Well, this is another God of War game. I beat up some dudes, killed giant monsters and watch Kratos be angry a lot, as expected. While that may seem a bit boring (it is the 6th game in the series after all), it still plays really well, looks fucking amazing and is a lot of fun.
It starts with Kratos in chains, fighting a weird, half naked bug lady that he seems to have a history with. The whole demo is about chasing that bitch after Kratos escapes. Combat feels the same but has changed slightly. For example, the fury meter now allows for new attacks when full, even if it's not activated yet. Also, there are new grapple moves and the quick time events are designed a bit differently. Overall though, this is still God of War. There was a cool sequence where Kratos slides down some rubble, it almost felt like a racing segment. There was also a really cool battle with a humongous boss. The creatures tore out the section of the building that Kratos was in and waved it around like a toy plane while our hero had to fight enemies in the middle of the moving thing. I will definitely play this game at some point but there are others I would rather play first.
