The usual bought and paid for, long winded game reviews are at the top. You can tell because no one actually writes the way the do and you can see a complete shift in the literacy quality between the good reviews and the honest reviews written by normal people from the middle to low score reviews. If you want a real review scroll down to the middle range or read the short reviews. The long ones are people who are paid to write good reviews and have absolutely nothing bad to say about the game or even one minor grievance and you can tell they are biased. They are so false.

Boring, too easy, way over rated, the franchise has turned into what all the other Sony exclusives are. Long cutscenes with great graphics but gameplay stripped back. You barely fight actually. If you are hoping for a challenging combat heavy hack and slash game like the rest of the GOW games; This isn’t it. They have changed the formula where they focus on story, so much so that the game is so easy and holds your hand and progresses you through it. You will spend majority of your time watching the screen and not playing it. A child could master this game in one sitting. The game holds your hand so much you will be literally pointed where to go every second of the way and it will literally tell you what to do in its basic puzzles before you even have a chance to think about them, it’s a wonder why they are even there. The levelling up and upgrade system is so basic and there isn’t really much moves to unlock and it doesn’t really matter, you won’t be using them anyway, because you won’t be making combos. You will just be pressing square. You can walk through this game in a day if you could skip cutscenes, you’d have about 6 hours of easy unfulfilling gameplay. Even with cutscenes it’s still not very long. Decent graphics though that pretty much all the game is; eye candy. The game isn’t very in-depth and is just a sightseeing tour.
