![]() Fights have a fluidly that they lack on PS4, and even when the screen gets crowded with all manner of monstrous foes I’ve yet to notice any dips. A higher framerate is always my preferred method of play, but in an action-heavy game like God of War, it really is a game-changing upgrade. On PS5 you can enjoy God of War in a rock-solid 60 fps and what a world of difference this framerate leap makes. God of War has not received the full native PS5 port treatment ala Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut or Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, but the game has received a performance boost that makes the PS5 the definitive place to play it, on a console at least (I've not played its apparently very good PC port) The franchise’s greek mythology roots still have their merits, but give me Odin over Zeus any day. Granted this is likely in large part because I just saw Robert Egger’s The Northman in theatres, so I’m riding a bit of a Norse wave right now. The switch to a setting inspired by Norse mythology is another aspect that I greatly appreciate in God of War. From hidden treasure chests and environmental puzzles to small side quests that serve as fun little distractions, God of War always gives players a reason to stop and poke around a bit. It's not an open-world game, but each new area is teeming with secrets to uncover. And the frequent unlocks and upgrades keep combat engaging across the entire game, but what really makes God of War such a joy to play is its exploration. I appreciate the efforts of developer Santa Monica Studio to finally give Kratos a meaningful character arc. However, once you've wrapped your head around the various upgrade menus and collectible currencies, this sprinkling of RPG elements proves to be a natural fit for the series. Previous God of War games offered a smattering of unlockable weapons and upgrades, but the latest God of War gives you such a constant stream of new equipment and additional combat moves that at first, it's actually a little overwhelming. Plus, throwing the Leviathan Axe and then recalling it with a single button press just never gets old. I’d probably argue that early game fights are pretty repetitive, but once you’ve unlocked a few abilities and start squaring off against more challenging foes things get significantly more interesting. There’s still a very healthy dose of cinematic, and expectedly brutal, combat.
