      I didn’t mean to hit a sure spot, and good for people if they like it, but it just seems so all over the place…

      Originally GoW was Greek mythology, and then the last couple of games were all Norse mythology, but now it looks like a jumble of random mishmash ideas and aesthetics. You’d be forgiven for trying this was a Mortal Kombat cutscene…

      I guess it’s like a mythology cinematic universe, or something? Like, what culture/mythos is the jelly cube from?

        Because it’s a myth, anything can happen in mythology so a mix of everything are not a bad thing

          Fair enough! I’m genuinely not trying to be a hater.

          However, there is a line between mythology (a set of tales and myths spawning from a specific historical culture) and fantasy (a fictitious construct from the start). This particular game seems to be going pretty far into the realm of fantasy with the jello cube and the cinematic universe style storytelling, but maybe all of the God of War games have been like that, I don’t know.
