I had never played a God of War game before so I was pretty much entering the story from this opus yet I didn't felt abandoned nor lost.

There was some times which referred to previous opus but it was explained later on so it was still okay.

The story is really great and interesting, even side quest got me going even though sometimes they were basically saying go fetch this item at the mountain pick and the musics were always on spot.

The Game-Play also felt pretty great, I don't think I ever enjoyed a game that much.

I still have some complaint, in fact one, it's a spoiler so you don't have to read after that if you didn't play the game and don't want to get spoiled else feel free to continue. The last boss (story) is a billion times easier than the last "Alt" boss (Valkyries Queen) which forced me, after 5-6 hours, to decrease the difficulty because I wanted to know the story.

Else, I'm not a completionist so I didn't bother collecting, there was too much of them too, every collectables and apart if you want to do so alone there is lots of guide, map and videos to help you it's not that difficult.
