God of War Hits for PlayStation 4

This is a gift

This is the first game I have played in this series. So I know none of the backstory, none of the context and none of the characters. i also generally don't like fighting games.But this... wow.In the game, you play the very grumpy and bad tempered Kratos. Your wife has just died, and her last request was that you take her ashes to the peak of the highest mountain. So off you do, with her ashes and your son, Atreus.Kratos is not a good dad. Atreus can do nothing right. NOT NOW, BOY! is the extent of their relationship.And en route to the mountain top you have a lot of adventures. Some require fighting foes, using your axe and Atreus' bow. There are puzzles to be solved, things to climb, lots to find.It looks simply breathtaking. The only game I have seen that comes close to Red Dead Redemption 2 in terms of how good it looks. And very cleverly, it's all presented in a continuous shot. So you're always in the story. And what a great story - there are dragons, giants, elves, witches and it's all great.But what elevates it is the relationship between the characters - at its heart, this is a story about a father and a son learning to be a family again after the death of a wife & mother. It seems weird to say it, but it's beautifully done.If you've not played it, you really should. And it's less than twenty quid!
