Is it any different mechanically from the previous games? Also, how much "father-son" stuff takes up the story?

It feels a lot more like The Last of Us but it's still a hack n slash with light rpg elements. There's a lot of banter between kratos and his son Atreus and yet it's quite cute for the most part.

I admit, I don't know anything about the story of this game.
Is that his biological son or is he adopted?
I know kratos's old family was killed by the gods and that's why he was pissed as hell, but that's it.

Biological, he settled down with another woman.

Well, how about this:

Do Kratos and his son bond through quiet moments like playing ball with one another (or whatever the viking equivalent is), or do they bond in battle? I'd prefer the latter, because I like the idea of his son slaying a god and Kratos responding with, "That's my boy..."

The story essentially one long camping trip to a mountain with all the usual camping trip tropes, such as hiking, boating, hunting, sharing stories, and last but not least, slaying all manner of man and god alike that try to get in their way.

But I need to know the "camp" to "murder" ratio.

Honestly shocked that this game might actually be good, the pre-release footage didn't do it a lot of favors and the early reviews just screamed "thanks for the free money, Sony"

From what I've seen the game mixed in evenly-sized periods of exploring, bouts against norse monsters, and meeting with someone to advance the plot.

I'd recommend this longplay for further questions.

As someone who intensely disliked the direction this game was going in from the start, there was something cathartic in watching The Gaming Brit talk about it. It is basically confirmation bias I admit, but I'm a huge fan of the old GoW games and I largely agree with this guy when it comes to modern action games and their bad habit of trying to be "cinematic."

I've been replaying God of War III and it makes me sad that there's not really anything like that in the mainstream anymore.
