I certainly had fun with the game despite its problems, but I was also happy that I got it on a 60% off sale, it wasn't worth full price. The game has some pretty grueling gameplay parts, involving walking without combat.
The dialogue got worse, it received a few Marvel elements, it received a hint of 'comic'.
Kratos here is very soft, you can even understand it in the context of wanting to be with his son, but he went beyond the point and became too soft.
GoW Ragnarok takes many things from the first one, improves it a little, and follows the same line as the first trilogy, you load little from the previous game, start almost from zero and have to improve everything again, the problem is that this works better in game structure of the original trilogy.
