I wish the PR series would get a good video game treatment as those two. I mean Power Rangers has the same nostalgia value as Ninja Turtles and Transformers. Platinum Games making a PR game would be awesome.

See, that's exactly it: Kratos being in this game is the only thing that makes this God of War, so why have him? Kratos is tied to Greek mythology and the iconic GoW-style of gameplay, changing everything around him makes him look out of place.

It's like you make a movie about a sci-fi spacefighter pilot, but then decide you want to have the setting to be the Wild West. With a small western town, gunfights at high noon and all that good stuff. Do you keep the pilot as your main character? No, you choose a cowboy or a sheriff or something like that.

The new God of War game looks like a spin-off or a completely different game yet Kratos is there. It's just not working.

Spin-offs that focus on different gods of war from other mythologies have been discussed in the past so I don’t get why they can’t make a clean cut and tell a new story. Or you now, don’t call the game God of War if it’s just not looking like it. But as Dr. Kain said, they want to push a well known franchise. It's just not feeling right to me.

And if they want to have Kratos visit other mythologies then they should better make the game feel like a God of War game. This is looking like a more action based The Last of Us, not God of War.

That’s my problem with the game. Feels nothing like God of War, but is called God of War and Kratos is there. If it would be a spin-off title with a new main character but also set in the GoW-universe (only in a different part of the world at a different time) then fine. If it would be a new GoW sequel where Kratos goes north to beat up some Nordic gods in his classic style with a few new twists and turns to the formula, also fine.

But this game is neither of those things, that’s my issue with it.
