I can't stop thinking about God Of War. I've never known a game progress in such a concise way whilst maintaining the sense of freedom in the same way before.

It's so rewarding to explore, and never feels like a hindrance to the main quest's progression when you do so, either. The pacing of the game's linearity being broken down with open free-roam sections is spot on, too.

It's approach to puzzle solving is great, too. It adopts the same thing that Breath of the Wild does, too, by building upon a baseline set of mechanics that are established very early on in the game in such a way that hasn't yet felt stale or repetitive.

And my god, the combat is f*cking fantastic. I absolutely adore how fluid it is, and how experimental you can be with different move sets/skill trees. I loved the originaltrilogy for it's ability to make you feel like a badass at all times, and this one has that in spades.
