God of War Ragnarök

Some profoundly annoying level design (dreadful run-backs), with puzzles that often feel like time wasters rather than anything satisfying. Combat was generally good and occasionally absurdly frustrating, with timings of party/dodge/break indicators often happening at weird times in relation to when you need to actually react to the incoming attack, and bosses ignoring your counters seemingly at random. I think a lot of the armour designs aren't great either, Kratos looks ridiculous in full plate. That said the story almost made me cry twice and the ending was so well done it literally undid all of my frustrations in real time, so actually it's pretty good
