Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: gods, monsters, and gates!
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
God of War – PS5
It’s the chests – I’ve always loved how Kratos deals with chests. For me, this is God of War distilled into an animation. It tells you who he is and what the game is about. And he is about power. He is about no nonsense. Does he carefully open a chest? No! He rips off the lids like they are jars of gherkins and he really wants to eat his burger. It’s like he’s furious at the lid simply for existing, for daring to get in the way. He gets so angry in God of War PS4 there are some chests he just punches straight down and through, furiously grabbing whatever hides inside.
