among its peer titles
+Combat has been slowed down and given purpose for both Kratos and Atreus
+The semi-open world is rather well designed, allowing for players to explore it to its fullest
Cons:
-None

This time, Kratos has changed. He’s not the demigod that we once knew. Now, he’s a man, a father, and the beloved to his now deceased Midgardian wife.
