Best game I've played in years. Sold 3.1M copies in it's first 3 days...best selling Sony exclusive release EVER in that sort of time frame.

I'm not even usually a fan of RPG-type games. Crafting, XP, loot, skill trees, all of that is foreign to me. I can never get into them, because I worry that if I build up the wrong things, I'll leave myself at a point where it's impossible to progress. I don't even know if that is realistic or not. I guess you could always backtrack and collect more, and then build up what you need, but that sounds like a nightmare. Whatever, I guess I'll learn with this game.

I put up with that part, just because of how good it looks in 4K HDR and the absurdity of the action. I replayed the Stranger fight 3 times, because it was cracking me up. I've also read that the game starts off slow, so I'm looking forward to how much more crazy it gets.

Yeah, it definitely picks up even more later on...the God of War series has had some of the better boss battles of all time, and this one does not disappoint. If it helps you at all, you don't really have to worry about progression, you'll earn more than enough XP to get every skill and the permanent weapons upgrades that rely on items that are "found" by progressing the main storyline.
