"God of War" game

Looks inside

Not Kratos as protagonist

Why is it called God of War then ?

Why not call it Laufey or Laufey: A God of War Story ?

Besides that, "Santa Monica never misses" ? How the hell do you know ? The game ain't out.

Laufey: A God of War Story sounds cool.

Literally my only gripe with the game so far. The dialogue is a bit corny too but other than that it seems quite fun.

Don't know about the dialogue, I didn't watch the gameplay fully, but I can tell you I share the gripe with you.

Because the series is called god of war and it’s a spin off? What else would it be called? The miles morales game was still Spider-Man and you weren’t Peter Parker…

Almost every assassins creed game is a different character in a different time period but they’re all still assassins creed games. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Miles Morales is Spider-Man though, Laufey isn't the God of War

There seem to be multiple gods of war in this game, including the big red guy. Also, the Tomb Raider games are not called Lara Croft and Ares is the Greek god of war. People didn't want to play as a mature dad Kratos either.

Its not spin off....this is mainline game. Stop spreading lies on internet

Such a strawman argument. Miles Morales is Spider-Man as well while Faye isn't a God of War. If it was with Tyr as the protagonist, no one would say shit. For Assassin's Creed, you must not know what CREED means.

It’s the same franchise, similar gameplay style, with substantial characters from the same series. The specifics of the title and its ordering really don’t matter. It’s a God of War game.

But it's not. She is cool and the game looks cool but she is not the God of War.
