If there were more stars to give I would surely give that to this game to show how much I loved playing it.
If you have played all of the GOW games like me you would know Kratos's past, his approach to deal with emotions. This game gave justice to how a father changed his ways for the welfare of his son. I assure you will be less annoyed with Atreus this time, you will actually get to empathise with him. The story is so fulfilling ...each moment seems so well written. This would be the first game where I have never missed the chance to not listen to the character's conversation, which were so immersing.
Apart from the story itself, you will surely enjoy the gameplay. There are combos, weapons, new enemies, new puzzles to solve.
Anything I say is not enough to explain its glory. Just play it !!!
