I really don't care about God of War and I don't like Kratos, but these reviews...

Have only a passing knowledge of the previous games but this will need a look. I've now got Bloodbourne, this, Horizon and Lost legacy all to play now. It's taken a while but the PS4 catalogue has some seriously fantastic exclusive titles now.

Uncharted Lost Legacy can probably be completed in a weekend, worth it though, great final hour.

strawberry floating ditto. Unfortunately I can't see the strawberry floater for less than £50 over here (France, that is).

Guess I'll be buying a new release after all. This just looks too good to wait for.

The Easy Allies review (and then the IGN one) completely sold me on this

I was expecting it to be pretty similar to the original, just in a new setting, and didn't pay much attention to it. 25-30 hours (!) was still what stood out to me, sounds like a classic.

(BTW, is GoW 3 worth playing too, never got round to it?)

This wasn't on my radar at all, but review hype has worked, and I've preordered.

I'll definitely be getting this when it drops to £15 in 5 years.
