God of War is an incredible experience from start to finish. The game's production value is staggering, and really shines through the impeccable quality and graphical fidelity of the cutscenes, animation, and the plethora of cinematic moments littered throughout the story.

I have never played a GoW game, but this entry does an incredible job at representing already established characters to new players; giving enough glimpse and perspective into Kratos' past and how he has ended up in his current situation, and a lot of it is delivered very cleverly though dialogue and naturally occurring moments. Very impressed. In other words, the call backs and exposition to the original series do not feel like your typical marvel-esque fan-service.
The game's true strength comes from the quality of the story and writing. There is an overall plot going on with the Norse Gods; Odin, Baldur and the like hunting down Kratos. However, the main appeal for me was the relationship between Atreus and Kratos; how that changes over time, and how Kratos learns to become more of a father, rather than a strict mentor or teacher. The latter half of the game has some very cathartic and heart-warming moment, and also has some decent humour that doesn't undermine the seriousness of the story.

All the characters are great and well acted (mo-cap and VA). This truly is one of the more cinematic experiences I've had in the last decade. I will say it scratched an itch that certain games like RDR2 and DT left behind.

Can't wait for Ragnarok

This is no simple DLC. This is a full on expansion. It serves as a great continuation of CDPR's long standing reputation for S-tier quality post-release content (Hearts of Stone, Blood and Wine).

It capitalises, and builds on the foundations of Cyberpunks' biggest strength: its story, characters and world building. While, yes, there are added gigs, side missions, weapons, vehicles and a new locale, the meat of this DLC is within the new characters introduced and the spy-thriller adventure that ensues.
The first 2-hours feature one of the best action set-pieces in the entire game, and culminates in an incredibly personal, emotional and cinematic conclusion that absolutely tugged at my heartstrings. In my opinion, this story rivals the base game story, and I'm torn between which one I like better.
Phantom Liberty builds upon already established material from the base game's lore, so nothing is really plucked from thin air to supplement the story it wants to tell.

All-in-all, I had a blast. The amount of content is akin to a full game; some 25-30 hours, and its new ending for the base game left me with a very bittersweet aftertaste. All for £24.99. Well done to all the folks that poured their soul into this from CDPR
