QTE - Quick Time Events
Quick Time Event after QTE after QTE with more time spent watching cut scenes and dialog or skill trees than just playing the game. I applaud that the developer wanted to take a new approach with the franchise but frankly taking an icon from my teens and turning it into God of War meets Uncharted makes the game feel bland.
Certainly the voice acting is great, the visuals are on par with many current generation games and a sense of urgency is made in some of the scripting but I spent more time than I felt I should wiggling my fingers between A and D then pressing F on the red exclamation point than I wanted to deal with. It's not that they are hard, I just find them obnoxious and not worth the time to progress the story forward to try and keep the gamer entertained.
This would have been better off as an animated movie than a game, I feel I would have enjoyed it more. But due to all the QTE, I quit and uninstalled after the fight with the crazed gunman scene (won't spoil it).
All in all, if you enjoy QTEs then this game is for you... if you're like me an despise them then stay away.
