I just put it on my Steam wish list this week coincidentally. Yeah, looks interesting.
First, I don't think it's a "bad" game. Great production values, controls well, there's plenty to like. However, I don't like what they've done to Kratos. Where is my rage machine? I don't like the play between Kratos and son, mechanically or in terms of dialogue. And things feel bloated and not well-conceived in terms of upgrades and collectibles. I'll probably have a fair bit more to say about it in my year-end review, and to be fair, I still have plenty of game left I'm sure, so my overall opinion could change - but I don't think so. It's really my biggest disappointment in gaming in a long while at this point.
