Guys,

This was actually the first God of War that I have ever played, and I friggen loved it! My wife and me tore through the main storyline in like 20 hours. We are now working on all the sidequests/valkaries. My one concern is that I felt like it ended really abruptly - I got a Metal Gear Solid 5 vibe from the ending, like nothing was resolved at all. I literally thought the game was only halfway done when the credits started to roll. Did anyone else feel this way?

Kratos fulfills the final wishes of his late wife, which was the end goal all along. Kratos and his son grow as their relationship changes greatly over the course of the adventure. That is the heart of the story and it was handled excellently.

Of course things get more complicated as more elements of Norse mythology are encountered, but they never overshadow that father/son story. It does set up some cool thing to explore in the second and third chapters of the new trilogy.

I talked about it a lot in the other thread (mostly spoiler free)
