The “give me god of war” difficulty is just ridiculous

I'll say. Enemies take forever to kill, can power up so they take double forever to kill and you better not get hit more than twice fighting several of them 2-4 at a time in a single checkpoint.

9 heavy attacks to kill the lvl 1 Draug, and the enemy power up heals too, it’s almost impossible to fill the stun bar.... :argh:

I think I’ll restart on lower. This is bullshit.

If enemies at least dropped health more often, this is not fun.

“hmmm..we have something a little different. It’s more like keep playing when you finish because there is so much stuff we put in beyond the main journey!”

Quote from one of the devs, so I think you’ll be able to keep on playing to get everything/explore. But this difficulty seems to only be available when starting (the other ones you can change at will).

The first fights are completely ridiculous, now that I have a few skills it’s a bit more manageable, gonna play a bit more later. The boss fights were ok/easy (first ones at least) problem is that fighting mobs is a pain in the rear end.

Game owns a lot, only problems I saw are with this difficulty, everything else is A+

Yeah, in the hardest difficulty you have to fight in the most boring way. Let the boy carry you, keep running and doing small attacks / throwing axe millions of times.

How to make higher difficulties better: new enemy mechanics, better IA, new enemies compositions, ....

They really need to rebalance, gonna have a try at the lower ones to see which one has the sweet spot.

First lovely thing I've found in the game: if you kill a Traveler (or any important monster) but die while finishing him/while Atreus kills him the game saves right after and you've lost the loot forever.

Go to the dwarves, there’s a “missed loot” option in their shop

The game ends on a big cliffhanger and leaves a lot of unanswered questions, I can only see them doing non main story related DLCs. Can’t wait for GoW 6
