Didn't realize the Norse GoW games were so hated until now I guess lol. I thought it looked pretty good too though!

I think it’s mostly from GoW “traditionalists.” I believe the Norse saga has been broadly appealing in the age of narrative-heavy, emotional storytelling games. I think they’re still generally well liked within the series fandom

E: “more” broadly appealing is probably inaccurate. I’d guess about equal

I am one of those “traditionalists”. It works with the Witcher, cause there were many witchers. God of War, however, was the one and only. If anything, logically it should be about Ares at most. But that’s just my opinion. The game looks stunning and I have trust in Santa Monica, so the game must be great
