God of War Ragnarok
Initial impressions were much the same as with the 2018 game in that I felt utterly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things I could craft, upgrade, unlock and add to my 'build'. I think I'm beginning to get my head around that aspect now, although I'd still argue the game gives you far too much stuff in that regard. I've just runes coming out of my special attacks that are attached to my gauntlets (or at least it feels like it).
I also had a pretty rough time with the combat. Maybe the game suffers a little from the fact that the previous game I played was Sekiro, which is held in pretty high standard, but Ragnarok like 2018 before it just feels....kinda rubbish in comparison. I've notched it down to the second highest difficulty, which alleviates a lot of the frustration, and allows me to get to the bits I'm actually enjoying; namely the story, characters and incredible visuals.
HLTB says this is going to take me upwards of 40 hrs to complete. I'm a bit pressed for time these days, so I likely won't be going on too many sidequests, but I still imagine this one will take me the best part of a month or two to beat, and that's okay.
