Comment on Let's discuss: God of War

I never beat the first one (I think it was the first one anyway...)
The ps2 disc had a scratch on it and the game would freeze/crash when I got to a certain part. It was the cutscene where Kratos hurls a gigantic column if anyone remembers.
I would like to eventually replay and beat that one game for some childhood redemption.
I started playing the new god of war 2018 at one point, but couldn't really get into it at the time. There was(is) an oversaturation of viking focused content at the time and I was kind of burnt out on it by that point.
I hear the new games are really good though, so I'd also like to give them an honest chance at some point.

As for 2018: it’s a game with a big focus on combat, exploration and character driven storytelling. I can understand feeling burnt out on the viking aesthetic, but the game feels way more fantastical than historical to me.

Ha, fair enough. I'm fairly sure it was the first game. I just looked up a video, I think it actually may have been the part where Aries throws a pillar at Kratos which impales him in the chest.
