You Can’t Do Everything ImmediatelyĪ few hours into God of War, you’ll go from a largely linear experience to a much more open one. So here are five of those things we wish we knew before starting God of War. With such a big game to tackle, there’s a lot that we wish we knew before diving headfirst into this Nordic Valhalla of a gameplay experience. Regardless of what has changed and what’s stayed the same, it’s a huge, rewarding experience. In our very positive review of the game, we said that “Vengeance may not be what Kratos seeks anymore, but that has done little to stop the God of War franchise.” It’s true, God of War is very different from its predecessors, but it’s also very similar. God of War for the PlayStation 4 is nearly upon us.
