He points to the sequence in God of War Ragnarok featuring Atreus and Angrboda, which temporarily slows the pace of the plot, as evidence of this.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not his only criticism: he also rips into the decision to focus on Kratos\u2019 younger years, as opposed to the character we\u2019re all familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody likes the character we\u2019ve built billion-dollar franchises on,\u201d he remarks sarcastically. \u201cLet\u2019s just make him some generic kid like we\u2019re watching a WB Kids TV show or something.

I don\u2019t hate Sons of Sparta\u2019s visual aesthetic, but it could have been a bit better I think. More important, Jaffe didn\u2019t cite one of the trillion of ugly magic marker styled 2D games to compare it to\u2014and in that way he\u2019s 100% right. He picked games with a visual design language and art style that actually are top of their class.<\/p>\n<p>There are literally countless games (both 2D and 3D) that all use that magic marker slop aesthetic, the \u2018Fortnite look\u2019. The new 2D Castlevania shown off at this most recent State of Play is a prime example. The gameplay looks great and I\u2019m overjoyed to get a new 2D entry in the series, but that artistic \u2018style\u2019 is just awful.

He did not like the direction Sony took with the series, and he still sees it as his baby. And it\u2019s exactly because of this attachment that his opinion might not be totally objective on this game. He also hated the GoW 2018 reboot, which won numerous awards including goty, and is widely considered one of the best single player narrative games of all time. Not saying he\u2019s not entitled to his opinion, but it certainly seems he has some emotional bias.<\/p>\n<p>Also he often comes across unnuanced and hyperbolic, so personally, i wouldnt get feedback from this guy on these kinds of things. I must caveat this though, that i hardly know anything of the guy and these are mostly just impressions from the snippets i\u2019ve seen and read about him myself.<\/p>\n<p>Personally i find it very telling when someone says things like \u201cwho the F* wants to play this?\u201d When you say things like that you\u2019re not critiquing the game, but the people who like it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course everyone can have an opinion, but when you start to question what other peoples like, thats like asking why would anyone listen to a certain music genre?

Seems like he&#8217;s got a habit of getting stuck on one aspect of a game and dismisses the rest of it. Which is fine for someone like me or you, but y&#8217;know, people expect a more substantive critique from a developer, even if he&#8217;s not developing anymore.<br \/>That being said, he&#8217;s correct that no one was asking for the Adventures of Baby Kratos, and I think the game would be more appealing if they just made an action platformer divorced from the wider story.<br \/>Also I agree that Sons of Sparta should look a lot better for such a massive IP and the asking price.

From my experience, it&#8217;s been pretty decent. It&#8217;s clearly meant to be more bite-sized as we wait for the GoW trilogy, and I personally don&#8217;t mind the pixel art. I don&#8217;t want every pixel art game to have the same visual style, and it kinda reminds me of Boss Rush Mythology&#8217;s art style mixed with Apotheon&#8217;s animation.<\/p>\n<p>Also, god forbid they try to add some layers to Kratos. I feel like by GoW3, people saw Kratos as nothing more but an unlikeable murder machine when during the first few games, they had Kratos have moments of humanity, whether it&#8217;s in the final battle with Ares or the illusion in Chains of Olympics. It&#8217;s why I&#8217;m particularly less of a fan of how GoW3 characterized Kratos but that&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p>Btw, ain&#8217;t this the same guy who got stuck in Metroid Dread because he forgot to use a mechanic that the game told him how to?

With that said, when the reveal for this happened on State of Play I will freely admit I was underwhelmed by the look of the game.

I don&#8217;t think SoS looks bad, but I would agree that it is a huge departure from the looks of arguably Sony&#8217;s signature franchise and I doubt the average GoW fan will like it.<\/p>\n<p>I have an open mind about the actual quality of the game, but I&#8217;m not a big GoW fan, so I&#8217;ll likely wait until it&#8217;s added to PS Plus.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9023605\" data-author=\"users\/344884\" data-subject=\"comments\/9023605\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9023605\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"LogicStrikesAgain\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9023605\">83<\/a><\/li>\n<li>LogicStrikesAgain<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-14T15:50:22+00:00\">Sat, 3:50pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@wittedbugle I get what you\u2019re saying, and i dont support ad hominem attacks either.

I watched him on a podcast once with LSM. He said he couldn&#8217;t understand all the hype Kojima gets, said Kojima is overrated, Kojima is full of himself and there&#8217;s too many Kojima-glazers in the industry. There&#8217;s more skill and creativity in the first 20mins of both Death stranding games then in any game Jaffe ever made. In the past whenever he&#8217;s on a podcast, everything out of his mouth is &#8220;my GOW this&#8221; or &#8220;my GOW that&#8221;. He also makes like there is only 3 GOW games on earth, the ones he helped make.

If the game ran like crap and kept crashing, do you have to struggle through that for 30 hours before you&#8217;re allowed to conclude that it runs like crap and keeps crashing? And you can finish some games in an hour so obviously you&#8217;d have to be able to come to a meaningful conclusion in an hour then. But even if it&#8217;s longer, if you play the first hour of, say, Super Mario World and really don&#8217;t like the gameplay, how does it particularly change after that in a way that would change your mind?<\/p>\n<p>In this particular case, his various issues like its art style aren&#8217;t going to change no matter how long he plays it. You&#8217;re right with certain games, though. Like I didn&#8217;t actually like FFVII much after a few hours and stopped playing it. I thought the whole game was just going to be in Midgar, going around blowing up reactors. I didn&#8217;t know about Jenova, Sephiroth, Meteor, Aeris dying, etc and I hadn&#8217;t seen the materia system&#8217;s depth. But then it went on to he on of my all time favourites, so quite the change of opinion.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9023771\" data-author=\"users\/339586\" data-subject=\"comments\/9023771\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9023771\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/339586\/avatar.jpg?v=1710961667\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dalamar\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9023771\">116<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Dalamar<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-14T17:42:09+00:00\">Sat, 5:42pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>Hate the man all you want, but he is definitely right about Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi and Blasphemous looking better and costing less.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9023775\" data-author=\"users\/366754\" data-subject=\"comments\/9023775\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9023775\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"wittedbugle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9023775\">117<\/a><\/li>\n<li>wittedbugle<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-14T17:45:22+00:00\">Sat, 5:45pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@Leetware1 as always, it is all about engagement.

And to be cynical, this helps his brand. We are going to hear a lot about his views about the Remastered series, I have no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>I like this the idea of a 2D game, reminds me of old school Metroidvania (and considering that GoW leans into that in terms of level design, I think it is quite cool entry in a great series of games). I\u2019ve not played this yet but glad to see Sony just trying different things &#8211; and we have complained so much about the lack of that. So seeing this, Tokon, Kena, Saros &#8211; real variety from them. It\u2019s good.<\/p>\n<p>As for a cash in etc &#8211; it is going for what? \u00a325 quid? It sounds like there 15-20 hours of gameplay, it has an orchestral score, real voice acting. Most importantly, players seem to be enjoying it and if it\u2019s not for you &#8211; well, you really don\u2019t have to play it.

Yeah there are some like the games you mentioned that spin absorbing yarns, but personally I look back at some games from the past and believe they got to the point quicker and some of them made me care on a much deeper level. Take The Getaway&#8217;s premise for instance, you&#8217;re Mark Hammond and your wife has just been murdered by gangsters and they kidnapped his son. There you have a quick motivation to go and chase down and avenge the evildoers. I know The Getaway&#8217;s cutscenes weren&#8217;t long and the characters were like a pencil sketch with the ink colouring that makes them come alive-but the game sure did make you care about the situation upfront.<\/p>\n<p>Another game I feel gets really really overlooked is Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Studio Ghibli made the story and in my opinion it blows any modern videogame story out of the water. A child named Oliver goes on a quest to rescue his mother in another world. The flashbacks with Oliver and his mother are some of the most meaningful cutscenes I&#8217;ve ever encountered in the game, and the story has plenty of whimsy and charm as well as deep compassionate moments and bonds. I don&#8217;t relate as easily to other videogame stories as much, probably because they involve killing and growing up in a post-apocalypse. I know there are many epic stories, but few of them I actually really care about.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9024166\" data-author=\"users\/286186\" data-subject=\"comments\/9024166\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9024166\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DanteDevilHunter\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9024166\">164<\/a><\/li>\n<li>DanteDevilHunter<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-15T01:23:52+00:00\">Yesterday, 1:23am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>The guy is an idiot who only plays games when being payed.

I mean, looking at Cory and Stig records, they did a great job with GoW 2 &amp; 2018 and GoW 3 &amp; Star Wars Jedi while Jaffe didn&#8217;t make a single game since his biggest flop Drawn to Death in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9024175\" data-author=\"users\/356988\" data-subject=\"comments\/9024175\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9024175\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/356988\/avatar.jpg?v=1753022346\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Zeugziumy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9024175\">166<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Zeugziumy<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-15T01:36:17+00:00\">Yesterday, 1:36am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>youtube aaah thumbnail<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9024193\" data-author=\"users\/324253\" data-subject=\"comments\/9024193\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9024193\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/324253\/avatar.jpg?v=1770388185\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Krlozgod\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9024193\">167<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Krlozgod<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-15T01:55:19+00:00\">Yesterday, 1:55am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@nomither6 because he is an as$h0l\u20ac.

When Concord flopped, instead of bringing the IP back in a different way or giving the studio another shot at making another game, maybe even a single-player one, they just shuttered the studio completely. Or how can we forget when the studio that made Concrete Genie, which was also a small-sized first-party game, was also shut down? At the end of the day, I still believe we need more games like this so Sony can at least have something release in a year while we wait for the bigger titles. Nintendo does something similar and it doesn&#8217;t seem like they&#8217;re struggling financially (nor are they just shutting down studios for not meeting their expectations). Tho I do agree even smaller-sized games, especially from a big company like Sony, do deserve a bit more of budget if it means increasing the quality of its presentation so it can make the pricing more justifiable.<\/p>\n<p>However i&#8217;m also starting to think some people really are just calling the game ugly just because it&#8217;s 2D. On Twitter I saw someone compare it to Metroid Dread, even though both games have completely different artstyles. Then somone compared to Ryse. You know that 2013 Xbox One launch title that felt less of a game and more of a tech demo to showcase the graphical fidelity? Also seems like an unfair comparision when Microsoft gave us that Battletoads 2020 game that unironically looks more cheap, plus TLoU2, GoW Raganrok and Ghost of Yotei all were released before Sons of Sparta and all looks miles better than Ryse. It&#8217;s funny how before xbox and nintendo fanboys used to always say that their games were all about the gameplay and not the graphics, yet now suddenly they all became &#8220;graphic enthusiasts&#8221; the moment Sony released a game that doesn&#8217;t look graphically next-gen in their eyes for them to crap on. Guess gamers nowadays really only care about visuals, yet refuse to admit all because they know they&#8217;d look like complete idiots.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9024561\" data-author=\"users\/254682\" data-subject=\"comments\/9024561\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9024561\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/254682\/avatar.jpg?v=1660580441\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"zebric21\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9024561\">191<\/a><\/li>\n<li>zebric21<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-15T14:20:48+00:00\">Yesterday, 2:20pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I don&#8217;t give a damn about people trying to pursuit a youtube carreer or side hustle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment9024565\" data-author=\"users\/354653\" data-subject=\"comments\/9024565\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"9024565\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"White_oyster\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2026\/02\/one-of-the-worst-decisions-ever-made-god-of-war-creator-tears-total-crap-2d-title-apart#comment9024565\">192<\/a><\/li>\n<li>White_oyster<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2026-02-15T14:28:39+00:00\">Yesterday, 2:28pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I haven\u2019t played it, but looking forward to trying it.
